The following question based on indus valley civilization topic of indian history mcq
- The Harappans used ideograms i.e., a graphic symbol or character to convey the idea directly.
- Some inscriptions are thought to have followed the boustrophedonic style.
- The inscriptions are thought to have been mostly written from left to right.
(a) 2 and 3
(b) 1 and 2
(c) 1 and 3
(d) 1, 2 and 3
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
The inscriptions are thought to have been mostly written from right to left, but sometimes follows boustrophedonic style. A written pictographic language also existed as is evidenced by the Indus scripts written on clay seals.
We see rectangular Harappan seals in the Indus region, round Solutions Harappan seals in Bahrain and one combination Harappan script/Akkadian illustration cylinder seal in Mesopotamia, which is further evidence of intercultural contact. The scripts appeared as early as c.3300-2800 BC in the Ravi Phase at Harappa. We can assume with some degree of confidence that these were used in trade to mark ownership.
However, the Indus seals are not extensive, there is no Rosetta stone-like object and it is different to any other known language. Recent studies suggest that the Harappan script consists of about 400 signs and that it was written from right to left. However, the script has not been deciphered as yet. We do not know the language they spoke, though scholars believe that they spoke “Brahui”, a dialect used by Baluchi people in Pakistan today.
However further research alone can unveil the mystery and enable us to know more about the Harappan script.
