Historical misrepresentation in the Indian Arrival Monument
DEAR EDITOR,
I believe that the picture shown in the Indian Arrival Monument at Palmyra in Berbice does not give a true reflection of the actual event in several aspects, including the head-wear of the male immigrant.
The male immigrant is shown wearing a head-dress reminiscent of what India’s first Prime Minister, the late Jawaharlal Nehru, initiated and popularized as the “Nehru cap”; I do not think that cap existed when the Indian immigrants came to British Guiana from India.
As far as I know the male immigrants wore a piece of cloth which they tied around their heads.
