What to Focus On

  • Society had four main classes: aristocracy, Ulemas and Hindu priests, town dwellers, and peasantry.
  • The aristocracy included nobles and high officials.
  • Ulemas and Hindu priests advised the Sultan on religious and administrative matters.

  • The Sultan had absolute authority over the state.
  • The government was militaristic and feudal in nature.
  • Wazir headed Diwan-i-wazarat, the revenue department.

  • The Iqta system granted revenue from land or a village instead of a cash salary.
  • The officer in charge was called an iqtadar.
  • The iqtadar collected revenue, maintained soldiers, and kept accounts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Qutub-ud-din Aibak built the Qutub Minar completely by himself.

Tanka was started by Alauddin Khalji because his silver coins are shown near the topic of trade.

Wazir and Ariz-i-Mamalik are the same official because both work under the Sultan.
