I just received a call from an old comrade advising me that Pandit had passed on. He was ailing for some time. I will always remember Pandit Ramlall as one of my earlier political teachers. I kept in touch with him throughout th years and only two months ago I got him to autograph a copy of his book. He was a genuine champion for the ordinary man. 

RIP Pandit Ramlall.  My condolences to the Pandit's family.

My condolences to Pandit Ramlall's family.

Sorry to hear. He was probably 90.

My condolences to Pt. Ramlall's family.

I dont know the gentleman, but I have seen the parade. If he started the parade, thats a big accomplishment.

My condolences to his family.

I remember Pandit Ramlall. He was the Pandit at the Arya Samaj Mandir my parents were members of. He visited our house a couple of times. I remember him as a tallish man wearing glasses. He was also a vocal PPP member.

My condolences to his family. He was a good man. May his soul Rest In Peace.

Pandit Ramlall was an educator at Tagoor High School. He taught Soomdat Mahabir who holds a Ph.D. in NY. During my community service, I was honored to serve alongside some of the finest Guyanese known to me. Pandit Ramlall stood on stage with Hajji Zakir and pray together on Pagwah and Diwali occasions. The two of them look like Amar and Akbar from the movie (lol). My condolence to pandit Ralmall's family on his passing. RIP.  

Cribby should have joined those two brothers and complete the theme ‘Amar, Akbar, Anthony’.

It's Tagore High School.

His sister's son Jai Manbahal in Toronto is married to my sis-in-law. In the 80s I went with my parents to some services he officiated. During the services he always mentioned that when he visited India he met Amitabh.

I would like Sir Gilbakka and Churchill to clear this up.  Was Pandit Ramlall the Pandit Ramlall who was put the Mazaruni Prison by the British for incitement activities during the Independence struggle?

Sibley Hall mentioned in link.

My condolences to the family of the Pt Ramlall.

Chief, did he once live besides Radio City Cinema ?

I recently had a discussion with a former PPP activist he said that the Mazaruni Prison conditions were worst than Devil's Island prison. The British placed poisonous snakes in certain locations on the outside of the prison to ensure that any escaping prisoners would be bitten.

He was the Founder and  main organiser of the parade in 1990 in Richmond Hill. The first parade was about 300 persons and every year since then the numbers grew . Originally Pandit wanted  to unite the main Hindu sections of the community especifically the Ayra Samaj and Sanatan followings with other Caribbean Hindus . Unfortunately as the years went by some elements , not in harmony with the original aim tried to hijack the parade from Pandit Ramlall. The matter ended up in court and Ramlall won the case.

Yes. He was detained at Sibley Hall.

 

He was in with others including, CVNunes, Moses Bhagwan , Maccie Hamid,

Brindley Benn , Harrylall , Vincent Teekah , Prakash Persaud , Balchand Persaud , Desmond Sheppard and a couple of others who I cant remember off hand.

CVNunes was a diabetic and was denied his medication thus resulting in a serious problems with his sight. Pandit Ramlall  a vegetarian wasn't able to get his vegetarian food, and visitors were not allowed.

Most of the detainees were in for close to three years ...

The Limey PIGS will pay for their SINS!!!!

Another of the detainees was Nasrudeen keown as PM also from Skeldon.

I was at the wake on the last night and what was disappointing I did not see any representation es from the PPP.
