To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Emperor, the High Diwan, and even /'the subahdar may have been just and kind in their treatment of the peasantry. But the lower official or revenue underling was the man on the spot, the person in direct relations with the ryots and therefore his harshness and greed affected the ryots far more effectively than the far-off Emperor's or Chancellor's kind intentions and 1 12 MUGHAL ADMINISTRATION. benevolent proclamations. This fact was well- known in the 1 7th century. The great and good Diwa...n-i-ala, Sadullah Khan, used to remark that a diwan who did not do justice to the ryots was a demon sitting with a pen and inkpot before him. The propriety of this epigram will become clear when I tell you that in the Persian alphabet a is a long vertical line with a sharp downward point like an Indian reed-pen, while the letter n is formed by a circle open at the top, just like an indigenous inkpot. The word diw means 'an evil spirit ;* and hence diwan can be analysed into diw followed by a or a pen and n or an inkpot !
