Here Are Some Things That Should Belong To India But Don’t


Recently, the issue of several Indian treasures and artifacts languishing abroad due to different laws has been coming into the limelight. We all know about the long and as-yet unsuccessful struggle to get the Kohinoor Diamond back from the British to more familiar shores. There are, however, quite a few other figures, sculptures and treasures in foreign lands that, when you think about it, rightfully belong to India.



3. Kohinoor Diamond

Currently resides in Buckingham Palace
The priceless diamond was surrendered to the Queen of England. However, just like the queen, that treaty is also now obsolete, and it is widely regarded that the diamond should indeed belong to India.

4. The Sultanganj Buddha

Currently resides in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
This large period sculpture, dated to be from between 500 to 700 AD, was found in 1861 by excavators while building the East Indian Railway. The statue was sent to Birmingham, where it now resides, and has been rechristened the Birmingham Buddha. However, the ASI has been trying hard to get it back to India.
