In this chapter, we embark on a captivating journey
through the intricate fabric of societies, delving into
the dynamics of tribes, nomads, and settled

In many subcontinent areas, society was already
divided into different groups based on rules set by
the Brahmanas. These rules were followed by rulers
of big kingdoms. This made the gap between rich
and poor, and high and low social classes, even
bigger. This divide continued to grow during the
Delhi Sultans and the Mughal periods.
