Question

Explain the statements with reasons.

Harappan people had to migrate.

Answer 1

1. When the Mature (urban) Harappan civilisation collapsed completely, the people of Late Harappan cultures who had settled on the ruins of Mature Harappan cities had to migrate elsewhere.
2. The urban Harappans and the Late Harappans dispersed. Wherever these people reached, new rural cultures came into being.
3. Thus, as the Harappan civilisation collapsed, Harappan people had to migrate.
