The Mughal emperors bore the title “Padshah” meaning the emperor. This was evident that they wanted to practice an unanswerable authority over their subjects. Jalal-ud-din Akbar declared himself as an arbiter while Aurangzeb Alamgir acted as an strong orthodox Muslim ruler. The Mughal administration was basically divided into three types which are as following:
1. The central administration
2. The military administration
3. The revenue administration
In the central administration the emperor was the head of the state having unlimited power of formulating laws, he was the Chief Executive and the military commander. The emperor was the final despot and his law or order was the final rather he was considered as the shadow of God on earth as in the case of Jala-ud-din Akbar. Though the emperor enjoyed unlimited powers and authority yet he used to take into consideration the advices given by the court officials or nobility which had great influence over the state politics. The Mughals were quite sensible in terms of using the loyalties of their nobility unlike the sultans mostly came under the influence of their nobility and usually lost their power into their hands.
Under the emperor were the ministers who were appointed for different state tasks and assisted the ruler. Each state department had its minister who was further the head of junior ministers and assistants. There was the prime minister who was responsible for the overall state running. Then there was a Mir Bukhshi who was the in charge of the military. He was supposed to function for the recruitment, maintaining huliya, branding of the horses and supplies to the army. Then there was a minister called Sadar-us-Sudur who was responsible for religious matters. Chief Qazi was another main minister who was the highest judicial authority in the state. For keeping a moral status of the society and to prevent social evils like drinking and gambling there was a minister called the Muhtasib.
