There are several reasons for choosing this period. However, this article focuses neither on the ‘First Urbanization’ nor on the ‘Second Urbanization’, but on the time-period 400-1300 CE. Whether the ‘First Urbanization’ left some legacy on subsequent urban development is debatable, but sixth century BCE onwards several urban centres emerged in India, particularly in the Gangetic plains. The Harappan civilization was one of the earliest urban civilizations of the world, although its script not being deciphered is a major obstacle to glimpse through the social and cultural life of the Harappan townsmen.

And there were no dearth of cities in early India. No doubt, cities were more likely to become centres of organized amusement than villages. Scholars like Tapo Nath Chakravarti, Jeannine Auboyer and V.Raghavan are notable exceptions.

But all 3 of these are not available OTB so someone, not necessarily me, might say that any/all are cheating if done online.India, particularly ancient India, has often been celebrated as the land of otherworldliness and non-attachment.

(3.1) what if someone, not necessarily me, were to say it's cheating to use arrows? or to premove? It seems like the only difference between arrows, premoving and scratch boards are that they are allowed/disallowed by the site.

What if someone were to say it's cheating in correspondence even if it's allowed by the site eg 'since it's obviously a tool to help you calculate'? (2.1) Sure it was against the rules (factual/positive), but was it cheating (argumentative/normative)? the site sees this happening and then realises/relents 'ok fine, we'll allow it.' So was it cheating before the site allowed it? I mean, imagine a site where scratch boards aren't allowed in correspondence. Please clarify: are you arguing it's immoral/unethical because it's illegal? or what? Cheating in live games since it's obviously a tool to help you calculate.
