An Indian archaeologist, Rakhaldas Banerjee, made a groundbreaking discovery by unearthing Mohenjo-daro, a significant site of the Indus Valley Civilization, in the early 1900s. Despite his achievements, including revealing connections between Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, his legacy is overshadowed by controversies regarding his defiance of colonial protocols and alleged suppression of his findings by the Archaeological Survey of India. Banerjee’s career was marked by brilliance but marred by disputes, leading to his contributions being largely forgotten despite his importance to global history.
