pargana
A pargana (Hindi: , ), also spelt 'pergunnah' during the time of the British Raj,〔("A Catalogue of Manuscript and Printed Reports, Field Books, Memoirs, Maps ..." Vol. iv, "Containing the treaties, etc., relating to the states within the Bombay presidency" )〕 is a former administrative unit of the Indian subcontinent, used primarily, but not exclusively, by the Muslim kingdoms.
''Parganas'' were introduced by the Delhi Sultanate, and the word is of Persian origin. As a revenue unit, a pargana consists of several ''mouzas'', which are the smallest revenue units, consisting of one or more villages and the surrounding countryside. Larger subdivisions of parganas were called tarafs (quarters, districts).
Under the reign of Sher Shah Suri, administration of parganas was strengthened by the addition of other officers, including a ''shiqdar'' (police chief), an ''amin'' or ''munsif'' (an arbitrator who assessed and collected revenue) and a ''karkun'' (record keeper).
==Mughal era==
In the 16th century the Mughal emperor Akbar organised the empire into ''subahs'', which were further subdivided into sarkars, roughly the equivalent of districts, which were themselves organised into ''parganas''. In the Mughal system, ''parganas'' served as the local administrative units of a ''sarkar''. Individual parganas observed common customs regarding land rights and responsibilities, which were known as the ''pargana dastur'', and each pargana had its own customs regarding rent, fees, wages, and weights and measures, known as the ''pargana nirikh''.
