Naik (Nk; sometimes historically spelled nayak) is an Indian Army and Pakistan Army rank equivalent to corporal. The rank was previously used in the Indian Army during the Raj and the Camel Corps, ranking between lance naik and havildar. In cavalry units, the equivalent is lance daffadar. Like a British corporal, a naik wears two rank chevrons.
