c17.s4.13

The Vaishya community was mostly engaged in agriculture, trade and commerce. We do not hear of the big Marwārī merchants in the Sultanate period. Trade was mostly confined to the Sindhīs, called Multanīs by Ziyauddīn Baranī, and the Vaishya community. As we shall see presently trade and industry were in a flourishing state in the fifteenth century, and the Vaishya class benefited by it immensely.
