#attrocitiesbyASI #ASI was found in 1861 headed by director general. for the past 70 yrs, this post have been occupied by upper caste #Sanskrit scholars mainly #brahman.
why no one from #OBC, #SC or #ST?
In 1945, wheeler, then director gen of #ASI found out that it is a indo-roman trade town.c.1 BCE to c.2 CE.
next jean-marie casal in 1950 studied the site for 3 yrs.
from the citations in other works it could be eatablished that he has found #arikamedu to be a megalithic site. i.e dating still early.
1990 vimala begley studies the site and claims #arikamedu being a trade town is an exaggeration. 😂
END OF EXCAVATIONS
In 2004, Ray of JNU suggests wheeler findings are true.
so thats how ASI works in south complete maniulation.
