The Mughal Empire's hierarchy was a complex structure pivotal to its governance and cultural prosperity. At its apex was the Mughal Emperor, followed by a cadre of nobles, military leaders, and civil officials. The Mansabdari system played a crucial role in organizing military forces and administrative officials, influencing the empire's military effectiveness and societal order. This system, along with other administrative practices, has left a lasting legacy on Indian governance.
