The Beginnings of Indian Civilisation
Chapter 6 of the Class 6 NCERT social science textbook, Exploring Society: India and Beyond, journeys back to India's earliest cities and villages. Learners walk the straight streets of Mohenjo-daro, study its Great Bath, granaries and seals, and compare Harappan town planning with village life at Mehrgarh. The chapter explains how archaeologists read ruins, beads and bones to recover the past, and traces how farming, craft and trade laid the foundations of Indian civilisation.
