The script was boustrophedon, written from right to left on one line and then from left to right in the next line. But the exact script and language is still undeciphered . Historians came to know about IVC/SSVC culture and society through various symbols embedded in seal like fish, boat, pashupati seal and sculptures like Mother Goddess etc.
Bousto what?? 
Baapre itni padhi likhi nahi main.
But right to left is in Urdu Arabic and Sindhi script
Left to right is what we use now

Most Indo European scripts are left to right, Arabic family is right to left. Cuneiform(oldest known script)was initially top to bottom before becoming left to right.
Chinese script is still top to bottom

I though don't read the link but seems ancient Sanskrit..i can read bit of Sanskrit but here script looks different
We had Sanskrit in our school
Regarding mohenjo daro it's in larkana district in Sindh nwhich is now in Pakistan.
Mohenjodaro mound of the dead that's how it was known
But rest I can't remember much now
Even if I read Google posts nothing connects me. Mesopotamia civilization Egyptian civilization etc i read in school.
Then there is one more civilization dilmun civilization in middle east.
Have u heard of it
Sanskrit that we read today is in Devnagri script. It is a very recent script developed around 12th century. Before that Sanskrit was written in Brahmi Kharoshti and later Nagri scrips.
Kindly note that language and script are two different things. What we are writing here is English language in Roman script. Same script is used to write multiple languages, for example most of European languages of today are written in same European script.

I didn't know it was boustrophedon, I was of the opinion that if was written right to left.
Thankyou for this interesting information
By the way. Renowned archeologist Dr. B.B. Lal sir who related IVC/SSVC to Vedic culture actually had given a very interesting thing in his book
He had found a part of some pottery part on which was painted a crow, a pot with little water with pebbles around
Interestingly this scene is very similar to the ancient Indian children story of thirsty crow. The crow who was thirsty and found a pot with very less water which he couldn't drink so he started filling the pot with pebbles which brought the water level up and he was able to drink it.
This means that this story is not some few hundred years old but actually over 4000 years old in our country and has been passed onto us since generations

It goes like this
किं त्वं संस्कृतं वदसि
When u talk ABT Sanskrit there is old Sindhi language tooo
It goes from right to left in Arabic style
But for us who can't read or right then it was taught in devnagri way

Let's talk IVC genetics now.
It's noted by Archaeologists, that IVC people had ancestry of Ancient Iran related and South Asian Hunter Gatherers.
You can check this paper from Nature,
https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2019.121
The DNA belongs to a woman who was buried four to five millennia ago in Rakhigarhi, now part of Haryana in India. Her genes point to an ancestry of ancient Iranians and Southeast Asian hunter-gatherers.
Most Indians have major part of this Ancestry.
