Q39 (CISF/2023) History & Culture › Ancient India

Who among the following did not contribute to the preservation and documentation of the ancient site of Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh?

Explanation

The preservation of the Sanchi Stupa in Madhya Pradesh was a major archaeological success story involving the rulers of Bhopal and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Shahjahan Begum and her successor Sultan Jehan Begum provided significant financial grants for the preservation of the ancient site. Sultan Jehan Begum specifically funded the building of the museum and the guesthouse where John Marshall stayed while documenting the site. Marshall, then Director-General of the ASI, dedicated his important volumes on Sanchi to Sultan Jehan.

J.M. Kenoyer (Jonathan Mark Kenoyer) is a distinguished archaeologist known for his work on the Indus Valley Civilization (specifically Harappa) and ancient technologies, but he was not involved in the historical preservation or documentation efforts of Sanchi during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
