Should The Koh-I-Noor Be Returned? Mamdani vs King Charles III EXPLAINED

from Empire: World History · host Goalhanger

Who does the Koh-I-Noor diamond truly belong to? Why is it considered cursed? And should it be returned? The Koh-I-Noor diamond has been in the headlines this week with Mayor Zohran Mamdani stating that he would tell King Charles III to return it to India. As William and Anita wrote the definitive book on the cursed jewel, they provide a round-up of its long history and how it made its way into the British crown still on display in the Tower of London.  For more Goalhanger Podcasts, head to www.goalhanger.com.
