Narendra Modi was supposed to unveil that monument but something happened to cancel the visit. May 5 coming up. Let's wait and see who will have the honour.
Being a Guyanese historian, "do you think those headwear was around in 1838?"
The Nehru cap in particular.
Old photographs shows all the men wearing turbans (phagri).

Phagri/turban was the fashion. Nehru caps came in the early 20th century with the independence movement. The last batches of indentured immigrants might have worn them.

But let's overlook that. The monument, the monument --- our ancestors' "murti" is the whole idea. Remember and revere.
