Attached is another,

Caribj should read this.

Caribj is not a reader of Indian history. His personal experience far outweighs whatever other may have to say.

looking for the history of Cotton Tree, WCB

You from that place?

Down the road is Rosignol. In 1948, Rosignol School only had up to Standard II. We had to continue on at Cotton Tree School for rest of the schooling. It was a good time during those years, we would run home from school for lunch and ran back. 

There were about ten of us, I was the only Indian. The group would wait by Johnny Shiek's Drug Store for each other before running back.

I seriously consider that run is responsible for the enjoyment of good health at this reasonable age. And I thank God that those chaps from Rosignol coaxed me into running home with them for lunch. 

A number of us lived at Fatman Logies.

I recall you were the one screaming that former slaves were given millions of pounds by the British gov't when they freed.  That must have been from one of the KKK books that you love to read.

In fact Indian indentures had redress in front of the courts and apparently made much use of this.  African slaves had no more rights in the courts than did horses or donkeys as they were seen as also being farm animals.

As bad as indentureship was it was considerably better than slavery.

The same white ppl who fought for the end of slavery, also gave in the establishments of churches, schools, education supplies, teachers, etc, etc, etc. Maybe not millions of pounds(doan recall seying so, however I know you have imaginings) but what was given cost lots of money. And that effort made the Blacks into the Business Class until the Putagees rab alyuh of dat. The health sector, the teaching profession, police force, civil service etc, etc, all from th noble efforts of the abolitionists.

Until the Indians leff the plantations and the blacks educated them under the British Rule. Then Blacks start loosing dem jobs.

Under slavery, blacks had no rights.

More power to you today.

LFSB wanted you to wear cotton Bucka made from Sanata textiles. Praise de man for his vision. 

Lost for words, the only one comes to mind, "skont."

I had expected some intelligent and/or constructive discussion in this thread. Django's purpose in making available the historical documents on Indian immigration to the Caribbean is to enlighten us and upgrade our knowledge of the indentured immigrants issue. Far from obtaining that objective, this thread has degenerated to the customary personal attacks, sterile racial tit-for-tat, and other unwholesome digressions. Sad. Pathetic. Tragic even.

Suite yourself.
