  achievement of Todar Mal was his famous revenue settlement of the
  empire which has since remained the foundation of Indian land revenue
  policy.
  Under his instructions the revenue accounts were kept in the Persian
  language and script. The Hindus had thus to learn Persian and this enabled
  them to qualify themselves for higher government service. Great as a
  financier and solider Todar Mal was equally noted for his honesty. Abul
  Fazl speaks of him in terms of unreserved praise. There is no doubt that he
  was one of the ablest and most upright of Akbar’s officers.

Reforms Prince Salim assumed the title of Jahangir (World Conqueror) and
adhered to Akbar’s ideals of the coexistence of all religious communities. He
remitted some local taxes on trade and the manufacturing of goods. He also

  appointed khan-i-saman. In 1612 Asaf Khan’s daughter, Arjumand Banu
  Begum (later entitled Mumtaz Mahal), married Jahangir’s third son, prince
  Khurram. Coins were even struck in her name, but it was not until 1622
  that Jahangir’s rapidly declining  health reduced him to a figure-head and
