Lesson 7 of 12 • 75 upvotes • 14:44mins
The IVC disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared. No conclusive evidence of extinction has been found so far. There are many theories and hypotheses about the decline and extinction of the IVC. These are based partially on facts and partially on possibilities and speculations. Among these, the prominent factors are highlighted and detailed in this lesson. This lesson involves the use of maps, which the students should carefully watch and note down the important points because some of the points are rarely discussed. The extinction of a major river, equivalent to Indus, was a major cause of decline. Let us see how the Ghaggar-Hakra, usually called ‘Saraswati’ river, dried up and finished the eastern domains of the IVC. In addition to all this, we will also talk about who succeeded the IVC and in which region. The immediate succession is also seldom discussed. So we will see both the aspects in this lesson: Decline of the IVC and its succession.
