I am learning so much on this thread, about all this stuff posted and about who is posting.
Some questions. Why deny people the labels they use to define themselves. I am certain those labels are many. So one can be Guyanese Indian. I say that I am Indian and black. Many say that they are Indian meaning that they are East Indian or if East Indian background. Why use this to say that they are denying that they are Guyanese. To further your own political agenda? Also, those who say that they are Indians, maybe a closer affinity to India, maybe ask why? Why that sense of closeness to India. Why is it that many East Indians question their conditions in Guyana?
Furthermore, if we accept the diversity of cultures within Guyana, and one group actively propagates its culture and tradition, understanding that that culture has changed over time, why define it as being clannish.. Is it because a particular group has totally accepted another's culture and have forgotten its own? What is the political agenda?
