Mother Theresa will remain in India
Mother Theresa's remains will stay in India despite a demand by the Albanian government to return them. She was born in Skopje in 1910 (now Macedonia) and left her birthpace in her teens for Ireland. In 1929, Mother Theresa landed in India to teach at a girls' convent in Darjeeling. She achieved Indian citizenship in 1951. She is at rest in Kolkata (Calcutta).
