Dear Editor,
I read in June 15 edition of Guyana Times a letter titled, “Commentaries on Independence struggle racially aligned” by Vishnu Bisram.
Readers have grown accustom to Bisram’s bias and his understanding of our social and political experiences.
However, the latest adventure on the delay of Independence is shocking and simply upside down.
He claims Burnham was anti-Jagan, anti-Indian, anti-socialist and anti-PPP which resulted in the delay of Independence. Completely rubbish, untrue and near comical, written by someone who perhaps has no knowledge of the 50s and 60s in Guyana.
Violence, racism – who introduced violence along the East Coast?
Certainly not Burnham.
If Bisram is interested in our Independent Struggle, I recommend he collects a copy of “The Rocky but Righteous Road to Guyana Independence.” A free copy is available to him at my gate at Plot D Lodge Housing Scheme for him to read.
This will allow him a better understanding of the Independence Struggle and the main actors and circumstances.
Sincerely,
Hamilton Green,
OR, JP
