U.S. is returning nearly 300 smuggled artifacts to India. The 297 cultural relics dating back from 2000 BCE to 1900 CE were handed over to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a meeting with President Joe Biden in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. These are series of artifacts that this Govt has brought back from countries all over the world like Australia, Singapore, Germany and of course the US. In the past 9years Prime Minister Modi has accorded high priority to conserving our heritage and creating a new legacy. But the question is apart from those stolen during the 200 years of British Raj , why is the loot on even after the independence ? What has this government done for the repatriation of the trafficked artifacts ? And how does one protect the vast heritage of India ? Sanjeev Sanyal Member Economic Advisory Council to the PM has written about this and is actively involved in accessing old theft records, contacting relevant government authorities, and cutting through bureaucratic red tape to get the looted treasures back. He also talks about how one should relook at how we must protect our monuments from theft.
