The true diplomat. When my grandparents used to intervene and stop village fights, they said both sides were wrong.


Of course you prefer the usual "bad black man assaulting the poor innocent and weak/emasculated Indian".  That is the PPP narrative.

 

You do know that this was peddled to undermine the confidence of the Indian male, rendering them with a feeling of weakness, hence a need to remain dependent on the PPP, no matter how badly the PPP treated them.

 

This is why "men" like cobra remain intimidated by African WOMEN!

All this confusing brainwashing was too much for my villagers to bear. They loved Jagan and his wife who made many campaign trips there which were broadcasted from the public road. I was a little tot and had to mala (garland) them. Then in June 1970 after my Mom had seen enough eye-pass, she sent away my eldest sis to NYC who then sponsored the rest of us.
