The ______ was a territorial assignment given to administrative officers and nobles in lieu of the services they performed for the
state during Delhi sultanate.
Usharaf
Iqta
Muahatsib
Nazir
Let’s break down the options:
- Option 1: Usharaf
- This isn’t related to land grants. Usharaf generally means nobles, often used as a title or class designation, not about territories.
- Option 2: Iqta
- *This is the correct answer.*
- Iqta was a land assignment given to officials or nobles during the Delhi Sultanate.
- In exchange for their services, they collected revenue from these lands.
- Option 3: Muahatsib
- This term refers to an official responsible for market regulation and moral policing.
- Not territorial assignments—completely different duty.
- Option 4: Nazir
- Nazir usually means supervisor or administrator, especially in financial contexts.
- Not a land grant or territorial title at all.
What this really means is: if someone got a chunk of land to control in return for running things for the sultan, it was called an Iqta. The rest just don’t fit.
