On his visit to India, UK PM David Cameron denied to return the Kohinoor diamond when he was asked for it. The appeal to return the diamond was made by Gautam Sengupta who is the Director General of Archaeological Survey of India. The precious diamond was taken to Britain during the British rule in India when India was under its dominance.
Declining the demand for the precious diamond, Cameron said, “I certainly don’t believe in returnism.” He also referred to a law which prevents British government from returning the items.
Kohinoor was certainly one of pride elements of India. After being taken to Britain, it was seen in the coronation crown of Queen Alexandra. Now, it is in a museum of Britain.
