The Indus Valley civilization arose around 3000 BCE along the Indus River valley in what is now Pakistan. At its height around 2500 BCE, the civilization was home to large urban centers like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro with advanced infrastructure like sewage systems. Though the writing of the Indus Valley people remains undeciphered, they appear to have had a strong central government and engaged in extensive trade with Mesopotamia and other regions. By 1500 BCE, some Indus sites showed signs of decline possibly due to invasions by Aryan groups.

Characteristics of Indus Valley Civilisation.ppt
The Indus Valley civilization flourished from around 3000 BCE to 1500 BCE along the Indus River valley in what is now Pakistan. At its height around 2500 BCE, the civilization included large urban settlements like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro with advanced infrastructure like running water and sewer systems. They engaged in extensive trade with civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt. While their writing system has not been fully deciphered, the Indus Valley people appeared to have a strong central government and engaged in agriculture, trade, and religious practices centered around purification and an afterlife. The civilization began to decline after 1500 BCE with the arrival of Indo-Aryan groups into the region.

Ancient india
Ancient India was home to great civilizations that developed along the Indus and Ganges Rivers despite the land's varied terrain and extreme weather. The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan civilization, built well-organized brick and stone cities along the Indus River from around 2600 to 1700 BC. They developed systems of weights, measurement, and trade. Around 2000 BC, a group of migrants called the Aryans arrived from Central Asia and settled in the Indus River Valley. Hinduism later emerged as one of the main religions in India over 2000 years ago, with early written records of Hindu gods and beliefs dating to around the fourth century AD, though oral traditions supporting these beliefs predated the

2.3 Indus Valley Civilization
The first Indian civilization built well-planned cities on the banks of the Indus River around 2500 BCE. The Harappan civilization constructed cities out of mud bricks laid on a grid system with infrastructure like plumbing and sewage. Though the writing system of this civilization remains undeciphered, the cities were uniform in culture. The planning and culture of the early Indus cities still influence India today.

The Harappan civilization flourished along the Indus River valley from 3300-2400 BCE. Two major cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, had populations of around 35,000 people each and displayed advanced urban planning with gridded streets and drainage systems. The Harappans practiced agriculture along the fertile river banks and engaged in extensive trade networks reaching as far as Mesopotamia. While their written language remains undeciphered, artifacts provide clues about their religious beliefs and deity figures. The decline of this advanced civilization around 1700 BCE remains mysterious.

Early indus
The early civilizations of India included the Harappan society that developed between 3000-1900 BCE along the Indus River valley. The Harappans established large planned cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro that had drainage systems and grid-like streets. Though their writing remains undeciphered, the Harappans engaged in regional trade and had social classes. After 1900 BCE, the Harappan civilization declined possibly due to environmental factors, and Aryan groups migrated into the region, establishing Vedic culture and the foundations of Hinduism through sacred texts like the Vedas. The Aryans developed a caste system that divided society into distinct hereditary classes.
Geography and indian life2
The document discusses the geography and early inhabitants of India. It describes India as a subcontinent that was formed by a collision with Asia, creating high mountains like the Himalayas. Early settlements developed along rivers in the Indus River valley around 2500 BC, forming large planned cities with sewage systems and religious sites. However, environmental changes like shifting river courses and earthquakes are believed to have undermined the Indus Valley civilization by around 1500 BC.
