short note
Satraps were the governors of the provinces of the ancient Median and Achaemenid Empires and in several of their successors, such as in the Sasanian Empire and the Hellenistic empires.[2] The satrap served as viceroy to the king, though with considerable autonomy. The word came to suggest tyranny or ostentatious splendour.[3][4]
brief explanation
The Ancient Sakas in India had introduced Satrap system of government, along with Parthians, which was quite similar to the Iranian Achaemenid and Seleucid. Under this system, the kingdom was divided into provinces, each under military governor Mahakshatrapa (great satrap). The governors of lower status were called kshatrapas (satraps). These governors had the power to issue their own inscriptions and mint their own coins. According to the modern literature the term 'Satrap' used metaphorically to refer to as world leaders or governors who are heavily influenced by larger world superpowers or hegemonies and act as their surrogates.
