ntroduction
The history of India begins with the birth of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC),
also known as Harappan Civilization.
It flourished around 2,500 BC, in the western part of South Asia, in contemporary
Pakistan and Western India.
The Indus Valley was home to the largest of the four ancient urban civilizations of
Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China.
In 1920s, the Archaeological Department of India carried out excavations in the Indus
valley wherein the ruins of the two old cities, viz. Mohenjodaro and Harappa were
unearthed.
In 1924, John Marshall, Director-General of the ASI, announced the discovery of a
new civilisation in the Indus valley to the world.
The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC), also known as the Indus Civilisation, was a Bronze Age civilisation in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE.
