Q2

The Social System of the Harappans was

A.
Fairly egalitarian
Answer
B.
Slave Labour based
C.
Colour Varna based
D.
Caste based

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The Social System of Harappans was fairly egalitarian (equality and equal rights). The archaeological record of the Indus civilization provides practically no evidence of armies, kings, slaves, social conflict, prisons, and other oft-negative traits that we traditionally associated with early civilizations. If there were neither slaves nor kings, a more egalitarian system of governance may have been practiced.
