the priestly class. Trade was a very big part of the Indus Valley society, everything that they did,
everything that they made was to ensure that they were able to create and trade more effectively. The
class system during the Indus Valley civilizationis extremely similar to the class system seen in
Pakistan and India today. There were farmers, who grew crops, mustard, sesame, grapes, dates,
melons, and khan. There were traders, these people were extremely good at what they did, and
this is one of the reasons why the Indus Valley Civilization was able to prosper for so long. There

would be people that would make things and other people who would buy them. This contributed
to the stability of the Indus civilization. Just like most ancient civilizations, priests played an
important part in ruling the civilization. They were seen as the closest to God, and that is why
they were given such authority and power. For people who follow religions, the religious leaders
are very important because they are seen as all knowing & are respected by the people of the
religious community.
