The University of Oxford has returned the ancestral remains of 39 Naga people to representatives of Nagaland after they were held in its Pitt Rivers Museum for more than a century. The formal handover took place on Monday in Oxford, marking a historic step towards reconciliation and healing. The remains were taken during British colonial rule, mainly between 1910 and 1940, by colonial administrators. The return followed six years of discussions led by Naga community groups and tribal representatives. The remains will be taken to Nagaland and laid to rest at a designated site in Kohima, honouring their ancestors and heritage. (PC: The Hindu)
