The Indus river plain is the pure land of rare on earth, as the world's largest alluvial plain, the Indus river plain is India's oldest and the most developed economy and culture.In the formation of the Indus civilization in the Indus valley was an ancient agricultural civilization.Some archaeological experts in 2300 BC in the Indus civilization sites, found some unique seal.Also in the Persian gulf island of bahrain discovered from the Indus valley sites.At that time, many people grow wheat and alfalfa, peas, melons, sesame, dates and cotton, also raise cattle, horses, dogs and other domestic animals.Some animals such as cattle in Indian mythology is a very noble, is sacrosanct god symbolic significance.
