I was there; part of the action every day in body and spirit. I could care less what you "ghost writers" claim you know.

Yes, most of the people who showed up during the protests were Africans. However, Rodney did get major support from "stay at home" Indians including my die-hard PPPite parents because he was the only hope to oust Burnham during the dictatorship.

Rodney support was so strong that Dr. Jagan at Kitty Market square assured his (Jagan) supporters that if free and fair elections were held the PPP would win. This I heard with my own ears. It shocked me to hear Dr. Jagan say this at a prime time during the struggle, but I guess he was just another politician.
