South Asia’s first civilization developed in the Indus River valley (northwestern South Asia) — mainly in present‑day Pakistan (Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan) and parts of western India (Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana). This is the Indus (or Harappan) Civilization, with major sites such as Harappa, Mohenjo‑daro, Dholavira and Rakhigarhi. Its mature phase dates roughly from 2600–1900 BCE (with earlier farming settlements like Mehrgarh from c.7000–2500 BCE).
