Hello,
I am starting a thread to post news about the recovery of stolen Indian artifacts from overseas.
Such news gets posted in other threads & is lost.
Requesting all members to post relevant news items/articles here.
The UK authorities have agreed to return the 'Wagh Nakh', a dagger shaped like tiger claws which was used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to kill Bijapur Sultanate's general Afzal Khan in 1659.
To formalise the return, state cultural affairs minister Sudhir Mungantiwar will be visiting the Victoria and Albert Museum in London later this month to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU).
If all goes according to plan, the renowned wagh nakh may be back in its rightful place this year.
