Q. The "Du-aspa Sih-aspa" system, which allowed a commander to maintain a larger number of horses without increasing his numerical (Zat) rank, was first introduced by:
Answer: Jahangir
Notes: Jahangir introduced the "Du-aspa Sih-aspa" system to the Mansabdari system to reward loyalists. This modification allowed a Mansabdar's Sawar rank to enable maintaining double (Du-aspa) or triple (Sih-aspa) the number of horses or cavalrymen usually required by his rank. It effectively increased military strength and pay without a formal rank promotion.
