question for you have you read any info about the Indian Colonization Scheme of British Guiana proposed by Luckhoo and Nunan.
MH in his article alludes to this. So we had British Guiana, then under the control of the sugar barons and the British colonial authorities, who squeezed out the emerging black and colored middle class from any involvement in the governance of the colony. And while all this is happening an immigrant arrives and announces plans to colonize the country.
So I guess the idea was that the blacks and coloreds would have had two masters, one of them being a newly arrived immigrant group who had no committed to the country at the time. Indentures had the right of return and quite a few in fact did exercise that right.
The Luckhoos been in Britiland sh Guiana for very long time and they excelled under the British Empire which was the umbrella for all colonial ppl. Blacks and Coloreds monarchists were far more in numbers in BG than East Indian ones . They had no quarrels with British Rule in BG. Unlike the East Indians who rebelled for decades for harsh labour treatment. And not to mention, the British were to be booted out of India. Unforgiven according to Churchill.
India exports people, the continent is widely known for that fact. Strange though, Indians were forbidden to travel outside of the Bramaputra and Ganges yet the castes lower than the Brahmins boarded the ships. And those ships took them where they were needed. The world was British at the time and the sun never sets on Britania. No native on the planet had owning rights-being white is right.
Every native lands were white owned and they recruited their own kind to populate. Anybody else were servants.
The Amerindians lost their native rights, owner of their lands in Guiana.
Suh, where does the Blacks and Coloreds gat the notion they owned the Amerindain lands-thieves or bullies.
Luckhoo just gat the idea to bring more Indians out of India to ease the famine victims. Today, we call dem refugees.
Sick minds think it was a racists move. I doubt whether Luckhoo and Nunan thought about Independence. If wasn't for Forbes an Cheddie I doan tink the British would have parted wid BG.
Under the British Empire, it subjects are not Aliens in their colonies, they were free to stay or move on to another British Colony.
Blacks need to know their place with respect to their citizenship under the British Empire. His right are no different than an Amerindian or any race of ppl who found themselves in British Guiana.
The idea that Blacks owned Guyana is absurd. Why would Eric Philips want a share of land now.
