Around 5000 years old Indus Valley Civilisation has been found in the …………… district of Haryana.

Ranchi
Hisar
Kurukshetra
Angirus

The correct answer is: B. Hisar

The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. Along with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia it was one of three early civilizations of the Old World.

The IVC was centered on the Indus River valley, which flows through the present-day Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Sindh and eastward into northwestern India, where it joins the Ganges River. The civilization extended to the northwest as far as the Ghaggar-Hakra River in present-day Pakistan and the east as far as the Yamuna River in present-day India. It covered an area of over 1.25 million square kilometers (480,000 sq mi), making it one of the largest civilizations of its time.

The IVC was a highly developed civilization with a complex urban structure, sophisticated system of writing, and advanced technology. Its cities were well-planned and had a grid-like layout. The IVC people were skilled in agriculture, pottery, metalworking, and stone carving. They also had a well-developed system of trade and commerce.

The IVC declined around 1900 BCE, for reasons that are not fully understood. Some possible causes include climate change, invasion, or internal conflict. The IVC was succeeded by the Vedic period, which saw the rise of Hinduism and the Aryan people.

The Indus Valley Civilization was first discovered in the late 19th century by British archaeologists. The first major site to be excavated was Harappa, in present-day Pakistan. Since then, over 1,000 IVC sites have been discovered, including Mohenjo-daro, Dholavira, and Rakhigarhi.

The Indus Valley Civilization is a significant archaeological site because it provides valuable insights into the development of early civilizations. It is also a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of South Asia.

The other options are incorrect because they are not districts of Haryana. Ranchi is the capital of Jharkhand, Kurukshetra is a district in Haryana, and Angirus is not a district in any Indian state.
