A rowdy-sheeter is a colloquial term used in India for someone who has a criminal record and is notorious for their disruptive behavior. Some synonyms for this term include troublemaker, hooligan, ruffian, delinquent, and miscreant. These words are used to describe someone who indulges in violent or aggressive behavior, and their actions are considered to be socially unacceptable. A rowdy-sheeter is often associated with a criminal gang and is involved in activities such as extortion, theft, and assault. To avoid negative connotations, some people use neutral terms such as repeat offender or ex-convict instead of rowdy-sheeter.
