History of India, 1700 BC – 1300 BC, The Late Harappan Phase

The Late Harappan Phase is a period of Indian history that began around 1700 BC and ended around 1300 BC.

This period is characterized by the decline of the Indus Valley Civilisation and the emergence of new cultures and settlements in the region.

The Late Harappan Phase saw the emergence of new cultures such as the Ochre Coloured Pottery Culture and the Painted Grey Ware Culture.

This period was also marked by the rise of the Vedic civilization, which is believed to have originated in the region.

During this period, the Vedic religion developed, and the Vedic language, Sanskrit, began to be used.

The Late Harappan Phase also saw the emergence of new cities, such as Hastinapur, which became the capital of the Kuru kingdom.

This was also a period of political upheaval, with the rise of the Mahajanapadas, or large kingdoms.
