Question Asked : UPPCS (Pre) 1992
It was essential to have well-organised army for expansion of empire and maintenance of peace and order, Akbar reformed many loopholes of a military system for this purpose. He revived the practice of Chehra (descriptive image of each soldier maintained) and Dagh (branding of horses) in 1573. After two years of this action, he organised soldiers by Mansabdari system in 1575. In its broadest aspect, the Mansab means rank or position. Mansabdar means the official who had a rank or designation in the royal army. This was based on the decimal system.
