Recently, UK MP of Indian origin, Keith Vaz, claimed that India deserves to get the priceless Kohinoor diamond back from the Brits, joining in the chorus of reparations that Shashi Tharoor recently ignited.

In fact, according to the Curse of the Kohinoor - "He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity." From a brief study of the timeline of this stone, you might even start believing this curse! Check out this timeline of the priceless Kohinoor diamond.

The stone is set into the crown of Queen Elizabeth, wife of King George VI. It was only passed on to the wife of the male heir from then on.
