Answer 2

There are different views on the Harappan society. One group of archaeologists suggest that the Harappan society had no rulers and so everybody enjoyed equal status. The other group of archaeologists are of the opinion that there was no single ruler but several ones. The third theory seems the most suitable. It suggests that it is unlikely that entire communities could have collectively made and implemented such complex decisions. Evidences show that complex decisions were taken and implemented in the Harappan society. Extra ordinary uniformity of Harappan artefacts as evident in pottery seals weights and bricks show the complex decisions. Plans and layouts of the city were prepared under the guidance and supervisions of the rulers. Big buildings palaces forts tanks wells canals and granaries were constructed. Cleanliness was the responsibility of the ruler. Roads lanes and drains were also constructed. The rulers also looked after the welfare of the economy. They hsed to inspire the farmers to increase agricultural production. They also motivated the craftsmen to promote different handicrafts. External and internal trade were both promoted by the ruler. The ruler used to issue common acceptable coins or seals weights and measurements. Rulers were expected to provide relief during natural calamity. During flood earthquake epidemics the ruler provided grains and other eatables to the affected people. During foreign aggression the rulers defended the city.
