The latest news from NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art might just rekindle our hopes of getting Kohinoor back from the Britishers. The Museum has agreed to return to Cambodia two 10th-century Khmer statues that were looted from Cambodia and transported in stages, more than 20 years ago. New research on the statues backed Cambodian claims and the Americans have been truthful enough to return the statues. But will the Britishers ever be generous enough ?
The list of India’s treasures held abroad is “too long to handle” for the Archaeological Survey of India. Recently ASI called for a diplomatic and legal campaign to help India get their looted artifacts back from institutions, including the British Museum, the Royal Collection and the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery but unfortunately we are yet to see any such initiative.
Kohinoor diamond has always been close to our hearts and like almost everything Indian, its origin has always been surrounded with mysteries and legends. The diamond appears to have been mined in Kollur Mines of Andhra Pradesh, with the first firm recorded story about the diamond dating to the early 16th century. Legends, however, state that the Kohinoor diamond is actually thousands of years old, with some stories saying that it was created by the Gods while others say that it was found in the Godavari River.
It has been said that whoever owns the Kohinoor diamond will control the world. The diamond has belonged to various Hindu, Rajput, Mughal, Iranian, Afghan, Sikh and British rulers who fought bitterly over it and seized it as a spoil of war time and time again. It is also believed that the Kohinoor carries with it a curse which affects men who wear it, but not women.
The British government openly declared few years ago that it has absolutely no plans to return the diamond to India. Let's hope with a greater push and with stories like those coming from NYC they get their act together and return it back to where it always belonged to.
