Why was it important for the Mughals to recruit mansabdars from diverse backgrounds and not just Turanis and Iranis?
The two most important reasons are as follows:
- Mughals didn't want turtanis and iranis to come together and rebel against the emperor.
- Mughals also wanted to include the subcontinental people of warrior classes to participated in the running of the mansabdri system. Hence, mughals enrolled mansabdars from not only turanis and iranis classes but also from rajputs, sikha, Marathas, dessanis, afghanis and Indian muslims too.
