The socio-economic conditions of people were equally depressing. The rules and regulations of caste hampered social mobility, fostered social divisions and snapped the individual identity. Muslims were discriminated not only on economic front but also the rulers interfered with their religious liberties. Numbers of Muslim religious places were turned into store houses for food grains and ammunition centers. Proprietary rights of land were confiscated. Newer unknown and unjustified taxes were imposed on subjects. Each and every appointed officer used to oppress the people as much as he can. Skilled workers in normal days were not in a position to take two time square meals. Whatever was earned was snatched forcibly from them. The world reputed Shawl and Silk industries declined. Workers used to work from early morning to late evening still they earned nothing. While realizing the attitude of rulers number of movements came into existence to fight against the autocratic rule to save the people from sufferings.
