Expert Answer
The term ‘mansab’ means an office or rank, and a person who occupied this office or held the rank came to be known as a ‘mansabdar’. A mansabdar maintained horsemen or soldiers depending on his rank in the court. Some of the important features of this system were
- An official in the royal service was given a rank or a mansab depending on the nature of his work. While a mansabdar of a lower level could maintain up to ten horsemen, the mansabdar of the highest level could keep seven thousand horsemen.
- The mansabdars were appointed by the king. The king had the power to promote or dismiss them.
- The king paid his mansabdars in the form of jagirs. The revenue collected from the jagir could be used to pay the horsemen.
- Mansabdars had the right to collect only a fixed amount of revenues from their jagirs and had no power to administer them.
