THE REIGN OF AKBAR (1556-1605) 85 all over the country were assessed on the basis of the high prices necessarily prevailing in a large camp crowded with animals; but, witnout carrying the analysis further, it may fairly be said that these uniform rates, and this over-assess- ment of pulses, were sufficient by themselves to render the assessments unworkable. [n the roth year there was the beginning of a progressive change, in that the staple crops were valued at local prices, a practice which naturally reduced the overcharge on the pulses. The evidence of this change is found in the appear- ance of maximum and minimum rates in place of a single figure. In Awadh, for instance, a region lying at some dis- tance from the capital, wheat, having been charged go dams in the gth year, was charged 52 to 60 dams in the roth, and gram, which had been 80 dams, was charged 40 to 56. [t is of course impossible that a local assessing officer should have been allowed an option to assess at 40, or at 56; the only reasonable explanation is that these are local rates applicable to different parts of the province, and since the grain-Demand was still uniform, the differences in charge can be attributed only to differences in price. Assuming that the local prices were correctly fixed, this measure would operate to mitigate the worst evils which had come to light, but there still remained the fundamental defect of a uniform grain-charge over a wide region of varying productivity, a defect which must have been felt increasingly as. the area of the administration extended. The cash-rates from the roth to the 14th year show no general tendency beyond a gradual increase in this local differentiation, but from a passage in the Akbarniama (11. 333), we learn that they ceased to be used in assessing the Reserved land. In the 13th year it was found that Muzaffar Khan, the Minister who was in charge of both general and revenue administration, was overworked, and he was relieved of the charge of the Reserved land, which was entrusted to Shihabuddin Ahmad Khan. This officer discontinued the detailed annual assessment, and in its place established a nasag, a term which, as is explained in Appendix D, I interpret as Group-assessment (or possibly Farming), of a village, or a pargana, as a whole The
