Question:

"Marshall left India three thousand years older than he had found her". This statement was given by which of the following scholar in respect of Indus Valley Civilisation?

Options:

S.N. Roy

Daya Ram Sahni

Rakhal Das Banerji

Ernest Mackey

Correct Answer:

S.N. Roy

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1 - S.N. Roy

S.N. Roy noted in The Story of Indian Archaeology, “Marshall left India three thousand years older than he had found her.” This was because similar, till-then-unidentified seals were found at excavations at Mesopotamian sites. It was then that the world knew not only of a new civilisation (Indus Valley), but also of one contemporaneous with Mesopotamia.
