Tonight, you’re not a merchant, a soldier, or a master of empire. You’re a servant—a barefoot South Indian laborer in the back courtyards of colonial Singapore. You scrub, carry, fetch, and bleed in silence. No name, no wage, no voice. The bungalow’s floors shine, the bell rings, and the dog gets fed. But no one remembers who cooked the rice or cleaned the blood.
This is not a tale of rebellion. It’s not a story of triumph. It’s the long, slow erasure of someone the empire used and forgot.
