Detailed explanation-1: -The people of Mohenjo-Daro used the bath for hygienic purposes, and some archaeologists theorize that the Great Bath might have also been used in religious rituals. To support this theory, archaeologists point to the baths of later Hindu temples and the bathing rituals that remain an important part of modern Hinduism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Underground sewers carried away the waste. People need to use much planning and organization to build such complex cities. Because of that, historians believe the ancient Harappans must have had powerful leaders.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is not known what type of government Harappa had. Harappa and nearby Mohenjo-Daro showed central planning and civic organization, but their writing system had not been deciphered to allow archeologists to better understand their societies and there is a debate about how they were likely governed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mohenjo-daro has been estimated to have had a population of around 40, 000 or more; Harappa was likely around the same.
