PM Modi has brought back 157 priceless archaeological heritage and artefacts with him
Today Prime Minister Narendra Modi has returned from his US tour. Prime Minister Modi has returned to the country after meeting US President Joe Biden and building a friendly relationship with him and after his powerful speech at the United Nations. One more important thing about this visit of PM Modi is that during this time he has brought 157 priceless archaeological heritage and artefacts back to India. The US has handed over these 157 artifacts and antiquities to India. This generosity of America is being praised by PM Modi and India as well as the whole world.
Let us tell you that the 157 artifacts that Prime Minister Modi is bringing back were stolen and smuggled from India to America. According to an official statement, about half of these artifacts are cultural, with the other half containing sculptures that are related to Hinduism (60), Buddhism (16) and Jainism (9). These artifacts have been made in metal, stone and even terracotta. The bronze collections mainly consist of famous postures of Lakshmi Narayan, Buddha, Vishnu, Shiva Parvati and 24 Jain Tirthankaras besides rare Kankalmurti, Brahmi and Nandikesh along with some more unnamed deities.
Let us tell you, between 1976 and 2013, only 13 artefacts and antiquities came back from abroad. While more than 200 antiquities have either been returned or are in the process of being returned by the Modi government since becoming the Prime Minister in 2014. These figures are much more than just an artifact that came back between 2004 and 2014.
