How colonial statues vanished from India s cities

How colonial statues vanished from India’s cities © Provided by The Times of India Early on the morning of August 10, 1965, a municipal watchman was on his rounds of Horniman Circle when he received a great shock: The marble figures of Lord Cornwallis and Lord Wellesley had been beheaded.

Although India were slated to play a First-Class game the day after the third and final Test, the players did manage to let their hair down. The disciplinarian, Col Hemu Adhikari, did not enforce his usual regimes and let the team soak in the moment. The team celebrated the occasion at an Indian restaurant, which had hilariously rebranded its menu to include items such as Gavaskar Curry, Wadekar Cutlet, Chandrasekhar Soup and Bedi Pulao.
