The Cullinan diamond was a gift from the then South African Prime Minister Louis Botha, to King Edward. It was never stolen. That aside, as South Africans, the vast majority of us have no real interest in this trinket - what would we even do with it.

I don't know why the Pakistani, Iranian or iraqi are laying claim on the diamond. The diamond was mined in Indian soil and was placed in a Hindu temple. Therefore, this diamond belongs to India. Now, successive thieves who have taken the diamond from the hindu temple remain , at least in my mind and in the mind of other civilised people, as low class common thieves. The best thing to do for these thieves is to save their face and keep quiet about their thievery.

I appreciate your taking time to write this. History is never as cut and dry as these micro shorts depict and the truth is often if not always far more varied and difficult to process.

Fantastic comment.

The whole explanation is factually and legally correct but morally absurd…..thats like if I saw a person with no limbs on a wheelchair and once his caretaker goes away, i drag him to a cliff and ask him to give me all his money, and in return i wont push him down…….and all of that considering that the handicaped guy was very happy in life, did good deeds despite being not so wealthy and i am a billionare…… The money i took from him was not loot but war cost which he paid to survive and i should not be ashamed of it as in return i let him live.

@@hasrataulakh I don't get your analogy. British officers were killed during a time of peace along with an open rebellion that kicked off the 2nd smaller war that led to the amended treaty. Your wheelchair guy or his proxy "caretaker" seem to be firing a gun not seeming so crippled. Also looking at the history of the last 4 Maharajas that preceded him it's very likely the "caretaker" would push him off the cliff to rob him. Or in other words, the British saved his live im sure of this. Either his own extended family or Muslims would have ended his life prematurely. For the first war, it's debatable which army was more aggressive, both sides were provoking the other. It takes two armies to war. Was the Empire or his Mother who served as regent/his proxy during his "rule" so helpless as a man in a wheelchair? The Sikh Empire were immoral warmongering expansionists, the same as the British. Both expanded around the same time. The Sikh army began crossing the Sutlej on 11 December 1845, which the British viewed as an act of war (rightfully so since they had a treaty since 1806 not to have Sikh forces not to go beyond the Sutlej river). But go ahead and view this Empire as a helpless wheelchair guy if that makes you feel better. By the time of Ranjit Singh's conquest in 1820 there had already been hundreds of years of a dominant Muslim population and rule. The Sikh banned the repair of holy Muslim buildings, introduced forced labor, banned the call to prayer, made cow slaughter punishable by death, nearly destroyed an important mosque, razed other mosques and built gurdwrasin their place, and terrorized Muslims in the Punjab. The majority of Punjabis were Muslim. If a Sikh murdered a Muslim a fine of 16-20 Rupe, only 2 went to the family of the Muslim. If a Hindu 4 Rupes (2x of a Muslim) to the Hindu's family, and the rest to the Empire. Are these the good deeds your wheelchair guy did? These are two warmongers fighting for power and greed, not a wheelchair guy and a bully. You seem to want to overly focus on the child who had no agency, no moral or natural right to any seat of power or rule over people, (a situation caused might I add due to the repeated murder of the Empire's Maharaja by its own family members. Hereditary monarchy is an immoral concept of inherited power. The actual power was held at the time by his mother. Whether she was incapable to extend control over the Empire's people or army, or willfully complacent, as regent she would be morally responsible for her part in the conflict with the British in both wars. The child leader's responsibility would be symbolic only and any treaties he signed alongside members of the Council of Regency would be a technical legal application with the actual authority to approve such treaties presumably his mother, acting regent at the time. The boy's life was never at risk or threat by the British. He not only lived but lived like a king for the rest of his life. He was no more morally deserving than any orphaned child, he led a quite extraordinarily unfathomable privileged life from birth to death. If it has gone unnoticed to you, the agreement and payout to this child and his family and servants well exceeded the value of the diamond you seem to think was stolen. If you are sad the British collected taxes and not his family it's hardly an argument to do with morals or any less absurd. the Sikh Empire caused a significant amount of loss of human life and suffering in its short twenty-year existence. TLDR version: India has no convincing legal or moral claim to the diamond as far as I can tell. Sidenote: I get that there are many sides to this story and i left out any good accomplishments of Ranjit Singh. Also, it's quite well possible that land expanded into that all or some may have been at some centuries past Sikh lands, or some other ethnicities. This is a moral grey area at best. I personally don't put time limits on the recapture of lost property however there are degrees of morality in how this is done also the argument can be made against greater harm or what would cause the least suffering. Other thoughts: I do not think it is moral to fight a war you know you cannot win or initiate one because you simply think you might win. You must be certain that you can win and your reason should also be a moral one. Considering the Sikh broke a treaty crossing a river with an army we could consider this an act of war without moral justification. I get that the Sikh may have been "responding" to some irritation aka excuse. However crossing an agreed-upon boundary into anothers domain with an army is commonly viewed as an act of war, the Sikh maneuvering was blatant compared to the British military buildup on their side of the river.
