Q: Write a short note on Indus valley.
Ans: Indus Valley Civilization
The Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300–1300 BCE) was one of the world’s earliest urban cultures, located in present-day Pakistan and northwest India. It flourished along the Indus River and its tributaries. Key cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were known for their advanced urban planning, with well-organized streets, drainage systems, and large public buildings. The civilization had a thriving economy based on agriculture, trade, and crafts, and its people created intricate pottery, seals, and jewelry. Though the writing system remains undeciphered, the Indus Valley Civilization is recognized for its contributions to early human development and its mysterious decline around 1900 BCE.
