Whether or not India is capable of ending poverty has nothing to do with a bunch of gold in a hole. There is already more than enough for everyone if there was the political will to end poverty. The issue is distribution and management of resources, not buried treasure.

Look at how many other nations have had billions or trillions of dollars of raw materials buried in the ground and still haven't done anything to end poverty in their borders.

Not a goddamn thing left in that vault guaranteed. You honestly believe these mfers gonna just sit there knowing there’s a vault with untold treasures/gold inside? That shyt been gone, that’s why it remains “unexplored.”

Didn’t the British steal the biggest diamond ever known to man from a Hindu temple and made the royal crown out of it

Not a goddamn thing left in that vault guaranteed. You honestly believe these mfers gonna just sit there knowing there’s a vault with untold treasures/gold inside? That shyt been gone, that’s why it remains “unexplored.”

All the other vaults have been opened and have known stuff worth billions sitting inside them and they ain't been emptied yet.

While vault B remains unopened, vaults A, C, D, E and F were opened along with some of their antechambers. Among the reported findings, are a three-and-a-half feet tall solid pure golden idol of Mahavishnu, studded with hundreds of diamonds and rubies and other precious stones.[36] Also found were an 18-foot-long pure gold chain, a gold sheaf weighing 500 kg (1,100 lb), a 36 kg (79 lb) golden veil, 1200 'Sarappalli' gold coin-chains that are encrusted with precious stones, and several sacks filled with golden artifacts, necklaces, diadems, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, gemstones, and objects made of other precious metals.[37][38][39][40] Ceremonial attire for adorning the deity in the form of 16-part gold anki weighing almost 30 kilograms (66 lb), gold coconut shells studded with rubies and emeralds, and several 18th century Napoleonic era coins were found amongst many other objects.[2] In early 2012, an expert committee had been appointed to investigate these objects, which include lakhs of golden coins of the Roman Empire, that were found in Kottayam, in Kannur District.[41] According to Vinod Rai, the former Comptroller-and-Auditor-General(CAG) of India, who had audited some of the Temple records from 1990, in August 2014, in the already opened vault A, there is an 800 kg (1,800 lb) hoard of gold coins dating to around 200 B.C, each coin priced at over ₹2.7 crore(US$410,000).[42] Also found was a pure Golden Throne, studded with hundreds of diamonds and other fully precious stones, meant for the 18-foot-long Deity.[43] According to varying reports, at least three, if not more, solid gold crowns have been found, studded with diamonds and other precious stones.[44][45][46] Some other media reports also mention hundreds of pure gold chairs, thousands of gold pots and jars, among the articles recovered from Vault A and its antechambers.[47]

This revelation has solidified the status of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple as the wealthiest place of worship in the world.[48] It is conservatively estimated that the value of the monumental items is close to ₹1.2 lakh crore or ₹1.2 trillion(US$18 billion). If the antique and cultural value were taken into account these assets could be worth ten times the current market price.[49]

Those findings were from a team approved by the Supreme Court of India to catalogue the temple's holdings, so it seems legit.

I'd believe it if some stuff has been stolen from the vaults, but I seriously doubt it's empty.

British stole a LOT from India. Look at this graph:

India used to be the wealthiest nation on Earth until the 1700s. Then notice how it squeezes straight down in the 1700s at the same moment that blue UK line gets way thicker. They basically forced India to stop doing anything for their self-improvement and just produce raw goods for Britain instead, and it was downhill from then on.

They also stole the diamonds in the royal crown from Sierra Leon and other African Nations

India and China used to be the richest places on the planet, literal paradises on Earth. Now they are slowwwwwly getting back to that. Well in the case of China I don't know because they seem to have taken a more authoritarian path but we'll see.
