'Give Kohinoor back': Heated debate on UK show [WATCH]
Queen Consort Camilla will reportedly not wear the Queen Mother's crown embedded with the Kohinoor diamond for Britain's King Charles's coronation. The announcement by the Buckingham Palace has rekindled the debate on whether the Kohinoor should be given back to India- or not.
On a UK TV show, writer and broadcaster of GB News Emma Webb argued that the Kohinoor diamond's ownership can be disputed while fellow broadcaster Narinder Kaur counters saying, "You do not know history."
"The ruler was also the ruler of Lahore so is Pakistan going get a claim on it?" Emma Webb asked. “They stole it from the Persian empire. The Persian empire invaded the Mughal empire so this is a contested object,” Emma Webb added.
Here's the video:
The kohinoor diamond was founded in Indian soil. It represents to the British their dark brutal colonial history. They have NO BUSINESS in continuing to benefit from colonisation. The UN recognises the right of a country to reclaim its treasures. https://t.co/uL3FfoqvzC

In response, Narinder Kaur said, "You do not know history. It represents colonisation and bloodshed. Give it back to India. I don't see why an Indian child from India has to travel all the way to the UK to look at it and pay for it."
Sharing the video of the debate, Narinder Kaur tweeted, "The Kohinoor diamond was founded in Indian soil. It represents to the British their dark brutal colonial history. They have NO BUSINESS in continuing to benefit from colonisation. The UN recognises the right of a country to reclaim its treasures."
