The '''Mansabdar''' | 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). | In the mansabdari system founded by Akbar, the mansabdars were military commanders, high civil and military officers, and provincial governors.
