Abstract
Communication among individuals and societies is often linked with the human instinct of
satisfying various needs such as food, shelter, clothes and self-protection. This distinctive
ability of humans passed through various evolutionary stages to enable them to use abstract
symbols to discuss concepts that sum up many aspects of human lives. This research paper
intends to lime light the mode of communication in the Indus Valley Civilization. The paper
throws light on the much debated system and tools of communications used by the people of
the Indus Valley. The study goes through the Indus Script to develop an insight into the
writing system in terms of associated languages. Seals and Inscriptions as means of
communication are taken into account to deepen insight into the culture of communication.
Symbols, signs and icons used as tools of communication in the Indus Valley are also brought
under argument in this paper. A brief account of the problems associated with the nondeciphering of the seals has also been given space in this particular research.
