Recently I mentioned how Cheddi Jagan took his daughter, her boyfriend and myself to D'Aguiar's DEMICO HOUSE for ice cream in 1972. That was only 8 years after Burnham and D'Aguiar had forced the PPP out of office at the cost of heavy bloodshed and loss of property.

Now, I think this picture was taken between 1961 and 1964 even as Indians, Africans and Portuguese were engaged in fierce combat on the streets of Georgetown and in the countryside.

The conclusion I drew a good while back is that we the people were/are following politicians at our own peril. Those three men in the photo were comrades privately but antagonists publicly.
