True Kavitha, atleast we pay 20 Pounds for the ticket and see the "Kohinoor". In Inida it will stored in one of the Swiss accounts. Hail the imperialists! They loot from other countries but atleast they are better off as they don't loot from own country-men.

As a Indian system and Indian politicians would have sold in the first year or so or England have protected it for a long time We keep re-writing the past? There is no end to that. It is a waste of time and resources.

As a Indian system and Indian politicians would have sold in the first year or so or England have protected it for a long time, and anyways they do not intend to sell it off or anything like that so there should be no problem behind like where it is at the moment, if if was in India, I have already given you all the picture of state what it would be in.....

Yes Kavita it should be there in England. Of-course, our politicians as of now not that bad but the way they r selling our natural resources, if not stopped, they will happily sell the country for the money & greed. However, some argue that the politicians r already started selling the country in the name of economic liberalization & mindless expansion & Reforms, resulting rich is becoming super rich & poor is becoming much poor. There was an article on Kohinoor stating that it has associated with lot of bad luck & deliberately gifted to Britsh by then Ruler. However, if it is a gifted out, it is not wise & bad manners to ask them to return it to India,unless it is return to us by their own will. Apart from emotional burst, let us ask the Brit PM to impress upon our other genuine Indian Kohinoors' settledown with them to render their services in Education, Technology & Scientific field to enhance & update our knowledge and thereby improve life of Indians to Global Standard. Appears like political speech know? Sorry Kavita this is the reality Lets live in present.

Yes it is safer in england. What is to be achieved from restoring it to India? I am in agreement with the thought that many museums in many countries, including India would be broken up if things were to be returned to original owners. The fight to get back Kohinoor is no different from the ayodhya dispute. there was mosque. before that there was the temple. before that? Where is the end to this kind of logic? We keep re-writing the past? There is no end to that. It is a waste of time and resources. Let us instead think of progress and how to take this country forward.

Safer in which angle? Indian Army and all other security system in India are treated as most efficiant in whole World, then what is the problem? Give only one example where anything of the Nation is sold by our political Leaders.

I am disagree tht India is not capable to keep Kohinoor safe. there is no doubt tht many politicians are doing very disgraceful but there r ppl in India who are very responsible and definitely take care of Indian heritages. and In the era where things r getting privatization, may be coming days any corporate leader will take the responsibility of mgmt of Indian monuments, heritages...

No, I don't think so.India is capable of taking care of their valuables on its own and they don't require any assistance from a country like England on whom you simply can not believe. Have you forgotten their sins? And why they are still keeping our valuables under their custody? Why they don't return? This shows their intentions.

Obviously NOT. WE want it back. Nonsense Motion. If England were 'safe' then we would not have desired independence. We can take care of our own belongings. It is frustrating to know that they've kept our Diamond... took it away rather.
