उत्तर
The society during the Sultanate period was divided into four main classes. The first or aristocratic class was the most influential class in society. This class consisted of the nobility and high officials. They were very rich and lived a luxurious life. The second important group was the Ulemas and the Hindu priests who advised the Sultan on how to carry on his administration in accordance with the sacred law. The third category of people or the town dwellers consisted of officials, merchants, and artisans who were fairly well-to-do. The common people or the peasantry who formed the bulk of the population were poor and did not have enough to satisfy their needs.
