Hi,
It seem the Western perception is that if the art or antique collector takes good care of the "artifacts" and holds them in great regard and puts them in a museum --it is okay.
Never mind, if that westerner had come to India --gone to historical sites and temples -photographed the idols -and later after returning to their country ordered some goons to steal the idols from temples --where they were being worshipped -- to put them in their art collection. (this has been happening in India -as the Antique Smuggler King from Jaipur confessed -with $10 million worth antiques recovered from his possession so far).
If that is okay --with Christin folks or westerners --than I too demand that the graves of Jesus Christ and other Christian saints be dug up -- I too would take great historic and scientific interest in their skeletons and hang them up for public display in India .
What do u say?
