Some people argued that the historical artefacts should be returned to the country of origin while other argue that it should remain where it is right now. I agree with the following notion and in the upcoming paragraphs. I will support my views with some relevant examples before reaching to a meaningful conclusion.
Firstly, many people have sentiments and emotional attached to the objects which were taken away from their country in the past. Besides, this also exhibits the nation history and cultural values. For example, during the British rule in India, the idol of lord Vishnu was stolen from the temple and is now being displayed in a museum of London. many people believe that the ideal place of the statue should be in the temple from where it was stolen rather than a museum. Due to this many Indian citizens are putting pressure on the government to bring those items back.
Secondly, the items can be used as a building and improving the relationship between the two countries. Also, it helps to bring peace and harmony between them. For instance, when the ties between France and Egypt were not at their best, prime minister of France decided to return mummies which were captured during world war 1. In order to normalise their relationship. Due to this talks resumed between these two sovereign states after a decade.
To conclude, bringing back the historical artefacts not only boost the relationship between states but also bring happiness in the society as many sentiments and culture values are attached to it.
