Practice questions
Q1After the partition of India in 1947, which of the following archaeological sites remained on the Indian side?
Kalibangan, an important Indus Valley site, is in present-day Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan and therefore remained on the Indian side after the 1947 partition. Harappa is in Punjab province of Pakistan. Mohenjodaro is in Sindh, Pakistan. Ganeriwala is associated with the Cholistan region, also in present-day Pakistan. The question is asking only about the post-partition location of the listed archaeological sites, not about their cultural importance within the Indus civilisation.
Q2Which of the following archaeological sites of the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation is in Pakistan?
Harappa is one of the major Indus-Saraswati or Harappan Civilisation sites and is located in present-day Pakistan, in Punjab province. Dholavira is in Kachchh, Gujarat, and is within India. Kalibanga is in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan, also in India. Raipur is not the Pakistan-based Indus-Saraswati site intended by the question; it is generally known as a place name in India and is not comparable here to Harappa. Therefore, the site in Pakistan is Harappa.
