  • India Set To Get 500-Year-Old Bronze Idol Stolen Decades Ago; Details Here |

    The UK’s Oxford University has agreed to return a 500-year-old bronze idol of a saint believed to be stolen from a temple in Tamil Nadu to India. “On 11 March 2024, the Council of the University of Oxford supported a claim from the Indian High Commission for the return of a 16th-century bronze sculpture of Saint Tirumankai Alvar from the Ashmolean Museum. This decision will now be submitted to the Charity Commission for approval,” said a statement from the university’s Ashmolean Museum.

    The 60 cm-tall statue of Saint Tirumankai Alvar was acquired by the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford from Sotheby’s auction house in 1967 from the collection of a collector named Dr JR Belmont (1886-1981). The museum says that it was alerted to the origins of the ancient statue by an independent researcher in November last year, following which it alerted the Indian High Commission. The Indian government made a formal request for the bronze idol believed to be stolen from a temple in Tamil Nadu and found its way to a UK museum through auction. The museum, which holds some of the world’s most famous art and archaeology artefacts, says it acquired the statue in “good faith” in 1967. There have been several instances of stolen Indian artefacts being restored from the UK to India, most recently in August last year when a limestone carved relief sculpture, originating from Andhra Pradesh, and a “Navaneetha Krishna” bronze sculpture originating from 17th century Tamil Nadu, were handed over to the Indian High Commissioner to the UK following a joint US-UK investigation involving Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques Unit.

  • Who will become the national president of BJP? The search has intensified, these names are in the race

    BJP National President: The Union Cabinet has been expanded on Monday after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister for the record third consecutive time. BJP’s National President JP Nadda has also been included in the cabinet. Nadda’s three-year term ended in January last year, but then keeping in mind the election year, his term was extended till June 2024. Now after making Nadda a minister, the search for the new national president of BJP has intensified.

    Anurag Thakur

    The most surprising name in the race for BJP’s national president could be that of five-time MP Anurag Thakur. Anurag Thakur has been given the post of Sports and Information Broadcasting Minister in the previous Modi governments and before that the post of Minister of State for Finance. His performance has been good both the times. Despite this, he has not been included in the Modi cabinet this time. This has led to speculations that Modi is going to give him some big post in the organization. Anurag is the young face of BJP. To attract more youth towards itself in the upcoming assembly elections, BJP can also make Thakur the president of BJP. Due to Anurag Thakur’s high profile, it is believed that he will be given a big responsibility.
