Which site provides some of the earliest evidence of rice cultivation in the Indian subcontinent?

Last Updated:

ALahuradewa (Uttar Pradesh)
BLothal
CKalibangan
DMehrgarh
Correct Answer: Lahuradewa (Uttar Pradesh)Your Answer: A

Explanation

Lahuradewa in Uttar Pradesh has yielded very early evidence associated with rice cultivation, making it a safer modern answer than the older textbook claim centred only on Koldihwa. Lothal has rice husk evidence, Mehrgarh is known for early wheat and barley, and Kalibangan for a ploughed field. Therefore the other options either belong to another chronological phase, a different site, or an older interpretation that does not best fit the evidence.
