Q. Indus valley civilization is an example of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(a) Pre-history<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(b) Proto-history<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(c) Continuous story<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(d) History<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ans: (b) Proto-history<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Proto-history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization, is considered a prime example of proto-history. Proto-history refers to a period that lies between prehistory and recorded history. During this phase, there is evidence of complex societies and urban settlements, but no written records or historical accounts exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Indus Valley Civilization flourished from around 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE in the region of present-day Pakistan and northwest India. It was characterized by well-planned cities, advanced drainage systems, standardized brick sizes, and a system of writing that remains undeciphered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the Indus Valley Civilization had a sophisticated urban culture, with trade networks and artistic expressions, the absence of deciphered written records makes it difficult to construct a complete historical narrative. The understanding of this civilization is primarily based on archaeological findings and the interpretation of artifacts and structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
