When is the British Museum returning all its 1000s of stolen artefacts to their rightful owners?
Vox: The British Museum is full of stolen artifacts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoTxiRWrvp8
Here is a snippet from: Dalrymple, William. The Anarchy (p. 21). Bloomsbury Publishing. Kindle Edition.
"The last hereditary Welsh prince, the memorably named Owain Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn, built Powis Castle as a craggy fort in the thirteenth century; the estate was his reward for abandoning Wales to the rule of the English monarchy.
But its most spectacular treasures date from a much later period of English conquest and appropriation. For Powis is simply awash with loot from India, room after room of imperial plunder, extracted by the East India Company (EIC) in the eighteenth century.
There are more Mughal artefacts stacked in this private house in the Welsh countryside than are on display in any one place in India – even the National Museum in Delhi."
