The Social System of the Harappans was :
(A) Fairly egalitarian
(B) Slave-Labour based
(C) Colour (Varna) based
(D) Caste-based
Answer: (A) The archaeological record of the Indus civilization provides practically no evidence of armies, kings, slaves, social conflict, prisons, and other oft-negative traits that we traditionally associated with early civili zations.
