New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Wednesday he encourages Britain's King Charles to return the Koh-i-Noor Diamond, with his comments coming during the British monarch's ongoing U.S. visit.
"If I were to speak to the king separately from that, I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor Diamond," Mamdani, who is Indian American, said when asked at a press conference hours before a ceremony that commemorated victims of the deadly September 11, 2001, attacks.
Later in the day, the king spoke with Mamdani at the ceremony. Buckingham Palace declined to comment. Mamdani's office did not respond to a request to comment on whether Mamdani brought up the issue with the king. India has previously repeatedly demanded that Britain return the 105-carat diamond.
Britain's then colonial governor-general of India arranged for the huge diamond to be presented to Queen Victoria in 1850 after the East India Company had annexed the region of Punjab in 1849 and taken the diamond from a deposed Indian leader.
Charles on Wednesday commemorated victims of the September 11, 2001, attack on New York City, laying a floral bouquet at the memorial where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood.
India received independence from British rule in 1947. The British colonization of India and widespread atrocities committed against Indians during that period remain sensitive issues in the country.
India has previously said the diamond was a "valued piece of art with strong roots in our nation's history." The diamond's possession by the British is seen by many Indians as a symbol of colonial atrocities during British rule.

I encourage ManDamni to return to Mecca.
Hopefully chuck told morondummy to pound it.
King to Trump: “Is your guy Mamdani for real? What a loser.”
I think King Charles mistook Mandummy for his Groom of the Stool.
Idea. Have a perfect fake made and stiff Mamdani with it.
"The British colonization of India and widespread atrocities committed against Indians during that period remain sensitive issues in the country."
yah unhuh. Here is something documenting the conquest of India by adherents of Mandami's gentle religion.
https://www.sikhnet.com/news/islamic-india-biggest-holocaust-world-history
"The Indian historian Professor K.S. Lal estimates that the Hindu population in India decreased by 80 million between 1000 AD and 1525 AD, an extermination unparalleled in World history. This slaughter of millions of people occurred over regular periods during many centuries of Arab, Afghan, Turkish and Mughal rule in India."
The count is based on the conquerors records.
Lab grown diamonds are the current market leaders.............
Forget about it you creep.
Or as they say in New Yorkease:
Fuhgeddaboudit,
Thanks.
I was unaware of those atrocities by the Religion of Pieces.
Do New Yorkers give one care that this creep does not work for them, while they pay him to do so?
Yes, there were atrocities, but it also brought education and modern civilization to India. God has judged those who committed atrocities, as well as those who brought good. If India wants to do back to what it was before, they are welcome to do so.
There would be no India today least British Rule which put together many cultures and small kingdoms into India. Thus English became the official language least no areas could talk to each other.
Did England economically exploit India most brutally? They did is fact. Gandhi via passive opposition made India non economic to England. In effect a strike. It worked. The Brits left but today India only exists as a great nation due to the Brits.
What would Madmani do with it? Sell it to pay off some debts?
As David Asman said on FOX Business, “Why doesn’t Mamdani return his family’s land in Uganda to the native people?”
Tacky greaseball.
