Answer:
The Zamindars were the local elite or rural aristocracy who exercised authority in their areas. The Mansabdari and the Jagirdari were the two main institutions created by Akbar to consolidate and expand his empire which embraced both civil and military sectors of administration. Thus the Mansabdars, Jagirdars and Zamindars were a part of the Mughal nobility which acted as a prop of the Mughal administrative structure created by Akbar and nurtured by his successors.
