Position of the Hindus

Solution
The Hindus formed the vast majority of the population. In spite of their disabilities, there were many well-to-do persons among them. The Chaudharies and prominent businessmen were mostly Hindus. Deliberate humiliation, destruction of temples and occasional persecution of Brahmins made them angry and pessimistic at times. But a few Turkish rulers knew that unless Hindus cooperated with them, Muslim soldiery and nobility could not be sustained.
