Government
Even though the Indus River Valley civilization's government is somewhat of a mystery, we do know that they had some what of a central government, because of the lay out of the city that was so much the same between all of the cities.
We know very little about India's government. Perhaps the undeciphered seals that have been found in many places will be the key to this.
They did have Rajahs (cool word) which were the rulers of the cities. Perhaps they could have combined their systems to have one central government. Also religion was a big part of how things operated.
The Indus Valley people were not that big on schooling. Every Hindu village had an schoolmaster that would teach the boy children from when they were about five years old to when they were eight years old. To them, discipline was the essence of schooling. Yet, a Guru (which was a type of teacher) would live with his student until the student was twenty. Until then the student was required to do chores and services for the Guru. All the subjects were of a religious nature. Schooling has to do with government, because in school they learned a lot about religion, and religion was a big part of government.
The Indus priests were somewhat in charge of the government. This is because they were the highest people, when it came to social levels, and because they were the one's who made offerings to the gods. So because of this, people looked up to them.
