The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization, which was centred mostly in the western part of the Indian Subcontinent, and which flourished around the Indus river basin. Primarily centered along the Indus and the Punjab region, the civilization extended into the Ghaggar-Hakra River valley, and the Ganges-Yamuna Doab river valley, encompassing most of what is now Pakistan.
The Civilization is split into two parts, the Mehrgarh and the Harappan Civilizations, which are further sud-divided into Mehrgarh I and II, from 7,000 Bc to 3,300 BC.
The Harappan Civilization is sub-divided into Early, Mature and Late Civilization.
Early Harappan from 3,300 BC to 2,600 BC, further sub divided into Harappan 1, 3,330 to 2,800BC and Harappan 2, 2,800 to 2,600, BC.
Mature Harappan from 2,600BC to 1,900BC. Further divided into Harappan 3A, 2,600 BC to 2,450BC. Harappan 3B, 2,450BC to 2,200BC. Harappan 3C, 2,200BC to 1,900BC.
Late Harappan from 1,900BC to 1,300BC. Further divided into Harappan 4, 1,900BC to 1700 BC.
Harappan 5, 1,700BC to 1,300 BC.
From 1,300 BC to 300BC, there is still evidence of a IVC, but it was very regional, and nothing like the main civilizations mentioned above.
In the ancient History of world, the first civilization known to mankind in India was the Indus civilization which perished on the banks of Indus (called Sindhu in native language) river. But, mythologically and according to many ancient Hindu scriptures, The Ganges (Ganga in native language) plays the role of most important river.

The Indus River rises in India and travels to Pakistan.
The river northwest of India is the Indus River. Originating in Tibet, it flows through India and Pakistan, playing a crucial role in the region's agriculture and history. The Indus is one of the longest rivers in the world and has been central to the development of ancient civilizations in the Indian subcontinent.
India is the name of this region used in roman history and books. The "sindh" is the name river indus. "sind" in persian and arabic accent becomes "hind" when roman get to know about "hind" from persians and arabics, they say it "ind" as they cannot say "hind". Now sind to hind to ind. Now river name in roman ends with "us" so "indus" and country name ends with "ia" so india.
The indus valley and river were present in ancient India. the river does not exist now. It was present in present Pakistan and India.
