Indian society witnessed many changes during the Sultanate period. The arrival and the establishment of the Muslim rule marked the fusion of Islamic and Indian cultures. Many low-caste Hindus embraced Islam as it emphasised on the principle of equality. This also led to the Indianisation of certain Islamic practices. At this time, the practice of sati, purdah system and child marriages became more common. The caste system continued to remain rigid.

Fusion of Hindu and Islamic cultures brought significant changes in art, architecture, music and languages.
