Historians attribute the downfall of Indus Valley cities to several interconnected factors. Climate change likely played a significant role, as shifting monsoon patterns could have led to droughts, affecting agriculture and water supply. Additionally, river sedimentation and tectonic activity may have altered river courses, disrupting trade and sustenance. Social factors, such as possible internal strife or invasions, could also have contributed to the decline of these urban centers.
Some historians suggest that environmental factors such as droughts or floods played a role in the downfall of Indus Valley cities. Others believe that invasions from outside groups, such as the Aryans, could have contributed to the decline of these cities.
The Indus Valley Civilization declined around 1900 BCE for reasons that are still debated among historians. Possible factors include environmental changes, like shifts in rivers, earthquakes, or a decline in trade routes. Evidence also suggests possible invasion or internal conflicts leading to its downfall.
