France returned three human skulls to Madagascar on 26 Aug 2025. One skull belonged to a Malagasy king who was beheaded by French troops in 1897. The skulls were kept in a Paris museum for over a century. This is the first time France has returned such remains after a 2023 law was passed. The return is part of efforts to address colonial-era wrongs. The skulls will now be in Madagascar, respecting the memory of those who died. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 11:37 IST; source: link)
