Answer

The Mughal empire in the seventeenth century and after:
  • The administrative and military efficiency of the Mughal Empire led to great economic and commercial prosperity.
  • International travellers described it as the fabled land of wealth.
  • These visitors were also surprised at the state of extreme poverty that existed side by side.
  • The inequalities were glaring.
  • Documents from the twentieth year of Shah Jahan’s reign say that only 445 mansabdars were in number out of a total of 8,000.
  • A mere 5.6 per cent of the total number of mansabdars, received 61.5 per cent of the total estimated revenue of the empire as salaries for themselves and their troopers.
