Sengo is a gold-plated silver sceptre, installed in India's New Parliament House. It was originally gifted to Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India on the eve of Independence, 14 August 1947, by a delegation of holy men from the Adheenam monastery. In 2023, incumbent home minister Amit Shah propagated an ahistorical narrative, wrongly claiming the Sengol as a symbol of the transfer of power from the British regime unto Indians.
