- Priests: This group included the ulemas, maulvis, qazis and Brahmanas. The Ulemas were the chief advisors of the Sultans. The brahmanas were generally honored in the Hindu society. They both played an active role in the administration.
- Town Dwellers: It consists of officials, artisans, craftsmen, merchants, slaves, and domestic servants. Among these, the merchants were quite prosperous.
