The historical backdrop of India starts with the introduction of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), also known as the Harappan Civilization. It prospered around 2,500 BC, in the western part of South Asia, in contemporary Pakistan and Western India. One of the most significant Indus civilization sites is Chanhudaro. There are currently more than 2800 sites known to be part of the Indus Civilization, and Chanhu-daro is one of the larger ones with a lot of potential for excavation.
