I am not Winston Mits. You know that. Now let get back on topic.What are your views on BS Rai. I'd love to hear it.
I heard about Rai from my father, but did not fully appreciate his contributions until Bayto's book: Against the Grain. If only he had been in the place of Cheddi Jagan by independence, I would say Guyana could have been today at the level of development of Barbados or Mauritius.
Wasn't he an Indian Advocate (maybe supremacist)...so how would he have done better than Cheddi? Just asking...I am not very familiar with his political stance; I am just going from hearsay.
I was alluding to his politics. He was rabidly anti-communist. He would have found a better way to work with Forbes Burnham because those guys, including the BGEIA, were pragmatic. There would have been less need for foreign destabilizations of Guyana.
Okay, got you.
Thanks for clarifying this, TK.
