Balram Singh Rai was a segregationist and colonial pawn not a national hero. His position to head a party was to act as a wedge to resistance against the colonials.

This was my initial response to yuji's thread: "East Indian hero, yuji22? I nominate BALRAM SINGH RAI." Please note that I regard Rai as an East Indian hero, not a national hero.

Knowing yuji22, I presumed he wanted East Indian heroes but just dashed in the word "national" to mask his purpose. Mind you, I'm not saying an East Indian cannot be one of Guyana's national heroes.
