Answer 1

Answer:

Akbar maintained 1,803 Mansabdars, by the end of the reign of Aurangzeb, their number rose to 14,499.  

In Akbar’s reign, there were 29 mansabdars with a rank of 5,000 zat; by Aurangzeb’s reign the number of mansabdars with a zat of 5000 had increased to 79.  

The increase of the number of Mansabdars during the reign of Aurangzeb led to the Jagirdari and agrarian crisis which led to the collapse of the Mansabdari system.

Explanation:

The fall of Manasabdari System:

In Akbar’s reign, the system worked near perfect. The revenue collected by the Mansabdar from his jagirs (and transferred to the Emperor) was enough to pay his assigned salary as well.

These jagirs, in the initial days, were carefully assessed so that their revenues were roughly equal to the salary of the mansabdar.

However, in the later stage, there was a shortage of jagirs. Also the size of the jagirs started to shrink.

In the Aurengazeb era, the revenue collected by Mansabdars for the government was not enough to pay the salary assigned to them.

The mansabdari system worked fine till the death of Akbar. Under this system, the mansabdars maintained a fixed number of soldiers in return for which they got jagirs. However, after Akbar’s death, the number of mansabdars grew but not enough jagirs were available. This resulted in the infestation of corruption in the system. The mansabdars often did not maintain the required number of soldiers which further weakened the Mughal army.

In addition, the Mughal army did not change with the changing times. The Mughal rulers did not try to reform, modernise or strengthen the army and it continued to use old equipment and techniques of warfare. Unlike the Europeans, the Mughals did not have a navy and did not make any efforts to develop one.
