Our artifacts are being stolen, since hundred of years. Many foreign museums have galleries of Indian coins, swords, caskets, previous stones, carpets, marble inlays, idols and jewelry. When and how did they go there none knows? They were probably looted pirated or just received as gifts unwillingly. To name a few – the Kohinoor, The Peacock Throne, The Taimur Rubby, The Bababar, The Bhawani Sword, the Calligraphic motifs bedecked in the marble canopies, decorative structures and Pillars.
The British museum and the Tower of London accommodate many. Some say 7000 or so who knows exact details.
The only methodology available to scholars is to go through thousands of references in books, libraries and concerned departments abroad, if they are willing to corporate.
How Dr. Vijay Mallya could bring back the Sword of Tipu Sultan, is an eye opener to the politicians and their ambassadors abroad. The answer is we need many Vijay Mallyas.
