A recent video of a woman in Kerala playfully but assertively confronting two British tourists over colonial loot has gone viral, sparking a significant debate online. The interaction, which was captured on video and shared on Instagram by user @discoverwithemma_, shows the woman directly telling the tourists, "English people have looted us in India… treasure, black pepper, everything. Kohinoor is a precious and rare diamond you have looted from here. Give it back to India."

The tourists, who described the encounter as "one of the most awkward moments" of their trip, can be seen laughing awkwardly and jokingly responding, "We'll speak to King Charles and let you know."

The viral clip has garnered 8.8 million views so far.
