    Recently several articles have appeared which state that Mohanjodado and Harappa were a part of the much widely spread SARASWATI Culture which also included DholaVira, Lothal etc. All these declined because the river Saraswati dried up due to geological changes.
    Mohanjodado happened to be discovered earlier.
