I love this channel. Particularly because it reveals South Indian history, which is little known today in the English language. So, many thanks for that.
Hi, first my congratulations for such awesome effort! In this video though, there is slight need of correction. At 6:41 you mention that till date the diamond was only worn by British queens. While this information is not wrong, this is not correct either. Britain has 2 types of queens: 1) Queen Consort--- some one who is Queen because she is married to the King of UK and 2) Queen Regnant--- Queen by birth right (like Queen Elizabeth II etc). Out of these 2 types, only Queen Regnants are actually rulers, they reign (Queen Consorts are not rulers in any way). Now, since the curse of the diamond seemed to affect the "rulers" who possessed it, it was (heresay) decided that this diamond will only be passed on to Queen Consorts! Thus this diamond has now been put in the crown of the Queen Consort (this crown does not form a part of the British crown jewels). So the Queen Regnant (like Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth II) never used this diamond. The crowns used by the rulers (ie the King or Queen Regnants) are: 1) St Edward's Crown also called the coronation crown: this is the crown which is used to "crown" the ruler during coronation ceremony and 2) the Imperial State Crown: exquisite, bejwelled crown which monarchs use right after coronation and during other ceremonies like State Opening of Parliament. Kohinoor does not sit in any of these two crowns. So, my request is, please cross check the information and make necessary corrections accordingly. Thank you!
This comment is 99% correct. The minor errors are: Queen Victoria did wear the Kohinoor. It was first set in an armband that could also be worn as a broach before it was recut. You can see the broach in the video at 5:49. There is a replica of the armband set with a replica of the original stone on display at the Tower of London. Also the Kohinoor is currently in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother which is the crown shown at 6:16. This is not the crown of Elizabeth I as stated in the video who ruled and died long before the British came to India There are also 5 types of queens in the UK. In addition to the 2 types in the comment, there are also: - Queen Dowager who is the widow of a king - Queen Mother who is Queen Dowager but also the mother of the reigning monarch. - Queen Regent is a Queen consort that rules in place of an absent king (ie while her husband is away or Queen Dowager that rules while her children are too young to rule)
@@r88r88 Thanks indeed for the fact checking of my comment and such well written reply. Mentioning the other types of queens (Queen Dowager etc) completely escaped me. Once again thanks for such a well-written reply!
ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE DIAMOND ? MATA BHADRAKALI OF WARANGAL (curse of "only a woman can wear it with impunity" was placed by the temple priests, way back in 11th century) - the diamond was installed as Her 3RD EYE during the PRAN-PRATISHTHA ceremony !! Details conveniently skipped out by the sheikh-ular TCS Additional note - yet, after Victoria wore it, her male heirs (son / grandson / nephew / grand nephews, whoever was in line to the throne) died mysteriously or went mad !
The Kohinoor is also associated with the Shyamantaka Mani, a jewel in Hindu mythology said to have magical powers. Surya, the Sun God wore the Shyamantaka Mani. He had given it to his devotee Satrajit as a gift and it later went to Lord Krishna

they STOPPED WEARING IT OUT OF FEAR .....LOL ROFL LMAO WERENT BRAVE ENOUGH TO WEAR IT (contrast it with popular WW2 slogan - be brave, be british ...ha ha)
How silly? The names Hyderabad and Golconda (at the time Golconda Sultanate included Kollur Mine and brahmin traders called Golconda vyaparulu from the Kollur area traded diamonds) were attributed to a much bigger geographical area at the time when they were referred to as the Diamond Capitals. The present day Hyderabad and Golconda do not include the older areas which were the main locations for Diamond and Pearl excavation or mining.

Yes. Islam's answer is violence and war. Jesus and Moses never taught to spread the faith by war. One of the prophecies of Jesus was: "He shall be called, 'Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.'" Prophet Isaiah's book 9:6 in the Old Testament of the Bible
How can you say the brits remain uncursed? Britain was the unsolicited power back then , the kingdom that spreads over the globe. Just see where they stand post WW2 and what had they lost since ww2. Look at the present situation of UK. It ve more refugees than the native British. So ,your statement of brits being uncursed is absolutely wrong .
1:29 Tax paid by Bharathians through their hard work and these guys decorated their chairs and seats with gold and diamonds with that money, such a tragedy..

Awesome narration...crisp, clear and concise
Making this history accessible to non-scholars is brilliant. Thank you so much. Beautifully produced. Well done!

Very underrated channel!
Both narrators are pleasure to watch
Wonderful video. Great narration by both the narrators. Love the way you present the stories. All the best for future videos.
Very good information. Thank you

The female has a very soothing voice. Well narrated by both 😊
Suggest a video about the Mughals - especially the not very famous events like Humayun death etc
Keep the work 💖
Least watched, underrated Yourtube channel, great content and narrative. Very sad.
Pls make a video Indian japanese Buddhist monk bodhisena and his presence in Nara Temple.
Wonderful narration
Thank you so much!
Wow great
Nice one
Thanks!
I love every story..... watching every episode with gaping mouth like 5yr old child
Queen Elizabeth I? She reigned in the fifteenth century. Perhaps you meant R II E ?
The Kohinoor is also associated with the Shyamantaka Mani, a jewel in Hindu mythology said to have magical powers. Surya, the Sun God wore the Shyamantaka Mani. He had given it to his devotee Satrajit as a gift and it later went to Lord Krishna
British monarchy is also on its way out. Kohinoor is working it's magic😂

Mr Man again your Music 🎵🎶 audio is HORRIBLE VERY DISTURBING TO LISTEN
KINDLY HEAR WITH HEAD PHONES.
looking for more untold history from Tamil nadu state
Oh no King Charles lll is going to wear it on his Coronation 😮😬😬
The legend says Kohinoor belonged to lord Krishna.

brits need to give a lot of stolen things back.
Let britain keep all those cursed diamonds .dont bring it here
Britain lost their empire and is now in the dumps….The curse continues. The gem was initially on the Vigraha of a Devi temple near Warangal.
Perhaps Britain needs to sell off the diamond to help them recover from their economic failure
The female voice is not suiting the narration
Her voice has a magic ✨
She is great.
Your ears need fixing, or your attitude 😏
@@christopherellis2663 I am free to have my opinion Christopher 👍
Voice is okay, but not her expressions
Please use correct map of india while making videos
thieves..
Waiting for a blockbuster called "The curse" a la Indiana Jones! Where the queen becomes a king, because of pronouns. You'd never know!
It should be returned to Andhra Pradesh. Where it originated. Haha.
How can you say the brits remain uncursed? Britain was the unsolicited power back then , the kingdom that spreads over the globe.
Just see where they stand post WW2 and what had they lost since ww2.
Look at the present situation of UK. It ve more refugees than the native British.
So ,your statement of brits being uncursed is absolutely wrong .
1:29 Tax paid by Bharathians through their hard work and these guys decorated their chairs and seats with gold and diamonds with that money, such a tragedy..
oh don't worry.
the curse is still there.
look at what has happened to the empah...
it has fallen as fast as it rose.
and now that Chuck is king enthroned...who knows what will happen
Very interesting story. Don't mind but please change the female compere. Her manner of articulation and over expressions doesn't suit the narrative.
She is excellent. Her articulation is top notch.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 She comes across as artificial. The gentleman is more controlled.
