Answer 2

Aurangzeb considered the crisis of Jaigirs of the Mughal Empire as artificial one.

Characteristics of jaigirs:

• A jagir was theoretically a feudal life estate because, upon the death of the jagirdar, the grant was returned to the state.
• But in reality, the male lineal heir of the jagirdar came to inherit jagirs.
• Consequently, during the period of Islamic authority and later in the regions of India that came under Afghan, Sikh, and Rajput domination, the family served as the de facto ruler of the region, earning income from a portion of the tax revenues and delivering the remaining funds to the state treasury.
• The jagirdar appointed administrative levels in addition to himself in order to collect taxes.
