Question

What is the differnce between jagir dar mansabdar subedar?

Answer 1

Answer:

Akbar was the architect of the Mansabdari system, an institution of political and economic significance that played a critical role in the consolidation and disin­tegration of the Mughal Empire.

We also notice an evolution in the beginning and the growth of this institution. The word Mansab means a place, a position, an honour and a rank, which happened to be an integral part of the elaborate Mughal bureaucracy.

Percival Spear rightly points out that this Mansabdari system was elite within an elite.
