HOLA META,
ADMINISTRATION OF SHER SHAH SURI
Sher Shah Suri, also know as Sher Khan or the Lion King, was one of the greatest administrators of medieval Indian. The Sher Shah Suri administration was based on the old institutions in a new spirit, and in this task attained to much success that he almost transformed the medieval Indian administration and made it serve the interest of the people. He created no new ministry and his administrative divisions and sub-divisions were borrowed from the past, and so also the titles of his officer. His military reforms were those of Ala-ud-din Khalji and even his revenue administration was not really new and original. But he breathed a new spirit in these old institutions and turned them into instruments of popular good.
The Central administration
It was not humanly possible for one man to look after the interests of such a huge empire without the assistance of ministers. Consequently, Sher Shah had four ministers after the model of the Sultanate period. They were
Diwan-i-Wazarat,
Diwan-i-Ariz,
Diwan-i-Risalat, and
Diwan-i-Insha.
Provincial administration of Sher Shah
Dr. Saran maintains that Sher Shah did have large military governorship. Throughout the Sultanate period, including the reign of Sher Shah and his son Islam Shah, there were administrative divisions corresponding to provinces, but they were not uniform in size or income. . But while during the reign of earlier sultans of Delhi the control of the central government over them was nominal, under Sher Shah it was substantial and strict. It will, thus, be seen that there were military governorships in the time of Sher Shah, such as those of Lahore, the Punjab, Malwa and Ajmer. The officials in charge of these provinces were commanders of large armies.
