A major repatriation effort has come to fruition in New York, with officials returning over 650 antiquities valued at a staggering $14 million to the Indian government. The artifacts, which include ancient sculptures, coins, and other historical relics, were seized by US authorities from various New York City galleries and dealers between 2007 and 2012. The repatriation is a significant victory for India, which has been working to recover its cultural heritage from the global art market. The returned items are expected to be a valuable addition to India's national museums and cultural institutions, providing a glimpse into the country's rich and diverse history.
