when did Guyana dis-"allow" the teaching of Hindi in schools?

I don't believe it's offered as a part of the curriculum

bro, are you Mr Bhagwan too?

In Guyana and Trinidad, the new chutney songs that emerge are just like the old ones – except for the lyrics – same (very lively) beat (to gyrate), no variety, same vulgarity and same ugliness.

Hindi was offered when i attended IETC in 78-82

different issue

LMAO LMAO

No but great minds do think alike

Hindi is of no use to t h general population. Spanish, Portuguese, French are all superior options. We learnt hindi at he mandir at night 3 times a week. That can still happen.

Now we learn that you were brought up a hindu?

BGurd, in GNI's early years D2 was a nick shared by a group of PPP supporters. Is Danyael a shared nick also? 

Nobady care fuh Hindi.

I never said I was brought up a hindu. I was raised in a Hindu and Christian household. I know the rituals of both. I however was never of the hindu religion. I can say I was a christian because I attended episcopalian services most of my childhood. That the Pandit taught hindi at night and many in the village attended is a different story.

What if it is?

do we have that many teachers who can actually teach it. One of the regrets I have when I left Guyana was that I never took an interest in learning Urdu from my Grandparents. Also the shoemaking trade from my Uncle. I was too busy playing and hustling the girls.

What is the reason for taxpayers to pay for Hindi lessons.  Every significant Indian businessman and gov't officials speaks English, and Hindi isn't the native language of all of them either.

Portuguese is essential given that Guyana will be a de facto province of Brazil within the next 10 years.

The children in Guyana schools can hardly cope with English. Why put hem through more stress? This will only give the teachers an excuse to continue to brutalise the kids.

What a tangled web we weave when we set out to deceive. I don't see how you could claim that you were not brought up a Hindu when you clearly stated : 

We learnt hindi at he mandir at night 3 times a week

Why is the location is immediately to be assumed to be a conduit for religious indoctrination? Churches were locations for many community events inclusive of teaching language. No one has to lie about simple things as you do.

First lesson in hindi, app on jatt

Do they actually teach Hindi in South Africa?

Why to teach a language that Indians themselves do not want to speak? All Indians want to be English and take pride on that.

True.  Increasingly when Guyanese speak what they think is standard English, subtitles are being used.  An American visited Guyana and was amused by the fact that Guyanese think that they speak English. 

But when the last two presidents cannot say the word "THINGS", why the shock.  One day they are going to arrive some where talking about "TINGS", and some one will offer them that Jamaican grapefruit flavored soda.

They would be amused to find out that Australians also think they speak english...but Australians are white so that's OK, that OZ dialect must be English.

Given that the Aussie dialect is derived DIRECTLY from British speech patterns it is English.  Guyanese cant make that claim.

Jagdeo and Ramotar make valiant attempts to speak what sometimes passes as standard internationally accepted English, but don't always succeed.  If they spent more time listening to the opposition parties, at the very least their standard of English will improve, if nothing else.

ha ha ha..
