Akbar (Part-I)

During the reign of Akbar, for every ten cavalrymen, the Mansabdars had to maintain twenty horses. The main reason for this custom was that it was essential to give rest to the horses during the long journey and it was needed to replace horses during the war. Thus, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) both are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Zabti System was introduced for land revenue in the reign of Akbar which was based on schedules of Dastur-ul-Amal and Zabti Khasre for land survey and land revenue determination. Most of the area was based on this system.

Todarmal achieved fame in the field of land revenue. Akbar introduced the Duhsala or Zabti systern of land revenue collection in 1580 A.D. to consolidate Mughal empire. The founder of this system was Todarmal. That's why it is known as Todarmal settlement. Under thus system, the average produce of different crops, as well as the average prices prevailing over the last ten years, was calculated. One-third of the average produce was state Share (Maal), rest two-third share was left to the cultivators (Kharaj).

Dahsala was a land revenue system during Akhar's reign which was also known as Bandobast system.

Akbar appointed Raja Todarmal and Mujaffar Khan Turbati as finance minister for re-assessment of the land revenue system. He calculated the average produce of different croоря as well as average price prevailing over the last ten year from 1571 to 1580. One-third of that average was fixed as land revenue for state which was also called as "Dahsala System" Ain-i-Dahsala is known as Todarmal Bandobast."

The name of "Tansen' was Ram Tanu Pandey. "Tansen' was the title given to Ramtanu Pandey by the king of Gwalior Rewa, hence statement-I is wrong. Jahangir was married to the sister of Raja Man Singh of Amber (Amer), hence statement-II is also mcorrect. Raja Todarmal was head of the Revenue department not the commander-in-chief of Akbar's army. Hence only statement-III is correct. Abul Fazal wrote 'Ain-i-Akbari".

Raja Todarmal is honoured in Indian history for his land revenue reforms. Ain-i-Dahsala was introduced by Akbar. Raja Todarmal (Khwajashah Mansoor and Mujaffar khan Turbati also helped in this) was the main propounders of this system. That's why it is known as 'Todarmal Settlement'.

Akbar launched "Tauhid-4-Ilahi" or "Din-i-linh" in 1582. Din- i-Ilahi was a syncretic religion which intended to merge the best elements of all the religions of the community. Indeod, the prophet of this new sect was Abul Fazl. Among Hindus, only Birbal accepted Din-i-Ilahi. Raja Bhagawan Das and Man Singh bluntly refused to embrace Din-i-lahi.
