<<India is the largest diamond producer of this world. Was diamond first discovered in India?>>
To the best of my knowledge, the first diamonds were mined in India. They were discovered in India in the 4th century BC and India was the only source until the early 1700s. The earliest known reference to diamonds is in a Sanskrit manuscript, the Arthasastra by Kautilya.
Please correct me if you find anything to the contrary.
