Cobra, i take offence to your use of the word "coolies". It is bad enough that others in Guyana use that word to dehumanize and denigrate Indo Guyanese in Guyana. Now you have adopted their word to refer to East Indians, who by the way are celebrating Diwali. Self hate and self oppression (Friere's idea of prescription )is the worst kind of dehuminization .
From the news, I understand Jagdeo was there celebrating Diwali with them, so it is obvious that there will be lots of Indo Guyanese at the function. Also, since the coalition came to power and Jagdeo was elected as General Secretary of the PPP , the news has reported that he had travelled Guyana widely, meeting with Guyanese of all ethnic backgrounds Discussing issues listening to their concerns.
your stereotyping of East Indians is questionable. On this site there has been numerous comments how Jagdeo initiated violence against the opposition and its supporters. Now you want to have a different narrative.
