Detailed explanation-1: -The region of Saptasindhu river is a region of our Indian culture. The culture developed here is known as the Indus valley civilisation as the cities flourished near the Indus River. However, modern historians also call it the Harappan Civilisation because Harappa was the first city to be discovered.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Harappan Civilisation has its earliest roots in cultures such as that of Mehrgarh, approximately 6000 BC. The two greatest cities, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, emerged circa 2600 BC along the Indus River valley in Punjab and Sindh.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1912 Harappan seals with unknown symbols were discovered by J. Fleet. This triggered an expedition by Sir John Hubert Marshall in 1921-1922. This expedition led to the discovery of the ancient city of Harappa, thus confirming the existence of the Indus Valley civilization.
