During King Charles III's recent visit to the US, he faced mixed reactions, including a lavish dinner on a gold plate followed by a significant snub. Amidst the royal engagements, Indian activist Mamdani took the opportunity to encourage the King to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond, a historic gem with deep ties to India.
Mamdani stated he would directly request King Charles to consider returning the Koh-i-Noor, emphasizing its cultural importance to India. This conversation around the diamond adds another layer to the ongoing dialogue about colonial artifacts and their rightful ownership.
