The abolition of slavery was the catalyst for the arrival of the first Indian indentured labourers into the sugar colonies of Mauritius (1834), Guyana (1838) and Trinidad (1845), followed some years later by South Africa (1860) and Fiji (1879).

The system of indenture was abolished in the British Empire between 1917 and 1920 but had moved roughly two million Indians around the pink parts of the globe, most of whom never returned to India, through both design and coercion.

Today, an Indian indentured-labour diaspora makes up the populations of many Commonwealth countries, including in Africa, Belize, Suriname, Guyana, the Caribbean and the Pacific and Indian oceans.

The brazenly titled Coolie Woman: The Odyssey of Indenture burst onto the unsuspecting world in 2013, with its Guyanese author Guaitra Bahadur telling, through the history of her own great grandmother, the generally unknown personal stories of the women who came husbandless and vulnerable and used all their wit and female assets to survive.

Yes she did.  Recall she was in Guyana covering the elections in 2015 and published an article on it.   When dem PNC people heard about the article dem say she lie.  

They think this Yale graduate would put her reputation on the line for dirty politics in Guyana.  Read her book about the voyage across the Kala pani but keep a box of tissues close by for your tears.

If she was screaming "black man a kill ahbe" in 2015 then she was lying.  The last election violence was in 2001, despite the constant screams from you and the rest of your PPP frauds.

Indians are now a minority group so if you don't know how to play with others Guyana isn't the place for you.

You lying black dog.  She visited the pastor’s house and church and vehicles in Sophia which were burnt by the PNC on election night.  PPP ballot boxes were stored there as the location served as the local election headquarters.

The PPP using their black thugs were playing mischief all day using that same house.  This was part of the PPP rigging apparatus and you are fully aware of this.  The PPP got scared when they saw the huge GT turn out.

This was a known PPP operative so what were ballot boxes doing there? Those who go to crab dance will get muddy.  You played a scampish game and then cry when you were caught.

What? Husbandless? 

How did Douglarization started? Or, why some diluted their genes?

It is called history dummy..never "news" or "old". It is the connective tissue to people hood without which there is no means to locate the culture to places ideas and events.  Comment on its authenticity, immemorial relevance to the culture etc etc...the things smart people do with references to historical narration.

What is that, Guyanese brand of hipster racism? There are also no "ppp ballot boxes".  If the PNC burned vehicles etc then indeed Caribj lied. That is all you need to focus on.

If it was a designated polling place then the ballot boxes ought to be there. If there were burning of cars etc then she is right to say there was mob violence.

Ok then. Apologies for my language. But Carib did lie. That incident took place.  Gaiutra’s article on the 2015 election is published on the Pulitzer Center website.

Do you edumacted folks, understands what you are writing ?  Who owns the ballots boxes ?? are they not owned by GECOM ?

Well if it's "PPP ballot boxes" seems the party had some intention for rigging the 2015 Elections.

I think she meant that the GECOM ballot boxes had a higher probability of containing mostly votes for the PPP.

The edumacted Madam Bibi Haniffa, please re-visit the story of the incident in the 2015 elections at Sophia.

You are sinking the PPP, making unfounded statements.

"You lying black dog" is not bad "language" warranting a simple throwaway apology

it is the calling card of a settled, well-nourished racism bubbling to the surface

beneath the 'lady' facade, you are a vile, dark, bigoted soul

If you know anything about me you would know that I don’t have one racist bone.  And given Carib’s racist rants on this board what I said to him is an understatement.

you call a Black someone "a lying black dog" and then claim that the object of your slur 'made you do it'

par for a course where too many GNI Indo folks believe that PNC crimes or "racist rants" of others give them permission and the right to endorse and propagate Hate Speech targeting people of African descent

worse, you then double down with the clear-eyed, 'tuff gal' sneer that your slur on Black people (you are smart enough to know that's what it is) is actually an "understatement"

so, what do you have in mind as appropriate 'lady' . . . "n!gger"??
