Bai, dem British looted Boatloads from India. 

Whenever I see British Royalty flaunting their wealth and expensive jewelry, I feel like grabbing the gems and saying they're stolen loot.

Since Queen Victoria's time the Royal Crown Jewels have included the massive 105.6-carat Kohinoor diamond from India.

A Yogi from India told me if I wanted to see the wealth and history of India don't go to India. Go to England. It's all in the British Museums.

When hubby was with the US Army and stationed in Germany, he went on weekend tours all over Europe and took lots of pics. I went with him on some tours. He visited the Louvre in Paris and was told he can't take pics of the Mona Lisa; I have a huge painting in my home, though.
