The Harappans were a very organized civilization. But we don't know a lot about them because they did not have any written records. But we do know that most of them were farmers. They were also peaceful because in the cities there were hardly any weapons and lots of toys. In 1500 B.C. The Aryans attacked the Harappans. And the Aryans took over the Harappans. From all this information I think that the Harappans had a very well organized society.
