WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -Indus civilization, also called Indus valley civilization or Harappan civilization, the earliest known urban culture of the Indian subcontinent. The nuclear dates of the civilization appear to be about 2500–1700 bce, though the southern sites may have lasted later into the 2nd millennium bce.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since Harappa was the first site to be discovered, the Indus valley civilisation is also referred to as the Harappan civilisation.

Detailed explanation-3: -This civilization lasted from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE and flourished between 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. It flourished along the Indus river basin, which spread across Pakistan. Two major cities of the civilization were Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. These two cities grew to accommodate 30, 000 to 60, 000 civilians.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mohenjo-daro was built in the 26th century BCE. It was one of the largest cities of the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation, also known as the Harappan Civilization, which developed around 3, 000 BCE from the prehistoric Indus culture.

Detailed explanation-5: -There is no difference between the two. Since Harappa was the first site to be discovered in 1921 by Daya Ram Sahni, hence the Indus Valley Civilisation is also called as the Harappan Civilisation. It’s the same thing. Harappa was one of the cities in the Indus Valley Civilization just like Mohan-jo-daro, Lothal etc.
