sher shah suri communication system
Answers
Answer:
Sher Shah Suri was a great reformer and administrator. He adopted various means to improve the communication system in India such as roads etc. He appointed his trustworthy persons as in charge. Sher Shah effectively improved the postal system through swift horses. He ordered to construct the Grant Trunk Road from Attock to Sonargaon (East Bengal), which became the Eastern terminus. Sher Shah also shortened the route between Agra to Delhi by cutting a new road through the fores, formerly travelers travelled to Delhi by the road ran through the 'Doab'.
Sher Shah constructed 1700 'Sarais' (inn) along with the roads at a distance of every 4 miles for the maintenance of peace and for the rest of homeless travelers. In every sarai, separate lodgings were provided for Muslims and Hindus. Markets were established near every sarai for sale and purchase. Every sarai has two horses for transmitting news of far and near to the center. All the sarais possessed 3400 horses for the said purpose. Sher Shah appointed 'Shiqdar' in each 'Parganah'. This system functioned so well that Sher Shah got the news of disaffection of his 'Umrah', soldiers and Zamindars of distant provinces before they spread in the area concerned. Additionally, there were two "Tariq Nawis" or post house clerks, who recorded the arrival and departure of mail carriers. Mails were carried by the "mewars" and messengers. Sher Shah's messengers brought news from Bengal to Punjab (1400 miles approximately) in less than a week. Sher Shah established a self-sustaining postal system. The entire postal system was under the supervision of "Darogh-a-Dak". A superintendent known as "Darogh-a-Dak Chowki" was appointed. He served as the director of the post house, receiving the administrative dispatches for the conveyance of the ruler. Sher Shah kept himself well informed about his servants' literal materialization through his spies.
