The image of Devi Sita sitting patiently under the Ashoka tree waiting for Lord Ram to take her back to where she belongs is a familiar one. The transatlantic slave trade transported about 17 million African men, women, and children across the Atlantic Ocean to work as slaves in plantations producing cash crops like sugar, cotton, and tobacco. Lloyd’s was the foremost player in marine insurance at the time and played a crucial role in the Atlantic slave trade by insuring the slave ships. A spokesperson for the company acknowledges the mistakes made by Lloyd’s in the past, and says that “the organization’s historic participation in the transatlantic slave trade, and earlier failings to fully acknowledge this history, were anything but brave. We approach this process with profound humility and a spirit of openness, and we are grateful to everyone who continues to hold us to account.” Even though Lloyd’s has stepped up when called out for the injustices of yore, the UK has been the most non-co-operative nation in the repatriation movement, failing to even acknowledge the number of Indian artefacts it possesses out of which the Koh-i-noor tops the list, followed by Tipu Sultan’s wooden tiger and a 7.5 foot Buddha statue displayed in Birmingham.
