Alois Anton Führer : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alois Anton Führer Alois Anton Führer (26 Nov. 1853, Limburg an der Lahn, Germany - 5 Nov. 1930 Binningen, Switzerland) was a German Indologist who worked for the Archaeological Survey of India. He is known for his archaeological excavations, which he believed proved that Gautama Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal. ==Appointment in India and archaeological activities==
Führer came out to India in 1885 and on his arrival Alfred Comyn Lyall appointed him Curator of the Lucknow Provincial Museum. Führer started work in March and immediately set about improving the museum. Impressed by the changes, Lyall, the Chair of the Museum's Management Committee, wrote to Calcutta asking whether a part-time job for Führer could be found with the Archaeological Survey of India.〔Andrew Huxley,"Dr Führer's ''Wanderjahre'': The Early Career of a Victorian Archaeologist,“ ''Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society'' 20.4 (2010), pp 489-502, see note 18 citing India Office Records, Archaeology and Epigraphy, Proceedings 4-18, File no. 6 of 1898, but however add Part B.

The same events with some further details in Charles Allen, ''The Buddha and Dr Führer'' (London: Haus, 2008), p. 33 but without supporting references.〕 He thus came to hold a double appointment, one as Curator at the museum and the other as Archaeological Surveyor to the North-Western Provinces. As his Progress Reports show, he was part of the N-W.P. and Oudh Circle of the Archaeological Survey. In 1896 he received permission from the government of the North-Western Provinces and Oudh and the Government of India to carry out an expedition to Nepal. Accompanied by the local Nepalese governor, General Khadga Shamsher, Führer discovered Ashoka’s pillar, an inscription on which, together with other evidence, confirmed Lumbini as the birthplace of the Buddha. This discovery was disputed in a 2008 book by British writer Charles Allen.
