Its about time
Remember looking at Hammurabi's code of law in the Louvre and feeling disconcerted.
Whole panels from the pyramids and more , plundered and now on display as an art collection.
...not to mention the outrage I feel when I think of the Kohinoor.
As hard as some would point to Bamiyan and the Taliban episode as an excuse , its about time more things like this happen

Are you hinting that more sons of the soil buy back artefacts a la KF Vijay. Just kidding. Lets look at this from England's point of view. They were an unabashed imperial nation, and they will have to live with all the relics of their imperial past, right from the kohinoor to chicken tikka. But the point is that they neednt be proud of it.
Watch this blog for a post on Inverse colonialism (in the Arbit theory section) - "arbit theory" jus like the allusion to art by duBB in ur latest post
chuckle at the stereotype of a Greek friend of a mathematician.
