Question 18

Briefly describe the social classification of Harappans as pointed out by the citadel.

Answer

The city of Harappans were divided into two parts — the raised area called citadel and the lower town. The Citadel had the houses of the ruling class and all important buildings like the Great Bath, the granary, the assembly hall and the workshops. The lower town had the residential buildings where the people lived and worked. This shows some sort of political organisation and social classification of Harappans.
