Mr. Prash - funny you think that Ramkarran thought he was privileged because he lived next door to Cheddi. Guess what, that land where Cheddi built his house was GIVEN to the Jagans by one named Boysie Ramkarran whose foreparents had bought that land from Bookers. It was one plot of land, and Boysie gave Cheddi that lot when Forbes kicked him out in 1964.
Get your facts straight before you continue to spill more rubbish on things you don't know. And then you try to say that "Prashad cannot be easily fooled."
Dr. Cheddi paid Boysie Ramkarran for his land at cost. It was not given for free.
Like you and many others, I always thought the land was sold. But now, I have documentation that is was GIVEN, not SOLD.
KAIETEUR NEWS, March 17, 2015: "Ramkarran wrote that in the 1960s, Plantation Bel Air, as it was then known, was a poor community of mainly small artisans, farm and city labourers and subsistence cattle and vegetable farmers. Ramkarran said that Jagan’s land, next door to where he was born, grew up and still live, was acquired for $2,000 in the early 1960s."
