Introduction
Harappan Theories and Discoveries MCQs help CBSE Class 12 students revisit key archaeological finds, major excavations and scholarly debates about the Indus (Harappan) civilisation. This practice set is NCERT-aligned and focuses on site discoveries (Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, Lothal, Dholavira, Mehrgarh), the archaeologists behind them, and competing explanations for urban decline — from environmental change and river shifts to social transformation. Each question is written to mirror board-exam style: concise, evidence-based and concept-driven. Attempting these MCQs will strengthen your grasp of how archaeological methods (stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating, archaeobotany, remote sensing) have shaped modern interpretations of the Harappan legacy. Detailed answer explanations clarify how discoveries support arguments about trade, urban planning, script undecipheredness and craft specialisation, while also highlighting where scholars remain cautious.
