LIFE OF NOMADS
Nomadic pastoralists moved long distances with their
animals . They lived on milk and other pastoral
products .
They exchanged wool, ghee, etc., with settled
agriculturists for grain, cloth, utensils and other
products . Theybought and sold these goods as they
moved from one place to another, transporting them
on their animals.
Banjaras were the most important trader nomads.
Sultan Alauddin Khalji used the Banjaras to transport
grain to the city markets.
New Castes and Hierarchies
As the economy and the needs of society grew,people
with new skills were required.Smaller castes, or jatis,
emerged within varnas. New castes appeared amongst
the Brahmanas .
Many tribes and social groups were taken into caste-
based society and given the status of jatis.
Specialised artisans (smiths, carpenters and masons)
were recognised as separate jatis by the Brahmanas.
Importance of jatis in the Society
Jatis, rather than varna, became the basis for
organising society .
Among the Kshatriyas, new Rajput clans became
powerful by the 11th and 12th centuries .
They belonged to different lineages, such as Hunas,
Chandelas, Chalukyas and others.
Many of these clans regarded as Rajputs. They
gradually replaced the older rulers, especially in
agricultural areas ,
With the support of the Brahmanas, many tribes
became part of the caste system

Nomadic pastoralists lived on milk and exchanged goods with settled agriculturists. New castes and hierarchies emerged as society evolved, with jatis becoming the basis for organizing communities.
