Last Week Tonight with John Oliver included a section about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to the UK earlier in 2015. The host claimed that the Kohinoor diamond had been “taken” from India and was now perched on a “elegant head sofa” (he gestured at a picture of the British throne) in the video. The Royal Trust Collection claims that the late Queen Elizabeth II also wore it for her 1953 coronation.

John Oliver had joked about Britain’s refusal to give the diamond back to India, and shared that the response of the British government was like, “I understand that you want the diamond, but the thing is that we have the diamond, you don’t and we’re going to keep having it forever. So, in summary, finders keepers, go **** yourself. Cheerio (bye).”

Taking a dig at the British and their tendency to ‘steal’ artifacts from its former colonies, John Oliver had ended the video by saying, “The entire British Museum is an active crime scene.” Raveena tweeted his clip and wrote, “Just fantastic! His punchline, ‘The entire British museum should be declared an active crime scene!’” She also added laughing emojis to her tweet.
