History of Kohinoor Diamond
Kahinur diamond of ancient India was discovered in the mines of Golconda, in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh state of present-day, from which famous diamonds were also known as Noor-ins-Ain. But when this diamond came out from the mine, its firmness information is not in history.
Kohinoor means the mountain of light, but with the glow of this diamond, many kings of the Sultanate went into the sun. It is believed that this diamond is cursed and this belief is not from the 13th century. The first authentic description of this diamond is found in Baburnama, according to which it was near the diamond of any of Gwalior, around 1294, although its name was not Kohinoor. But this diamond was identified in 1306 when a person wearing it wrote that whatever person wearing this diamond will rule this world, but his misfortune will start with this. However, his point was rejected by saying his arrogance, but if we look at the history since then, then it can be said that this is a very good fact.
Many empires kept this diamond with them, but whoever kept it was never happy. In the beginning of the 14th century, this diamond came to the Kakatiya dynasty and with this the bad days of Kakatiya dynasty ruled from 1083 AD and the Kakatiya dynasty ended with the defeat in 1323 by Tughlaq Shah First.
After the decline of the Kakatiya empire, this diamond stayed with Mohammad bin Tughluq from 1325 to 1351 AD and till the middle of the 16th century it remained with various Mughal sultanate and the end of all was so bad which could not be imagined.
Shah Jahan founded this Kohinoor diamond in his Peacock Throne but his luxurious and most popular rule went to his son Aurangzeb. His favorite wife Mumtaz was waiting and his son interrogated him in his own palace.
In 1739, Persian ruler Nadir Shah came to India and attacked the Mughal sultanate. In this way the Mughal sultanate collapsed and Nadir Shah took the frames Taas and Kohinoor diamonds to Persia along with him. He named the diamond Kohinoor. Nadir Shah was killed in 1747 AD and Kohinoor reached the diamond Afghanistan Shanh Shah Ahmad Shah Durrani. And after his death, his descendants reached Shuja Durrani. After some time mo Shah disrupted Shah Shuja. In 1813 AD, the disastrous Shanh Shah Shah of Afghanistan, fleeing to Lahore with Shuja Kohenur ran away. He gave Kohinoor diamond to King Ranjit Singh of Punjab and in return, Raja Ranjit Singh returned Shah Zuza to the throne of Afghanistan. Thus Kohinoor diamond came back to India.
But the story does not end there. After a few years of coming to Kohinoor diamond, Maharaja Ranjit Singh dies and the British rule over the Sikh empire. With this the diamond becomes part of the British Empire. Kohinoor diamond is taken to Britain and handed over to Queen Victoria and she is told that she is cursed. The Queen understands the matter and she wears the diamond herself in 1852 of Jadva in the Taj and it will testify that this woman will always wear the crown. If a man becomes the king of Britain, then he will wear his wife in this place.
But many historians believe that despite being held by the woman, its effect did not end and that is also responsible for the end of Britain's empire. Britain was ruling half the world until 1850 but after that its subordinate country became independent one by one.
It is said that the diamond coming out of the mine was 793 carats. But till 1852, it was 186 carats. But when it reached Britain, Mahari did not like it, so it was cut again after which it was 105.6 carat.
What is the price of Kohinoor Diamond:-
Kohinoor diamond has not been sold even in its entire history till now either it was won by either a king by another king or given in the prize. So its price could never be seen. But what can be estimated about it is that you can calculate the fact that 60 years ago, a graph Pink Diamond in Hong Kong was sold for $ 46 million, which was only 24.78 carats. Accordingly, Kohinoor's current price would be several billion dollars.
