Answers
Answer:
Because it cannot be changed as it has been originated from the Latin word...
The ‘Koh-i-noor’ or the mountain of light has a complex history with different owners spanning from Raja of Malwa to Allaudin Khilji to Babur to Nadir to Maharaja Ranjit Singh and finally Queen Victoria. The Treaty of Lahore - a one line treaty was signed after the Anglo-Sikh war of 1850 and the Kohinoor was transferred to treasury of British East India company and was finally handed over to British Queen.
British never considered it to be Indian possession and as former British PM puts it that Kohinoor diamond in royal crown is ours and there is no point in ‘returnism’. So its a moot point that British is going to return it voluntarily and also the claimants for the diamond are many- India, Pakistan, Bangladesh.
Not only this, even the government of India is not very willing to bring back the diamond. In an answer to PIL filed in Supreme Court, the government cited a 43 year old law Antiquities and Art Treasure Act, 1972 that does not allow government to bring back antiques taken legally from India before independence. If our own country is not really enthusiastic about bringing it back then expecting British to take the high road is a distant dream.
Also, it has been debated that it is better to keep the diamond in Britain itself as its return to Asia can open a pandora’s box for the relationship between India-Pakistan and Bangladesh. The relations are already not very friendly and adding one more contention is not quite wise.
