Abstract

The indus valley civilization, also known as the Ghaggar-Hakra civilization or the Harappan civilization was one of the most ancient of world civilizations, a contemporary of the ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilization. This civilization flourished between 2600 B.C.E. and 1900 B.C.E. in the indus River Basin, spread over an area of 1,299,600 square kilometers primarily in modern day Pakistan and Northwestern parts of India, and extending to parts of Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran.The indus valley or the Harappan civilization, as interchangeably called, is remarkable for its seven centuries of unparalleled political stability and egalitarian society, centered on a high level of urban sophistication and prosperous trade and agriculture.
