     @sim It doesn't belong to India but the EIC took it from them by forcing a child to amend a treaty to hand it over to the British sovereign. We should give it back, undoing the last transaction, and let them fight each other all over again.

     @munir I'm guessing as soon as a legitimate claim is established. In my opinion, India should have it given it was taken by political force. I make no apology for what the East India Company did as I was not responsible for their deeds, for better or worse.

     "The first verifiable record of the diamond comes from a history by Muhammad Kazim Marvi of the 1740s invasion of Northern India by Nader Shah. Marvi notes the Koh-i-Noor as one of many stones on the Mughal Peacock Throne that Nader looted from Delhi. The diamond then changed hands between various empires in south and west Asia, until being given to Queen Victoria after the Second Anglo-Sikh War and the British East India Company's annexation of the Punjab in 1849, during the reign of the then 11-year-old Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, Duleep Singh."
     
     This diamond has changed hands so many times that it makes me wonder who it really belongs to.
