India Demands Diamond Back

The Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, has spent the past three days in India on business in regard to trade and investment between the two countries. While there the idea of returning the Koh-i-Noor diamond to India was brought up. The 105 carat diamond was taken by Britain back in colonial times when the country demanded jewels from India. The diamond is currently set in the royal crown and is on display in the Tower of London and the Prime Minister was quoted saying that ""I certainly don't believe in 'returnism', as it were. I don't think that's sensible." Do you think that India should have the diamond returned to them or that the Britain Prime Minister is right in his decision?
