The British SHOULD NOT Return the Kohinoor

Recently, after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, a debate has been revived. A lot of people are demanding that the British return should the Kohinoor Diamond to its original owners. Here’s my two cents, as someone from Pakistan which was a part of British India, well, they shouldn’t.

Thanks! "The most precious thing they stole from us was time" this is brilliant. As an egyptian, I always say the same about the Ottomans too.

As an iranian, it's quite funny that there are some people in here believe they should return it to Iran.

Was watching your series on Islam and didn't realize you were from the Indian Subcontinent. Very hard to find historians from here on youtube who deal with their content with such professionalism, unbiasedness and meticulous detail. Kudos!

So the Kohinoor being recovered would just cause conflict. Sounds a lot like Tolkien's Arkenstone.

Instead of the Kohinoor we should be asking back all those historical and important artifacts they stole and are currently proudly showing off in the British museum

Bold video. Strong argument. I'd expect nothing less from Al Muqaddimah.

3:16 Punjabi is usually written in Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi rather than Devanagari, so "Ranjit Singh" should probably be written as either "ਰਣਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ" (Gurmukhi) or "رنجیت سنگھ" (Shahmukhi). Super cool video though!

The "Queen Mother's crown" isn't like an official thing, it is only called that because of who it belonged to. Camilla can freely wear the crown or have the diamond transferred to a new crown whenever she wishes.

Even in the event that she outlives the King it would be unlikely that she is given the title of Queen Mother, considering she isn't William's mum

They should give Kohinoor back to his original owner - ME!

[devlonmillion]

How you said "why don't we start with bringing him *home*" was very very powerful, it gave me chills

[mush]

great video. small note: camilla probably wont be queen mother even if she outlives charles because she is not william's mother. queen mother generally means mother of the monarch, diana was the mother of william so that right was reserved for her.

As a Bangladeshi seeing Pakistanis, Indians, Iranians and Afghans fighting for the Koh-i-Noor is one of the most funniest thing 😂
But one thing goes vastly unnoticed and what bothers me is that during 1942-1943 a horrible famine struck Bangladesh which was under Birtish rule back then and almost 4 million people died...This was a man-made famine.. Perpetrated by British govt 😑..Not many know about It and the Brits keeps a low profile about their part in the famine

To be honest I'd love to see a video about Nader Shah. Highly underrated figure here in the West

[storiesofoldpanjab]

Thank you for mentioning bringing back Maharaja Duleep Singh’s remains to his kingdom, he never visited. His story is really tragic. Finally someone mentioned him. If you got time in future, please make video on him or on Sikh empire. I would like to hear story from neutral muslim perspective! ❤

When hearing about Indian colonisation, I've always wanted to know more about the princely states.

This is one of the most well-edited videos I have seen. Lots of support from Lucknow, INDIA

Let Kohinoor diamond be an example of how much torture British gave to the South Asians. Our pain must not be forgotten. Having an diamond on our head is not important, Having an brain inside the head is important. As an Indian, I say let that diamond be with the british, stealing an diamond from an 9 years old king in pakistan doesnt make them "Great"

I don’t think HM Queen Camilla would be styled as Queen Mother, should she live to see the accession of HRH the Prince of Wales as King. It’ll be more likely that she would become “HM the Dowager Queen Camilla.” If HRH Lady Diana Spencer was still alive, it could be that HRH Prince William could style her as Queen Mother upon his accession, since she is his mother, not Queen Camilla.

I'd rather have the remains of Bahadur Shah Zafar brought back since he actually contributed to our country. Dileep Singh spent most of his life like an English nobleman.

"Diamonds are useless stones, good for nothing" then why did the Delhi sultanate massacre the populace of amaravati for it? Why did Babur massacre populace of doab for it? Why did Nader Shah massacre populace of Punjab and Delhi for it? When is the Islamic world giving back that 600 years of progress it took from Indian subcontinent?

Even if we forgive Britain we won't even begin thinking of forgiving the Islamic world, which was thousands of times more brutal than the British.
Pakistan can never be the least of the claimants of this diamond or of any british booty as it is itself, a colonial british product.
