However, after the study of the finds of Mohanjo-daro in Sind by Mr. R. D. Banerji the Indian pioneer in the field, it was found that Indus Valley civilization stood on its own, and grew independently of the contemporrraeous Sumerian and other cultures. It was thereafter known as Indus Valley Civilization.
The findings showed that the inhabitants of Indus Valley possessed highly advanced methods of civilization such as Town Planning, Sanitation, workmen's quarters, public baths, elaborate drainage system, cultivation, weight measures, garment-making, ornaments, toilet, furnituremaking, trade and commerce by land and water with foreign countries and some advanced methods of religious persuits as will be noted hereinafter. Ruins found in Mohan-jo-daro can be easily compared with some present day working town of Lancashire. Discuss the art of Town Planning in Mohan-jo-daro.
