Arati Nadgouda

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The excavation carried in Western India have brought to light the important civilization of the Indus Valley. This is the most important civilization of the pre-historic period. The sites of this civilizations are Mahenjo-Daro, meaning the Mound at the Dead, on the Indus in Sind and the other Harappa on the Ravi in the Montqomery district of the Punjab. The surrounding region of Mohenjo- Daro is wonderfully fertile and is called even today Nakhlistan or the “ Garden of Sind”. Here, the city built some five thousand years ago was successively destroyed and rebuilt no less than seven times, the inundation of the Indus being perhaps the chief agency of destruction.
