India got a special gift from the G20 summit, Maratha Chhatrapati Shivaji's historical Vaganakh will return from Britain

Many beautiful and historical heritages reached Britain during British rule, and talks are underway to bring them back. India has had a big success in this. In fact, the Union Culture Ministry has said that a rare artifact related to Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji will be brought back from the United Kingdom.

In a post on social media X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, the ministry said, "The return of our precious artifacts is a major victory for India's diplomatic efforts." "Our glorious heritage returns. Get ready to see history in the making as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's famous 'Wagh Nakh' is all set to make its triumphant return," the ministry said in its post.

The ministry also shared a poster with the tagline 'India reclaims its history'. The poster states that 'Wagh Nakh' was used to defeat Afzal Khan.

According to the information, on October 1, the Archaeological Survey of India and other officials will go to London and sign an MoU to bring the Wagh Nakh back to India. At present, it is kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum, in Britain.
