Answers
● The statement that Jahangir discontinued the administrative system that was introduced by his father was false.
● Emperor Jahangir is the successor of Emperor Akbar who completely followed the the administrative systems of his father.
● Jahangir ruled the country for 22 years and was just called a ruler who was not that efficient.
Jahangir did not discontinue the administration system introduced by his father, but rather modified it.
Hence it is a false statement.
Explanation:
Akbar is the father of Jahangir. He introduced a sound administration system. The administration system introduced by Akbar is called Mansabdari system. Because of this system Akbar was able to maintain a strong army and organise his nobles.
According to the mansabdari system each officer is given a rank called mansab. They were paid salaries according to their mansab, higher the mansab higher is the salary. Due to the financial strain on the empire Jahangir tried to reduce the salaries and hence modified the mansabdari system in which a mansabdar had to maintain and was paid for double the quota of troopers indicated by his rank.
