Yes conflicting claims are a reason why India should not be handed the diamond over other claimants . That’s diplomacy Timmy. ah diplomacy . Sending gun boats up the ganges and threatening ten year old boys with death if he doesnt sign the diamond away. I tell you benny , with footsoldiers like squeaky , i would be suprised if the empire could beat sri lanka in a gun fight today. Oh dear. Timmy is hallucinating again . Does it bring back those tales of Devils in skirts that your Mcgrandad used to tell you ? |

Anybody care to say why for instance we return the Elgin marbles which the Greeks were going to use for hardcore and would’ve been lost anyway? Have they been returned? The Elgin marbles consist of 75 metres of Parthenon frieze, 15 metopes and 17 sculptures which were removed by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century when he was ambassador to the Ottoman Empire which ruled Greece at the time. The British Museum bought the marbles in 1816. Greece disputes the claim that the marbles were legally acquired by Elgin and has been asking for their return for decades. |

No,I’m asking why anybody thinks they should. Clearly some do but thus far nobody will say why. |

stealing property from someone then claming you cant hand it back because you cant work out who the righfull owner is , is fucking laughable .Did you talking snake tell you to say that?
according to this article , the koh i noor was nicked by the british to symbolise their hold over the country . A bit like when you nicked that lavvie lid from perthshire and crowned your kings on it to show jock who was boss.
For the British, that symbol of prestige and power was irresistible. If they could own the jewel of India as well as the country itself, it would symbolize their power and colonial superiority. It was a diamond worth fighting and killing for, now more than ever. When the British learned of Ranjit Singh’s death in 1839, and his plan to give the diamond and other jewels to a sect of Hindu priests, the British press exploded in outrage. “The richest, the most costly gem in the known world, has been committed to the trust of a profane, idolatrous and mercenary priesthood,” wrote one anonymous editorial. Its author urged the British East India Company to do whatever they could to keep track of the Koh-i-Noor, so that it might ultimately be theirs.
At the end of the violent period, the only people left in line for the throne were a young boy, Duleep Singh, and his mother, Rani Jindan. And in 1849, after imprisoning Jindan, the British forced Duleep to sign a legal document amending the Treaty of Lahore, that required Duleep to give away the Koh-i-Noor and all claim to sovereignty. The boy was only 10 years old.
I think you need to get back to watching documentaries starring Mel Gibson. What one? The one with the talking snake in it? What was it called again the passion of christ?
the thief doesnt get to keep stolen property just because there are many different claimants. Hand it over to an independent non british arbiter , for example the chinese , or better still what about brussells to hold till the dispute is worked out.
Must try harder benny hill.

It's a serious question. I won't troll your answer. The answer to this question has surely been mapped out in the Bible for you, Benny and others 'of faith'. |

No Timmy. This isn’t the shot hole cover your countrymen thought was the stone of scone. This is a piece of history claimed by several nations . Until India has shown a greater claim than all other nations then it should stay here . How’s Mel doing ? |

The answer to this question has surely been mapped out in the Bible for you, Benny and others 'of faith'. Troll alert …. Seriously, Benny. It's all very amusing to discuss your rational belief in talking snakes and all that, but let's turn to a more serious issue: does the Bible provide an answer? Does it mention, I dunno, stealing or anything like that? |
