Kowsilla – an ordinary woman who made an extraordinary sacrifice for her fellow humans

November 25, 2014

Above: Three women who were injured in the protest that day

EVENTS would prove that the pandit chose an appropriate name for her – Kowsilla, whose namesake was Lord Rama’s mother, revered for upholding what Hindus call Dharm – a principled way of life and supporting her husband’s quest for discharging his duty and honouring his given word; even though it meant the banishment to the jungle of her beloved son and his gently-bred wife, Sita for fourteen years.

Kowsilla – an ordinary woman who made an extraordinary sacrifice for her fellow human

Kowsilla, also known as Alice, was involved in the sugar workers’ struggle for better working and living conditions and she paid the ultimate price for upholding her convictions and her principles.
On March 6th 1964 during an industrial strike at Plantation Leonora she and several other women stood resolutely, shoulder to shoulder, on a bridge and faced-off a PNC scab driving a tractor inexorably toward them under the direction of the colonial managers.

She, along with fourteen other sugar workers were mown down by the scab, Felix Ross. Kowsilla’s body was cut in two, while several other women were severely injured, with some being crippled for life. As Rakesh Rampersaud describes it, this was an extraordinary act by ordinary women; who nevertheless were agents of change in the labour movement, because their supreme sacrifice catalysed the recognition of the bargaining agent for sugar workers – The Man Power Citizens’ Association (MPCA) which, although it subsequently proved a disappointment for the sugar workers, because it later degenerated into a supporter of the oppressive PNC regime, paved the way for the emergence of the GAWU; but not without years-long, unrelenting struggle, spearheaded by Dr. Cheddi Jagan and the PPP, with the WPO giving optimum support to the cause.
It was this struggle that precipitated the strike of 1964 and culminated in the murder of Kowsilla. However the sacrifice of these indomitable women did not go in vain, because GAWU gained recognition by the Booker Tate sugar plantations in 1973.
Kowsilla lost her life, succumbing on her way to the Georgetown Hospital, and two other women – Jagdai and Daisy Sookram suffered broken spines, remaining crippled for the rest of their lives; while several other workers received severe injuries to various parts of their bodies. Some never recovered from those injuries, suffering one kind of disability or another, which precipitated their demise. Although they did not die directly from their injuries, their quality of live and lifespans were severely diminished, which was indirectly attributable to Felix Ross’s

Alice Street in Seafield, Leonora, West Coast Demerarathat was named in honour of Kowsilla a.k.a. Alice

murderous act, for which he was acquitted.
Kowsilla was born in 1920 in Seafield, Leonora, West Coast Demerara. Her parents were very poor and, although little is known of her married life, reports indicated that she became a single mother of four children whom she worked as a huckster to provide for.
She was enamoured by charismatic leader fighting for social and political change, Dr. Cheddi Jagan and became an activist for improving the lives of women in then British Guyana. She joined the Women’s Progressive Organisation (WPO), formed in 1953 by Mrs. Janet Jagan the wife of Dr. Cheddi Jagan, and became leader of the Leonora branch and executive member of the organization.

Kowsilla was forty-four years old when she paid the supreme price for her convictions on that fateful Friday morning on March 6th 1964. Along with her fellow workers she stood immovable, unheeding of the scab’s shouts as he continued to drive the tractor directly at them: “You-all ain’t hear what the Boss-man say? Get off the blasted bridge.” Before he ruthlessly ran them down.
An eyewitness recalled Kowsilla telling the other women “Don’t budge.We can’t let the rich man thief we children-them future ” before she fell, along with the others, scythed down in the prime of their lives like so much chaff by a murderous tool of evil men.
Of the fourteen who were mown down by the tractor, receiving serious injuries, two of them, Jagdai and Daisee Sookram suffered broken backs and were crippled for life. Another, Kisson Dai, lost one kidney and had broken hips.

The unyielding stance of these ordinary workers heralded a sea change and a new dynamic in the labour movement, and the results of their sacrifices are today being enjoyed by all workers in the nation.
Yesterday, as the world observes International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women 2014, the sacrifices of our female forebears need to be commemorated; especially the ultimate sacrifice by Kowsilla fifty years ago.
Last Sunday the WPO held a remembrance day activity at the Leonora Secondary School to reflect on the 50th death anniversary of Kowsilla.

Some how I get the impression many closet dutty PNC Indians are slowly exposing themselves hoping to gain attention from Granger kabbal thinking they can fall in for piece of the OIL action. Some of them are willing to broadcast that they were PNC card members with out shame. Well I wouldn't be surprise if they even perm them hair to pass as AFRO.

Some people will stoop VERY LOW for some crumbs.

You are absolutely correct. But Granger has nothing to give them. The flip flopping soup drinkers will end up like Nagamootoo who is swept under the rug. Harmon is in NY right now. He didn't invite any of these soupies to his three events. Yesterday he had an event on Rockaway Blvd. not far from Prince business. He should have been there licking those GDf boots!!

Django, on the day [Sunday] of Kowsilla's funeral, I was travelling by train to return to GT for my school next day. From the train window I observed a mammoth crowd that stretched from Leonora Seafield down through Roxy Cinema street and on to Anna Catherina cemetery. Plenty people like split peas.

Then, in the 1970s, I joined Pariag Sukhai and others in visiting Kowsilla's grave to lay wreaths.

The young PPP members don't know, or don't respect, the roles ordinary people played in the PPP's political and trade union struggles. They joined the party after it had got back in power and the new leaders were marginalizing the older stalwarts and showing them total disrespect.

As I get older, I can now appreciate how old PPP stalwarts were treated and reflect how I will feel if I had dedicated my life to a party and then be thrown aside in the trash bin.

Young PPP members made critical mistakes and we are paying a price for it today.

I will remain a loyal PPP supporter until I die but I encourage the PPP to reform and rebuild relationships with the stalwarts who dedicated their lives to the party, sacrificing everything for the party and love of country.

We must learn from our mistakes and correct the wrongs committed. Many of these folks will soon leave the material world and it is still not too late to mend fences with them.

I remember standing in the cold in Ottawa at protests for free and fair elections in Guyana, I have pictures till this day and I wondered what happened to most of the folks who were fighting for the right cause and how they must have felt.

Some of them may have passed on. It is very sad.

When we talk about investigating murders, we should investigate all murders. Investigating PNC days murders will only cause another 1962 and 1964 types of riots. That's the reason the PNC got away with it. Now they selectively choose who to investigate. Bullyism and Kim Jung Um on the go.

Ok bhai let us close this issue, the opposition should request the gov't to hold coroner inquest on all "alleged" political murders starting from when PNC came to power,if there are no witnesses close that inquiry,why most may move to the beyond.If that will address the concerns of the people do it,too much mudslinging it's such a tough fight in a multiracial country where there is a thin line.

The above is a recap from a thread from 01/2016 on the discussion of Kowsilla death.

Some new comers suddenly awoken and trying to score cookie points as if they were really concerned about the sacrifice of the heroine Kowsilla.

In the 80's i met one Kowsilla son who was the son-in-law of an acquaintance and also a customer.The PPP haven't done nothing of importance for the off springs,they piggy back on her death for Political Purposes.

As I said before, this is not a pissing contest. Only a loser with no life would come to GNI to score cookie points. What you and others say here is completely meaningless to anyone. Kowsilla's son will be at the March 25th event in NY. You should come and hear the truth from him instead of making false accusations to the PPP leadership.

Django, contrary to the information that you are sharing, here is a pic from yesterday at Kowsilla's grave. With PPP Member of Parliament, Sheila Veerasammy. This is an annual event.
