During the Shershah’s administration, the area of his administration limited to North India only, but at the present day, the area of administration is vast. It comprises the administration of 28 states including both north and south of India. The administration of Sher Shah was impartial and free from corruptive activities whereas, at present day, such an administration is not expected.

Secondly, if there was damage to crops during the movements of his troops, the government compensated the farmers. There was no impartiality in distributing the compensation, whereas at present if damages happened to the farmers, the compensations are distributed on corruptive lines.

Thirdly during Sher Shah’s administration, the tax system was just and uniform, whereas at present time it is not in a uniform system.

Fourthly Sher Shah was known for his impartial justice. Hence he had earned the title Sultan, the Just, His justice was impartial and free from corruption, whereas at present we never expect impartial justice and moreover to say that the judgments take a long time to be settled down.
