Detailed explanation-1: -The Social System of Harappans was fairly egalitarian (equality and equal rights). The archaeological record of the Indus civilization provides practically no evidence of armies, kings, slaves, social conflict, prisons, and other oft-negative traits that we traditionally associated with early civilizations.
Detailed explanation-2: -The people of the civilization were divided into four classes: the learned class, the warriors, traders and artisans, and manual labourers or the working class. Women were treated well in society. Agriculture was the main occupation of the people. Cattle were domesticated.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Harappan social system was largely egalitarian (equality and equal rights). Armed forces, rulers, slaves, social unrest, jails, and other frequently unfavourable characteristics that we generally associate with early civilizations are almost entirely absent from the archaeological record of the Indus civilisation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Socially, the men and women of Harappa were treated equally and both genders were respected with equal treatment. Sculptures, seals and public baths were the most attractive features of Harappan civilization and culture.
