Answer

The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization, belongs to the Proto-Historical period.

Proto-Historical Period
- The Proto-Historical period is the phase between prehistory and history.
- It is characterized by the existence of written records but lacks contemporary accounts from other cultures.
- This period is also known as the 'Dawn of History' or 'Historical Antiquity.'
- It covers the period from around 4000 BCE to 1500 BCE.

Indus Valley Civilization
- The Indus Valley Civilization thrived from around 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE.
- It was located in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, primarily in modern-day Pakistan and India.
- The civilization was discovered in the 1920s and is known for its advanced urban planning and architecture.
- The Indus Valley Civilization had a writing system, but it has not yet been deciphered, making it difficult to fully understand their culture and beliefs.
- The civilization declined around 1900 BCE, possibly due to environmental factors such as climate change or a shift in river systems.

Conclusion
Therefore, based on the characteristics of the Proto-Historical period and the timeline of the Indus Valley Civilization, it can be concluded that the civilization belongs to the Proto-Historical period.

Answer

Proto historical period

Answer

B is correct

Answer

Correct answer is B we have written evidence but clearly not sure excavation also taking place write now

Answer

Proto historic period

Answer

Proto-history has not been defined clearly and its period has also differed from country to country. But generally it has been accepted that it is that part of history about which we have found no written record in any form. In India, we have accepted that this period of history began when the people here started producing cereals.
Remnants of a civilization have been found at different places in Baluchistan, Sindh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and nearby places which prove that prior to Harappa or Indus valley civilization, there existed a village-civilization at these places as far back as 7000 B.C. As no written evidence is available concerning this civilization, it constitutes the earliest part of proto-history of India.

When the period of proto-history ended in India?

Scholars have differed concerning it. In fact, concerning Indian history, It is find that no written historical evidences prior to 300 B.C. e.g., age of the Mauryas. Yet, as literary written evidences are being available from 600 B.C., therefore several scholars have expressed the view that the period of proto-history ended by 600 B.C. in India.

But, there are certain other scholars who have maintained that as Vedic-texts are the sources of knowing the history of the Vedic age, therefore the Vedic-age also is not a part of proto-history in India. They, therefore, have opined that the history prior to the Vedic age only should be included in the proto-history of India. This view has been accepted by the majority of scholars. Therefore, the Indus valley or the Harappa-civilization has also been accepted as a part of proto-�history. Certainly, signs of a script have been found on different seals discovered at different sites of Harappa-civilization but it has not been deciphered so far. Therefore, Harappa-civilization has been considered a part of proto-history of India

Hence Option B is correct

Answer

Three history period are following
1. Pre-history – Events that occurred before the invention of writing are considered pre-history. Pre-history is represented by the three stone ages.
2.
Proto-history – It refers to the period between pre-history and history, during which a culture or organisation had not developed yet but has its mention in the written records of a contemporary literate civilisation. For example, the scripts of the Harappan civilization remains undeciphered, however since its existence is noted in Mesopotamian writing, it is considered part of proto-history. Similarly, Vedic civilisation from 1500-600 BCE is considered part of proto-history as well. Neolithic and Chalcolithic cultures are also considered part of proto-history by archaeologists.
3.History – The study of the past after the invention of writing and the study of literate societies based on written records and archaeological sources constitute history.

Answer

Answer

Proto -Historical period

Answer

Prehistoric period

Answer

IVC belongs to Protohistoric perioed of the history as we have the written record of this Civilisation but we've not been able to decipher it yet.
Generally on the basis of written records, history has been divided into 3 categories namely
1 prehistoric perioed: about this perioed we have no written record. we use sources other than written record to know about this period. For example Stone tools, buildings, artefacts, etc.
2.protohistoric perioed: The written record about this perioed has been found but not deciphered yet. For example, the people of Indus valley civilisation had a well developed pictographic script. we find alot of written evidence in the form of seals, inscribed information on various objects but we haven't been able to read/decipher this record. so we depend on sources other than writing to know about such cultures. our knowledge about such civilisations may increase of these scripts are deciphered in future.
3.Historic perioed: it is the perioed about which we have deciphered written record available.
