Which Mughal emperor instituted the policy of 'Du-aspa Sih-aspa' (two-horse or three-horse system) within the Mansabdari framework?
A. Akbar
B. Jahangir✓ Correct Answer
C. Shah Jahan
D. Aurangzeb
💡 Solution & Explanation
Mughal emperor Jahangir introduced the Du-aspa Sih-aspa modification into the Mansabdari system, allowing nobles to maintain extra troops without altering their designated zat rank. Other rulers like Akbar instituted the foundational mansabdari framework, while Shah Jahan later modified troop obligations based on regional do-aspa rules. This innovation permitted the emperor to augment military strength efficiently during Deccan campaigns.
