The British royals are hoping to dodge another colonialism row by keeping the famed Kohinoor diamond out of the public eye at the coronation of King Charles III today.
'It (Kohinoor) represents colonisation and bloodshed. Give it back to India. I don't see why an Indian child from India has to travel all the way to the UK to look at it and pay for it,' said broadcaster Narinder Kaur.
The Crown Jewels form the centrepiece of the royal coronation, and symbolise the pomp and history of the British monarchy over the centuries.
Hours after Queen Elizabeth II's death was announced, calls to return the Kohinoor diamond to its country of origin grew on social media.
The acquisition would give AWL exclusive rights over the brand 'Kohinoor’ basmati rice along with 'Ready to Cook’, 'Ready to Eat' curries and meals portfolio under the Kohinoor brand umbrella in India, the company said in a statement.

The decision was taken at a high-level meeting which was attended by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma and Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha among others, sources said, adding Britain may be approached on the issue next month.
The government's reaction came a day after Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar conveyed to the Supreme Court that the British East India Company did not take away the Kohinoor but it was gifted to Britain by late Sikh sovereign Maharaja Ranjit Singh's son Maharaja Duleep Singh.
