BEk aspah duh aspah
CNumerical ranks
DKhud kasht ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Khud kasht — The answer is Khud kasht.
Explanation
★The answer is Khud kasht.
★Khudkasht refers to a class of peasants who owned and cultivated their own land through family labour.
★It is a term of the agrarian system, not the Mansabdari system.
★The Mansabdari system introduced by Akbar had numerical ranks of Zat and Sawar.
★The categories Ek aspah, Duh aspah and Sih aspah related to the number of horses a mansabdar kept.
★Zabt, the law of escheat, was central to the service conditions of the Mughal nobility, so Khud kasht is the odd one out.
