During the Mughal administration, the empire was divided into large provinces known as Subas. Each Suba was further divided into Sarkars, which were administrative districts. The Sarkars, in turn, were divided into smaller units called Parganas. Therefore, Pargana is the smallest unit, followed by Sarkar, and then Suba is the largest. This hierarchical division reflects the administrative structure designed for revenue collection and governance.
