Question

describe the uniform system of administration established by the Mughals ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A uniform system of administration was established the Mughals. It evolved and strengthened during Akbar's rule.

There was a strong centralized government with king having the final authority over all important matters including politics, military, administrative and judiciary. All the decisions taken by him were final and could not be challenged by anyone.

The king was helped by a team of ministers. He could appoint, promote or dismiss these ministers or officials.

Important council of ministers were the diwan, mir bakshi, qazi, chief sadr and the vakil. All these ministers worked under the supervision of the king.

Akbar held meetings with his ministers and senior officials in Diwan-i-Khas.

The Mughal Empire was divided into fifteen provinces or the subas. A governor or the subedar was in charge of the province.

While the subedar looked after the military and the civil affairs, the diwan kept an account of the land revenues. Both the subedar and the diwan kept a check on each other.

An official in the royal service was given a rank or a mansab depending upon the nature of hos work. While a mansabdar of a lower level could maintain up to ten horsemen, the mansabdar of the highest level could keep seven thousand horsemen.

Revenues from land were an important source of income for the state. During the reign of Akbar, a land revenue system known as ‘bandobast’ was introduced by Todar Mal.
