Aparajita Chakraborty This paper attempts an analysis of the dynamics of social formation under the Indus valley civilisation on the basis of material and analysis available in the works of historians, anthropologists and archaeologists. It aims at a political-economic interpretation of history based on the works of a few scholars who have dealt with the subject from a materialist standpoint. The author has attempted to synthesise the analyses and conjectures of these authors with a view to arriving at a comprehensive and consistent model of the economic structure of the Indus valley society with its dynamics.
