The story of Kohinoor | Koh-e-Noor
The Koh-e-Noor: is the most celebrated diamond of Golconda.
Koh-e-Noor means ‘Diamond of the mountain of light’ was first given by
Nadir Shah of Iran, when he first saw it in 1739 in Delhi. Koh-e-Noor in
uncut form was given to Mir Jumla, the Golconda general who was
responsible for the diamond mining in that area.
Mir Jumla presented it to Shah Jahan (Aurangazeb’s descendant Mohammad Shah) in 1739. Nadirshah sacked, looted and carried away Peacock throne and Koh-e-Noor to Iran. After Nadirshah murder at Kelat in 1747, his grandson Shah Rukh, in 1751, gave it to Ahmad Shah Durrani of Afghanistan as a reward for saving his life. From him in 1793, it passed to his eldest son Shah Zaman, on his deposition, the diamond was concealed in a mud wall of the prison and passed to his third brother Sultan Shuja. On his accession, he wore it in a bracelet. After his dethronement, families of Zaman and Shuja went to Lahore for help of Ranjith Singh, the ruler of Punjab. The latter demanded Koh-e-Noor for the help. It thus passed to Ranjith Singh. After his death, inherited by Dalip Singh and the Koh-e-Noor remained in the jewel chamber of the Lahore treasury. Following the II Sikh War in 1849, the East Indian Company, annexed Punjab. To recover the outstanding debts to the company, the Lahore treasury was seized, including the Koh-e-Noor diamond, Lord Dalhousie presented it to Queen Victoria on 3rd July 1850. The diamonds left India in 1850 never came back to India or Golconda.
