The History of Hindu India, Part Two: 300-1000 ce
Indus
Valley Civilization
(2500
BC · 1500 BC)
From the begining of the fourth mellenium BC,the
individuality of the early village culture began to be
replaced by a more homogenous style of existence. By the
middle of the 3rd millennium, a uniform culture
had developed at settlements spread across nearly 500,000
square miles, including parts of Punjab, Uttar
Pradesh, Gujarat, Baluchistan, Sindh and the Makran coast.
It was a highly developed civilization and
derived its name from the main river of that region—
Indus.The cities were far more advanced than their
counterparts in prehistoric Egypt, Mesopotamia or anywhere
else in Western Asia.
