Bawa is a synonym for power. It is the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way.

It is also the study of Politics.

An Indian term for discriminating against Iranians (Parsi or Pharsee) settled in India. Potrayed in Indian media as foolish or hyper-eccentric old men with glasses, a jewish cap (kippah) and a long beard.
