WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The earliest attested writing system of India is the script of the Indus Valley civilization, dating back to c. 2500 BC. Many of the symbols are of a pictographic nature, and the number of symbols identified suggests that this writing system is logographic, possibly partially syllabic.

Detailed explanation-2: -So far, the Indus writing system could not be translated because the texts are too short, we have no bilingual inscription and we do not which language or languages were transcribed. Moreover, it is possible that it worked differently from any other writing system of the same general period.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alexander Cunningham, the first director general of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), interpreted a Harappan stamp seal in 1875.

Detailed explanation-4: -The people of this civilization were peace-loving. The society was predominantly matriarchal. There were strong family organisations among the people. Social amusements included hunting wild animals, bullfighting, fishing, and clay modelling.
