The Kohinoor diamond: How it went from India to the British Crown

About the episode

The Kohinoor, one of the world's most famous diamonds, is believed to have been mined in Kollur, within the former Golconda Sultanate in India. From time to time, there have been calls for its return to India from Britain. Speaking with SBS Hindi, Victoria-based Arjun Raina recounts the historical British treaties involving the Sikh Darbar, the circumstances surrounding the Kohinoor's acquisition, and his personal ancestral connections to those who once served the Darbar.
