Describe the policies of Akbar.
✓
Answer
Policies of Akbar:
Akbar laid down broad features of administration.
They were elaborately discussed by Abul Fazl in his last volume of Akbar Nama, the Ain-i Akbari.
Abul Fail explained that the empire was divided into provinces called subas.
The subas were governed by a subadar.
The subadar carried out both political and military functions.
Each province also had a financial officer or diwan.
For the maintenance of peace, law and order in his province, the subadar was supported by other officers like the military paymaster (bakhshi), the minister in charge of religious and charitable patronage (sadr), military commanders (faujdars) and the town police commander (kotwal).
