Answer:
ECONOMIC CONDITION
There was a great economic disparity among different social classes. The royal family, high officials and the traders were prosperous .
The people living in villages were poor. The temples were the centres of riches and hence, attracted a lot of invaders.
Feudal system was prevalent in north India. The kings granted land as rewards to officers who came to be known as Thakurs or Rais . They provided military assistance to the king at times of war
The feudal system led to the decline of many empires as the feudal lords gave only a small part of the land revenue to the king. This weakened the power of the kings. Moreover, many feudal lords, like Chauhans and Paramaras, became powerful and established independent empires.
SOCIAL CONDITION
The rigid caste system led to the division of Indian society.
The king, the feudal lords and the brahmins in high positions, enjoyed a life of luxury.
Land was cultivated mainly by shudras who were burdened by taxes and social discrimination.
The condition of women was quite miserable. They were deprived of education.
The evil practices of sati,child-marriage and polygamy contributed to the decline in the status of women.
The women of royal families committed Johar (immolating in the fire) to protect their honour, if their menfolk were defeated or killed in a battle.
