Indus Valley ( SINDH ) Desert

The Indus Valley Desert is an almost uninhabited desert ecoregion of northern Pakistan.

Location and description[edit]

The Indus Valley desert covers an area of 19,501 square kilometers (7,529 sq mi) in northwestern Punjab Province between the Chenab and Indus rivers. The Indus Valley Desert is drier and less hospitable than the Northwestern thorn scrub foreststhat surround it with temperatures ranging from freezing in winter to extremely hot (more than 45°) in summer with only 600-800mm of rainfall per year.[1]

Indus Valley Civilization, SINDH

The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) SINDH was a Bronze Agecivilization (3300–1300 BCE; mature period 2600–1900 BCE) extending from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistanand northwest India (see map).[1] Along with Ancient Egypt andMesopotamia it was one of three early civilizations of the Old World, and of the three the most widespread.[2] It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, one of the major rivers of Asia, and the Ghaggar-Hakra River, which once coursed through northwest India and eastern Pakistan.[3]
At its peak, the Indus Civilization may have had a population of over five million. Inhabitants of the ancient Indus river valley developed new techniques in handicraft (carnelian products, seal carving) and metallurgy (copper, bronze, lead, and tin). The Indus cities are noted for their urban planning, baked brick houses, elaborate drainage systems, water supply systems, and clusters of large non-residential buildings.[4]
The Indus Valley Civilization is also known as the Harappan Civilization, after Harappa, the first of its sites to be excavated in the 1920s, in what was then the Punjab province of British India, and is now in Pakistan.[5] The discovery of Harappa, and soon afterwards, Mohenjo-Daro, was the culmination of work beginning in 1861 with the founding of the Archaeological Survey of India in the British Raj.[6] Excavation of Harappan sites has been ongoing since 1920, with important breakthroughs occurring as recently as 1999.[7] There were earlier and later cultures, often called Early Harappan and Late Harappan, in the same area of the Harappan Civilization. The Harappan civilization is sometimes called the Mature Harappan culture to distinguish it from these cultures. By 1999, over 1,056 cities and settlements had been found, of which 96 have been excavated,[8] mainly in the general region of the Indus and Ghaggar-Hakra Rivers and their tributaries. Among the settlements were the major urban centres of HarappaMohenjo-daro (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Dholavira,Ganeriwala in Cholistan and Rakhigarhi.[9]
The Harappan language is not directly attested and its affiliation is uncertain since the Indus script is still undeciphered. A relationship with the Dravidian or Elamo-Dravidian language family is favored by a section of scholars,[10][page needed][11]while others suggest an Austroasiatic language related

The city has an estimated population of over 23.5 million people as of 2013,[1] and an area of approximately 3,527 km2 (1,362 sq mi),[7][8]resulting in a density of more than 6,000 people per square kilometre (15,500 per square mile).[9] Karachi is the 3rd-largest city in the world by population within city limits,[10] the 7th largest[11][12] urban agglomeration in the world and the largest city in the Muslim world.[13] It is Pakistan's centre of banking, industry, economic activity and trade and is home to Pakistan's largest corporations, including those involved in textiles, shipping,automotive industry, entertainment, the arts, fashion, advertising, publishing, software development and medical research.

Karachi is ranked as a beta world city.[15][16] It was the capital of Pakistanuntil Islamabad was constructed as a capital to spread development evenly across the country and to prevent it from being concentrated in Karachi.[17]Karachi is the location of the Port of Karachi and Port Bin Qasim, two of the region's largest and busiest ports. After the independence of Pakistan, the city population increased dramatically when hundreds of thousands ofMuslim Muhajirs from India fleeing from anti-Muslim pograms and from other parts of South Asia came to settle in Karachi.[18]
The city is located on the Arabian Sea coastline. It is known as the Uroos ul Bilaad "City of Lights"[19][20] and "The Bride of the Cities" for its liveliness,[citation needed] and the "City of the Quaid", having been the birth and burial place of Quaid-e-Azam, the Great Leader, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, who made the city his home after Pakistan'sindependence from the British Raj on 14 August 1947.
