| The fertile plains of Uttar Pradesh offered an ideal habitat for the early Muslim settlers who came in the wake of the establishment of Turkish rule in India. The hostility was confined mainly within the ruling classes - The Rajas, Rawats, Rais and the original village echelons and the muqtis and their subordinates. Muslim concentration in towns was primarily due to their socio-political organizations, their exclusive racial and religious complexion. Muslims have always had an influential upper class consisting of Nawabs, Rajas and Chaudhries because of their historical antecedents.The middle class, comparatively thin among Muslims, is engaged in the traditional trades like leather. Commerce and trade was not a Muslim forte. Muslims have overwhelmingly large lower class, appallingly poor, ignorant, conservative and hide-bound. It consists of artisans, petty traders, weavers, carpet makers, labourers, butchers, kite-makers, vegetable-settlers and the like. |
