All high offices of the state were kept reserved for them; they received extensive jagirs in return for their services; and, they wielded great influence in society and administration. But foreign Muslims were also not united. They belonged to different nationalities such as the Persians, the Afghans, the Arabs, the Turks, the Abyssianians, etc.
The Turks claimed and maintained their superiority over all others up to the thirteenth century. When the Khaljis captured the power of the state, superior position of the Turks was broken up. Thereafter the changed political circumstances and inter-marriages between different sections of foreign Muslims brought them all on par with each other.
The next section was that of the Indian Muslims. They were those Hindus who were either converted to Islam themselves or were descendants of converted Muslims. The foreign Muslims despised Indian Muslims because most of them were converted to Islam from among low-caste Hindus.
The foreign Muslims regarded them neither of blue blood nor conquerors of this country. Therefore, Indian Muslims were not given equal status with foreign Muslims either in society or in administration.
During the entire period of the Sultanate only some Indian Muslims could get high offices of the state. Of course, there was some improvement in their status from the beginning of the fourteenth century, yet they could never claim equality with foreign Muslims.
The caste-system of the Hindus affected the Muslims also particularly Indian Muslims. They continued to maintain divisions among themselves on the basis of their previous castes. Thus, both the foreign and Indian Muslims were divided among themselves on the basis of their different nationalities and birth.
