Forgotten Indian researcher opening an ancient civilization

A Career made one of the world’s largest historical discoveries, the world’s biggest historical discoveries, marked by brightness and argument. Still forgotten today in a big way.

In the early 1900s, Raaldas Banerjee (also written with Banerji) Mohenjo-Daro – meaning “dead men” that means “dead men” in today’s Pakistan. This was the largest city of Indus Valley (Harappan), which is a developing India from India in north-eastern Afghanistan during the Bronze Age.

Banerjee, a fearless researcher and talented epigraphy, worked for the archeological research of India (ASI) when the country was under the British colonial power. The ancient artifacts, the ruins and scripts, the subcontinent had months traveling to the far corners.

However, if Mohenjo-Daro was discovered, Banerjee’s legacy was cloudy with disputes. The disobedience of the independent strip and the colonial protocols, often broke his reputation and perhaps a problem that violates the contribution of the global memory.

Interestingly, Bannerjee’s reports on Mohenjo-Daro were never broadcast by ASI. Archaeologist PK Mishra, later ASI head John Marshall, Banerjee’s findings and discovered a loan for himself, accused the head of the head John Marshall.

“The world knows that the marshal has discovered the ruins of civilization and is taught in the institutions. Banerjee is an insignificant explanation,” Profisra ” tell Periods of Indian newspaper.

In his book, Finding forgotten cities: How Indus Civilization has been foundHistorian Nayanjot Lahiri writes that Banerjee is not “diplomacy and courtesy and a high capture of feathers.” His book also sheds light on the disputes established in a timely manner.

He noted how he was once, that he tried to use a museum without confirming or knowledge of his boss in northeastern India.

Another time, Banerjee, some stone statues attempted to transfer a museum in a museum without the necessary permissions.

In another instance, he received an ancient painting for an amount without consulting with his leaders who think he paid more than necessary.

“Many talents of Banerjee also include humiliation of people in the wrong way,” Lahiri writes.

However, Banerjee remains a prominent figure between world historians and scientists in Bengal because it is related to Mohenjo-Daro.

He was born in 1885 a rich family in Bengal.

Baharampur, the city has grown, literate monuments, burning interest in history, and followed the topic in college. But there was always a lane of adventures.

Once in charge of the history of India’s history, he went to a museum in a neighboring state to study the first statues and scripts from this period.

In his book, Rahaldas Banerji’s life and workAuthor Yama Pande notes how Banerje ASI joined as an Excavation Assistant in 1910, and in 1917 in 1917 to be an archaeologist in West India.

In 1919, he was in this position in Sindh to Mohenjo-Daro. In the following years, some excavations conducted a number of excavations on the site that revealed some of the most interesting findings: ancient Buddhist stupas, coins, coins, containers and microidaries.

Between 1922 and 1923, tips on various urban settlements emerging in the region, but the most important thing, which is the most important thing, which is the most important thing – Indus Valley’s civilization revealed.

At that time, historians have not yet discovered the full scale of indus civilization, and now we know about 386,000 sq miles (999,735 km km) along the Indus River Valley.

Three seals from Banerjee’s excavations, today in Pakistan, caused pictures and scripts similar to Harappa in Punjab province. This helped to establish a connection between the two sites, shed light on the expansion of the Indus Valley civilization.

However, until 1924, Bannerjee was dried for the project, and he was transferred to East India. He did not have another connection with the site and writes in the PANDE book, when they are not involved in any excavations.

However, Nayanjot Lahiri notes that Buyerjee is transferred to his own desire after relating to questions about the costs. Could not result in several spending on several jobs.

Banerjee’s office furniture has used excavation grants to buy and considered travel expenses too.

It was recommended that his leaders and disciplinary measures could not convince. After some talks, Banerjee was given his desire and was transferred to another region.

Banerjee continued to work in eastern India. Most of the time was held in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and many important monuments were restored.

In 1927, he resigned from ASI, but his departure was controversial. During the years before the departure, the idol was suspected of theft in theft.

All in October 1925, Banerjee, Buddhist goddess, a stone idol of the goddess, began when he visited a respected Hindu shrine in the province of Mathya Pradesh. Banerjee, two low-ranking assistants and two workers, were recorded in the book of Lahiri.

However, after his visit, the idol was missing and took part in Banerjee theft. He rejected no participation in the disappearance and the investigation was launched.

After the idol, then recovered in a calcute. The work against Bannerjee was rejected and the charges were found unfounded, insisted on the resignation of Marshall.

After leaving the ASI, Banerjee worked as a professor, but his Lavish faced financial difficulties because of his lifestyle.

Historian Tapati Guha-Thakurta tell Bannerjee’s good meal, horse carts and Bannerjee newspaper to friends. In 1928, he joined the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) as a professor. Only two years later he died at the age of 45.
