Q. Consider the following statements regarding Harappa script:
1.It was pictographic and logo-syllabic.
2.Harappan writing was boustrophedon.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanation: The Harappan script was pictographic and logo syllabic (each symbol stood for a word/syllable).
- Harappan writing was boustrophedon, that is to say, right to left and left to right in alternate lines. The Harappan script has not been deciphered so far.
- The evidence of a common script however points to great cultural integration, and its virtual disappearance by c.1700 BCE hints at the lack of sufficient downward percolation of writing.
