The Koh-I-Noor Diamond DIANE Publishing Company, 2005 - 257 من الصفحات The story of one fabulous diamond whose value could feed the entire world for 2-1/2 days. Four races: Indian, Afghan, Persian & English, whose destinies were inextricably involved with this gem. A Persian oilman's son who went on to virtually rule Golconda & its vast diamond mines. A Mughal prince, hated by history, who was sinned against as much as sinning. Only an Indian or a Persian could tell this great story with all its nuances. Author Iradj Amini, born in Iran (Persia) & the Shah of Iran's last ambassador to Tunisia, has become a writer. Living in exile in Paris, he overcomes his nostalgia for Persia by visiting India frequently & by writing on Indian history. |
