Explanation: The head of the military department was called the mir bakhshi. It was the mir bakhshi and not the diwan who was considered the head of the nobility. The mir bakhshi was also the head of the intelligence and information agencies or the empire. Intelligence officers (bards) and news reporters (waqia-navis) were posted to all parts of the empire. Their reports were presented to the emperor at the court through the mir bakhshi. It will thus be seen that the diwan and the mir bakhshi were almost on a par with, and supported and checked, each other.
