First known civilization in ancient India specify the name
The earliest traces of civilization in the Indian subcontinent are to be found in places along, or close, to the Indus river. [ Excavations first conducted in 1921-22, in the ancient cities of Harappa and Mohenjodaro, both now in Pakistan, pointed to a highly complex civilization that first developed some 4,500-5,000 years ago, and subsequent archaeological and historical research has now furnished us with a more detailed picture of the Indus Valley Civilization and its inhabitants. The Indus Valley people were most likely Dravidians, who may have been pushed down into south India when the
Aryans, with their more advanced military technology, commenced their migrations to India around 2,000 BCE. ]
