What to Focus On

  • The aristocracy included nobles and high officials.
  • Ulemas and Hindu priests advised the Sultan on religious and administrative matters.
  • The Sultan had absolute authority over the state.
  • The government was militaristic and feudal in nature.
  • Wazir headed Diwan-i-wazarat, the revenue department.
  • The Iqta system granted revenue from land or a village instead of a cash salary.
  • The officer in charge was called an iqtadar.
  • The iqtadar collected revenue, maintained soldiers, and kept accounts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
