The Ain-i Akbari was the culmination of a large historical, administrative project of classification undertaken by Abu’l Fazl at the order of Emperor Akbar. It was completed in 1598, the forty-second regnal year of the emperor, after having gone through five revisions. The Ain was part of a larger project of history writing commissioned by Akbar.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Statement A- The Ain is a mine of information about the Mughal Empire during Akbar’s reign.
Statement B- The Ain is made up of five daftars, of which the first two books describe the administration.

Only Statement A is correct.

The correct answer is Option 1 - Only Statement A is correct.

Correct version of Statement B- The Ain is made up of five daftars, of which the first Three books describe the administration.

The Ain is a mine of information for us about the Mughal Empire during Akbar’s reign (STATEMENT A). It is important, however, to keep in mind that this is a view of the regions from the centre, a view of society from its apex. The Ain is made up of five books (daftars), of which the FIRST THREE BOOKS DESCRIBE THE ADMINISTARTION (Statement B). The first book, called manzil-abadi, concerns the imperial household and its maintenance. The second book, sipah-abadi, covers the military and civil administration and the establishment of servants. This book includes notices and short biographical sketches of imperial officials (mansabdars), learned men, poets and artists.
