Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

Mesopotamian Civilisation. NCERT lists Indus, Harappan, Indus-Sarasvati, and Sindhu-Sarasvati as names used for the civilisation of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. Mesopotamia refers to a different ancient civilisation in West Asia. Specifying the textbook identifies the naming convention without implying that every historian uses all of these names.
