The social and economic life of the people of Indus Valley Civilization (Harappan Civilization) was systematic and organised.
In this article we will discuss about the food, social Dress, ornaments, house hold articles, amusements, trade, social class and structure, religion and funerary customs of the people of Indus Valley Civilization. This will give us an overview of the Socio-economic activities of the Indus People.
The Indus valley population consisted of Australoid, Mediterranean, Mongoloid and Alpine races. The cosmopolitan character of the population proves that the Indus valley was the meeting place of the people of various races.
The people had good understanding of an urban civilization. The population of Mohenjo-Daro was about 35000.
Food of the people of Indus Civilization
The food of the Harappan people was supplied from extensive areas cultivated in vicinity of the city. Besides food was supplied from distant areas by boats plying on the rivers. Rice was probably grown in the Indus valley.
The staple food of the people comprised wheat, barley, rice, milk and some vegetables like peas, sesamums and fruits like date palms. Mutton, pork, poultry, fish etc. were also eaten by the Indus people.
Agriculture appears to be the main occupation of the Indus people. The discovery of a granary at Harappa lends support to this.
