5:12 I'm much more interested about the tons of documents that the British took with them when they were leaving India though they burnt many of the documents but still they took tons of them with them.

[TheSupremeMind-]

Very good points. Those who looted them will never know their true value. The UN should create a rule mandating the return of the antiques. This matter actually serves as one of the numerous reasons as to why the UN is functionally inefficient.

These are not Idols. These are sculptures/deities.

[ryandegracia]

It should be back and returned home... be reunited to India 🇮🇳...
Praying for it to happen

[Zindo.Majesty.HisMajesty]

We just kept them safe while India sorted itself out.

[souviksikdar]

I don't know how those people don't feel ashamed of themselves looking at those artefacts.

Stop talking around in circles. Get the Kohinue back and the others

[ajitpani]

If they want to keep their Museum of our antiquities respecting past Indian history we construct a new antiquities for their Museum for admirers of antiquities of India .
Why not possible .
About Kohinoor diamond it was or is in respectable place in British Royal family .
If it was India the Ranjeet Singh Maharaj son would sale to any person for money or of their family members .
British colonial system had given the identity of Hindu country as India otherwise Jinha saheb was divided India into several Muslims countries .
The British colony gave freedom from Mugul rulers as Hindu country and territory of India .

Good but will all these antiquities end up with the Maino/Nehru/Gandhi mafia family and then sent to Italy? If these go to the new museum in Delhi then great.

[oddly.satisfying]

[mahi]

British have hundreds of our artifacts.... We must pressure them.. Especially during free trade agreement with uk we must ask them to give us our artifacts

[gmanjordan]

Wapis do hame crown. Hamra crown dedooo

[pranavvishnu]

Indian govt should evaluate all the state and central politician' family members wealth, if it is illegal money earned during his political career, those assets need to handover to govt. These assets has more value than statues.

[aftekharyounas]

It doesn't belong to India or Pakistan but to those who's family ruled over the Indian subcontinent for over three centuries

[methodman]

The queen of thief's pass aways and now they have the next king of thiefs 😂😂😂😂, the European royal thiefs

[ArunKumar-uyjz]
