Society can be thought of as being made up of a set of social positions. Sociologists call these social positions status. Imagine you are 23 years old, male, student, belong to Hindu community and in terms of jati - you're a Yadav. Each of these social positions is defined by the relationship it has with other social positions in the society. If you are a student your relationship with your teacher is defined by the status that the teacher enjoys in a society. Besides this, your status as student or a Yadav or 23 year old and male is shared by others as well. So, it is quite possible that you share a status with these people Social Structure but in some respects you may be different. The others may not live in a city as you do.
