SAMPLE ANSWER –
My country, India, is quite recognised for its rich and prosperous history. One such historical period was the Indus Valley civilisation that existed long back, but its prevalence was recently revealed in the 1900s by an archaeological survey. It was believed to be the core of art and culture during those days.
When I first studied this civilisation in class and the planning of this period’s urbanisation, it captivated me to a great extent. It was the first time that I took interest in history while learning about this time period. I learned that even in that era when there were limited resources available, the people of the Indus Valley civilisation enjoyed a highly developed city life.
This mysterious civilisation was situated on the banks of the river Indus in present-day Pakistan. I think that it’s an important part of the historical culture, as the town-planning and water management system which the people followed during that time is an excellent example for the modern world. Despite the absence of educational facilities, it is said that people who belonged to this time period had built well-equipped sanitary facilities and harvesting systems as well. When I further looked at the remains of artefacts of this civilisation, I was actually convinced that citizens of this civilisation led a comfortable and luxurious life.
I’m keen to learn more this time period and what led to its destruction. Though the town had well-managed farming and architectural construction, archaeologists are carrying on their research related to the specific cause of its disappearance. It is said that today’s world has a lot to learn about urbanisation and administration from the remains of the Indus Valley civilisation.
