India is famous for seizing stuff like this. The tax man cometh.

Better the Indian tax man now than British back then, I guess - maybe some of this stuff will end up in Indian museums where it belongs.

You are right on! The Kohinoor diamond, the Blue diamond, and many other world famous diamonds have origins in Indian mines, and now reside in British hands. Going back a few years, India was the only country with diamond mines. No wonder Columbus was looking for India!
