Question : 30
Consider the following statements:
- 1. The Harappan society appears to have been matriarchal in nature.
- 2. The Harappan society comprised of people following diverse professions.
a) 2 only
b) 1 only
c) 1 and 2 both
d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer »Answer: (c)
The Harappan society appears to have been matriarchal in nature. This view is based on the popularity of the mother goddess as indicated by the finding of a large number of terracotta female figurines in Punjab and Sind region. As Harappan script has not been deciphered till now, we have to satisfy ourselves with this limited information on this issue.
The Harappan society comprised of people following diverse professions. These included the priests, the warriors, peasants, traders and artisans (masons, weavers, goldsmith, potters, etc.) The structural remains at sites such as Harappa and Lothal show that different types of buildings that were used as a residence by different classes.
The presence of a class of workmen is proved by workmen quarters near the granary at Harappa. Similarly, the workshops and houses meant for coppersmiths and breadmakers have been discovered at Lothal.
In fact, we can say that those who lived in larger houses belonged to the rich class whereas those living in the barracks-like workmen quarters were from the class of labourers.
