The plinths of Coronation Park are emblazoned with circular plaques on which are inscribed statements adapted from George Orwell’s parable about the brittleness of Imperial authority, ‘Shooting an Elephant’ (1936). One of the plaques says : “It was at this moment, as he stood there with the weapon in his hands, that he first grasped
the hollowness, the futility.”
