Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization, is thought to have existed from 2500-1700 BCE. Harappa's discovery in 1829 CE was the first hint that such a civilization existed in India. Excavations at numerous sites associated with the Indus Valley civilization revealed the people's religious and sacred beliefs. In addition to male and female deities, we can conclude that people in the Harappan Civilisation most certainly worshipped Mother Goddess. They honoured a father God who was most likely the race's progenitor and a prototype for Siva as the Lord of the Animals. They worshipped fertility symbols like round and perforated stones before worshipping Siva and Parvathi as Sivalinga. Hence the correct statement would be, There was a sign of religion in the Indus Valley Civilisation.
