Explanation:
The role of the zamindar in Mughal administration was to collect the revenues and taxes from the peasants that were a source of income for the Mughals. They acted as an intermediate between the Mughals and the peasants and in some areas the zamindars exercised a great deal of power.
Answer:
Emperor Aurangzeb of India's Mughal Dynasty (November 3, 1618–March 3, 1707) was a ruthless leader who, despite his willingness to take the throne over the bodies of his brothers, went on to create a "golden age" of Indian civilization. An orthodox Sunni Muslim, he reinstated taxes and laws penalizing Hindus and imposing Sharia law. At the same time, however, he greatly expanded the Mughal empire and was described by his contemporaries as being disciplined, pious, and intelligent.
Central administration
The administration of Aurangzeb’s was completely in his hands . Aurangzeb looked into the minutest details of administration, he read the petitions submitted to him and either wrote orders with his own hand or dictated them. All his officers and ministers of Administration were kept under his strict control and were never allowed to share with him the initiation or formation of policy. This was because Aurangzeb would not tolerate a rival authority in the state.
There was over-centralization of the administration. The ministers of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb were reduced to the status of mere clerks and were given sincere responsibilities. This resulted in great administrative degeneration and helplessness. Thus, though the framework of the administration remained the same as under his predecessors, a vast change occurred in the manner and the spirit in which the institutions were worked.
