The Indus Valley rose on the rhythm of floods — and fell when that rhythm changed. This episode traces how the Indus, Sutlej, Ghaggar‑Hakra and tributaries sculpted settlement patterns, supported cities like Harappa and Mohenjo‑Daro, and ultimately forced migration when rivers shifted and monsoons weakened. Using archaeology, satellite imagery, and paleoclimate science, we reveal how floods built—and sometimes destroyed—civilization.
