Do you think that the Early Vedic Age was less or more advanced than the Indus Valley Civilisation? Discuss in the class.

Accepted Answer

Urban Planning and Infrastructure: The Indus Valley Civilization had well-planned towns with sophisticated drainage systems, grid-based street layouts, and public structures while Early Vedic cities had less urbanisation and inferior urban planning.

Trade and Commerce: The presence of standardised weights and measures as well as artefacts like seals are proof of the Indus Valley Civilization's active trading network while there is less evidence of standardised institutions and fewer trade linkages in early Vedic civilization, trading did exist.

Technological Developments: The Indus Valley Civilization made significant strides in irrigation, sanitation, and urban planning while the development of iron technology during the Early Vedic Age aided in the advancement of both agriculture and warfare.
