Script of the Harappan Civilization | Dr. Nisha Yadav | ASC IITGN

Abstract: The Harappan Civilization is one among the four Bronze Age civilizations of the old world. One of the enigmatic aspects of the Harappan Civilization is its script, that has defied decipherment. Several attempts have been made in the past to decipher the Harappan script but there is no consensus about its content. The lack of definite knowledge about its structure makes it difficult to objectively evaluate any claim of decipherment. In the present talk, the speaker will provide a brief overview of the material on which the Indus texts have been inscribed and discuss the computational studies of the Harappan script. The study aims to explore the structure of the Indus writing without making any assumptions about its content. The study also provides a glimpse of the nature and style of the writing of the Harappan Civilization. Brief of the speaker Dr. Nisha Yadav is working at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Her research aims at elucidating the structure of the Indus script using computational methods and investigating its connection to other aspects of the Harappan culture. She has published several papers on Indus script in leading international and Indian academic journals. Her work has also been a subject of articles in press, journals anddocumentaries. She was awarded the INSA Young Historian of Science Award (2017) for her work on the Indus script.
