flag NYC Mayor asks King Charles to return Koh-i-Noor diamond to India.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called on King Charles III to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond to India during the monarch’s state visit to the U.S., highlighting the gem's contested history as a symbol of colonialism. The diamond, currently part of the British Crown Jewels, was taken from the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century and has been a subject of international dispute. Mamdani made the remarks before meeting Charles at a 9/11 memorial event, though it is unclear if he raised the issue during their interaction.
