Can somebody tell me how these items reached Sothbey's.Does this mean that when the Britishers ruled India they plundered the wealth from these rulers. I salute Mr Vijay Mallya for having purchased these items which should form part of our heritage. We should all feel proud of it irrespective of caste, religion or creed. Look at it from the positive side-the contributions made by these rulers which forms the present basis of governance along with the British methods. It is the right time for these methods to be studied suitable to our method of living,customs etc. We should not forget that it is our rich cultural heritage that distinguishes our country from the rest of the world not only in the past but also in the present.
