Q. The script of Indus Valley civilisation was
(a) Persian
(b) Dravidian
(c) Sanskrit
(d) Undeciphered
Ans: (d) Undeciphered
Explanation: The correct answer is (d) Undeciphered.
The script of the Indus Valley civilization, also known as the Harappan script, remains undeciphered. Despite extensive research and numerous attempts by scholars, the script has not been fully deciphered, and its meaning and language are still not fully understood.
The Harappan script was discovered on various objects such as seals, tablets, and pottery excavated from the Indus Valley sites, including Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. It is characterized by a series of symbols and signs that are arranged in a linear form.
Various hypotheses and theories have been proposed regarding the nature of the script and the language it represents. However, due to the lack of a bilingual text or a known Rosetta Stone-like artifact, the exact meaning of the Indus Valley script remains a mystery.
Therefore, the correct answer is (d) Undeciphered.
