New York authorities have returned over 657 stolen antiquities, valued at $14 million to India. The move comes after Mayor Zohran Mamdani raised the issue of returning the Kohinoor diamond
Really nothing to do with Mamdani, as this was an art smuggling case and not opening up the Met archives or something

Where do things go when multiple countries claim ownership to those stolen artifacts? How does one decide whether the diamond should go to India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Iran? They all claim it.

This guy screams good dude that will get good stuff done. Good pr team I’m sure is part of it, but it’s nice to see someone show good things instead of screaming about things they’re angry at.

Doubt the Indians will be thankful.

I wonder how many cities are going to start following the New York example. I’m guessing a shitload, here and abroad.
