Expert Answer
The following theories have been put forth by historians as possible reasons for the decline of the Harappan civilisation:
- There is a possibility that natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods or epidemics might have destroyed the Harappan sites.
- Invasions by foreign tribes, like the Aryans, might have been the reason behind the collapse of the Harappan Civilisation.
- A natural change in the course of the river Indus might have made the land infertile, hence causing a collapse of the Harappan economy and society.
