Harappan Society

The Harappan Society, part of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization (around 2600–1900 BCE), was a sophisticated urban culture known for well-planned cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. They built organized streets, advanced drainage systems, and standardized bricks. The society likely had a centralized authority overseeing trade, craft production, and social organization. They engaged in agriculture, trade, and crafts like metallurgy and bead-making. Written language remains undeciphered, so details about their social structure are limited, but their advancements suggest a complex society with shared cultural practices and possibly social hierarchies, demonstrating impressive urban planning and community coordination.
