Django is still chained, but three cheers to reparative justice

Kudos to the The Fitzwilliam Museum for the unconditional acknowledgement of the deplorable source of its funding - profits amassed from the transatlantic trade of enslaved African people - as also the continued benefit.

It would be great if the details of the commitment to reparative justice are also shared with common public from time to time. Will help keep the faith in humanity alive, if not kicking.

Kudos to the museum authorities for the profound exhibits, proactive staff, clean rest rooms, and excellent upkeep. This is our umpteenth visit to the iconic landmark but it continues to inspire us with its oven-fresh insights.

Two exhibits of legendary French artists linger in memory this time round, one by the master of expression Henri Matisse and the other by perceptive portraitist Edme-Adolphe Fontaine.

Coming back to reparative justice, we don't expect the yet-not-so-Great Britain to return our Kohinoor diamond any time soon, but we do appreciate one-off therapeutic efforts like the plea made by UK Conservative MP Bob Blackman to the UK government for tendering a formal apology to India on the anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. There's been none so far - formal or informal - which means Britian is yet to adopt the new normal, which it must. If UK starts taking baby steps towards becoming more human and humane, the return on investment will be phenomenal, and London will reinstate its glory as the world's best city.

Currently, it is in poor shape - what with gory sights of garbage littered on the streets, significantly affected Tube service amid call for workforce strikes, massive downsizing at most retail outlets, 'vaping smoking' crowds anywhere and everywhere, growing instances of crime across many boroughs, and rampant terrorism of tourism severely impacting the city's vintage value.
