Detailed Solution & Logic
Sher shah suri/ शेर शाह सूरी
Explanation
Sher Shah Suri’s administrative system became the model for Emperor Akbar’s consolidation of the Mughal Empire.

- He implemented key reforms like:
- Land revenue system (Zabt system)
- Standardized currency
- Improved roads (Grand Trunk Road)
- Efficient postal system
- His system emphasized good governance, revenue efficiency, and strong administration.
- Later, Emperor Akbar adopted and improved many of these administrative features in the Mughal Empire.
- शेर शाह सूरी ने अपने शासन (1540–1545) में एक संगठित और प्रभावी प्रशासनिक व्यवस्था स्थापित की।
- उन्होंने कई महत्वपूर्ण सुधार किए:
- भूमि राजस्व प्रणाली (जमाबंदी/ज़ब्त प्रणाली)
- मानकीकृत मुद्रा
- सड़कों का विकास (ग्रांड ट्रंक रोड)
- सुदृढ़ डाक व्यवस्था
- उनकी प्रशासनिक व्यवस्था सुशासन, कुशल कर व्यवस्था और मजबूत शासन पर आधारित थी।
- बाद में अकबर ने इन्हीं व्यवस्थाओं को अपनाकर और सुधार कर अपने साम्राज्य को मजबूत बनाया।
