Question

write a short note on the urban lifestyle of harappa civilization

Answer 1

The Indus Valley civilization was mainly an urban culture sustained by surplus agricultural production and commerce, the latter including trade with sumer in southern Mesopotamia. Both Mohenjo-daro and Harappa are generally characterized as having "differentiated living quarters, flat-roofed brick houses, and fortified administrative or religious centers."Although such similarities have given rise to arguments for the existence of a standardized system of urban layout and planning, the similarities are largely due to the presence of a semi-orthogonal type of civic layout, and a comparison of the layouts of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa shows that they are in fact, arranged in a quite dissimilar fashion.

Answer 2
