Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021

Did Harappans knew about cattle?

I read somewhere that they didn't but in one of the test I was proved wrong.

@Neyawn

1. Well, cattles were not found on any seal from IVC. (which was the basis on which I chose the option)

2. Didn't watch any movie on Harappa.

3. Agriculture & ate meat, which probably points that they knew about cattle.

I think you want me to think in this direction... but doesn't this contradict 1st point??

@upsc2020

Thanks a lot!

@Neyawn Yes, I think so.

They traded extensively and used coins (probably of alloys) & also Bronze statue of Dancing Girl....

@Neyawn Agreed.

Thanks for the lesson in lateral thinking. :)
