Write a short note on the Script of the Harappan people.
✓
Answer
$i.$ Historians believe that the people of the Indus-Valley civilisation were literate. Many seals have been discovered. We can note lines $($or symbols$)$ of signs on the top of several seals of the Harappan people. These are parts of what historians call a script. This is the earliest form of writing known in the subcontinent.
$ii.$ Scholars have made many efforts to read these signs $($or decipher the Harappan script$)$, but we still do not know exactly what they mean.
