     The Indian culture is one of the world’s oldest surviving cultures finding roots in the Harappan Civilisation. In
    fact, our culture is not merely “surviving” but it is a flourishing, continuing ancient culture of the world. The
    civilization is an exceptional example of scientific & technological advancement, philosophy, architecture, art
    & aesthetics. The Harappan civilization is one of the 4 oldest civilizations of the world amongst
    Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Chinese civilizations. Geographically, it is one of the most widely spread
    civilizations in the ancient world, that existed around the river banks of Sara Swati (Ghaggar-Hakra), Indus
    and their tributaries in present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Roots of the origin and evolution of
    Harappan civilization can be traced back to 4800 BCE in the Mehrgarh (Baluchistan))

     Such is the glory of the Harappan times, and the recent excavations at Rakhigarhi by Professor. Vasant
    Shinde of Deccan College, Pune reveal the existence of Rakhigarhi (Hisar district, Haryana) village on the
    footprints of Harappan town planning & layout.. Rakhigarhi is estimated to be the largest spread settlement
    in the Indian subcontinent
     Rakhigarhi, or Rakhi Garhi (Rakhi Shahpur + Rakhi Khas), is a village in Hisar District in the state of Haryana in
    India, situated 150 kilometres to the northwest of Delhi. It is the site of a pre-Indus Valley Civilization
    settlement going back to about 6500 BCE. Later, it was also part of the mature Indus Valley Civilization,
    dating to 2600-1900 BCE. The site is located in the Ghaggar-Hakra river plain, 27 km from the seasonal
    Ghaggar River.

    Rakhigarhi encompasses a set of nine mounds, and there are many more settlement mounds in the
    immediate vicinity. Depending on which mounds to include, the estimates of the size of Rakhigarhi have
    been given variously between 80 and 550 hectares In January 2014, the discovery of additional mounds
    resulted it in becoming the largest Indus Valley Civilization site, overtaking Mohenjo-Daro (300 Hectares) by
    almost 50 hectares, resulting in almost 350
    hectares.
