Balram Singh Rai, Boysie Ramkarran, and Cheddi Jagan.  I think one of those guys is Fenton Ramsahoye though he may have been too young???  He was Guyana's youngest attorney general.

Bibi, Fenton is not in this photo, however, my hero Balram Singh Rai is there. And I agree he is one damn handsome Indo Guyanese I've ever seen. I have this photos hung up in my living room.Balram Singh Rai.jpg6

Thanks.  He is also my hero.  Still alive and living in London.  He would/should have been President of Guyana.  I hope he is reading this and smiling to himself.

Balram Singh Rai recalled that not a single East Indian voice was publicly heard protesting his removal from Government in 1962. The East Indian community failed to appreciate his dedicated and self -sacrificing service to them and to take the option he gave them two years later when he contested the 1964 General Elections with his Justice Party.He said that he would have liked to do more for Guyana and for East Indians in particular - he had just started - but they deprived themselves of his service.

Balram lamented how sad, very sad it was that many Guyanese East Indians remained deprived of their heritage and the fruits of the labours for their ancestors of over 100 years.

He advocated and implemented a policy of recruiting members of the Police Force to reflect a cross section of the Guyanese people, as a result of which many suitable qualified officers including East Indians received early promotion to officer rank in the Force.

BS Rai personally, along with Mrs. Rai saved Dr. Jagan from certain death when he was attacked by a PNC mob after a road show one night in Georgetown to welcome the Duke of Edinburg in 1962.

Balram Singh Rai embraced his principles for his people, as he embraced the truth. He is one  class act. None in the past/current PPP can even come close to this man, and that includes all the Jagans, the Ramkarrans, the Nagamootoos, the Ramjattans and many others.

He was a believer in "SATYAMEVA JAYATE" -truth alone triumphs.
