It was 1947, preparations were made to hoist the freedom flag in India. Boxes filled with files, documents and other items were being filled in Delhi’s offices. The British officer wanted to deliver his belongings to England as soon as possible, so that no important thing would be left here. Just then, in the Balmoral Fort built between the hills of Scotland six thousand miles from Delhi, the British officer wanted to return a thing to George VI that was lost and not found till date. Let’s know what was that thing.
Transfer of power in the hands of Indians
In all the books written about India’s independence, we get to read many such stories related to the British, which are hardly written anywhere other than books. One such story has also been written about the British thing which was lost before independent India. When India’s last Foreign Minister Lord Listowel informed George VI that the transfer of power in the hands of Indians has been completed smoothly.
What did the British lose
Lord Listowel further said that the form of the rule power of the British Emperor has changed forever. Listowel told George VI that he had come to return some ancient seals. Who is the symbol of the post of state secretary. Which symbolizes the bond between the Indian Empire and the British Raj. But unfortunately those seals are no longer there. Many years ago someone had placed them in a place, which has not been found yet.
The British left an unresolved mystery
So far no one knows whether anyone had secretly kept these seals as a memento or she was lost somewhere in chaos. No one has received the answer till date. According to historians, even if these seals are found, then it will not be just pieces of metal, but will prove to be the key to many secret stories of the British Raj. In simple words, the British left India, but left a secret behind them which is still unsolved.
