plots


I heard recently that there are over five million British bodies buried in India.

I'm thinking about the Crown Jewels, about the incredible collections of jewellery in British Museums.

They dug up precious stones and filled the ground with bones.

  3. yes Mati, many of the precious stones that now sit in the Tower of London and other collections came from India. I think the most famous one is the Koh-i-Noor diamond.
