YEAR WAS 1854, IN COLONIZED INDIA WHEN GOVERNOR GENERAL LORD
DALHOUSIE
AFTER CONQUERING PUNJAB SENT 15 YEAR
OLD CHILD PRINCE DALIP SINGH TO ENGLAND FROM PUNJAB SAYING THAT HE IS IN A
GREAT THREAT BECAUSE HE WAS LIVING UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF HI MOTHER RANI JINDAN.
AFTER SOMETIME THE
CHILD CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY
WHEN WAS PLACED UNDER ROYAL FAMILY. SOON THE SON OF QUEEN VICTORIA EDWARD VII
AND DALIP BECAME FRIENDS AND SPEND TIME TOGETHER.
ALSO ANNUAL PAYMENT OF 50,000 POUNDS WAS PAID TO HIM WHICH MAKES UP TO 5-6
CRORE WHEN ADJUSTED WITH INFLATION.
HE WAS THE LAST RULER OF SIKH EMPIRE WHICH WAS DEFEATED IN THE BATTLE
WITH BRITISH IN 1849.
THE KOH-I-NOOR DIAMOND FORMED A PART OF TREATY THAT WAS SIGNED TO GIVE THE
BRITISH THEIR WEALTH. KOH-I-NOOR WAS TAKEN TO QUEEN VICTORIA AFTER TRAVELLING
DISTANCE OF 6,700 KM.😀☹ THE FOLLOWING INDIAN KINGDOMS RULED OVER KOH-I-NOOR:
- VIJAYNAGARA
EMPIRE
- BAHMANI
SULTNATE
- HINDU KINGDOMS
OF SOUTH
- DELHI SULTANATE
- MUGHALS
- IRAN
- AFGHANISTAN
- SIKH
AND THEY ALL DESTROYED EITHER BY INVASIONS OF FOREIGNERS OR PROBLEM
WITHIN THE EMPIRE.
THERE IS A HINDU SUPERSTITION THAT
WARNS ABOUT KOH-I-NOOR “he who
owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only
God or woman can wear it with impunity.”
THE KOH-I-NOOR WAS EMERGED FROM KULLUR MINES
IN THEN VIJAYNAGARA EMPIRE. OVERTIME WHEN VIJAYNAGARA EMPIRE WAS JOINTLY
DEFEATED BY DECCAN MUSLIM KINGDOMS IT WENT IN THEIR HANDS.
Then it passed to the hands of Alauddin when he attacked southern
states. Slowly it passed on to the hands of MUGHALS and it was Shahjahan who
made it to the peacock's thrown eye.
Then Mughals at the reign of Muhammad Shah saw the attack of persian ruler
Naadir Shah who along with a mighty wealth took Koh-I-Noor to Persia.
During the time when Sikhs rose to power under Ranjit Singh, bring
Koh-I-Noor back to punjab and he started to wear it in upper arm. This
eventually ended as I had told this to you before by Lord Dalhousie.

billion ( maore than 81 kharab Rs )

present in the crown of Queen'S Mother.
