For centuries, India was the cradle of the world's most extraordinary diamonds—the Kohinoor, Hope, Nassak, Darya-i-Noor, and many more, each carrying a tale of opulence, conquest, and betrayal. It unravels the untold history of these legendary gems, tracing their journey from Indian mines and temples to foreign crowns and museum vaults. These gems symbolized India's wealth and craftsmanship. Yet, like the nation itself, they became the spoils of war, seized by invaders, colonial rulers, and opportunists who carried them far from their homeland. Blending meticulous research with gripping storytelling, the book exposes the grand looting of India’s riches, the political intrigues behind their transfers, and the ongoing debate over their rightful ownership. The book is a powerful reminder that while diamonds may have been lost forever, their stories must never be forgotten. Let's bring them home.
