This advanced and excellent civilization was destroyed. It is believed that Mohenjodaro was a large city in 5000 BC which was destroyed at least seven times and re-inhabited seven times. Although the folds have been excavated, Mortimer Wheeler believes that there may be evidence of more civilizations under it.
The destruction of the Indus Civilization has not been definitively discovered yet. It is estimated that the cities of Mohenjodaro and Harappa were destroyed and destroyed by 2500 BC. There must have been many reasons for the destruction of this civilization such as severe floods in the Indus river, diversion of the Indus river, desertification of the area of Indus civilization, extraordinary changes in the climate, changing the direction of seasonal winds, severe earthquakes, foreign invasions or absorption of this civilization in the hills of sand due to less rainfall etc.
Historians have given evidence to prove this theory. Most of the cities of the Harappan civilization have been found in such a condition as if the old cities were destroyed and then rebuilt. For example, cities were built very carefully at first, but were rebuilt with broken bricks and no attention was paid to proper drainage during the reconstruction. One of the major features of the Indus Valley Civilization was the proper drainage system. Then, the average rainfall for cities declined, creating desert-like conditions. Which influenced agriculture and most of the trade depended on it. Due to the destruction of the entire civilization, the people of the Indus Valley started moving to some other places. According to some scholars, the reason for the decline is also the increase in aridity due to the diversion of the Ghaggar and Harka rivers. Around 200 BC, the place where the Indus Valley civilization experienced drought conditions is still a desert today.
Many theories have been formulated and provided, but all theories have been criticized in some way. Archaeological evidence proves that there was no sudden decline of the Indus Valley Civilization, rather it gradually weakened over a period of time and mixed with other civilizations.
According to Colombo, "the decline of the agricultural system led to the end of the Indus civilization. "He says that due to the change of rivers, the irrigation system came to a standstill and the ports were ruined. According to Dr. Rajbali Pandey, revolutionary climate change in the Indus Valley And this civilization was destroyed when the course of the Indus river changed. Some scholars are of the opinion that the arrival and invasions of the Aryans destroyed the Indus Valley Civilization because the people here were peace-loving while the Aryans were war-loving. On the basis of the remains of the Indus civilization, no detailed information can be obtained about this civilization. Neither any texts of this civilization are available nor its script has been read till date.
