Answer 2

Answer:

In 1925 archaeologists announced a spectacular discovery of immense urban ruins of two cities Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa divided apart by a distance of 640 km but identical in their layout, architecture and building technique.

In 1922 Dr. Rakhal Das Banerjee, the then Archaeological Superintendent of Western Circle noticed a Buddhist stupa at Mahenjo-daro in the Larkana district of sind (now Pakistan).

Simultaneously Sir Dayaram Sahani discovered some remnants of pre-historic age at Harappa in Montgomery district of the Punjab (now Pakistan). Excavation in both places unearthed valuable materials of a civilisation of higher order. Excavation at various other sites at Chandra Daro, Amri, Lohunjo-daro, Noa and Rupar proved that a prodigious civilization lived in the region about 5000 years ago and tied round the river Indus and its tributaries and thus identified as the Indus valley civilization.

During the past two decades substantial additions have been made to our knowledge of the Indus civilization. Numerous excavations have been made to by various archaeological agencies both foreign and Indian at different sites of the civilization. The discovery of Naushera in Pakistan has yielded important evidence relating to the actual process of transformation from the early to mature Harappan phase.

It is difficult to assert when such a civilization of high order flourished in the North-Western region of India. We do not get any direct source in shape of inscriptions or any written material to say the exact date and time of the civilization. During the process of excavation many seals with scripts have been discovered.Unfortunately it is still not possible to decipher the scripts. As a result information embodied in the script are unknown till today. According to John Marshall the then Director General of Archaeology, this civilization flourished in this vast region roughly between 3250 BC to 2750 BC.The excavation undertaken in various places gives clear indication that the people of Indus valley were primarily urban people. The Indus cities whether Harappa or Mahenjo-daro in Pakistan or Kalibangan, Lothal or Sarkotada in India shows Town planning of a truly amazing nature. In both the places the cities were built on a uniform plan.

To the west of each was a ‘citadel’ mound built on a high podium of mud-brick and to the east was the town proper the main hub of the residential area. The citadel and the town was further surrounded by a massive brick wall. In fact careful planning of the town, fine drainage system, well arranged water supply system prove that all possible steps were carefully adopted to make the town ideal and comfortable for the citizenry.
