In Guyana, post colonial leadership among Indians is very poor. CBJ thought doing things Indian was anti-guyanese. So he took us down a destructive path by dismantling Indian Leadership. Check see how many Indians he ridiculed. I put him in the same category as Forbes-asbsloute demented individuals.  

This is bunk. There is no moral equivalence  with Burnham and Jagan. Was it not Burnham that made you flee Guyana? The Indian leadership in the latter part of the 1940's and early 1950's focused mainly on their own economic interest, paid lip service to the interest of East Indians.   Why blame Jagan when the Indian leadership was weak? It was until the PAC and the PPP came along that the interests of the working people of Guyana were coherently and massively represented in the political structure. So, the Indians benefitted from this and your so called Indian leadership were made irrelevant and other Indian leaders attuned to the needs and interests of East Indians emerged. People like RAi were  going no where until they linked up to the PPP Under jagan and went no where when they left the PPP other than being quislings for Zburnham and some for the USA.
