It's actually even worse than that. Due to the URAA, thousands of works
which are verifiably public domain in India have had their copyright
restored in the United States. For example, all of the works of Mahatma
Gandhi are public domain in India (since he died over 50 years ago),
however, most of

Sreejith's point is that proving the date of authorship in commonly used
religious iconography is difficult; it's also difficult to work through
the dates of derivatives of the 'original' work in order to establish
which versions have what period - if any - of copyright validity left.

unpublished. In this case the applicable copyright depends on these things.
On the other hand, wherever it was taken and no matter who took it, if the
image has been published in a jurisdiction then it is subject to copyright

Why would the creator's citizenship, or the place of its creation, be
decisive? The works of an Indian citizen are granted copyright under US law
in the United States, on a parity with the works of a US or any other

It's different for different countries. For some countries, the copyright

Not really. For instance, in Europe the copyright protection runs for
70 years from the DEATH of the author, not the first publish date.
I wonder how the citizenship of the author helps. The only thing that is of
importance in a PD claim is the date of first publishing.
