What does the phrase “Harappan Site” mean exactly? Does it mean that the site has the evidences of a culture/life similar to Harappan site or does it mean that the site flourished in the same period as that of Harappa site?
Thanks for the question Byomkesh,
Harappan Site is a term used for those sites which fulfil the basic checklist of archaeological features that are a connecting trait of the Harappan culture.
Some of these are –
1. Standardised Bricks
2. Red pottery painted with motifs in black.
3. Terracotta cakes of triangular and circular shapes.
As far as time period are concerned, these sites are further classified into – early harappan sites, mature harappan, and late harappan sites. That is because a civilization is a long and complex tradition that cannot be understood in just one dimension.
Thank you! That cleared everything…..

I am school going child… I had cleared my board exams.i thought to take humanities in my higher secondary education.. Is it the best option???
Humanities is an enlightening branch of studies. However, there are other useful branches to study as well – Commerce and Sciences.
I would recommend you take an APTITUDE TEST to assess your interest and abilities to find what will work best with you.
P.S. – Any stream will become the best option if you enjoy learning the subject.
Best of Luck !

how much do we have degree percentage to write upsc exams
There is no requirement of any minimum percentage to appear for this exam. If you are a GRADUATE from a UGC recognised university, you are eligible to appear for the Civil Services exam.
is it enough to learn through the materials in your website?,i dont have much time to learn by books….
The free material on website are good for basics and revisions. For a wholesome preparation you can enroll in our Complete Self-Study Package for UPSC IAS Prelims here : https://exampariksha.com/shop/complete-self-study-package-upsc-ias-prelims/
With this package you don’t have to buy any books at all.
I have gone through the material on this website, it is not enough as they dont have international relations portion, which is important for prelims. But this site’s History, Polity, Geography material is extremely good for revision. If you remember the stuff read in school, this website is great help.
hope this helps.
