CRISIS
After speculation over whether Queen consort Camilla would be wearing the Kohinoor diamond in her coronation crown, global conversations about the Kohinoor diamond have resparked. As a speech by a well-known Indian politician picks up momentum and goes viral social media users are calling for the British government to surrender the diamond and other artifacts obtained by the British Empire during colonization with the #ReturnTheKohinoorToIndia. 😮
----
In response to growing demands, All Indian Human Rights Organization (AIHRO), an Indian non-governmental organization (NGO) filed a petition with the International Criminal Council, urging the government to take immediate action to retrieve the Kohinoor Diamond. The petition argues that the diamond was wrongfully taken during the colonial era and should be returned to its country of origin, as it holds immense cultural and historical significance for India. They demand Immediate Repatriation and a formal apology and acknowledgment from Britain for the acquisition of the diamond during the colonial era and a letter of formal apology for other notable crimes such as the Jallianwalla Bagh and the loot of treasures such as the Amaravati Stupa. Additionally, there is mounting diplomatic pressure from other nations, with other BRICS nations calling for the return of the diamond to India.
However, Britain maintains their views that the diamond is an integral part of the British Crown Jewels and holds significant cultural value for the nation. They emphasize the diamond's preservation and accessibility to a global audience through its display in the Tower of London.
As this controversy gains momentum, the situation becomes further complicated as rival claims of ownership arise from the multiple stakeholders and the governments of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran.
Members of the QUAD express support for a peaceful resolution between India and Britain, encouraging diplomatic negotiations and mutual understanding. International museums express interest in hosting temporary exhibits of the Kohinoor Diamond to ensure wider access and appreciation of its cultural value while the ownership dispute is ongoing.
Multiple stakeholders call for the involvement of the UN, particularly UNESCO, as a mediator to find a solution that respects the cultural significance and historical connections of each country involved.

🍀 293. SURPRISE 🍀
🕉. All that is beautiful and true always comes as a surprise. So retain the capacity to be surprised. That is one if the greatest blessings of life. 🕉
Once you lose the capacity to be surprised, you are dead. If things can surprise you, you are still alive. And the more you are surprised by things, the more alive you are. That is the aliveness of children; they are surprised by trivia. One cannot even believe they are surprised--by just an ordinary tree, or bird, or dog, or cat, or a pebble on the shore. Children are even more surprised than you would be if you were to find a Kohinoor, a great diamond--even then you won't be surprised. But because children have the capacity to become surprised, each pebble becomes a diamond.
If you are not surprised, even a diamond becomes an ordinary pebble. Life carries as much meaning as you carry the capacity to be surprised, the capacity to wonder. So always remain open. Remind yourself again and again that life is infinite. It is always an ongoing process; it never comes to an end. It is an eternal journey, and each moment is new, each moment is original. When I say each moment is original, I mean each moment throws you back to your origin, .each moment makes you a child again.

lesson 3
ive thought more about the ethical issues curating has and if we should decolonise all museums. i fully believe that we should return artefacts to its origin of place and ethically source artefacts. However, would it be better for significant artefacts to stay in colonised institutions? For example, the met and the british museum have stolen nearly all of their artefacts yet they get the most traffic and public viewings.
These artefacts like the Kohinoor diamond (basic example i know) has an extremely dark history with countless efforts for its return to India but would it be better for it to stay in the UK? factors like: when returned to India, who would it be returned to as it does not have a proper owner and the diamond would get more showing and publications if it stays in the UK.
i dont think the point that the diamond is owned by queen elizabeth because Maharaja Duleep Singh gifted it to her is a valid point. the power dynamic between the queen and the Persian Prince was extremely unbalanced. The queen took hum “under her wing” when he wasnt even a teenager yet. he gave her the diamond in front of a giant crowd, who were all avid followers of the royal family and he was only a child, where the queen almost a granny.
the ethics of curating is an extremely difficult case. i could ramble on and on but i feel like its more for the class than my tumblr.

5 Incredible Facts You Need To Know About Your Diamonds
A diamond is the oldest stone known to mankind! Given the fact that it has existed for so long, it has become rudimentary to the jewelry industry.
From people traveling miles to buy their dream engagement rings to jewelers creating lab-grown diamond jewelry to improve the accessibility of this stone, diamonds have come a long.
Diamonds have been omnipresent throughout the jewelry industry, and the answer as to why? Is still unknown. While the jewelry aficionado and the top players of the diamond industry work on finding an answer to this question, we have a few facts that will keep you entertained and informed about your diamonds:
Do You Know How Old The Oldest Diamond Is? A 3.3 Billion Years.
In the 4.5 billion years of the Earth, the very first diamond was discovered 3.3 billion years ago. The theory of which is still a matter of debate in geological society. The unbelievable fact is that this stone has existed to witness every big turn of events that led the world to where it is today.
“Mined Diamonds” Is Not As Old Of A Concept As You Believe It To Be:
Even when the majority of diamonds today are either mined, extracted formed underseas, or lab-grown, the story a few hundred years ago was different. Back in time the diamonds were sourced from under the rivers or were collected from the riverbeds under a practice, popularly known as Alluvian Mining.
Fully grown diamonds, as well as melee diamonds, were resourced from around the riverbeds before they were supplied to jewelers and prompted for industrial use.
Diamonds Were Not Always Available To All:
Earlier diamonds were not for anyone who wanted them, they were strictly confined, to be used and worn by the king. It was only until later when diamonds were discovered in South Africa that they were made available to non-royalty as well.
Diamonds have become all the more available to everyone since the inception of lab-grown diamond rings.
Diamond Gives Up 50% Off Its Weight When Taken Through The Cutting Process:
Nobody wants to buy a rough diamond and therefore, each diamond has to go through the cutting process before it can be put into a piece of jewelry. While these diamonds are shredded for enhancing brilliance and radiance they are robbed of about 50% of their original carat weight.
The Eureka Diamond:
The biggest and brightest diamond that has ever existed. First discovered in South Africa, by Erasmus Stephanus a 15-year-old boy, this diamond currently sits at the Kimberly Mine Museum in South Africa. It weighs 10.73 carats after it was cut down from the rough with which it weighed 21.25 carats.
Right from Eureka Diamonds to Kohinoor; diamonds have always been and will always be the topmost priority for couples who are about to get married or engaged. Even when a lot of them cannot afford natural diamonds, the discovery of lab-grown diamonds have given them a chance to live their dreams of owning a diamond.
Lab Grown Diamond USA LLC works towards fulfilling this dream by producing tonnes of lab-grown diamonds every year. From lab-grown pendants to diamond rings, they have the best lab-grown diamond inventory anyone could ever ask for.

Habits: An upside down view
Any behavior that comes to be a pressure, a controling pressure over you, is a wrong. One need to live much more in flexibility. One should have the ability to do points not according to habits, however inning accordance with the situations.
There's no good habit as such
Life is constantly altering-- it is a change-- as well as routines are stagnant. The even more you are surrounded by practices, the more you are shut to life. You are closed, you do not have windows. You do not have any type of communication with life, you go on repeating your routines. They do not fit, they are not the appropriate feedback to the situation, to the moment. They are constantly dragging, they are always failing. That's the failure of your life.
So remember: I am against all type of behaviors. Good or negative is not the point, there is no good practice therefore, there is no poor behavior as such. Habits are all bad since routine means something unconscious has actually come to be a controling consider your life, has actually become crucial. You disappear the determining factor. The response is not appearing of recognition yet from a pattern-- structure-- that you have actually found out in the past.
Victims of habit
I have actually seen several abundant individuals living very inadequate lives. Before they ended up being rich, their routines became settled-- and their behaviors came to be resolved when they were poor. That's why you locate a lot miserliness in abundant individuals, it originates from the behaviors that became instilled in them when they were poor.
One of the wealthiest males on the planet was the Nizam of Hyderabad. His collection of rubies was the best worldwide since he had the ruby mines of Golconda, which have actually given the best diamonds to the world. The Kohinoor originates from Golconda. It was as soon as in the Nizam's possession.
But he was one of one of the most parsimonious males worldwide. He utilized a single cap for Thirty Years. It was having an odor, however he wouldn't alter it. He continuouslied wear the exact same coat for nearly his whole life as well as he would not give it to be cleaned because they may destroy it.
He was so miserly-- you could not visualize-- that he would accumulate half-smoked cigarettes from the visitors' ashtrays and afterwards smoke them. The wealthiest guy in the globe smoking cigarette butts smoked by others! The very first point he would do whenever a guest left was to look in the ashtrays as well as gather completions of the cigarettes. When he passed away, his greatest ruby was found in his unclean footwears. He was concealing it in his footwear! Also when one is dying one is relocating in old practices, complying with old patterns.
Getting to the cause
You have not tried to understand it, without trying to be aware you have attempted to drop it. It is not feasible. It will certainly return, because your mind is the same, its needs are the exact same, its problems coincide, its anxiousness, tensions are the very same, its misery is the very same. As well as when those stress and anxieties develop, just what will you do? Instantly, mechanically, you will certainly begin searching for the cigarettes.
You might have determined once more and again, as well as over and over you have actually failed-- not since cigarette smoking is such a great phenomenon that you could not get out of it, but since you are trying from the incorrect end.
Rather than familiarizing the entire situation-- why you smoke to begin with-- as opposed to becoming mindful of the process of smoking, you are merely attempting to drop it. It is like pruning the fallen leaves of a tree without reducing the roots.
And my entire problem below is to cut the roots, not to trim the tree. By pruning the leaves as well as the branches the tree will come to be thicker, the vegetation will become thicker. You will certainly not destroy the tree, you will be aiding it. If you truly intend to leave it you will certainly need to look further, not right into the signs and symptoms yet the roots.

Interesting Facts About The Red Fort in Delhi
While there are many excellent tourist sites throughout the world, Delhi is one such location that should not be overlooked. Delhi, a mash-up of old and new, traditional and modern, has always attracted number of tourists from all over the world to see the view of Red Fort in Delhi.
Delhi, the pride and capital of India, is absolutely bursting with must-see tourist sites. With a multitude of things to see and do, the city takes great satisfaction in talking about the Red Fort in Delhi — one of the most important forts that captures the attention of any tourist visiting India for the first or third time.
We’re sure you’ve been there once or twice, but there are some fascinating facts about the vast and ancient Red Fort that you may not be aware of. Let’s have a look at what they are.
Interesting Facts About The Red Fort In Delhi
The Red Fort in Delhi is a tourist hotspot and a must-see when in Delhi. Not only do we Indians admire the grandeur of this gigantic architectural marvel, but it also draws visitors from all over the world. However, while we are all familiar with the Red Fort and most of us have visited it at least once, we frequently ignore the mysteries that this landmark has to offer.
So here are some interesting facts about the Red Fort that adorns the streets of Chandni Chowk that you probably didn’t know. Read this piece of information by The Himalayan Outback.
The Red Fort in Delhi was in fact white!
When Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan erected the fort in 1648, it was white and made of sandstones. Not only was the name altered, but the fort’s colour was also changed to red. Everything was done at the request of the British. Originally, the Red Fort was built of lime stones. When the white stone began to chip away, the British were forced to repaint it in red.
The Fort’s Real Name
Did you know the Interesting Facts About The Red Fort in Delhi, the Red Fort was not always known as it is today? Originally, it was called “Qila-e-Mubarak.” This name can be shortened to “The Blessed Fort.” According to accounts, Shah Jahan erected this fort after deciding to relocate his capital from Agra to Delhi.
The Red Fort Took a Decade (or Ten Years) to Build
There’s no doubt that equipment and construction were restricted back then, or during the reign of Shah Jahan — Akbar the Great’s grandson. It took ten arduous years for Ustad Hamid and Ustad Ahmed – the forefathers of the period who began building in 1638 and finished it a decade later.
The Red Fort Furniture Included the Kohinoor Diamond
Many people are unaware that the Kohinoor diamond was once part of Shah Jahan’s regal throne, which was housed in the Diwan-i-Khas. Nadir Shah (the ‘Persian Napoleon’) stole the valuable stone years later.
The throne was built of pure gold and was encrusted with costly stones such as emeralds, pearls, diamonds, and rubies. The biggest diamond in the world is now decorating the crown of England’s queen.
There is no monarchy or the Kohinoor diamond anymore, but you will be pleased to immerse yourself in various legends that will make your Delhi trip a spectacular occasion to remember.
The Red Fort in Delhi – Rang Mahal
The Red Fort (famous for its beautiful architecture) is tiny, with a plethora of buildings that were originally utilised by a variety of Mughal monarchs. Rang Mahal, one of the fort’s most outstanding palaces, literally means “palace of colours.”
Emperor consorts and their maids utilised this palace. Near Rang Mahal lies Khas Mahal, the emperor’s magnificent personal residence. It permitted the emperor to pay his queens visits whenever he pleased. Except for the princesses and queens, no one was permitted to enter Khas Mahal.
Lahore Gate – The Fort’s Main Entrance
The Delhi Gate and the Lahore Gate are the two main gateways at the beautiful Red Fort. Lahore Gate earned its name since it faces Lahore. This is because India and Pakistan were formerly one country.
Every year on Independence Day, India’s Prime Minister hoists the National Flag from the walls of Lahore Gate.
Although the Delhi Gate appears to be identical to the Lahore Gate, it used to be the public entrance gate to the fort.
The Red Fort is octagonal in shape.
The beautiful Red Fort is designed in an octagonal form and spans 256 acres. When seen from the summit, the fort’s mind-boggling architectural splendour exposes its octagonal form.
The Red Fort has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
UNESCO designated the Red Fort as a World Heritage Site in 2007 for its historical and cultural significance. India is quite proud of its architectural marvel, which we all know as the “Red Fort.”
The Last Mughal Emperor Was Tried in His Own Courtyard
Bahadur Shah Zafar, the final Mughal Emperor, became a symbol of the 1857 insurrection against the British dominion. The British tried him for treason in his own house, the Red Fort. The trial was held at Diwan-i-Khas, surrounded by the British court, and the emperor was judged guilty, and his title was removed from him. He was afterwards banished to Rangoon (now called Myanmar).
The Red Fort’s Ruins
After capturing the Red Fort, the British embarked on a destructive spree. They continued to destroy portions of the fort. To be honest, most of the items were sold. Nothing remained of the vast and magnificent fortress that had once been the palace of the mughal ruler.
A water gate is also there.
A third small outlet leads to the fort. Originally built on the riverside, it was intended to provide convenient access to the Yamuna. However, the river’s flow altered throughout time, but the name persisted.
Conclusion
So the above were some of the interesting facts about the Red Fort in Delhi that you might not be knowing. We would be glad if you let us know what you think about this information in the comments section. Book your adventure trip with The Himalayan Outback and gain some unique experiences of a lifetime.
