Answers
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.
