Answer:
There is little archaeological evidence to suggest that the Indus Valley cities had a strong central government. It is widely thought that the major cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro each had separate rulers. Although the heavily populated cities had separate leadership, there was a uniformity to urban planning, sizing and weights of bricks and structures, similar artifacts and other architectural features that could suggest a central government. Three competing theories have been forwarded concerning the possibility of a central government. First, the uniformity of urban planning is enough convincing evidence to state that the Indus had a common and overarching government. Second, the rulers were independent of one another and simply borrowed or used similar ideas making it appear as if there was one government in charge of all the cities. Third, the Indus Valley civilization had little to no leadership and all was shared in-kind in a form of communalism. Equal status would have been afforded in this third theory.
