How were Vanzaras important for the economy ?
✓
Answer
Vanzara was the most important Nomadic caste of India.
Sultan Alauddin Khilji of the Delhi Sultanate used Vanzaras to transport grain and goods to the markets of Delhi.
In the time of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, Vanzaras used to load oxen and sold grain in the cities. During the war, the Vanzaras used to bring grains and goods for the Mughal army through ox carts.
Moreover, Vanzaras used to take many goods from India to Central Asia and from there, many goods were brought to India. Thus, they acted as a link between India and the world.
Thus, the merchants (Vanzaras) played an important role in the economy by transporting grains and essential commodities from one regionne to another.
