Home Letters We welcome India’s External Affairs Minister
Dear Editor,
It is with joy unspeakable that our family welcomes the Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar to this our great land of Guyana.
Guyana contains the bones of our Indian ancestors who were lured out of India by the tort of deceit, aka indenture, rendered by the British imperialist masters in the sugar belt in an environment of degradation, disease and despair.
Out of that suffering and Faith in Christ, Krishna and Allah have emerged a generation of Indian intelligentsia that makes them worthy of governing their dear land Guyana, once plundered by the British.
Honourable Minister, we have noted your performance on the world stage in the various international fora, where, with your patriotic zeal and commitment; with your learning and experience; you demonstrate the independence of your great country India, for she shall not be a minion or mendicant to any power, but you are creating a policy among nations for equity, justice, and fair distribution of the services and economic wealth of the world.
Your robust articulation for social justice and equitable distribution of economic right makes India a beacon for the former colonies of the British Empire.
May you have a pleasant stay in this land of Guyana, of known hospitality, and share with our local dignitaries and the nation as a whole the joy, splendour and glory of your honourable presence.
Do enjoy your short stay.
Jai Hind.
J.T. Kissoon
