Is it odd that India declared a day of state mourning for the British Queen?

Flags were lowered on Sunday and there was "no official entertainment".... not quite sure what that means.

The Indian PM wanted to convey his respects to the passing of the queen but many Indians were infuriated, not just because of the fact they were brutally colonised by Britain but also because the Royal Family still hold a number of treasures taken from India including the Kohinoor Diamond.

Shows how the leadership is disconnected from the actual people. There's really no excuse as to why that stuff hasn't been returned to India under the queen's reign

@deadgerbil it would set a precedent of them returning all wealth stolen during the British Empire

@BabyLonia you mean now we need to start colonizing Britain so that she is able to do it right? 🤔
