Will the new king finally apologise for the atrocities committed in the name of the crown?
Dignitaries, celebrities and the crème de la crème of civil society flew in from around the world to make their presence known at King Charles’ coronation, a once-in-a-generation event that took place on the 6 May, 2023. Very conspicuously missing from the opulent ceremony was the Kohinoor, originally a 105-carat diamond that has long been the subject of a spat between England and post-colonial India.
Sunil Gavaskar, former Indian cricketer turned commentator, has been in the midst of heavy attention on social media of late.
India Supreme Court says it cannot pass an order for reclaiming the Kohinoor from the United Kingdom or to stop it from being auctioned.
The Indian government says it is still seeking to reclaim the priceless Koh-i-noor diamond from Britain, despite the Supreme Court being told otherwise.
