Hadappa site digging was done by whom?

• A. Dayaram Sahni
• B. B. R. Ambedkar
• C. Rabindranath Tagore
• D. Mahatma Gandhi

Answer: (A)

Harappa, a major site of the Indus Valley Civilization, was first excavated by Daya Ram Sahni of the Archaeological Survey of India in the early 1920s. His meticulous digging at Harappa revealed artifacts, seals, and evidence of urban planning that showed this was a sophisticated Bronze Age culture, reshaping our understanding of ancient South Asia. This work established Harappa as a key urban center of the Indus Valley Civilization, alongside Mohenjo-daro. The other individuals listed were prominent in fields like law and social reform, literature, and politics, not archaeology, so they did not conduct this dig.
