INDIAN SITES OF INDUS CIVILISATION : DHOLAVIRA LOTHAL RAKHRIGHAR& KALIBANGAN

When the Indus valley civilization was discovered in the 1920s it was an occasion of joy and celebration for the entire Indian sub-continent. But along with the   Indian independence came the partition of India and the two cities of great fame Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa became a part of Pakistan. What history and geography had united man in his cunningness divided into two. And it was all the more sad for the citizens of India at least for the historically oriented citizens that the twin cities of I V.C had gone to the neighboring Pakistan which in course of time turned into a foe. History shuts one door only to open another. Starting from the 1950s archeologists of India worked hard to excavate possible sites of I V C. They did not toil in vain. Many important sites of I V C had been excavated. Some of them bigger and richer than the “original twin cities of I V C”. In this book we shall read about some of them.
