It is said that time gives the answer to everything, but it also gives mysteries for us to solve. Some of them are recent, others are millennium old and some of which are truly inexplicable, still waiting for answers. Generations of scientists and researchers have confronted with many puzzling stories and events that have left them baffled over the years. Here is a list of the greatest unsolved mysteries in Indian history.
1- DISAPPEARANCE OF INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION- There are many unanswered questions about India’s most ancient civilisation that was larger than the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilisations combined. The identity of the people who created it and their puzzling 4000-year-old Indus pictographic script are still to be discovered. There are several theories about why this civilisation and all its major sites went into sudden decline and disappeared more or less simultaneously. But, none of them are convincing.

History is still unclear about his fate but questions remaining about what happened to his huge treasure that today would be worth billions.

6- NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE'S DISAPPEARANCE- Various conspiracy theories surrounding Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s death is still shrouded in secrecy and it make it even more mysterious. Netaji’s last flight from Taipei to Tokyo has been one of the greatest mysteries of free India.

Mysteriously, no post-mortem was ever conducted and no official documents about his death were ever made available to the public.
8-THE GHOST VILLAGE OF KULDHARA- 20 km to the west of Jaisalmer, there is ghost town of Kuldhara. It is said to be a prosperous town of Paliwal Brahmins a few hundred years ago. At one fatal night, all its 1500 residents left the village without a trace. No one knows exactly why but perhaps they left the village to escape from the evil ruler Salim Singh and his unjust taxes. It is also said that while leaving, they left a curse on the area that anyone who tries to stay in the village dies a brutal death and till date, Kuldhara remains uninhabited.
