    'The Archaeological records provide no immediate answer to the Harappa's central authority.? Analyze different views given on the same.

    Answer:

    Opinion of some of the archaeologists about the Harappan Central authority:
    1. According to some archaeologists the Harappan society had no rulers and that everybody enjoyed equal status.
    2. Others feel that there was no single ruler but several. The Mohenjodaro had a separate ruler, Harappan another and so forth.
    3. Others argue that there was a single state, given the similarity in artefacts, the evidence for planned settlement, the standardized ratio of brick size and the establishments near sources of raw material.
    4. Of all, the last theory seems the most plausible as it is unlikely that entire communities could have collectively made and implemented such complex decisions.
