Who should it be returned to? The British Royal Family has had it since 1850, when it was given to Queen Victoria by the British East India Company. The British East India Company got it the year before, when it was surrendered by the then 10-year-old Maharaja Sir Duleep Singh of the Sikh Empire to the British at the end of the Second Anglo-Sikh War. He had it because he had been installed as Maharaja of the Sikh Empire in 1843 after a coup in 1839 and several years of instability. The Sikh Empire had it since 1813, when its founder, Ranjit Singh, took it from Shuja Shah Durrani after Shuja Shah Durrani was deposed and exiled from the Durrani Empire in Afghanistan. Shuja Shah Durrani claims that Ranjit Singh had his son tortured until he gave him the diamond. Shuja Shah Durrani had it because the founder of the Durrani Empire, Ahmad Shah, was given it c. 1750 by either the grandson of Nader Shah or the head of Nader Shah's harem, following Nader Shah's assassination. Nader Shah was the founder of the Afsharid dynasty of Iran. He got it when he looted the Mughal Empire in India in 1739 and took it from the Peacock Throne of the Mughal emperors. Before that, it gets a little hazy. However, it appears to have bounced around the Mughal empire since 1526, occasionally being gifted or stolen (or stolen while being gifted). The Mughal Empire got it as ransom after Humayun, the son of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, got it in ransom for a family captured during the Battle of Panipat, in which the Mughal Empire was founded with the conquest of the Delhi Sultanate in northern India. The Delhi Sultanate had it since 1310, after it subjugated the Kakatiya dynasty of southern India. I wasn't able to easily determine where they got it from. So yeah, the British may have it as a result of colonialism and empire, but that colonialism and empire dates back to before the United Kingdom existed. Maybe the British Royals shouldn't keep it, but chances are that whoever they return it to is just the second-to-last (or third-to-last or fourth-to-last) conqueror of the diamond.
