What does SUBAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A province or major administrative division of the Mughal Empire, governed by an official called a subahdar.
Mughal emperors divided their territory into several subah units, each large enough to require its own governor and administrative staff. A subah typically covered a wide region, similar in scale to a modern province, and was further split into smaller districts for local administration. Historians studying Mughal India still use subah to describe this level of government when discussing revenue collection and regional rule. The related title subahdar names the governor who administered a subah on behalf of the emperor.
