The problem is not that less is known about the Indus River Valley civilization; the real problem is that much of what we are told by academics about this culture is untrue. We are told that horses, Sanskrit and wheels did not exist in India/Pakistan during Indus valley times, but the truth is that every level of Harappa (and many other IVC sites) have yielded bones of true horses (Equus caballus) verified by the biologist Sandor Bokonyi. Toy oxcarts with wheels have been found at several IVC sites. As for Sanskrit and Prakrit, Indus seals deciphered as long ago as 2010 have been found to encode such common Sanskrit names as Ravi, Mani, Aprian, and so forth. See the Indus Script Dictionary page on Facebook for more details.

Much factual information about the Indus Valley civilization is being suppressed and ignored by religious and political groups. For instance, Indian textbooks which correctly stated that the language of the Indus valley was Sanskrit have been destroyed and replaced with textbooks that claim the language was Dravidian, and this was done to placate leftists and separatists. Indus script was deciphered in 2010, but none of the best-known researchers in the field of Indus script will comment on the results, which can be seen at Facebook on the Indus Script Dictionary page.

Historians know little about the Indus river valley because little is known about the civilizations or cultures that lived there. For example, we know little about the Harappans who lived in the Indus River Valley. Historians gather information about a geographic area by finding past documentaries or records about that area from different cultures. Historians have found writing and records from the Harappans. They however, haven't been able to decode the language yet.
