A day at Colombo Museum
This is a Statue of a colonial administrator acting as governor general. The writing below the statue gives the perspective of how they viewed their invasion of Countries and their People. They tried to display that they were doing favours to the Indigenous Population, whilst their main interests were, Land Grabbing, Pillaging, Stealing Valuable Artefacts and a host of other Misdemeanours.
The railways were built to FastTrack locally produced Tea, Rubber, Spices, Copra for coconut oil, Ebony, Mahogany, Teak, plus a host of other local produce, to the ports for shipment to Europe for High Profits from Very Low Labour and Material Costs. This assisted the rebuild of the colonialist European countries infrastructures from two world wars, Korean War and inflation to bounce back with buoyant Economies, All at the Expense of the Subjugated countries.
