Stolen Splendors of Indian Maharajas
3. Sword of Tipu Sultan:
Tipu Sultan lost his sword during a war with Nairs of Travancore, from there the sword travelled to the Nawab of Arcot and then to London. After about two centuries the sword was kept for auction in 2004 in London when the Indian industrialist-politician Vijay Mallya bought it along with some other historical artifacts and this symbol of power came back to India.
