'Banerji robbed of credit for Indus findings'

KOLKATA: In a new book, 'Rakhal Das Banerji: The Forgotten
Archaeologist', author P K Mishra has explored the “blatant theft of the credit for discovery of the Indus Valley Civilization“. Mishra also delivered a lecture at the Indian Museum on the topic.

"The accused is John Marshall, whose contribution to Indian archaeology
is immense. he was the longest serving director-general of Archaelogical survey of India from 1902 to 1928," Mishra told TOI.

“The first report on the discovery of Mohenjo Daro, submitted by Banerji in 1920, was suppressed by Marshall. So were the subsequent reports and
the final one in 1922 which Marshall edited and used as the basis of `Mohenjo-Daro and the Indus Civilization' -a monumental volume,“ he added.

“It was a blatant theft of intellectual property right, hard earned by a young Indian archaeologist, by his boss,“ Mishra said. Records say
during 1918-22, Banerji carried out a five-season excavation at Mohenjo Daro. “The world knows Marshall discovered the civilization's ruins and
it is taught in institutions. Banerji is an insignificant footnote,“ he pointed out.

“Marshall did not know much about Mohenjo Daro till May 1924. He first visited the site only in February 1925. Marshall took direct charge of
the excavation from winter 1925-26. By that time, Banerji had done all
the work a discoverer should have done." said Mishra.

Banerji had written to Suniti Kumar Chatterjee, another intellectual
icon of the time -“See, they (the British government) will not allow me
to publish anything on Mohenjo Daro. But you can write something. I am handing over to you all the material I have and all photographs. You
just write something on it and publish my interpretations. This may be a record for future generation," Mishra's book reveals.

Banerji's brillanice was recognized by British officers when he joined
ASI in 1927 as a 19 year old. He not only became a blue-eyed boy to Marshall, he was elevated to the post of superintendent of archaeology
of Pune Division in 1922. But the final report of the discovery of
Mohenjo Daro changed the colour of this bonhomie. Marshall turned
hostile. Banerji wwas shunted out to Indian Museum.

how can I access this book, I am looking since a long the research writeups on Banerji archaeological carrier.
