New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he would urge King Charles III to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond to India during his U.S. visit. Speaking ahead of a September 11 attacks memorial event, Mamdani highlighted the gemstone’s contested colonial history. The Koh-i-Noor, meaning “Mountain of Light,” is one of the world’s most famous diamonds, weighing about 105.6 carats and valued at over $200 million. His remarks reignite debate over the restitution of cultural artifacts tied to imperial-era acquisitions and ownership claims.
