Society
Indus River Valley Society
Over time, the people of the Indus invented a written and spoken language that has yet to be translated by historians, mainly because of the Aryan invasions that wiped out the culture. However, many other inventions enable us to learn more about them. These people developed a weight and counting system, which shows early forms of math and logical skills which definitely helped form a more stable society in the economic and political standpoint. The top right shows a typical alleyway surrounded by homes, which gives you an idea of how life was like.
Religion
Historians don't know much about the whereabouts of the social structure that existed in ancient India, but some archaeological evidence was found suggesting some religious practices. In the city of Mohenjo-Daro, one of the largest structure that was found was a giant public pool promptly named "The Great Bath" as seen on the above left. Later Vedic-Age (the classical time period in India, right after the fall of the Indus Valley Civization) ritual cleansing practices suggests that this structure may have been used as a baptismal pool by the Indus people.
