History
During his rule over the Mughal Empire of India, Akbar the Great brought the whole of his military organization under a new system of administration called the mansabdari. The title was taken from the term “mansab,” which means rank. Officers in the Mughal army were given a mansab and then expected to be servants of the state, with their dismissal or suspension resting directly in the hands of the emperor. There were thirty-three grades of mansabdars, differentiated by the Zat and the Sawar. The Zat referred to the number of troops that the mansabdar maintained, while the Sawar referred to the number of horses that he maintained. The number of soldiers under a man’s command could start at ten and rise into the ten thousands. Of course, the highest rank that any common officer could hold only offered a command of 5,000 men. Larger forces were always first allotted to royal princes. Yet, after the death of Akbar at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the grades were increased. Common officers could reach the mansabdar grade corresponding to a command of over 20,000 men. The Rajput was a primarily Hindu warrior caste located in the northwestern region of India once known as Rajputana, now Rajasthan. Taking great pride in their ancestry and its emphasis on military virtues, the Rajput grew in power until 1616, when all the major clans had no choice but to submit to the might of Akbar and his Mughal Empire. The Rajput warriors were known for using the unique and deadly pata, a sword-like weapon where the blade and the gauntlet were integrated into a single piece that was held by the wielder. Earlier iterations of the pata were said to have started at 10 inches in length, with later variations reaching a length of nearly 44 inches. This sturdy blade was effective at repelling armored cavalry, but could also be used in assaults against infantrymen, swung and slashed like a traditional sword. Supposedly, Emperor Akbar himself used the pata in battle, most notably during the siege of Gujarat in 1576.
