Breadfruit is extremely delicious boiled and fried. I don't see why someone needed curried breadfruit when boiled & fried + fish curry is great. BTW I had the latter at the Hyatt Regency in TT last Nov. They say that's probably a 5 star hotel. CaribJ will know whether it's indeed 5 star.

It is said that Ravi is in charge of running Guyana Times. I have seen a very troubling and divisive trend in the focus of the Times in the past two years. Essentially the Times is promoting the the "don't split the votes" strategy by emphasizing that Indians are victims and blacks are bad. The regular brigade of letter writers are busy with the usual rape of Indian women in GNS, Burnham took away their white flour roti and aloo, and many other crass strategies. About a week ago one of the usual suspects - apparently a newly minted PhD - lamented how Burnham took away his aloo and roti. A respectable editor would have noted that Blacks ate as much white flour as Indians, possibly more. A respectable editor - worth his salt on the ERC - would have noted that Forbes was trying import substitution industrialization, if worked would have led to the formation of businesses that would have improved the entry country. If we are going to argue let's do so over the scientific and historic merit of the policy. A serious editor would have noted that women are sexually harassed across the ethnic divide and even in the US military. Or produce some data showing that Indian women were systematically raped in GNS.  In light of his appointment to the ERC, I believe he needs to clarify whether he is indeed behind the editorial contents of Guyana Times. We never get an acknowledgement that there were two PNCs. One from 1964 to 1985 and the other from 1985 to 1992.

I agree that the thesis of the ethnic security dilemmas is a valid tool for predicting how voters vote in Guyana. I have tried to clarify the thesis by showing it has economic roots. Only then it makes sense. I don't accept the notion Indians fear Africans because of the army when the same army has been most subservient to the PPP. It was Hoyte who made an explicit break with party paramountcy and he instructed the army they are to be removed from politics. It was PNC part 2 under Hoyte that jailed and hanged the hooligans from House of Israel, only to be subsequently freed by PPP. Hoyte also stopped the state funding of PNC groups. Which of the politicians today would do something like that to undermine his own political position, thinking he was doing the best for the nation? There is much more. 

Ramotar doesn't see Guyana Times racism, but he has set up this PPP-packed Ethnic Relations Commission to call out APNU-AFC racism.

Don't worry.  The first order of parliament will be to disband this fiasco.

If the PPP regains parliament then Guyanese will prove to be incompetent and foolish, and not only should their relatives cease to respond to their sad stories, but the rest of CARICOM should deport all suspected PPP supporters from their lands.

The Indian population is down to 40% and as such there should be 4 out of 10.
