Question

who are amirs? in 10 to 20 words​

Answer 1

Administering a kingdom or a state requires officials

and their staff. During the Mughal period the

officials who looked after the administration of the

empire were known as mansabdars (manasabadar).

Mansabdar means holder of a rank – the emperor

assigned a rank to each of his officials. The Mughal

empire had thousands of high and low

mansabdars. They executed the orders of the

emperor. They maintained accounts of tax

collected. If anyone rebelled against the

authority of the emperor, it was the

mansabdars who suppressed the revolt. They

protected the empire and extended the rule of the

Mughals to new areas. Of the thousands of

mansabdars, around 500 or so were high officials

or nobles called amirs.
