DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER…IN ANOTHER COUNTRY…
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has said it has not initiated any move to bring the fabled Kohinoor diamond back to India . The latest move to get the Kohinoor back surfaced when Keith Vaz, a British MP of Indian origin, told British Prime Minister David Cameron to discuss the issue of 'returning the jewel' during his recent visit to India. The diamond, taken to England in 1849, was named Kohinoor (The Mountain of Light) and is believed to carry a curse - only when it is in the possession of a woman the curse does not work. All men who have owned it have either lost their throne or suffered misfortunes. The stone has adorned the jewels of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
