Description
After the conquest of Delhi, Babur was left with the task of deciding how to administer his realm. Rather than keeping the Afghani structure that had kept the Sultan weak during the Lodi period, Babur looked to economic structure of Persia and adopted the Mansabdari system. Under the system, the Mughal emperor generated land revenues by granting land to mansabdars who would pledge to provide the emperor with a set number of troops proportional to the quantity of land they were given. As the bequests were both revocable and non-hereditary, the system provided the emperor great control over the mansabdars. Of course, its onset, the reformed system angered landed nobles.Actions

While Bairam Khan ruled as regent for Akbar, the young King dreamed of a great Empire in India. From the early years of his reign he was motivated by love of territory, power, and wealth. Recognizing the importance of subjecting his neighbors to accomplish his goals, Akbar said, 'A monarch should be ever intent on conquest, otherwise his neighbors rise in arms against him. The army should always be excerised in warfare, lest for want of practice they become self-indulgent.' His reign was to prove to be a great period of expansion for the Mughals.Actions

Adham took grotesque liberties with the population of the province, raping many of the former ruler's harem and slaughtering the least attractive ones. Enraged by the audacity of his servant, Akbar rode out to Malwa to personally take control of the territory. When Adham barged into Akbar's harem and attempted to kill a noble appointed position equivalent to that of Prime Minister, Akbar ordered Adham to be thrown from the ramparts of the fort of Agra.
