Mamdani: Charles should return crown jewels to India

The New York mayor Zohran Mamdani recommends the British King Charles IIIto return India’s crown jewels. If possible, he would call on the king to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond, he said before meeting the king at the memorial to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attack. It was initially unclear whether Mamdani, who himself has Indian roots, actually addressed the topic at the meeting.

Mamdani for addressing colonial injustice

The world-famous and high-profile diamond is part of the coronation crown of “Queen Mum”, the mother of Queen Elizabeth II. – and comes from the former British colony of India. After the Queen’s death last fall, many Indians demanded its return. Also to avoid new debates, the Koh-i-Noor came at the coronation of Elizabeth’s son King Charles III. not for use.

The democratic socialist Mamdani often speaks out in favor of coming to terms with colonial injustice.
