The job carried out by the group and government are complementary to each other! The interest on the idols and the powers to bring back them back to India can not be expected to be possessed by either government or the group! But there must be a right person there in the government who uses both the group and the govt machinery effectively to bring back the idols. There is nothing wrong in the group being interested in Hindu idols. If there is another religious group finds details about stolen antiques pertaining to other religion this group also may be used by the Government! Actually Hindu idols , that too from south India are stolen a lot. Because they are more in numbers! Who is Gopalakrishnan? Who is Dimri ? Are they part of any group? What is their interest?
Dimri and Sudha are good ( should I say, terrible/) examples of govt babus who have failed to move an inch to get their jibs done. People in the know of things are aware of the excellent work done by Vijay and Anuraag who have been not only active but also speaking at various fora across the country, creating awareness on theft and transport of Indian ( note Indian, not Hindu) artifacts. The ‘historical art curator’ who wishes to remain anonymous but likes to be quoted should be added to the list of two above
The group of individuals under Pride Project, who have worked hard to source or rediscover these stolen statues have put in tremendous work and have been instrumental in most of these jobs. They have been doing this only out of passion.
It is true that the govt has not extended their support to them, ASI and their officers will never recognize these people, because it is the ASI’s job that they are doing. What have these officers ever brought back when they worked??
And these guys have specialized in Hindu statues and temples, these officers who claim to be a mast of all have nothing tangible to show!!!
It’s time we recognize the people behind Pride Project and support them.
Even if these officers doesn’t support them, could they at least stop helping the smugglers and stop the loot!!!
