The main methods of subsistence of the Harappan period are
described as follows-
(i) Agriculture- The inhabitants of the Harappan civilization
obtained their food from a variety of plant products and animals,
including fish. Archaeologists have been able to obtain
information about dietary habits from burnt grain grains and
seeds. These are studied by palaeobotanists who are experts in the
study of ancient vegetation. Grains found at Harappan sites
include wheat, barley, pulses, white gram and sesame. Millet
grains were obtained from sites in Gujarat. Relatively few grains
of rice have been found.
(ii) Animal husbandry- Animal bones found from Harappan sites
include bones of cattle, sheep, goat, buffalo and pig. Studies
conducted by archaeologists indicate that all these animals were
domesticated.
(iii) Hunting- Bones of wild species like boar, deer and crocodile
have also been found. We have not been able to know whether the
Harappans themselves hunted these animals or obtained their
meat from other hunter-gatherers. Bones of fish and birds have
also been found.

Although there are indications of agriculture from the grains, it is
difficult to get clear information about the agricultural technology
of the Harappan period. On the basis of available evidence, a
brief description of the agricultural methods of the Harappan
period is as follows-
(i) Agricultural methods- Seeds were sprayed in plowed fields.
Seals But on the basis of finding pictures of oxen, archaeologists
believe that oxen were used to plow the fields. Also, models of
plow made of clay have been found at many sites of Cholistan
and Banawali (Haryana). Its. Additional archaeologists have
found evidence of plowed fields at a site called Kalibangan
(Rajasthan). In this field there were two sets of plow lines
intersecting each other at right angles, indicating that two
different crops were grown simultaneously.
(ii) Use of tools- Archaeologists have also tried to identify the
tools used for harvesting crops. Did the people of the Harappan
civilization use stone flails fitted with wooden handles or did they
use metal tools?
(iii) Means of irrigation- Most of the Harappan sites are located
in semi-arid areas where irrigation would probably be required
for agriculture. Some remains of canals have been found from a

7

Page 9

Harappan site called Shortughai in Afghanistan, but not in Punjab
and Sindh. Reservoirs were also used for irrigation. Apart from
this, the reservoirs found in Dholavira (Gujarat) were probably
used to store water for agriculture.

In the religion of Islam, the inclination of some spiritual people
towards mysticism and renunciation increased, they came to be
called Sufis. Some scholars believe that the word Sufi is derived
from the word 'Suf' which means 'wool' i.e. people who wear
rough woollen clothes. Other scholars believe the origin of this
word to be from 'Safa'. Which means clean. Scholars are not
unanimous regarding its meaning and origin.

Satyagraha against the atrocities on farmers by European
plantation owners. This was Gandhiji's first Satyagraha after
returning to India from South Africa. The government was
troubled by this Satyagraha of Gandhi and was forced to appoint
an inquiry commission and Gandhiji was also made a member of
it. This commission investigated the problems of the farmers and
by making laws, all the wrong practices were ended and the
farmers were accepted as land owners. This was a big
achievement of Gandhiji at that time.

Scholars are not unanimous about the existence of a ruler in the
Harappan civilization. Some archaeologists are of the opinion that
there were no rulers in this civilization. But on the basis of
various evidences received and the similarity that has been found
regarding some subjects in different areas of civilization. On the
basis of that, it can be said that rulers must have played an
important role in this civilization. The following possible tasks
would have been performed by the rulers in the Harappan society:
(i)To establish uniformity in the antiquities – The extraordinary
uniformity found in the antiquities, seals, weights and bricks of
the Harappan civilization makes it clear that it was not within the
power of the common man to establish this uniformity in the
entire civilization. These complex tasks would have been
accomplished by the ruler through law.

17

Page 19

(ii) Making town planning: The second most important task of the
rulers must have been making town planning. In the Harappan
civilization, cities were built according to a definite plan. Good
drainage arrangements were made in the cities. Roads were built
on the grid system. Establishing a structure like a granary to
preserve food grains in times of disaster. All these tasks must
have been performed regularly by a ruler.
(iii) Management of raw materials for craft production: Many
craft production tasks were carried out in the Harappan
civilization. It must have been the responsibility of the
government system to provide the necessary raw materials for
these craft production works.
(iv) Establishing settlements to obtain raw materials - In order to
provide a smooth pace to the economy, the rulers must have
established settlements at many places in the civilization to obtain
raw materials for craft production. For example, settlements were
established in Nageshwar and Balakot where conch shells were
easily available.
(v) Sending expeditions and establishing relations in remote areas.
From time to time, expeditions were sent by the rulers to various
places to organize trade activities. Like sending an expedition to
get copper from Khetri region of Rajasthan. Various evidences
show that the Harappan civilization had relations with outer areas
like Oman, Meluhha etc. All these works could be done only by
the rulers. Thus, it is clear that only the ruling class could
accomplish the above mentioned tasks regularly and effectively.

Social life-
The traditional social unit in the Harappan civilization was the
family. His social life was happy and comfortable. The majority
of female figurines found during excavation indicate that their
family was matriarchal.
The main features of the Harappan society are as follows:-
* The people of Harappa civilization ate both vegetarian and non-
vegetarian food.
* From the needles recovered from the excavation, it is estimated
that people used to wear stitched clothes.
* Hairstyle was popular at that time. Women used to join. Men
had long hair and beard and moustache.
* People of this community were fond of jewellery in which they
used to wear necklaces, earrings, hansuli, armbands, bracelets,
rings etc.
* Their jewellery was made of precious stones, ivory, bone and
conch.

21

Page 23

* The residents here were lovers of fun and enjoyment. Dice was
the main game of this period.
Religious life-
There is no written literature available about the religious nature
of Harappan civilization. We can describe the religious nature of
this place only on the basis of the remains excavated here.
* In the Harappan culture, like Egypt and Mesopotamia, no
remains of any temple have been found, nor has any building
been found which can be called a temple.
* The idols found in Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa are considered
to be the idols of Mother Goddess. From these it can be inferred
that Mother Goddess was worshiped here, whom today we
consider as Durga, Kali, Chandi, Gauri etc.
* In one statue, a plant is shown emerging from the womb of a
woman. Which is probably the idol of a goddess on earth.
Therefore, it is possible that the Harappans considered the earth a
goddess and worshiped it. My sir has received a statue from
Mohenjo-Daro in which a three-faced man is sitting in yoga
posture and has three horns. To its left is a rhinoceros and buffalo,
to the right an elephant and a tiger. There is a deer in front of it
which has been compared to Pashupati.
* These people used to worship trees (especially Peepal). Because
on a currency obtained from Mohenjo-Daro, 9 Peepal branches
are shown on the top of two paired animals.

The originator of Sikhism was Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He was born
in 1469 AD in a village named Talwandi situated on the banks of
river Ravi. He gave his teachings or thoughts to the followers of
Sikhism in the Punjabi language; his message being contained in
his hymns. The main teachings of Sikhism are as follows-
(i) Worship of God should be done selflessly. God is all powerful.
He is omnipresent. It has no shape and is invisible. Remembering
the name of God and surrendering before Him is the only means
to attain it.
(ii) Guru has been given utmost importance in Sikhism. Therefore,
he has made Guru essential in man's life.
(iii) In this religion, abandoning the underground life is not
considered appropriate. According to him, God is not an obstacle
in the path of attainment but is a seeker, it is best to actually attain
God only by living like a lotus in water.
(iv) Sikhism is against caste, religion and class discrimination. He
opposed the external rituals of religion like yagya, fasting and
holy bath etc.
(v) He started the practice of langar to maintain feelings like
mutual love and cooperation in the society.

24

(vi) He emphasized on the development of honourable qualities
like morality, charity, righteous earning etc.

Alwar, Nayanar and Veerasiva were ideologies that originated in
South India. Among them, Alvars and Nayanars were in Tamil
Nadu and Borshaivas were in Karnataka. In his own way, he
rejected the constraints of the caste system. Alwar and Nayanar
saints rejected the caste system. He declared all human beings to
be children of one God. In their literature, Vishnu devotees have
been given priority compared to Vedic Brahmins. These devotees
belonged to any caste or varna. Alwar and Nayanar saints
belonged to the Brahmin community, craftsmen and farmers
community. Some of them even belonged to the castes considered
'untouchable'. The Alwar community gave full respect to these
saints and their writings and considered them as prestigious as the
Vedas. Nalchiradivyaprabandham, a major poem of the Alwar
saints, was recognized as the Tamil Veda.
People of Lingayat community also opposed the caste system. He
did not accept the beliefs of Brahmin theology. He recognized
adult marriage and widow remarriage. This community mostly
included those people who did not get special importance in the
Brahmanical system. He believed that the caste system serves the
interests of a particular class.
