Things stolen by British from India and other countries

Things stolen by British from India and other countries...


In this article we will explain that what the  valuable things that stolen by Britishers  from India and other countries.                   So let's start 



Ahoy, history buffs and curious minds! Let's embark on a hilarious journey through time and explore some of the most "questionable acquisitions" the British managed to 'borrow or stolen from India and other corners of the world. Hold on tight, as we dive into the treasure trove of valuable items that mysteriously found their way into British pockets!


1. Koh-i-Noor Diamond*: A Diamond's Longest Journey

First up, we have the *Koh-i-Noor* diamond. This sparkling rock once nestled among the treasures of the Mughal emperors, only to be snatched by the British like a sneaky magpie. Legend has it that the gem has brought nothing but *diamond-sized headaches* to its possessors, as if it were cursed by a disgruntled jinn. The British might have had the diamond, but did they really know what to do with it?


2. Tipu Sultan's Tiger : The Unhappy Kitty  

Ever heard of a mechanical tiger that merrily munches on a British soldier's arm? That's Tipu Sultan's Tiger for you! The British nabbed this quirky contraption during their adventures in India. Though it might look like a bizarre toy, it serves as a poignant reminder that the British didn't just take material riches but also *creative oddities.

3. Rosetta Stone : A Multilingual Heist  

Our next contender is the *Rosetta Stone*. This ancient rock-star was swiped from Egypt by the British, leaving the Egyptians scratching their hieroglyphic-covered heads. The stone served as a puzzle piece in deciphering ancient languages, making it a classic example of "you stole what now?" history.

4. Sultanganj Buddha : Buddha on a Journey  

Picture this: a massive Buddha statue, "disguised as a British ship's cargo'. Yes, you read that right! The "Sultanganj Buddha" embarked on a transcontinental voyage, only to find itself residing in London. This Buddha must've wondered if it took a wrong turn at enlightenment.

5. Codex Gigas : The Gigantic Book-napping  

In a tale straight out of a mystery novel, the British managed to "borrow" the *Codex Gigas*, a medieval manuscript, from Sweden. This gigantic book, nicknamed the "Devil's Bible," contains all sorts of bizarre content, including an eerie full-page portrait of Satan. Quite the bedtime story, isn't it?

6. Benin Bronzes : Artistic Pilfering  

Venturing to Africa, we stumble upon the *Benin Bronzes*. The British were so captivated by these magnificent artworks that they decided to *gift* themselves with a few hundred pieces. The statues probably thought they were going on a cultural exchange program, but little did they know they were in for a *permanent vacation*.


7. Samosa : The Curious Case of the Stuffed Snack  

Hold your snacks, folks! Even the humble *samosa* couldn't escape the British 'borrowing' spree. Originally from Central Asia, this delicious stuffed pastry got a taste of British culture after being introduced to India. It's like the samosa became an exchange student, only to end up in a *culinary detention center*.


8. Australian Indigenous Artifacts : A Continent's Cultural Odyssey  

Heading down under, the British decided to help themselves to a variety of *Australian Indigenous artifacts*. These items hold immense cultural significance for the Indigenous people, but the British probably thought they were just *souvenirs* from their world tour.

9. Elgin Marbles : Marbles on the Move  

Last but not least, we have the *Elgin Marbles*. These exquisite marble sculptures from ancient Greece were spirited away by Lord Elgin and his chisel-happy pals. The British Museum now houses these masterpieces, which must be feeling quite at home, even if their original address was a bit sunnier.


At last in the article we bid adieu to our whirlwind tour of borrowed  treasures, we can't help but chuckle at the audacity of the British 'borrowing' strategy. From diamonds to sculptures and even the occasional snack, these acquisitions are a testament to human ingenuity, ambition, and, well, a tad bit of thievery. Remember, folks, sharing is caring... unless you're the British Empire!


So, let's raise a cup of tea (or samosa, if you prefer) to these valuable, amusing, and sometimes bewildering acquisitions that have left a mark on history, proving that even the most valuable things can have a *humorous* side. Cheers, and may we never run out of stolen... err, borrowed stories to tell!
