Faujdar

Faujdari carried with it a fixed number of sawars and it was up to the faujdar to station soldiers in various thanas under him.

In these thanas the Thanadars were appointed directly by the central government via royal orders or at the recommendations of the Nizam or Diwan of the province.

Such thanadars were to a considerable degree independent officers who could receive orders direct from the central government.

They were probably placed under the overall supervision of the faijdar and were expected to cooperate with him in mainataing law and order.

[4] In any case in an emergency the faujdar of a charge could be called upon to enforce imperial regulations.
