Question

6. Do you think that the life of farmers and herders who
supplied food to the Harappan cities was different from
that of the farmers and herders you read about in
Chapter 3? Give reasons for your answer.​

Answer 1

Yes I think that “life of farmers and herders who supplied food to Harappan cities” was totally different from farmers and herders the following three reasons:

• In chapter three the farmer of rural areas were described whereas in the current lesson, framers of the urban areas were described.
• The group who supplied food to Harappan cities was big when compared to that of framers and herders as discussed.
• The framers and herders of the Harappan civilization produced food for themselves as well as for trade and business purpose, but the framers described in second part produced crop only for self use and not for trade.

Answer 2

Answer:

Irrigation – Earlier farmers and herders did not have access to irrigation facilities, but the Harappan  people had well irrigation facilities like dams and canals.

Storage – Earlier farmers used clay pots and baskets for storage purpose, whereas later stage  farmers had well-built granaries.

Tools – Earlier farmers did not have wooden tools like ploughs that could be used for tilling the land.
