What was the difference between Mansabdars and Iktadars?
Answers
Answer:
Akbar introduced the mansabdari system.The term mansab means rank.The person who held such a rank is known as Mansabdar.The iqta system was a unique bend of consolidation & expansion.Iqta is an arabic word which means an administrative regional unit.The Delhi sultans divided there empire into many iqtas and they were supervised by the officers called Iqtadars
Actually,there's not much difference between them. mansabdars used to maintain lands like iqtadars,they also used to pay 1/3rd of their revenue to the emperor. the only difference I found is mansabdar used to follow a term called 'savar' which meant maintaining horse's cavalry.
