For almost 75 years the haughty silhouette of the Gateway of India has risen above the waters of the Bay of Bombay, a stern symbol built to glorify an empire on which the sun never set. Intended to commemorate the landing in India of their imperial Majestic George V and Queen Mary, the gateway was for years the first vision many an Englishman had of the land that was his nation's proudest imperial possession. On February 28, 1948, the last British soldiers left on Indian soil passed under its span, marking with their departure the end of three centuries of British military presence in India and opening the countdown on the Age of Imperialism
