Question

Which of the following statements is not correct about the subsistence strategy of Harappa?

• A. Terracotta sculpture of oxen indicates ploughing.
• B. Two sets of furrows at right angles indicate two cropping patterns.
• C. Traces of canals have been found at Shortughai, Afghanistan.
• D. Deep water reservoirs have been found in Sindh for irrigation.

Hint:

The Harappan civilization's agricultural practices were advanced for their time, evidenced by terracotta sculptures and irrigation systems, but no deep water reservoirs have been found in Sindh.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Agriculture was central to Harappa's survival. Evidence from terracotta figures suggests the use of ploughs, and analysis of furrow patterns indicates two distinct cropping seasons. Nevertheless, no evidence of deep water reservoirs for irrigation has been discovered in Sindh.
