man helping all people of Guyana

Do you think someone will kill Granger in public like they did Gandhi? I thought you would have picked Idi Amin. Granger and him look alike Brothers. The only problem was that Idi snatch all de food from Granger and that is why he was big and Granger looks like he hungry all the time. Don't insult the legacy of Bapu.

Riff, we have to refrain from this kinda comparison. It does no good to Granger or Gandhi. We must avoid regarding our presidents as demigods. Pandit Sharma of the Guyana Pandits Council had called Burnham a Mahatma. Moses Nagamootoo had said that Cheddi Jagan was the Mahatma Gandhi of Guyana. Such pronouncements were unwarranted. Political idol-worshiping is a bad thing.

Comparing Granger to Mahatma Gandhi ?

Should I start by mentioning  his role in the army ?

Participation in Rigged elections under Dictators Burnham Hoyte ?

Allegations of Berbice Ballot Box Murders ?

Allegations of rigging of his own leadership race in Linden ?

Rigging of the Last National Elections and refusing a recount ?

Someone must be smoking something.

Unfortunately a lot of PPP old timers still worshipBurnham, even more so on GNI. The mere mention of his name instils a near godly like fear in them.

The KABAKHA took advantage on the nation due to the cold war,both African and Indian suffer.

Indeed. Gandhi was a racist of the highest order. But the white media of the time had not yet formulated the meaning of racism. So Gandhi continued unchallenged.

T, if you had one good thing to say about Gandhi, what would it be?
