What was 'district' known as during the Mughal administration?

Uttarakhand P.C.S. (Pre) 2004

A. Ahar
B. Vishyas
C. Suba
D. Sarkar

Answer: Sarkar

Option d is the correct answer. The Mughal Empire was organized into "Subas," larger administrative divisions that were then subdivided into "Sarkars," representing districts. Each Sarkar comprised "Parganas" or sub-districts, and even smaller units called "Grams." Within a Sarkar, the key officials were the Faujdar, responsible for law enforcement, and the Amalguzar, overseeing land revenue collection. img-9.jpeg
