So today we are going to talk about some of these priceless things which have been stolen from our country India and are now kept safely in some other country's museum.
It is a matter of time when India was called the golden bird, the kings of our country had a lot of gold articles and with that gold they used to make things of their choice for themselves, as long as they ruled their kingdom. They keep all those things safely, but if any country wins over them, then it all goes to the winner. The British had come to India to trade, but when they saw so much gold here, they seduced the kings of India and secretly took all the valuables by train to Britain and gradually made India their slave.
Whatever happened was not right but India is a country which believes in peace and love and that is why we did not say anything. The British may have stolen some precious things of our country, but the most precious of all, our God will not be able to steal the culture of our country and this is the thing that is more emotional for us.
