Vish, BS Rai should receive some type of honor for his contribution to Guyana but I cannot see the PNC being part of the present government honoring him. There are still several people in that party who feel deep hurt by some of his actions in the past. Similarly there are some powerfull folks in the PPP party who also feel deep hurt because they perceive him as being a CIA informer who stool pigeoned on his brothers and sisters. He should be given his pension and he should receive some type of award but I just don't know from whom.
He was respected among those who sought independence without confrontations with the British-the British Guyanese favorable to the colonials, Indo and Afro alike. A small circle of people.
Just like Forbes, he also suffered from the smear campaign. He wanted to balance the Police Force. It became the rumor that he was anti-black. Especially since he raised hell about the rigging of Benn's election.
