Explain the interrelationship between cities and villages in the Harap

1.	Explain the interrelationship between cities and villages in the Harappan Civilisation.
Answer» The Harappan people depended on natural resources and villages in the vicinity in order to meet the needs of the urban way of life and urban administration. The raw material needed for industrial production included clay, various siliceous and semi¬precious stones, metals, etc. The interrelationship between Harappan cities and villages was dependent on the mechanism of making available things like food grains and raw materials. There was a network of small towns, small and big villages and campsites of semi-nomadic people which functioned to cater to the needs of major urban centers of the Harappan civilization. The best example of it is the Harappan Settlement of Shortugai.
