Just a technical note. The oldest Indus valley writings we have date to the middle of the first millennium BCE, so to say that the Indus valley "has a well known history" dating back to 3100 BC is somewhat misleading. We know a little about ancient Indus valley civilizations, but not enough to describe their history as well-known.
Actually, we have samples of Indus Valley scripts from the the 4th millennium BCE. Wikipedia offers the citations. In fact the writing system appears to have gone extinct well before the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE.
The corpus of Harappan script remains largely Undeciphered, and in any case does not appear to contain chronicals or political dosuments, so the internal history of Indus Valley civilization prior to 1st millennium BCE is necessarily not as well known as those of some others as others. But we do have an outline of the culture, the scope, the economy, and the influence of Harappan civilization to discern its age and its role as one of the main center of Bronze Age civilization and exerted substantial cultural influence on later civilizations on Indian subcontinent.
