Where are the Georges? - News Summed Up

Where are the Georges?


That brings to mind the various statues in Madras of King George V, the only King Emperor who visited India as a reigning monarch. During the former visit he came to Madras and it was in its commemoration that Black Town in Madras became George Town in 1911. The George V visits were commemorated with several statues. There were two life-size statues to George V in the city. Is this the George V bust hosted in the Fort Museum?
