diffrence between mansabdars and jagirdas? in class 7 from the chapter the mughal empire
Answers
Explanation:
All the officers of mughal empire were mansabdars after introduction of mansabdari system. Mansabdars were needed to perform their official duties along with maintaining a minimum amount of troops which varied from person to person.
Mansabdars were either paid their salary or alloted a jagir to collect revenue. The revenue collected was salary of that mansabdar. Hence mansabdars having jagir alloted to them by mughal crown as salary were jagirdars.
Rajput kings were allocated their kingdoms as watan jagirs. Hence they remained kings of their kingdoms maintaining law and order as their duties and collecting revenue as their salary.
Zamindars collected revenue from crown lands i.e. Khalisa lands. Zamindars paid the collected revenue to mughal exchequer after deducting their salary.
Unlike British period, Zamindars did not had proprietary rights over lands. According to French traveller Francois Bernier there was no private ownership of land in mughal India.
