On the 13th of June 2017 William Dalrymple discussed his recent book 'Koh-I-Noor: The Story of the World’s Most Infamous Diamond' as well as Scotland's relation with India at a Chairman's Lunch of the Asia Scotland Institute.
His recent book tells the riveting story of the Kohinoor, the world’s most coveted gem. It unearths fascinating new information as it moves from the Mughal court to Persia to Afghanistan, from Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s Durbar in Punjab to the Crown of the Queen. Shrouded in legend and superstition, the Koh-I-Noor continues to arouse passion and controversy, as India, Pakistan and Afghanistan all claim the diamond and demand that Britain return it.

Jaipur literary festival was instituted by Pramod Kumar. The others like Dalrymple and Goenka contributed to it.

I hope every person in the UK thinks about India as William Dalrymple does. The Indians and British working together in all aspects would be Unstoppable.

Two great thinkers with their nuisances and experiences. Leaves a lot for us Indian colonial outbreds to ponder upon

We should not be working with British, we should try not to cooperate the British , we should try to get back all the wealth back and leave them alone there

Rishabh Bhatt that’s very backwards of you, both have a lot of common. And there’s a huge community in the UK, also since independence nothing has got better infrastructure wise and wealth gap is huge between poor and rich.

Rishabh Bhatt why you lying to yourself, even the banks in india are corrupt look at nirav modi case, everyone is corrupt, only the poor low caste and women suffer, there has been 0 progress. why has China which was colonised to an extent managed to do trade and have made in China products around the world, and have world class infrastructure, because they don’t tolerate corruption on large scale, go look at Swiss black money case.

Jasmine Kaur we should have fought the British instead of doing peacefully protest , because peace is good until the person in front of you is peacefully.
