Dear Sir,
I am writing this mail on behalf of lakhs of upsc aspirants who appeared in civil service prelims examination,which was conducted on 18th June 2017.We have decided to approach your good self regarding one of the question that appeared in the preliminary exams.
The question asked in exam is
With reference to the difference between the culture of Rigvedic Aryans and Indus Valley people, which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. Rigvedic Aryans used the coat of mail and helmet in warfare whereas the people of Indus Valley Civilization did not leave any evidence of using them.
2. Rigvedic Aryans knew gold, silver and copper whereas Indus Valley people knew only copper and iron.
3. Rigvedic Aryans had domesticated the horse whereas there is no evidence of Indus Valley people having been aware of this animal.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Sir as this debate about horses in Indus valley civilisation isn't settled and historians have argued both for and against it..
We have had remains of horses in surkodata,which dates to Indus valley civilisation period.Horse ashes and also terracota toys of horse have also been found.
We therefore request you,as an eminent historian of India and public spirited MP ,to intervene on behalf of aspirants and request UPSC,like you did last year, to award marks for both options A and C.and that would do justice to all aspirants .

Did you provide excerpts from R.S Sharma as well. Am thinking of doing the same by following upon your work.
We may tweet for the above cause as well, 2.67 marks is a game changer!
You can count me in for anything to be done for the above mentioned.
