Also, yesterday, I got awesome e-mail from my dad, which is a follow-up to some conversation we had on Mother’s Day about the Koh-i-Noor diamond.  Which somehow spiraled into some discussion about nationalism, wherein my mother basically called my father (all Pakistanis) weak for allowing themselves to be colonized by the British.  Totes awk !!

please read the history of its origin in hindustan present india,its forceful garbing by nadir shah the invading king of pershia now iran.pakistan afghanistan were under the persian empire called khurasan province.after the assasination of king nadir shah of persia,his deputy ahmad shah abdali founded the durrani clan and controlled and founded afghanistan.he founded the boundry from amu river in the north of afghanistan to attak river.the name and creation of afghanistan is earlier than pakistan but still a recent creation.
when the sikh nation lead by ranjeet singh their spiritual leader gurunanek invaded afghanistan the afghans lost the territory from khyberpass all the way to attak river present day nwfp/peshawar to the sicks.they remained the rulers of punjab and the north west frontier province.ranjeet singh obtained by force?purchased the cursed diamond from ahmad shah abdali and kept it in their possession.
when the british invaded that area ranjeet singh was defeated then his deputy dilip singh handed it to the queen.
please read the story of the curse too.
love dad
