- SREYA DEB

the Union ministry of culture held an international conference in Greater Noida, at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, calling for experts to share their research on the undeciphered Indus script.

Prior to that, Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin had also announced a prize money tothe tune of $1 million to anyone who would beable todecode the script. Several attempts have been made by historians and linguists around the globe, but even today the Indus script from Harappa and Mohenjo Darois an enigma.
