. The Most Ancient System Yet Discovered

About the drains, Mackay noted: "It is certainly the most complete ancient System as yet discovered." Every house was connected to the street drains. The main channels were made of bricks set in mortar and  were covered with loose bricks that could be removed for cleaning. In some cases, limestone was used for the covers. House drains first emptied into a sump or cesspit into which solid matter settled while wastewater flowed out into the street drains. Very long drainage channels were provided at intervals with sumps for Cleaning. It is a wonder of archaeology that "little heaps of material, mostly sand, have frequently been found lying alongside drainage channels, which shows… that the debris was not always carted away when the drain was cleared." From Ernest Mackay, Early Indus Civilization, 1948 drainage systems were not unique to the larger cities, but were found in smaller settlements as well. At Lothal for example, while houses were built of mud bricks, drains were made from burnt bricks.

ii. Was the drainage system similar in large & small settlements of Harappa? Support your answer with Facts. 3
iii. How were the drains covered? 2

15.. Read the following excerpt carefully and answer the questions that follow:

There Cannot Be Any Divided Loyality

Gobind Ballabh pant argued that in order to become loyal citizens, people had to stop focusing only on the community and the self: For the success of the democracy one must train him in the art of self- discipline. In democracies one should care less for him and more for others. There cannot be any divided loyalty. All loyalties must exclusively be centered on the state. If in a democracy, you create rival loyalties, or you create a system in which any individual or  group, instead of suppressing his extravagance, cares not for larger or other interest, then democracy is doomed.

i. Why G.B. Pant wanted to see people as loyal citizens? 2
ii. What are criteria for the success of democracy? 2
iii. How does G.B. Pant define the attributes of a loyal citizen? 3
