Although there is no concrete evidence or consensus on the exact reason for the collapse of the Harrapan civilization, many scholars believe that it was likely a sudden catastrophic event such as an earthquake, drought, or invasion rather than a gradual decline or natural disaster like flooding. There is also no evidence of a volcanic eruption or Aryan invasion being the primary cause.
