2. It is the Indus plain where an urbanized culture called the Harappan culture first developed in the subcontinent.

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Both 1 and 2
Notes: The plains of the Indus include the regions of Punjab and Sindh. Irrigated by the tributaries of the Indus River, they form a vast fertile plain that has made the region the 'bread basket' of the subcontinent. It is so called because this area is very important for the cultivation of wheat. The strategic location and prosperity of the Punjab region has attracted foreign invaders since ancient times. The Sindh region includes the lower Indus Valley and the delta. It is the Indus plain that saw the development of an urbanized culture called the Harappan culture for the first time in the subcontinent.
