My mother side took to the fields in the 50s and they are wealthy.  My father side remained cancutters and some move to civil service and remained poor/average.

And yet most Indians aren't wealthy business people, and will never be.

 

Your point.

 

Now discuss why Chinese and Portuguese did much better than their fellow indentures, the Indians.  After all they arrived in Guyana under the same circumstances, and had similar backgrounds as peasant farmers in China and Madeira.

Much smaller population but in fairness, they do strive to succeed academically and business wise.  BTW, there were poor Chinese/Portugese buried in the background of Chinese/Protugese run businesses.
