INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The close proximity to a huge river and continuous flooding brought about the gradual decline. The Harappan Civilisation came to an end due to the destruction caused by earthquakes and/or epidemics. The Harappan Civilisation came to an end due to the invasion of the Aryans.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many scholars believe that the collapse of the Indus Valley Civilization was caused by climate change. Some experts believe the drying of the Saraswati River, which began around 1900 BCE, was the main cause for climate change, while others conclude that a great flood struck the area.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water scarcity must have led to the exodus of the Harappan people to other places. Yet, the change of course of the Indus is not reason enough for the decline in Lothal, Kalibangan, Rupar etc. because the Mohenjo-Daro situation did not occur in these regions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Climate change, violence and disease played a key role in the collapse of the Harappan civilization more than 3, 000 years ago, according to a new study.

Detailed explanation-5: -Harappan civilization had collapsed by 1300 BC and the society had seemed to decline by 1900 BC. The “Indus valley civilisation” or “Harappan civilisation” declined around 1800 BCE.
