Diamond is crystalline in nature.    
Hence, the structure of the diamond is not uniform in all direction.
It has different and inconsistent chemical bonding. 
The properties of a material vary with different directions i.e. they are dependent on direction.
This type of behaviour is called anisotropy.
Anisotropy affect the polarization direction of the light.
