“Excessive dancing invites disorder and demons.”

“For Her Majesty’s Government, keep the natives orderly.”

Colonial rule was not just about controlling land and labour. It was about controlling culture, expression, assembly, and identity.

The language sounds ridiculous today. The mentality should concern us even more.
