Question : 31
Which amongst the following civilizations was not contemporary with the Harappan civilization?
a) Chinese civilization
b) Mesopotamian civilization
c) Egyptian civilization
d) Greek civilization
Answer »Answer: (a)
Archaeologist Sir John Marshall thought that the Indus Valley Civilization belonged to the period between 3250 BC and 2750 BC. It is the period when the Egyptians, Babylonian and Mesopotamian Civilizations flourished.
From the objects discovered at the cities of the Indus Valley Civilizations, historians have made a comparative study of the contemporary civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Babylonia.
They came to the conclusion that the Indus Valley Civilization was at its height of glory during the period of the contemporary civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Babylonia.
Question : 32
Consider the following statements:
- The Harappan civilization appeared all of a sudden
- Better technology to exploit the fertile plains of river Indus might have resulted in increased agricultural production.
a) 2 only
b) 1 only
c) 1 and 2 both
d) None
Answer »Answer: (a)
The Harappan civilization did not appear all of a sudden. It developed gradually from earlier Neolithic village cultures.
The archaeological remains show that before the emergence of Harappan civilization the people lived in small villages. It is believed that the better technology to exploit the fertile plains of river Indus might have resulted in increased agricultural production.
This led to the production of a larger surplus to feed and maintain non-agricultural people such as artisans, administrators, etc.

a) Dholavira
b) Lothal
c) Mohenjodaro
d) Harappa
Answer »Answer: (c)
In Indus Valley Civilization, a granary outside to citadel was found at Mohenjodaro. Because farmers outside the walls of Mohenjodaro usually had their own granaries, some archaeologists think that grain stored within the citadel granary may have been collected as taxes.
