if you can make a video then plz try that.. there are many... and forward it to s.swami at least he cans start prosecution..
Simple slide video of diamonds pics, their history and present..As these are wealth looted during imperialism. Now as democratic govt have taken over so western power should aplogize and give these back..Like they formally apoligize of Nazi crimes, Jalayanwala bagh, etc.. I am not sure about legality of issue but at least public awareness is necessary..video on what ?
All the subcontinent had to give back then were stones, since its rulers and intelligentsia clearly had nothing in the way of technology or sciences to provide.
Orlov diamond is not mentioned here, it is from the Sri Rangam temple, was the eye of the diety:
You mean like how they learnt from our education system, or learning surgery techniques, or metallurgy or rocketry (tippu sultan) or basic personal hygiene things like shampoo, or earlier mathematics and other things, ship building, or weaving techniques far superior to ones in the west...etc
The list is endless in terms of knowledge. Please dont be ignorant.
Hyderabad was not rich bro, it is the nizam of hyd who was richest in the world ( ofcource he owned some of the most precious diamonds that were excavated from kollur valley ) , though he along with his family lost most of his wealth in the days followed ..
The Nizam was a big blood-sucker among the feudals of that time who were probably smaller blood-suckers. The wealth was not accumulated through any hard work. Then the sorry sods ended up gifting things away to the colonisers, just to protect their thrones. Not everything was stolen or plundered by invaders.
Actually no...most of these were after Renaissance, esp education (what allowed their masses to be educated, even post 18th century, less than 1% of their public were educated) and medicine, while metallurgy wise steel was considered top quality even in early 20th late 19th century, and continued to be studied quite extensively.The list is endless in terms of knowledge prior to their renaissance.
Agreed, also more importantly playing politics with each other.Fat good all that knowledge did when the leadership was busy in women and wine whilst the british romped through our lands.
Dont blame others for your own problems, if a few thousand bureaucrats and soldiers can dominate a nation many many many times its size then you have serious internal problems.These diamonds are nothing but worthless stones when compared to what foreigners looted us off. The Knowledge, the very pride we had in our culture and self respect.

As for Diamonds/minerals etc then anything done in the past is in the past and if the nations where these originated from couldnt get these out themselves or didnt care to then thats there own problem, cant complain about not owning something you didnt find.
