In any era, important symbols of society include social organization, food, place of residence, arts, skills, knowledge, and science, women's place in society, and means of entertainment. These castes merged Indian culture and civilization after permanently settling here. However, Turks arrived in India in the 10th century, and after that, Hindu culture and Muslim culture separated Indian society. We will conduct an in-depth analysis of Indian society between the 16th and 17th centuries in the presented article. Religion was used to categorize Indian society; approximately 75% of the population was Hindu, and 25% was Muslim1. Villages in Mughal society were much smaller than they are today. The society was divided by caste in addition to religion. Brahmins occupied the highest position among Hindus. With the exception of the four primary varnas, the society was divided into numerous lower and upper castes. After the Brahmins, there was a place where Banias used to shop, conduct business, and so on. After this, there were more castes, including potters, blacksmiths, chamars, and so on. The Parsi texts of the time tell us the following about the society: Brahmins were at the top of the social hierarchy; they lived in temples and had marriages and other religious rituals performed there. Each caste had its own set of rules and regulations that had to be followed by everyone in the caste and had its own caste panchayat, where disagreements between castes were resolved. Numerous sources provide us with data regarding the rural population's residence. Many European tourists claimed that the common people lived in huts. Additionally, the careful people, according to Pelsart, lived in houses with earthen roofs and no windows or chimneys. The majority of people lived in huts, the floors of which were plastered with a mixture of cow dung, so they didn't have to make the houses crazy. The Rajputs and Banias lived in large, well-ventilated, and window-equipped homes made of burned bricks. Caste and religion were the foundations of society in the 16th and 17th centuries. Horse racing games like chariot and bullock races, wrestling, and others games were also available.
