There are various opinions as to what happened to the Indus valley civilization. Probably them most held is that climate change (disappearance of the monsoons) resulted in a migration to the east but in smaller more isolated towns.
there are many theories on this like aryan invasion,drought,famine e.t.c but there are no proofs for these,they are just rumors.but according to UN's statement a powerful flood attacked indus valley civilisation bringing end to the world's first and most advanced civilisation.and i too have similar ideas as this is a place of powerful rivers like indus,ravi,saraswati,chenab,satluj,yamuna and according to some theories even ganges was flowing here.

The Indus River Valley civilization was one of the original civilizations of the world. Their contributions were mostly agricultural, like the Mesopotamians. They bettered things created by the Meso.'s, and also had their own discoveries and inventions. Some things include forms of a wheelbarrow, and farming tools. Hope this helped!
the above is answer is not at all correct. its true that aryans came in 1500bc and they were very destructive in nature not like indus valley civilization who were always had constructive minds. the indus valley civilization existed from 2500bc to 1750 bc. that means before aryans came the indus valley civilization was already finished 250 years ago. there are some historians that say that the indus river was flooded and due to that the indus valley civilization came to an end but in reality it was not possible that a flood destroys the whole civilization which was extended from uttar pradesh in the west to jammu and kashmir in north and to maharashtra in west. the actual reason which is more relaible answer than any other is that the indus valley civilization got extinct due to ecological factors. environmental and climatic factors like drying up of rivers,deforestation,soil sanity etc led to the decline of the greatest civilization.
Some origins for Hinduism are related with the ancient civilzation that were : The indus Valley civilization . Harrapan Culture.
The Indus Valley Civilization was a highly urbanized civilization. As a result there was a large section of the population that was not directly involved in agriculture but instead relied on the farmers in the rural areas for their food, a pattern which is consistent with cities today. In the absence of any scriptural evidence it can only be presumed that the Indus Valley Civilization had trade relations with places as far as Mesopotamia. - Excavated materials in Mesopotamia suggest that they might have had trade relations with Indus Valley Civilization by a sea route since some of the seals have pictures of boats. It can also be suggested that there was trade taking place because the resources required by the civilization were located over a large area. The Indus Valley Civilization people might have used weights and other measures so some of the artifacts discovered seem to be objects used for weighing. An interesting feature is that the weights appear to be based on a multiple of sixteen systems, a system which continued in India until the metric system was adopted. -

The epic literature that mentions the Indus River Valley is the ancient Indian text known as the Rigveda. In the Rigveda, the Indus River is referred to as the "Sindhu" and is praised for its life-giving waters and fertile lands. The river is also personified as a deity in some hymns, highlighting its importance in early Indian civilization.
