The Harappan towns promoted equality through uniform housing and equal access to resources, showcasing a socially egalitarian nature despite the absence of a centralized authority.
Assertion (A): The Harappan towns promoted an equal society.
Reason (R): All houses have the same kind of access to water and drainage.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct. The uniformity in size of homes and equal access to water and drainage facilities within Harappan cities reflect a socially egalitarian nature. The archaeological evidence supports the idea of a relatively equal society in the Indus Valley Civilization.
In contrast, there is no concrete evidence of a centralized power structure ruling over an empire or independent city-states in the Harappan civilization. The absence of identifiable palaces or temples points towards a decentralized form of governance, possibly with local elites governing each city.
