Question

What are the main factors that led to urbanization during c. 6th century BCE​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:During the time between 800 and 200 BCE the Srama?a movement formed, from which originated Jainism and Buddhism. In the same period the first Upanishads were written. After 500 BCE, the so-called “Second urbanisation” started, with new urban settlements arising at the Ganges plain, especially the Central Ganges plain. The Central Ganges Plain, where Magadha gained prominence, forming the base of the Mauryan Empire, was a distinct cultural area, with new states arising after 500 BCE during the so-called “Second urbanisation”. It was influenced by the Vedic culture, but differed markedly from the Kuru-Panchala region. It “was the area of the earliest known cultivation of rice in South Asia and by 1800 BCE was the location of an advanced Neolithic population associated with the sites of Chirand and Chechar”. In this region the Shramanic movements flourished, and Jainism and Buddhism originated.

The following are the factors that led to the urbanization during the sixth-century BCE:

Explanation:

The following are the factors that led to the urbanization during the sixth-century BCE:

Technological advancement: during this time the people of the  Gangetic valley began the use of iron plough to clean the land. Forest clearance became very easy with the use of iron. Thus iron helped in the extension of agricultural fields.

Surplus Production:  Since the use of iron made the field clear, people began cultivating more land. They learnt the practice of cultivating two-three crops in a year.  During a short span of time, they had a surplus production.

Control of Surplus: As soon as the society had the surplus, they required an administrative unit to control the surplus. Therefore, those who controlled the surplus agriculture became dominated in the field and claimed a special status in the society.

Other occupation: people during this time had no need to cultivate for their own so some people engaged in other activities. But they too required some governance system so that the exchange of things can take place between the farmers and craftsmen.

Therefore, when the new markets emerged in the Gangetic valley people began residing in the nearby areas. Some of them found their occupation there. And this is how the Second Urbanization took place in the Gangetic Valley.
