SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -In ancient times, the Indus Valley enjoyed a more moderate climate and served as the cradle of Indian civilization. South of India’s two major river valleys-the valleys of the Ganges and the Indus-lies the Deccan Plateau, which extends from the Ganges Valley to the southern tip of India.

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: -At the ancient site of Mehrgarh, where the earliest evidence has been found, barley was the dominant crop and was apparently supplemented with some wheat. The barley found there is the well-developed domesticate, six-row barley.
