History Coming Alive in News Through Theft Cases

---

This is another way that History is coming into news. A watch gifted to Ex Prime Minister, Late Lal Bhadur Shastri by Alexei Kosygin of Russia when he was in Tashkent Conference in 1966 is stolen.

Sometime back, the Nobel Prize medal awarded to Guru Rabindranath Tagore was stolen. The case was given to CBI but it was closed without any result.

However, what may be the conspiracies behind it, such thefts bring History into news.

Is it not surprising that there is no Conspiracy theories in India? History is an opinion but different from myths. India has always tried to live the myths. India has lived the myths of their heroes who are infallible and therefore their history is sacred without blemish of conspiracies. But, why is it that thieves know better than the nation and disappear with the items which were symbols of the greatness of the Indian heroes. The stolen items are not recovered. But no conspiracy is pursued with the aim of reaching the actual truth. The ambiguity is preserved but thieves escape with the symbols.

Will these stolen items will again bring into news the history again?!!!
