India: Indian government has planned for a legal case against Queen Elizabeth to return most precious stone, Koh-I-Noor diamond.

India’s most precious stone, Koh-I-Noor Diamond was now set in a crown belonging to Queen’s mother on public display in the tower of London. Now, Indian Government is planning to put a legal case against Queen Elizabeth to get back Koh-I-Noor diamond to India.

As per latest updates, an Indian lobby group which consists of Indian businessman and actors is escalating up a legal case against Queen Elizabeth II demanding the return of the crown jewel. It is India’s effort and it was found in India nearly 800 years ago and later it was given to Queen Victoria during the Raj.

This case comes forward after Prime Minister Narendra Modi is travel to United Kingdom on a three day tour. This is most precious and world famous 105-carot stone and it costs nearly 100m euros. As per latest updates, David de Souza who is co-founder of the India vacation group Titos is helping to endowment the new legal action has instructed British lawyers to begin High court proceedings.

Yesterday David de Souza in a press meet told that, “The Koh-i-Noor is one of the many pieces taken from India under uncertain circumstances. Occupation did not only rob our people of wealth, it destroyed the country’s soul itself. It brutalized society, traces of which linger on today in the form of mass poverty, lack of education and a host of other factors.

This legal action coincides with prime ministers Narendra Modi visit to the UK in this week, which includes a lunch hosted by the queen at Buckingham palace. The Koh-I-Noor, which means “mountain of light”, was the largest cut diamond in the world and had been passed down from one ruling dynasty to another in India.

The British government has previously rejected all demands for the return of Koh-I-Noor, and in 2013 British Prime Minister David Cameron while on a visit to India, defended Britain’s right to keep it saying he did not believe in “returnism.”
