The iconic Kohinoor diamond, which has been a subject of contention between
India and the United Kingdom for many years, has undergone a remarkable
transformation at the Tower of London. The display showcasing the Kohinoor
has been given a ‘transparent’ makeover, allowing visitors to view the
precious gem from all angles. The new display aims to provide a more
immersive and comprehensive experience for visitors, highlighting the
historical significance and beauty of the diamond. This move is seen as an
attempt to address the concerns raised by India, which has long demanded
the return of the Kohinoor. While the makeover does not alter the ownership
dispute, it represents a step toward enhancing public engagement with this
renowned diamond.
