Question

15. What was the role of Zamidar in Administration?

Answer 1

Answer:

The role of the zamindar in Mughal administration was to collect the revenues and taxes from the peasants. Thus, they acted as an intermediate between the Mughals and the peasants. In some areas, the zamindars exercised a great deal of power and were considered a part of the rural elite, like the village headman or the chieftains.
