Indian culture id composite products, resulting from the fusion of several cultures, in which the contribution of the Sindhu valley civilization has been significant. The harappan civilization stood alongside the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations as the early, advanced civilizations of humankind, during the Neolithic and Chacolithic periods. Initial archeological excavations that took place as late as between 1922-1927 in the region of the Indus valley, have thrown up rich evidence of the existence of the harappan civilization, but much study still needs to be done to arrive at a clear and scientific understanding of this civilization.
