Detailed explanation-1: -Most scholars agree that the Indus script was generally read from right to left, however, some exceptions wherein the script is written left to right or in a boustrophedon mode are also known.
Detailed explanation-2: -All the seals have pictures of animals with something written in a pictographic script (which is yet to be deciphered). Chiefly, the animals represented are tigers, elephants, bulls, bison, goats and so on. Most of the seals have been written on both sides. The writings are in the Kharosthi style (right to left).
Detailed explanation-3: -Harappans knew the art of writing. Their script is found on seals, in moulded terracotta and on pottery, not yet deciphered. The Indus texts are very short-the average length of the inscriptions is less than five signs. It has no bilingual text and was generally written from right to left.
