Question

write a note on Marsabdar and dog Jagir ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Mansabdar was a military unit within the administrative system of the Mughal Empire introduced by Akbar. The word mansab is of Arabic origin meaning rank or position. The system determined the rank and status of a government official and military generals. Every civil and military officer was given a mansab, which determined their salaries & allowances. The term manasabadar means a person having a mansab. (which means a role) In the mansabdari system founded by Akbar, the mansabdars were military commanders, high civil and military officers, and provincial governors. Those mansabdars whose rank was one thousand or below were called Amir, while those above 1,000 were called Amir-al Kabir (Great Amir). Some great Amirs whose ranks were above 5,000 were also given the title of Amir-al Umara

(Amir of Amirs).

Answer 2

Mansabdars received their salaries as revenue assignments called jagirs. Jagirs were the land which were given to the Mansabdars to collect revenue. The revenue from the jagir was collected by the servants of Mansabdars. These jagirs were strictly checked in Akbar’s region so that the revenue is equal to the salary of mansabdars.

Hope the answer was a help to you.
