Indus Valley Civilization: A Quick Glance to the Indus Valley Civilization (The History and Legacy of Ancient India's Most Influential Powers) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781774855867)

The dynasty that came to power in the late 4th century bce is known today as the mauryan dynasty, and although the ruling family was short-lived and their power was ephemeral, its influence resonated for several subsequent centuries and spread as far east as china and into the hellenistic west. Through relentless warfare and violent machinations, the mauryans were able to take a land that was full of disparate and often warring ethnic groups, religions, and castes and meld it into a reasonably cohesive empire.

The research that has been done at harappa over the last several decades has helped scholars understand various aspects of life there, and it has provided answers to many of the questions that had previously bewildered people about the indus valley civilization. Work at harappa has revealed that settlement was quite orderly, suggesting a strong leadership structure, but at the same time details about the ancient harappan government itself are absent.
