ASI

Interestingly, Banerjee's reports on Mohenjo-daro were never published by the ASI.

Her book also sheds light on the controversies he was embroiled in during his time at the ASI.

In her book, The Life and Works of Rakhaldas Banerji, author Yama Pande notes how Banerjee joined the ASI as an excavation assistant in 1910 and rose quickly within the ranks to become a superintending archaeologist in western India in 1917.

He resigned from the ASI in 1927, but his departure was marred by controversy.

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