Answer»

Solution :There are indications of complex decisions being taken and implemented in Harappan society Evidences are:
(i) A large building found at Mohenjodaro was labelled as a palace by archacologists but no spectacular finds were associated with it.
(ii) Some archacologists are of the opinion that Harappan society had no rulers, and that everybody enjoyed equal STATUS.
(iii) Othets feel there was no single ruler but several, that Mohenjodaro-had a-separate-cules, Harappa another, and so forth.
(iv) According to some scholars, the last theory seems the most plausible, as it is unlikely that entire communities could have collectively made and implemented such complex decisions.
(V) There was EXTRAORDINARY uniformity of Harappan artefacts.
(vi) The bricks, though OBVIOUSLY not produced in any single centre, were of a uniform ratio throughout the region, from Jarnmu to Gujarat.
(vii) LABOUR was mobilised for making bricks and for the construction of massive walls and platforms. A planned urban centre with well laid out drainage system.
