When people speak of Sindhi civilization, they have to concern themselves mainly with the material and concrete side of human habitation, of which Sindhi culture is the only essence called the superstructure. This is the pre-Aryan period, about 3,000 years BC, when the urban civilization in Sindh was at its peak.

The excavations of Mohen-Jo-Daro have unfolded the city life of a civilization of people with values, a distinct identity, and a distinct culture. Recent research has traced the Indus Valley civilization to even earlier ancestry.
