So the Indians will offer support and finance to the Granger Led administration.

HE David Granger received us WARMLY - Indian High Commissioner.

It was an excellent meeting.

??? Why would India NOT recognize and seek to work with the elected GoG?

They plan to invest in a big way in the sugar industry.

$$$ to be made for the Indian Government.

BIG LOAN coming.

BIG word - ELECTED.

You help Ramotar and Jagdeo understand am!

Yes Brian, why would the Indian government not want to work with the Granger government? Are people seeing a conspiracy here?

India can help with creating an ethnic balance in the Army and Police Forces.

And Mitty, may I ask why cant people like yourself call on Granger and Ramjattan do this????

Why??

AFC has to push that through since PPP refused to even try and India is not interested.

They would not.  The US will not want India's meddling in the military of Guyana, this is their domain.

How?  Sending people from India to join because Indo Guyanese refuse to?

Do you suggest a mandatory draft, applicable to Indians only?  If they don't want to join you cannot force them.

Good, ask him to elaborate his "plan" to attract Indians.

These mudheads making your life easy today bai.  Wazz the deal with you and them?

Mandatory service in the joint service would be a good thing for all 18 - 20 year old males.

If them MUMMA nah want them to serve, then take them to live in Trinidad.

Then you will here the wails that the military African dictatorship is forcing Indians to join the army and live harsh lives in the bush.  GNS again.

That doesn't solve the problem as people forced to do what they don't want to do aren't effective.  The Indos will leave as soon as they can, while the Afros will stay, so the upper ranks will remain ethnically imbalanced.

Some folks want a balanced army/police but they don't want to be honest as to why this isn't the case. 

Why this isn't the case?

India always did. They gave Guyana a lot of Tata buses. 

  Indians don't want to join.  Maybe they don't like taking orders from black people.

Its quite simple.  If mainly blacks join then the armed forces will be mainly black.  Folks will have to accept that fact.

indians can take orders from black people its you the indians do not like 

I am not in the army.  They don't join. Since you so bright tell us why?

You're a jackass. In almost every Guyanese Indian family in NY and the rest of the Diaspora, it is considered a great honor for your son or nephew or other relative to serve in the military. I don't know any Guyanese Indian family without a servicemember in the U.S. military. My uncle at the Pentagon is a GOD in my mom's family. All the rich family members bow to him.

And FYI, most Drill Sergeants and NCOs are Black. I had no problems with mine. You know why chap? Because they were tough but they were tough so that I could succeed and meet the standard not because they wanted me to drop out. My Drills "punished" me especially over other Soldiers not because they hated Indians but because they thought I had potential. And guess what? In 18 months after enlistment, a Pentagon Board selected 400 new officers to gazette from the ranks and I was on that list. So syar yuh rass dah side chap.

There is inherent anti-Indian bias in the GDF and GPF designed to make Indians drop out.

I wanna quote the great Afrocentric scholar Dr. Ivan Van Sertima "if it's not a such a big deal then why do you care so much?"

So Caribj, if the GDF isn't so important then why do you care so much to spend so much time and internet ink behind defending the status quo?

We're not all as schupid as you seem to think chap.

the government have to open training school in different part of guyana,maybe a special training school for indians for a start like a introductory courses 

at present my son is trying to get into the police force,the guyana police force never encourage indians to sign up i know this for a fact i hope this change 

Yes a WHITE controlled army.  Not one run by Guyanese black people.

Your nonsense about the anti Indianism of the GDF and the GPF is just that.  NONSENSE.  Almost 23 years of PPP rule and you are trying to peddle that myth.  Well if so, how come the PPP didn't change it.  Virtually NONE of the officers who were in the GDF or the GPF in 1992 remain today, and yet those forces remain as African as ever.

Come with another excuse.  That one is NOT working.

You seem to be quite invested in the status quo. Why is that pray tell? Why is an all Black Army and an all Black Police Force so important to Caribj?

who you think is the recruiting officer and the training personals they are all blacks and every police officer is relate some way or the other  

Another one fooling himself.

Tell me Shaitaan where is all this evidence that between 1992 and 2015 thousands of Indians wanted to join the GDF and the GPF?

You seem to believe in magic in that you think that Indians can simultaneously refuse to join, and yet be well represented.  Do you plan to enlist robots who have the physical appearance of being Indian? Because that is the only way that the forces can be balanced without Indians joining.

shut up fool i know lots of indians that was refuse in the police force 

yes I know and the notion of an Indian taking orders from these people is as bad as having their sister get married to one of these people.

FYI in the NYPD many uncles, sons and fathers serve.. What is new.  But yet Asians are now joining, despite all the myths that they are too soft to command respect from criminals.

Your excuse is WEAK!  Surely in the almost 23 years of PPP rule if these forces were so anti Indian, and Indians were so eager to join, ample evidence of this would have been presented, and a solution worked out.

Laying aside all the reasons, valid or otherwise......Is it your position that a Black GDF and a Black GPF is what is needed in a multiethnic and multiracial State like Guyana?

there is a law in NY that certain amount of minority must be accepted in the force also in canada there is no law in guyana or no body to over view these laws the force do as they please example the commissioner  was transfer personal and the president had to stop him until the minister give his views 

I would love for every ethnicity to be equally represented in all facets of life in Guyana.  However history, culture, values, social connections, and otherwise prevent this.

Do you see me screaming that blacks must become rice farmers?  No.  That is not an occupation that most have an interest in engaging in.

Ditto for Indians and the armed forces.  The excuses of the Burnham era don't apply.  The PPP was in power for 23 years and there has been no change.  When Cheddi went in, he tried his best to get young Indians interested.  Yet every batch of new recruits was disproportionately black.

So should we have no GDF and no GPF because Indos refuse to join?

They didn't join in the 50s, 70s, 90s, and they didn't join in 2014 either.

Except that, as the largest ethnic group, and the wealthiest one at that, Indians aren't a minority group in Guyana.

Try again!  Only Amerindians can play that minority card in Guyana.  My understanding is that Amerindians are NOT under represented in the armed forces in Guyana.

You're either stupid or dishonest. Which is it?

Since when is rice farming the same as the military servants of the State?

This is about building an inclusive State. No multiethnic State can be at peace without multiethnic State institutions. This is multiethnic states 101. Something you so disingenuously carp about here daily.

So you Caribj is moh smart than all the experience mankind has had in stabilizing multiethnic states something the UN does every day. They ALWAYS start with the Army and the Police being racially/ethnically balanced.

he is just a stupid racist blackman things will change in the police force under the APNU/AFC collation  

And yet you haven't told us why Indians refuse to join, or how the GDF can be multi ethnic if they refuse to.

Scream as you wish at "baad black man", but then offer Granger no advice as to how to get Indians to join.  Something that Cheddi, Janet, Jagdeo, and Ramotar ALL failed to do.

FYI the fact that blacks aren't major economic players through ownership of income producing property arises to the same security crisis as the fact that Indians aren't in the armed forces.

Yet is there any one demanding that blacks should be given assets, loans, etc. in a preferential basis?  Not any one I can think of.

But the Indo racist that you are cannot see this.

Indos do not want to join.  If you do not recruit those who want to join to replace those who leave then you will have no GDF and no GPF. Now what about this is to intellectually sophisticated for you to comprehend?
