India Gets Back Historic Chola-Era Leiden Copper Plates After 160 Years | NEXT IAS

Описание: After remaining in the Netherlands since 1862, the historic Anaimangalam Copper Plates - also known as the Leiden Copper Plates - have finally been returned to India during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Netherlands. These Chola-era inscriptions linked to Rajaraja Chola I and Rajendra Chola I reveal fascinating details about India’s maritime connections with Southeast Asia, Buddhist institutions in Nagapattinam, and the cultural influence of the Chola Empire. The copper plates also highlight religious tolerance, Chola diplomacy, and the rich heritage of ancient South India. An important topic for UPSC Art & Culture and Ancient Indian History preparation.
