Q. In which state, the largest number of indus valley sites was found in post-independence India?
Answer: Gujarat
Notes: Gujarat has accounted for the highest number of Harappan sites discovered in India after independence. Hundreds of Harappan sites have been found in Gujarat, including major ancient cities like Lothal, Dholavira, and Gola Dhoro. Gujarat was a major center of commerce and trade. Its long coastline and access to raw materials like copper and semi-precious stones made it an economic hub. Surkotada in Gujarat provides earliest evidence of horse remains dating back to 2000 BC. Some unique finds include a seal depicting a 3-headed animal and gold beads.
