Delhi sultanate - impact on its society?

Hindu Caste system - Impact on it's society?

Mughal India - impact on its society?

Answer: Delhi Sultanate was the first Muslim State of India.

The Delhi Sultanate was founded in 1206, during the decline of the Persian-born Gurgid dynasty that had conquered the region in northern India. In the wake of the collapse of this empire, the Cumano-Kipchaq Mamluk Qutb-ud-din Aibak, former slave of the last King Gurida, established his kingdom centered in the city of Delhi, from where the sultanate bears the name.

The division of society into caste is determined from heredity. The castes are defined according to the social position that certain Hindu families occupy. Factor that establishes a type of social "hierarchy" marked by privileges and duties.

People who were not part of any of the castes were called outcasts or untouchables. Excluded people who were tasked with doing the most deplorable work, those rejected by individuals in any of the castes.

This system has as its main feature social segregation, determining the role of people within Indian society.

Such segregation results in social inequality, which is explained by the fact that an individual cannot ascend to a higher caste.

The Mughal Empire dominated most of northern India from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. The Mughal rulers practiced the Muslim religion, but most of the population they governed practiced Hinduism. Even so, the Mughals succeeded in their domain. They worked to bring Muslims closer to Hindus in a united India.
