 NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India should relinquish its claim to a huge diamond it has fought for decades to get back from the British, the government told the Supreme Court on Monday, because the stone was given to its former colonial ruler rather than stolen. 
  
 One of the world’s largest diamonds, the 105-carat Koh-i-Noor has been part of the British crown jewels for 150 years and today forms part of the crown worn by the late mother of Queen Elizabeth. 
  
 The stone has been at the centre of a long-running diplomatic row, with many Indians demanding Britain return the diamond to atone for its colonial past. 
  
 But Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government on Monday told the Supreme Court that it should forgo its claims to the jewel because it was in fact given to the British as a gift by an Indian King, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, in 1851. 
  
 “It was neither stolen nor forcibly taken away,” solicitor general Ranjit Kumar told the Supreme Court during the hearing of a case calling for the stone’s return. 
  
 The Koh-i-Noor, on display in the Tower of London, is set in the crown worn by Queen Elizabeth, the mother of the reigning monarch, at the coronation of her husband George VI in 1937, and placed on her coffin at her funeral in 2002. 
  
 The Duchess of Cambridge, who last week visited India with her husband, Prince William, will wear the crown on official occasions when she becomes queen consort. William is second in line to the British throne. 
  
 During a visit to India in 2010, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the diamond would stay in London. 
  
 “What tends to happen with these questions is that if you say yes to one, then you would suddenly find the British Museum empty,” he said. 
  
 Indian campaigners believe the diamond is one of many artefacts taken from India by the British during colonial rule. 
  
 “The British rulers looted India and the government is making a mistake by not supporting our claims,” said Nafis Ahmad Siddiqui, who petitioned the Supreme Court for the stone’s return. ||||| Britain did not steal the most famous diamond in the Crown Jewels from India and should be allowed to keep it, the Indian government said for the first time yesterday. 
  
 The 105-carat Kohinoor diamond, which sits in the Tower of London, has been at the heart of a bitter row between India and Britain ever since it was taken from the Punjab and presented to Queen Victoria in 1849, with India consistently pressing for its return. 
  
 But India’s solicitor-general appeared to drop his country’s long-standing objection to British ownership yesterday, telling a judge that, in the opinion of the culture ministry, the diamond had not been “forcibly taken” and was a gift. 
  
 "Kohinoor cannot be said to be forcibly taken or stolen as it was given by the successors of Maharaja Ranjit Singh to East India Company in 1849 as compensation for helping them in the Sikh wars," said Ranjit Kumar. 
  
 The jewel was in the possession of the rulers of Punjab's Sikh Empire when the Anglo-Sikh wars broke out in the late 1840s. ||||| The Cullinan 
  
 The two largest diamonds in the Crown Jewels, Cullinan I (530.2 carats) and Cullinan II (317.4 carats) were both cut from one enormous diamond, unearthed in 1905. Today they adorn the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross and the Imperial State Crown. 
  
  
  
 Mined in present day South Africa, the Cullinan was the largest rough diamond ever found - and initially thought to be a hoax. The Surface Manager at the Premier Mine had to persuade his colleagues to weigh the stone after one exclaimed ‘this is no diamond!’ and threw it out of the window. The rough diamond weighed an astonishing 3,106 carats (621g). 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 This gigantic diamond, named after Thomas Cullinan, the chairman of the Premier Mine, caused an international sensation. A decoy travelled to Europe on a heavily guarded ship, while the real diamond was sent by ordinary parcel post! 
  
  
  
 Given by the Transvaal Government to Edward VII for his 66th birthday, the rough diamond was sent to Amsterdam to be cut. After eight months’ intensive work, Asscher’s produced 9 major diamonds (Cullinan I-IX), 96 small brilliants, and 9 carats of unpolished fragments. 
  
 The Koh-i-Noor (also known as Koh-i-Nûr) 
  
 The most famous diamond in the Crown Jewels, the 105.6 carat Koh-i-Noor diamond is set today in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (1937). It is said to be unlucky for men to wear this diamond as it has a long and bloody history. 
  
  
  
 This legendary diamond, originating in the Golconda mines in central southern India, has passed through the hands of conquering Mughal princes, Iranian warriors, Afghan rulers and Punjabi Maharajas before coming to Britain as the spoils of Empire. The Koh-i-Noor, (meaning ‘Mountain of Light’ in Persian), was surrendered in 1849 to Queen Victoria’s representatives following the Anglo-Sikh wars in the Punjab. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 Displayed in London at the Great Exhibition in 1851, the traditional rose-cut of the diamond failed to impress visitors expecting more sparkle. The following year the diamond was removed from its Indian setting, which is also on display in the Jewel House, and re-cut as an oval brilliant. 
  
  ||||| Much-contested gem, now set in crown once worn by Queen Mother, was not purloined, India’s supreme court hears 
  
 It’s time for India to relinquish its claim to a huge diamond that has formed part of Britain’s crown jewels for more than 100 years, according to India’s government, which has said it was gifted rather than stolen. 
  
  
  
 After decades of seeking the return of the the 106-carat Koh-i-noor, which forms part of the crown that was worn by the Queen Mother, an attempt to put the row to rest was made by Narendra Modi’s government in the Indian supremecourt on Monday 
  
 “It was neither stolen nor forcibly taken away,” India’s solicitor general, Ranjit Kumar, told the supreme court during the hearing of a case calling for the stone’s return. 
  
 The declaration comes just days after a visit to India by Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, who will wear the crown on official occasions when she becomes queen consort. Both William and Kate had an audience with Modi. 
  
 Long the subject of a historical ownership dispute that has seen the gem being claimed by at least four countries, Kumar said that stone was given to Britain in the 19th century by an Indian maharajah, Ranjit Singh.

 Kumar told the supreme court on Monday: “It was given voluntarily by Ranjit Singh to the British as compensation for help in the Sikh wars. The Koh-i-noor is not a stolen object.” 
  
 The court was hearing a suit filed by the All India Human Rights & Social Justice Front, which wants the diamond returned. The NGO asked the solicitor general to file an affidavit giving the government’s stance on the issue. 
  
  
  
 In its profile on the the royal palaces website, the Koh-i-noor is described as “the most famous diamond in the crown jewels”. No mention is made of disputes surrounding the ownership of the stone, other than a mention of its “long and bloody history” and a reference to how it came “to Britain as the spoils of empire”. 
  
 It adds that the jewel, meaning “mountain of light” in Persian, was surrendered in 1849 to Queen Victoria’s representatives following the Anglo-Sikh wars in the Punjab.

 Questions about the jewel, which is said to be unlucky for men to wear, have challenged more than a few British prime ministers. Most recently, David Cameron told Indian television in 2010 that he would oppose its return, adding: “If you say yes to one, you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty. It is going to have to stay put.” 
  
 Britain refused a 1976 request to cede the diamond, citing the terms of the Anglo-Sikh peace treaty. “I could not advise her majesty the Queen that it should be surrendered,” said Jim Callaghan, the prime minister at the time. |||||
Output:
For decades, Indians have demanded that Britain return a 105.6-carat diamond that they say was taken from them when they were under colonial rule. The matter may soon be settled, and not in their favor. In a Monday appearance before India's Supreme Court, which was hearing a case on the stone, Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar said the Koh-i-Noor diamond "was neither stolen nor forcibly taken away." In recommending the government relinquish its claim, Kumar said Maharaja Ranjit Singh bestowed the gem—"the most famous diamond in the crown jewels," per its current profile on the British royal palaces website—on Queen Victoria in 1849 for Britain's help in the Sikh wars. It isn't clear what brought about the change of heart, though Kumar said pressing India's claim might result in other countries "claiming their items from us." The Telegraph notes Kumar also referenced a 1970s law that says only those items removed illegally from pre-independent India may be pursued by the government. While the royals are likely thrilled—the jewel is embedded in a crown that was worn by the Queen Mother and will be sported by Kate as queen consort—the man who petitioned the Supreme Court is less so, per Reuters: "The British rulers looted India and the government is making a mistake by not supporting our claims." The diamond is said to have surfaced in the 1300s and "passed through the hands of conquering Mughal princes, Iranian warriors, Afghan rulers," some of whom met a fate that gained the diamond a reputation as cursed and "unlucky for men to wear," writes the Guardian. The profile says it came to Britain "as the spoils of Empire." (This man bought the world's priciest gem for his 7-year-old.)
