Usaha untuk Membawa kembali Patta sang Buddha dari Afghanistan?
« on: 26 December 2011, 08:42:50 AM »
PATNA: A serious effort is being
made to bring back the alms bowl
of Lord Buddha, which was
enshrined at Vaishali until the first
century AD and is currently
preserved at the Kabul Museum in
Afghanistan.
Former Union minister and RJD MP
Raghuvansh Prasad Singh has
been trying for over six months to
procure the priceless treasure of
Bihar from Afghanistan.
Singh had raised this issue in the
Lok Sabha this year and also wrote
a letter to the external affairs
minister, S M Krishna. "In reply,
Krishna asked for the 'provenance'
of this holy relic of Buddha. In
response to Krishna's query, I also
made an in-depth study of this
subject," Singh, an MP from
Vaishali, told TOI over phone from
New Delhi.
Documents available with the TOI
said the Indian embassy in Kabul
has made inquiries into the
matter. It is learned that the
begging bowl was in Kandahar
until the regime of former
president Najibullah. It was later
brought to Kabul and is currently
in the Kabul Museum.
"We are consulting the
Archaeological Survey of India
regarding the 'provenance' of the
bowl as also our legal and treaties
division regarding the legal
aspects of the issue of recovery of
an Indian item of archaeological
and historical value," Krishna said
in a letter to Singh.
The letter also said that the bowl is
rather large and has inscriptions in
Arabic and Persian. Singh also
strengthened his point by sending
two expert reports - one by ASI' s
former director general Alexander
Cunningham and another by
former Bihar chief secretary and
Lokayukta, the late S V Sohoni, to
the external affairs minister.
Sohoni in his write-up on "The
alms bowl of Buddha from
Vaishali" categorically said: "While
dealing with some problems of
Vaishali history, I had come across
Cunningham's account of available
information concerning the famous
alms bowl of the Buddha, which
according to the Buddhist
traditions, had been carried by
Kaniska I from Vaishali to
Peshawar in the second century
AD.
According to Cunningham, the
bowl was probably carried off by
the people of Gandhara, who
migrated westwards to the banks
of Arghandab in the ancient
'Arachosia', where they founded a
city named after their original
country Gandhara, which still
exists as the Old Kandahar, at a
short distance from the modern
town of that name.
Cunningham described this bowl
as a "huge bowl" carved out of a
block of dark green serpentine.
Experts say that the bowl seems
similar to the one in an Ajanta
fresco painting of Vakataka period
(3rd century AD).
Singh has urged the experts of
various universities, including the
JNU, DU, PU and BHU, to find out
the actual history and details of
the ancient bowl. He has also
requested the ASI DG, Gautam
Sengupta, to take sincere initiative
to bring it back.
"Celebrated Chinese travellers Fa
Hien and Xuan Zang had also made
references to the Vaishali's
begging bowl in their travel
accounts," Singh told TOI. "Buddha
attained 'parinirvana' in 483 BC
and from that time, for six
centuries, i.e . till the first century
AD, the bowl was a prized
possession of Vaishali," Singh said.
