Which among the following is NOT true about the Harappan culture?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. There is clear evidence for the practice of Sati.
The statement “There is clear evidence for the practice of Sati” is NOT true about the Harappan culture. Archaeologists have not found any definite proof that the Sati system existed during the Indus Valley Civilization. The other statements are considered correct based on available evidence. Seals and figures suggest the worship of a male deity similar to Pashupati or Shiva.
Excavations also show that women used ornaments made of gold, silver, copper, bronze, beads, and precious stones. Agriculture was the main occupation, and wheat and barley were the major crops cultivated by the Harappans. Therefore, the statement regarding Sati is incorrect because no reliable archaeological evidence supports this practice in Harappan society.
