Lagbhag 2500–1750 BCE · Kansya Yug (Bronze Age) ki sabhyata · sabse badi khasiyat — shehri niyojan (town planning) aur jal nikasi (drainage). Doosra naam Harappa Sabhyata, kyunki sabse pehle Harappa khoja gaya.

03 — TRICKS

Yaad rakhne ki desi tricks

Ratta nahi — connect karke yaad karo.

TRICK 1 · NAAM MEIN CLUE
LOTHAL = "Lelo saman"

Lothal → bandargah (vyapar) · DHOlavira = "dhona" → paani (jal prabandhan).

TRICK 2 · BUDDH KI 4 JAGAH
LU-BO-SA-KU

Lumbini (janm) → Bodh Gaya (gyaan) → Sarnath (updesh) → Kushinagar (nirvan). Jeevan ke kram mein hi!

TRICK 3 · VED KA KRAM
Ri-Sa-Ya-A

Rigveda → Samaveda → Yajurveda → Atharvaveda. Aur Samaveda = Sangeet!

TRICK 4 · MAURYA KRAM
Cha-Bi-A

Chandragupta → Bindusara → Ashok = dada-papa-pota. Chanakya sirf Chandragupta ke saath.

TRICK 5 · CHINI YATRI
"H se H"

Fa-Hien → Chandragupta II (First aaya, Gupta kaal) · Hiuen Tsang → Harsha.
