So he took us down a destructive path by dismantling Indian Leadership. Check see how many Indians he ridiculed. I put him in the same category as Forbes-asbsloute demented individuals.
This is bunk. There is no moral equivalence with Burnham and Jagan.
Exactly. My buddy Carib likes to make up stories to equate Jagan with Burnham although there are none. Jagan does not have the brutal governing record that Burnham did. Even f one generously take Carib's stretched imagination that PPP supporters allegedly did terrible things in the 60s, there is no nexus between those allegations and Jagan.
Jagan was communist but those Indian businessmen in Water St, Lombard St, Regent St and High St were not communists. Why did black hooligans/rioters burn down and loot those Indian shops and stores on Friday February 16, 1962?
Furthermore, in 1963 during the PNC-incited 80-day general strike 12-year-old Gilbakka was not communist. Why did a gang of marauding black hooligans pounce on him, lift him up and dash him into an eel-infested gutter in D'Urban Street, causing his clothes and book-bag to get soaked? I was just a Form 2 Central High School pupil. That unwarranted racial assault caused me to seek a transfer to Zeeburg Secondary, a lower-grade school.
