The 'tiger claw' Wagh Nakh dagger used by Shivaji will return to India soon

The dagger that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj used to kill Afzal Khan at Pratapgad in 1659 will finally be returned to India. The 'wagh nakh' or the tiger claw dagger as it is called because of how it looks has been on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It will be returned to Maharashtra after the state's cultural minister Sudhir Mungantiwar signs an MoU with the museum that's expected to take place when he visits London later this month.
