The principal facts which Abulfazl's list of Grandees discloses are, first, that there were very few Hindústání Musulmáns in the higher ranks of the army and the civil service, most of the officers being foreigners, especially Persians and Afgháns; secondly, that there was a very fair sprinkling of Hindú Amírs, as among the 415 Mançabdárs there are 51 Hindús.

The Mançabdárs who had fallen into disgrace, or had rebelled, have mostly been excluded. Thus we miss the names of Mír Sháh Abul Ma'álí; Khwájah Mu'azzam, brother of Akbar's mother; Bábá Khán Qáqshál; Ma'çúm i Kábulí (p. 431, note); 'Arab Bahádur; Jabárí, &c. But there are also several left out, as Khizr Khwájah (p. 365, note 2), Sulṭán Husain Jaláir (vide under No. 64), Kamál Khán the Gak'khar (vide p. 456), Mír Gesú (p. 421), Naurang Khán, son of Quṭbuddín Khán (p. 334), Mírzá Qulí (p. 385), Rájah A´skaran (p. 458), and others, for whose omission it is difficult to assign reasons.
