UK refuses to return Indian diamond

[Imran Khan]

Don't be so sure. I remember reading an article a few years back (can't find the reference, but it might have been National Geographic) that over the years the jewels of a number of European royals have been replaced with fakes.

damn so we have one more problim may be they return us fake koh e noor and we happy

 

[HariSeldon]

Looking at the histroy Kohinoor seems to bring bad luck to its owner. We have already lot of problems to solve. I say let UK keep it or better give to our enemy.

You mean descendants of plunderers and thieves.

Dude, because we're the largest successor state to the "countries of British India". Separation was YOUR choice. You wanted a country based on your religion.

We didn't tell you to form the separate country. Hence you lose the right and if at all it comes, it comes to us. Consider this similar to Russia being the successor permanent membe of the UNSC rather than 15 countries claiming a stake.

Burma is sanctioned, Bangladesh was not born then, that left only you and us. And we being the larger successor state have right on it.

Anyway since Britain is such a resourceless and desolate land, let them have it. Our mines can still churn out more and this time, no one can dare to take it from us.

With this kind of mentality, China would never get HK back from the British in 1997. You need to show the British where you stand. People need to grow some balls in front of those formal plunderers and thieves.

I am still waiting for for the British to return the loot they plundered from the Qing dynasty. This really pisses me off like few things do.

One day Britain will give up its superpower pretension and realize which way the wind is blowing.

The sooner people realize what the British's true face is, the better we will all be.

What a stupid question to ask, who was the idiot? Some people lack common sense.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

it was Nader Shah who conquered delhi and took it.


actually, I seem to recall reading that Z.A. Bhutto had lobbied extensively for these britishers to give us custody of the diamond (to no avail evidently).

The one of idiots you are referring to is a MP of British own parliament.

Maharaj Ranjit Singh willed the diamond to the Jagannath Puri temple but the British did not execute the will. The diamnond is excavated from Golkonda and I wonder how ZAB planned to claim it.

I recall seeing some Indian valuables looted by Nadir Shah in Istanbul royal museums. I wonder if people here have so much anger about the other plunderers and want those looters to return those items too
