A museum in Glasgow performs a handover ceremony to return seven items that were stolen from India during the Colonial era to the country. Dignitaries from the High Commission of India join members of Glasgow Life, the charity that manages the Scottish city's museum collections, at the transfer of ownership ceremony, following more than 18 months of talks. Six of the items were stolen from northern India in the 1800s, and a seventh was illegally purchased after being stolen from its original owners. All seven objects were looted from sacred places such as temples and shrines and given as gifts to the Scottish city's museum collections. "This stands out because this is the first time that a British museum is restituting historical artefacts, which came here decades back, to India," the High Commission of India's representative Jaspreet Sukhija says.
