The British Empire is no longer alive and as a result, any Indian artefact that remains should be returned to India.
The Koh-i-Nur Diamond was mined and found in India and should be returned to its home in India, not in an alien land that mistreated millions of Indians.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the Koh-I-Noor diamond is part of the Crown Jewels and the decision to return it would not be the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
