Akbar was a great Mughal king known for his large army and kingdom. He implemented several reforms that are still used today, including establishing a system to rank soldiers based on their position and pay them a fixed salary accordingly (the Mansabdari system). He divided his empire into 15 provinces, similar to modern India's 28 states. Akbar also pursued a policy of religious tolerance, focusing on peace between all faiths. Many of his administrative innovations, such as having governors oversee each province and prime ministers oversee different responsibilities, remain relevant models in India today.

Good morning everyone my name is Adwiti Hinger and
today I am going to tell you the reforms of Akbar that we use today. What does reform mean, well reform means to put or change in an improved form. Do you know who was Akbar, Akbar was the great Mughal king. He was known for his great army and kingdom. His first reform was The Mansabdari system. Mansabdari system was a system that ranked or defined the position of the solider which were known as the Mansabdar. They had a fix salary according to their ranks. They were appointed by the Mughal ruler. Well today also we use the same system. We have different rank for solider and they have different salary for different rank. Akbar divided his empire into fifteen provinces. In today’s India we have 28 states which is similar to Akbar’s time. In Akbar’s time, each province was under the charge of Subedar which means governor and they were accompanied by diwans who collected or supervised the land revenue. Even today we have governor for each state and different people who are appointed for different work. Akbar's religious policy was not to discriminating between various religions and it was focusing more on religious tolerance and peace ideas. Akbar decided to form a new religion made from ideas by different kings, this idea was derived from various religions called Sulh-i-Kul which means universal peace. This idea gave inlightment to many people and now universal peace means a lots to us. Akbar had nine jewels which were called as navaratnas in his court. They were appointed to take care of different things. Even today we have one Prime ministers which are accompanied by many ministers who have different responsibilities. Akbar respected Rajput’s for their bravery and courage though he defeated them, he never ashamed them instead he used to appoint them at a high post in his kingdom. We are following the same policy, in India we have different religions and caste but still we live as family and are known as Indians all together. Akbar has influenced India a lot he thought us about universal peace, giving equal rights to all the people and different ways of administration and many more. He was a very courageous and kind king. Almost all of his policies and administration are relevant in today’s world. - Adwiti Hinger VII A Crossroads International School
