Bro, I am sorry to say u r confused on the word complex. To me a complex person could be genius who has peculiar habits. What u said about the lady, sounds more to me like she was possessed by some kind of spirit. She had a contempteous stare. One could tell what was going on in her mind.  

Seignet you forgot the silent treatment that sometimes came with the stare.  If you get both then run as fast as you can. If she had a awesome personality like some of the other Jagan women like Barbara or Pat then she would have been wonderful person.

To call Mrs Jagan Mother of the Nation, however, is to demean the meanings of motherhood and nationhood, if not the lady herself.

The Guyanese nation has many mothers, the mother of every citizen who makes up the nation. They must dutifully be remembered just as we rightly remember Mrs Jagan.

 

 

Janet Jagan was a monster who did as much damage to Guyana as Forbes Burnham did.   No wonder they were lovers.  Evidently when he dumped her she developed a huge rage towards Afro Guyanese.

 

Who introduced the party card to appoint incompetent people to positions? Janet Jagan!

Most of the Jagan personal friends were professional Afro Guyanese that were working professionals at the time they were.  Families such as the Dummetts Denbows and the Austins were their personal friends.  This was different from their Political Comrades in the party such as Ramkaran and others.

Let me add to Wally's list. The Guyanese novelist Oscar Dathorne and the Trini economist Lloyd Best were among Cheddi Jagan's closest personal friends who enjoyed the privilege of being the Jagans' sleeping guests at their Bel Air home.

I know of no Indo-Guyanese PPP member who was invited to sleep at the Jagans' home. It's well known that Cheddi and Janet used to sleep in Indians' homes in Essequibo and Berbice but never reciprocated. One notable exception is Dr David Dabydeen.

Such was their moral authority, that unsolicited apologies were proffered by the Americans (through Arthur Schlesinger), and by the British by way of the press, for destabilizing Dr Cheddi Jagan's democratically-elected governments. There could be no greater vindication than one's opponents freely admitting, by way of an apology, that they were forced to compromise themselves morally.
