Answer 2

Answer:

The Indus civilisation is also known as the Harappan Civilisation, after its type site, Harappa, the first of its sites to be excavated early in the 20th century in what was then the Punjab province of British India and now is Pakistan.

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world slept, India awoke to life and freedom on 15th August 1947. On that day, India emerged as an Independent Nation, a nation proud of its ancient culture and civilization. People believed that Indian civilization began with the advent of Aryans. But the discovery of the Indus Valley Civilization proved that a highly developed urban civilization flourished in India much before the arrival of the Aryans.

As early as 1826, Harappa, located in West Punjab (now in Pakistan), attracted the attention of archaeologists. General Cunningham, a British Officer in India, gets credit for preliminary investigation in Harappa. He had visited the place many times and published a report on the Harappa's pictographic unicorn seal in 1875 in the Archaeological Survey of India.
