Using research, legislative intervention and advocacy, India Pride Project has helped return artefacts, some of which were in museums across the world and others auctioned off in illicit art trades.
Sotheby’s auction will be held in Mumbai with one of modern master Tyeb Mehta’s most important works “Durga Mahisasur Mardini”; the artist's previous auction record was $3.6 million.
Nobody is safe in a market where competition is stunted and choice limited. For the industry, meaningful reform will have to start with the government itself.
Data shows re-alignment in India’s exports, with Tamil Nadu & Telangana posting strong growth in 2024-25 as traditional heavyweights Gujarat & Maharashtra see declines. Gujarat still leads, though.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
