Option C: Sultans like Ala-ud-Din Khilji introduced the practice of ‘Dag’ (branding of horses) and ‘huliya’ (descriptive rolls of soldiers). This was not a military system in itself.
Learning: The word mansab means rank or position. The system, hence, determined the rank of a government official.Every civil and military officer was given a ‘mansab’ and different numbers which could be divided by ten were used for ranking officers. It was also meant for fixing the salaries and allowances of officers.A mansabdar could be asked to perform any civil or military service.
