Social StructureSocial classes mean the group of people that was divided by society on the basis of any mean like wealth, power, color, place of birth, race they belong to or any other such mean. The social division of people was a prominent factor in the world for many centuries and our history has been greatly influenced by this social evil which considers some people superior over some other people. Persia was also such country which was affected by this social evil. One of the world’s oldest unremitting major civilizations hailed from Persia, with urban and historical settlements.
