Reply to "How about a National Hero for East Indians ? Please keep this thread clean."

How about Banwaree? An indentured man of 1838, maimed by jiggers. He lost a leg and was refused to honor his servitude contract. He bear his chafee in GT fetching uppity Black folks baskets from Big Market. Never serious about giving him a frek, they chased him after reaching, houts dog on him and have lil chidren called him dutty skin cooolie.

This chap is an East Indian national Hero. He signifies that no matter what are the trials of East Indians, they will find a way to life. Burnham years was really a trial for Indians. And like Banwaree, they bear their chafee and survived.

Banwaree would look great along side Cuffy. One almost naked and the other clothed in torn rags.
