What’s the Hindi word for a flail / morning star / chain mace?
It’s a medieval weapon derived from this agricultural tool:

And according to this site it was also used in Central India:

Hi GV,
thanks a lot.
But I think the word “मूसल” would be a mortar:

MemberDon’t you see any difference between “मसूल” and “मूसल”?
