Write a few sentences about this book.<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Rigveda is one of the oldest books in the world.<\/li>\n<li>It was composed about 3500 years ago.<\/li>\n<li>The Rigveda includes more than a thousand hymns, called sukta or well said songs of praise.<\/li>\n<li>These are in praise of various gods and goddesses.<\/li>\n<li>These hymns were composed by sages (rishis).<\/li>\n<li>Most of the hymns were composed, taught and learnt by men. Only a few were composed by women.<\/li>\n<li>The Rigveda is in old or Vedic Sanskrit, which is different from the Sanskrit that students learn in school these days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\nFor which three things were battles fought by the Rigvedic age people?<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Battles were fought to capture cattle.<\/li>\n<li>Battles were also fought for land, which was important for pasture, and for growing hardy crops that ripened quickly, such as barley.<\/li>\n<li>Some battles were fought for water, and to capture people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nWhat was the fate of booty or looted wealth during the battle or war days?<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some of the looted wealth (or booty) obtained was kept by the leaders.<\/li>\n<li>Some portion of looted wealth was given to priests (brahmins).<\/li>\n<li>The rest of the looted wealth was distributed amongst the people.<\/li>\n<li>Some wealth (looted in the war or battles) was used for the performance of yajanas or sacrifices in which offerings were made into the fire. These were meant for gods and goddesses. Offerings could include ghee, grain and in some cases animals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 4.<br \/>\nWrite any three main common features of war of the Rigvedic age.<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Most men took part in wars during the Rigvedic age.<\/li>\n<li>As there was no regular army, but there were assemblies where people met and discussed matters of war and peace.<\/li>\n<li>The Assemblies also chose leaders, brave and skilful warriors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 5.<br \/>\nWrite main social differences as have been found out by the Archaeologists in megaliths.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nFinding out about Social Differences<\/p>\n<p>1. Archaeologists think that objects found with a skeleton probably belonged to the dead person. Sometimes more objects were found in one grave than in another. For example, in Brahmagiri one skeleton was buried with 33 gold beads, 2 stone beads, 4 copper bangles, and one conch shell.<\/p>\n<p>2. Other skeletons found out from the graves had only a few pots. Perhaps there was some difference in status amongst the people who were buried. Perhaps some were rich while others poor, some chiefs while others followers.<\/p>\n<p>Question 6.<br \/>\nWere some burial spots meant for certain families? If yes, give some facts about your answer. (NCERT Page 49)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nYes, some burial spots were definitely meant for certain families. We can give the following facts to prove our answer:<\/p>\n<p>1. Sometimes, megaliths, contained more than one skeleton. These indicated that people, perhaps belonging to the same family, were buried in the same place though not at the same time. The bodies of those who died later were brought into the grave through the port-holes.<\/p>\n<p>2. Stone circles or boulders on the surface probably served as sign posts to find the burial site so that people could return to the same place whenever they wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>Question 7.<br \/>\nWho was Charaka? What is the name of his work? Describe one of his contributions in regard of the human body.<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Charaka was a famous ancient Indian Physician. He was related with about 2000 years ago time.<\/li>\n<li>Charaka wrote a book on medical science known as the Charaka Samhita.<\/li>\n<li>Charaka has stated in his book that the human body has 360 bones. This is a much larger number than the 200 bones that are recognized in modem anatomy. Charaka arrived at this figure by counting the teeth, joints and cartilage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 8.<br \/>\nDiscuss \u201cFood at Inamgaon\u201d as archaeologists have found different proofs from different sites.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nFood at Inamgaon:<br \/>\n1. Archaeologists have found seeds of wheat, barley, rice, pulses, millets, pea and sesame at Inamgaon.<\/p>\n<p>2. Bones of a number of animals, bearing cut mark\u2019s that show they may have been used as food, have also been found. These include buffalo, goat, sheep, dog, horse, ass, pig, sambhar, spotted deer, blackbuck, antelope, hare, and mongoose, birds, crocodile, turtle, crab and fish.<\/p>\n<p>3. There is evidence that fruits such as her, amla, jamun, dates and a variety of berries were collected.<\/p>\n<p>Question 9.<br \/>\nHow were the oracle bones used by the Kings in China?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nKings of China got scribes to write questions on the bones of animals (called oracle bones).<br \/>\nFor example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Would they (the kings) win battles?<\/li>\n<li>Would the harvest be good?<\/li>\n<li>Would they have sons? The bones were then put into the fire, and they \u2013 cracked because of the heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fortune-tellers studied the cracks of oracle bones. They tried to predict the future. They sometimes made mistakes also.<\/p>\n<p>Question 10.<br \/>\nWrite some features of the kings of the ancient China.<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ancient kings of China lived in palaces in cities.<\/li>\n<li>The kings amassed vast quantities of wealth, including large, elaborately decorated bronze vessels.<\/li>\n<li>The ancient Chinese kings did not know the use of iron.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 11.<br \/>\nDescribe the word Aryas and Dasas (or Dasyus) used for the people.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1. Aryas. Sometimes, the people who composed the hymns described themselves as Aryas.<\/p>\n<p>2. Dasas or Dasyus. Aryas called their Opponents, Dasas or Dasyus. These were people who did not perform yajana (sacrifices) and probably spoke different languages (other than Sanskrit).<\/p>\n<p>Question 12.<br \/>\nWho were slaves in vedic society? Write a very short note about them.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nDuring later Vedic Age, the term dasa (and the feminine dasi) came to mean slave. Slaves were men and women who were generally captured in war. They were treated as the property of their owners (or masters) who could make them do whatever work they desired.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Books_and_Burials_Tell_Us_Class_6_Extra_Questions_Long_Answer_Type\"><\/span>What Books and Burials Tell Us Class 6 Extra Questions Long Answer Type<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Question 1.<br \/>\nDescribe different classes or categories of people as referred or described in Rigveda.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nWords of the Rigveda to describe different classes or categories of the people:<\/p>\n<p>1. There are several ways of describing people\u2014in the terms of the work they do, the language they speak, the place they belong to, their family, their communities and cultural practices.<\/p>\n<p>2. Broadly speaking, we can confess that there are two groups (of people) who are described in terms of their work\u2014the priests, sometimes called brahmins, who performed various rituals for the rajas. These rajas were not like the ones you will be learning about later (in coming chapters). They did not have capital cities or armies, nor did they collect taxes. Generally, sons did not succeed fathers automatically.<\/p>\n<p>3. Two words were used (in the Rigveda) to describe people or the community as a whole. One was the word jana, which we still use in Hindi and other languages. The other was Vish. The word Vaishya comes from Vish.<\/p>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\nHow do we know who was buried?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nWe know who was buried in the grave with the help of following clues:<\/p>\n<p>1. It is easy to check out the skeleton of a child from its small size. However, there are no major skeletal differences between a girl and a boy.<\/p>\n<p>2. We can check out whether a skeleton was that of a man or a woman also. We can decide this thing on the basis of what is found with the skeleton. For example, if a skeleton is found with jewellery, it is sometimes thought to be that of a woman. However, there are problems with this. Generally, men also wore ornaments.<\/p>\n<p>3. A better (or more reliable) way of figuring out the sex of a skeleton as to look at the bone structure. The hip or the pelvic area of women is generally larger to enable child bearing.<\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nGive a brief account of major features of a Special Burial found at Inamgaon.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nA Special Burial found at Inamgaon and its Major Features<br \/>\n1. At Inamgaon the scholars have found out a special burial. It is a site on the river Ghod, a tributary of the Bhima. It was occupied between 3600 and 2700 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>2. Here, adults were often buried in the ground, laid out straight, with the head towards the north.<\/p>\n<p>3. Sometimes, burials were within houses. Vessels that probably contained food and water were placed with the dead.<\/p>\n<p>4. One man was found buried in a large four legged clay jar in the courtyard of a five- roomed house (one of the largest houses at the site) in the centre of the settlement. This house also had a granary. The body was placed in a cross-legged position.<\/p>\n<p>Question 4.<br \/>\nWrite a short note on one of the oldest books in the world.<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vedas are known one of the oldest books in the world.<\/li>\n<li>There are four of them\u2014the Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda and Atharvaveda.<\/li>\n<li>The oldest veda is the Rigveda, composed about 3500 years ago.<\/li>\n<li>The Rigveda includes more than a thousand hymns, called sukta or \u201cwell-said\u2019. These hymns are in praise of different gods and goddesses.<\/li>\n<li>These hymns were composed by sages (i.e., rishis).<\/li>\n<li>These vedas are written in Vedic Sanskrit. The Vedic or old Sanskrit is different from the Sanskrit that you learn in school these days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 5.<br \/>\nMention some of the important features of the Rigveda.
