[Leica] IMG: His Ancestor?

[Douglas Barry]

Jayanand, can't really argue on morality of the looting, but there turned 
out to be an upside to it. Those wonderful bulls still exist rather than 
being lost forever - like the Buddhas of Bamiyan. Coming from a country that 
was under English rule for 700 years, I know all about the receiving end. 
But, hey, there is an upside too: I speak almost perfect English!
