The Koh-i-Noor is diamond that many people fight to get it and it was with the Indians but now it is with British. Also the Indians trying to get back the Mountain of Light. In the anther hand there are many stories about this diamond but all was not real except the story which was written by Edwin W Streeter, because he researched. Also the author crossed UK and India to get more information about the Koh-i-Noor form 1304-1849. In addition the diamond passed in many stages from Khilji Dynasty to the British who paid 125000 rupees to get it. Also the diamond was reshaped and cut it many time to put it on display. In addition, there are many of the British royal family wear the crown and in 2002 the last time seen the Queen Mother’s are it.  "He who owns this diamond will own the world”.
