Detailed explanation-2: -The main social classes of the Indus River Valley Civilization are the Gods, Brahmins (priests and academics), Kshatryia (warriors and kings), Vaishya (merchants and landowners), Sudra (commoners, peasants, and servants), and then the Untouchables (the outcasts of the Caste system).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Priest King of Harappa refers to the human figure sculpted in steatite.
