Auctions


I'm angry , frustrated to our ability to buy this statement of buying artfacts from Christy's ,Southebys, etc. It's so ironic that we know that British stole our things from our land and now we pay more to buy the same ancestors property. But at the same time what else can be done ? nothing that I can think of. 'Kohinoor' diamond is still with the queen of England and I'm sure more immeasurable artfacts are in Palace of the queen which Britain stole from Africa, Asia, America, australia etc.

The duke, lords, governor, viceroy's all who were posted in India during colonial time, I'm sure their family is still holding to gems and jewels of our ancestors which they had got into pocessions through their political pressures on the Kingdoms in India.

So everytime their is recession on England and West we'll keep finding our jewellary, artfacts, statues, gems, etc. in the auctions houses which will be bought by preferably by Indians at highest price. Mahatma Gandhi's belonging was also one of the items to come at recession.

Just a vivid thought about auctions..

cheers
