Today, it is called humanitarian. I doan think Indo domination was on their mind. Besides, back then, the buccra ran everything, who would believe back then they would relinquish control of the colony. The Indians were in servitude, the blacks were the teachers, nurses, and many other uppity jobs, the coloreds were the adminstrators of the colony and the Amerindians were in the bush.
Well it was and at the time the black/colored as well as the Indian elites were jockeying to end white domination of Guyana. Rather than working with the black/coloreds the Indian elites wanted to turn British Guiana into an Indian colony.
Indenture was also ended around that time because it was NOT a humanitarian system.
Jagan was more interested in unity with the Africans than the Portugese. He was bitterly opposed to pro-Indian leaders during his time.
