Answer:
hey mate your answer
Explanation:
Mansabdari system came to India basically with the mughals. Mansabdars were the people of military background who were made head of many small areas which were called the mansabs. These officials were handed the duty of maintaining army units from their areas according to size and capability. There should not be misunderstood as the administrators of the area , they were only responsible for fulfillment of the military needs of the mughal empire and were also provided the revenue share of the area. There were 33 mansabdars during Akbar’s reign which frequently went on increasing and was one of the main cause for the degradation of the mughal empire.
It was basically decentralization of the army but finally all the mansabdars were answerable to emperor
JAGIRDARI referred to the divison of the empire into number of small areas called jagirs and the the person responsible for maintainance of the financial system of the area was called JAGIRDAR. His work was to collect revenue from his area as decided by the financial head of the state depending on the conditions of the area and hand over the collection to the central empire.
basically the posts of jagirdar and mansabdar varied only in the sense that one was responsible for military management and the other was concerned with the revenue collection .Basically we can also say that mansabdars were also very much like jagirdars except that they used the revenue for the military developments.
