Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There is evidence of settlement in this area as early as 7000 BCE. The Indus Valley Civilization is often separated into three phases: the Early Harappan Phase from 3300 to 2600 BCE, the Mature Harappan Phase from 2600 to 1900 BCE, and the Late Harappan Phase from 1900 to 1300 BCE.

Detailed explanation-2: -India’s first civilization developed in the Indus Valley because the Indus river system brings a steady source of irrigation water to the Indus Valley that made farming in this otherwise dry region possible. Regular river flooding also deposited fertile soil that was good for crops.

Detailed explanation-3: -India’s first civilization was the Harappan civilization, which developed along the Indus River valley. Named after the ancient city of Harappa, archaeologists believe Harappans thrived between 2300 and 1700 BC.
