Akbar was not only a great conqueror but also an able, wise, and efficient administrator. He introduced various reforms in all the branches of administration but the most important reform introduced by him was the Mansabdari system. The Mansabadari system plays a key role in the consolidation of the Mughal Empire. As we know during the reign of Akbar much greater part of the Mughal Army consisted of mansabdars and their followers. So the excellence of the Mughal Army, thus, mainly depended upon the leaders selected under the Mansabdari system and the soliders enrolled and presented by them. According to Machlavelli, it is a nature Phenomena that every Human-being is selfish, wicked and egoistic and same was the case of these mansabdars. They even were selfish and tried to fulfill their desired ends by following the way of false muster. False muster was an evil from which the Mughal Army suffered very much. To check this, Akbar introduced the System of branding the horses in the state employ and of keeping descriptive rolls of troopers and their horses.
