This assignment is under revision for 2023-2024.

Please post in the forum for the day a short essay in response to this question:

Harappan community: What does our evidence tell us about Harappan civilization as a community? What questions remain? What does our evidence suggest about Harappan relationships with other communities?

Vedic community: What do the four varnas and the jati system tell us about Vedic community? What does the Bhagavad Gita (excerpted as Source 3.2) tell us? What does the creation and preservation of the texts discussed in Chapter 3 tell us about Sanskrit speakers?
