Britain made Kohinoor world's most famous diamond: Dalrymple
Historian William Dalrymple says it was the "British bragging" and how Britishers made it "a symbol of what they had taken from India" that made the Kohinoor the world's most famous diamond. He claims this has backfired on Britain as most Indians associate the Kohinoor with "colonial loot," in his book 'Kohinoor: The Story of the World's Most Infamous Diamond'.
