INDIA’S CIVILIZATION IS 5,000 YEARS OLD The Indus Valley civilization, one of
the oldest in the world, dates back at least 5,000 years (3,000 B.C.).It now occupies part of Pakistan and part of India. Its river source was Indus river flowing from the Himalayas.
The ruins of ancient cities Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa (now part of Pakistan) prove the very old civilization of India.
