Abstract
Without any shadow of doubts, it can be alleged that the establishment of Delhi sultanate that started in the thirteenth century and its continued existence until the beginning of sixteenth century was a period of continuous series of political, economic and social changes and gradual developments throughout the Indian sub-continent. The presence of sultanate was the journey of encounter of the two diverse life styles, one being predominantly sedentary-agrarian indigenous population while the other central Asian pastoral-nomadic. In the present article, an attempt has been made to unwind convoluted threads of economic and social interaction as a result of coming together of the two separate backgrounds.
