Question

eassy on agriculture of Indus valley civilization
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer

Explanation:

Such a ratio would give a total population of four million for the entire territory of the Indus civilisation, or nearly six persons per square kilometre.

This would compare with nearly 50 persons per square kilometre in the same area in 1901. In 1991 the corresponding figure was about 180 persons! The comparison helps us to see how sparsely populated the Indus basin must still have been at the time of the Indus civilisation”.

In a region which did not have sufficient rainfall for supporting agriculture recourse was taken, as has been noted above, to the flood-plains of the rivers which had the tendency of depositing every year soft and fertile alluvial soil along their banks during the summer months.

The agricultural pattern of Indus civilisation was thus geared accordingly and it is useful to understand the river behaviour at some length to truly appreciate this feature. The Indus has a very large and wide flood plain and the alluvium deposit too is fairly deep. In fact the behaviour of Indus is comparable with the two other river systems that were also the cradle of important ancient civilisation the Nile and the Euphrates Tigris river systems.

A comparison of this type may help us place the Indus system in proper perspective. A comparison of Indus with Nile and Euphrates Tigris has been done by Shereen Ratnagar. She writes: “The Nile is, in contrast to Indus, predictable and tame.

It floods its extremely narrow valley between late June and September with a fair degree of regularity, the water standing in the fields for several weeks and then subsiding, thoroughly wetting and fertilizing the soil before it is time to sow. Wheat and barley require no further irrigation, even though Egypt is a hyper-arid land with less than ten centimetres of rainfall per year.
