Discussion
Which of the following may be considered as a primary source for understanding early humans in India ?
Answer: D
A primary source for early humans is the rock paintings of Madhya Pradesh.
Primary sources are materials from the time being studied. Rock shelters such as Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh carry paintings made by early humans, showing wild animals and hunting scenes. NCERT uses them as evidence of how these people lived.
The other options belong to far later periods. The Girnar rock inscription carries Ashoka's edicts and later Rudradaman's inscription, both historical-period records. The Padshahnama paintings illustrate the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's court history, and Kangra-style painting flourished in the eighteenth century.
