Discussion
Consider the following statements about the Mansabdari system :
A. The term 'Mansabdar' referred to an individual who held a position.
B. It was a grading system used to fix rank, salary and military responsibilities.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: A
Both A and B are true.
The word mansab means a position or rank, so a mansabdar was an individual who held a mansab, which is statement A. Under the Mughals, especially from Akbar's reign, the mansab was a grading system used to fix three things: the holder's rank, his salary, and his military responsibilities, expressed through the zat and sawar numbers. That is statement B.
Since each statement is a correct description of the system, the options calling one or both false are wrong.
