Kala Ghoda in association with Khaki Heritage Foundation presents #LostAndFound - Fort’s Missing Statues, A talk by Vinayak Talwar. All proceeds from this event will be donated towards the Mumbai Dabbawallas Association made possible by Khaana Chahiye.

Once upon a time, Mumbai's Fort district was peppered with colonial statues of British royalty, nobility and Governors and Governor Generals. And not just before independence, but even 15 years after. Until a nationalist movement in the 1960s saw many of them getting vandalized and disfigured in an attempt to erase India’s colonial past. Some statues were hidden away and some even went missing, their place being taken over by statues of Indian leaders. But the clues of a past not too long back still linger around. At our Online Talk '#LostAndFound - Fort's Missing Statues', Vinayak Talwar of Khaki Heritage Foundation takes us around the Fort area to show us the locations of these statues and tells us who they memorialized, what befell them and other stories around these relics of the Raj.
