cain posted:Rajkumari was very passionate about the place of the arts in the creation of post-independence Guyana society. She clearly understood that one of the challenges facing the new nation was the mutual ignorance of our collective histories. She held the view that the arts provided a vehicle to find the similarities and the opportunities to explore new possibilities. So, it was not surprising when she joined the Guyana National Service at its start in 1972.
She was severely criticized for doing this. For some members of the Indo-Guyanese community, this was a betrayal of her race. Some argued that joining the GNS led to "the stagnation of her creativity." I wish to suggest that such positions were harsh.
So this shyte that I see on this site by ignorant backward racist fkers has been ongoing for many years. This woman was a decent person unlike those here, Sad, very sad!
Bullcrap. NS was an arm of the pnc. What good did it serve in the end? Nothing but a communist tool. Did you join NS?
