Supporting citation for public claim

Harappan urban transformation coincided with monsoon weakening, recurrent drought, river change, and settlement redistribution, but the catalog does not establish a single causal chain.

Answer / theory: Likely a mix of drought, river changes, trade shifts, regionalization, and social adaptation. What supports it: Paleoclimate studies, settlement changes, and material culture shifts. What is weak or disputed: Exact causal chain. Evidence level: Mixed Evidence.
