We and Our World is the DAV Class 6 Social Science book. It puts geography, history and civics into one 206-page volume, split into three units. Unit I, The Earth: Our Habitat (Chapters 1 to 7), runs from the solar system and latitude and longitude to India’s monsoon and its national parks. Unit II, People and Society in the Ancient Period (Chapters 8 to 20), goes from Stone Age tools and the Harappan cities through the Mauryas, Guptas and Harsha to the Pallavas of Kanchi. Unit III, Community and Its Development (Chapters 21 to 24), covers democracy, panchayats and municipal bodies.
One gap in this scan: it jumps from page 155 to page 163, so Chapter 19, India and the Outside World (pages 156 to 162), is missing. The questions and answers for that chapter are still on our Chapter 19 solutions page.
