Mountain of Light, one of the world’s best-known diamonds, is on the Queen Elizabeth’s crown. But the Indians want it back. A group of Indian stars and businessmen has united to instruct lawyers to begin legal proceedings in London’s High Court to return the Mountain of Light diamond. The group says that the 105-carat diamond worth a reported £100m was stolen from its true home in India and they are demanding that the UK Government returns it.
The diamond was in the crown worn by the Queen Elizabeth at her crowning ceremony in 1953.
Bollywood star Bhumicka Singh, also part of the group, said: "The Mountain of Light is not just a 105-carat stone, but part of our history and culture and should undoubtedly be returned."
British Lawyers instructed by the "Mountain of Light" group to return the stone, said they would base their case on the Return of Cultural Objects Act, which gives national institutions in the UK the power to return stolen art.
Satish Jakhu, of Birmingham-based law firm Rubric Lois King, said they would make their claim under the common law doctrine of "trespass to goods", arguing that the government had stolen the diamond. He added that they would be taking their case to the International Court of Justice.
Historian Andrew Roberts told the Mail on Sunday: "Those involved in this ridiculous case should recognize that the British Crown Jewels is precisely the right place for the Mountain of Light diamond to reside, in grateful recognition for over three centuries of British involvement in India, which led to the modernisation, development, protection, agrarian advance, linguistic unification and ultimately the democratisa-tion of the sub-continent."
According to legend, the gem can only be worn by God or women, and whoever wears the jewel will become extremely powerful, but if a man wears it, he will meet an unfortunate end.
The UK Government has so far rejected the claims.
23. What do the Indian stars and businessmen want to do?
24. What is the use of the Return of Cultural Objects Act?
25. What will a man become if he wears the diamond according to the legend?
选项
A、It enables UK institutions to return cultural objects.
B、It gives Queen Elizabeth the power to collect diamonds.
C、Cases in International Court of Justice are based on it.
D、It recognizes the great British achievement in India.
答案
A
解析
根据该案件的代理律师所说,他们将以《文物归还法案》(Return of Cultural Objects Act)为理据。要求英国机构归还被偷窃的“光之山“钻石,因此选A项。B项表述错误,该法案没有赋予英女王收集钻石的权利:C项表述太广泛,该法案仅针对录音中的案件,不是所有案件;D项是历史学家Andrew Roberts用来反驳该诉讼的理据,是错误项。
