Compare the position of a nayaka and a mansabdar. |
|
Answer» The mansabdars of the Mughal empire should not act independently, but they should act as per the wishes of the emperor. Nayakas in the Vijayanagara empire could become inde¬pendent and powerful enough to challenge the authority of the king. Mughals pre¬vented this by constantly transferring the mansabdars from one place to another ev¬ery two or three years. Thus a mansabdar could not become settled and powerful in any one place. Both the nayakas and mansabdars received their salaries as revenue assignments. But unlike the nayakas most mansabdars did not actually reside in or administer their jagirs. They served in some other parts of the country. |
