Dear Editor,
Please permit a space in your paper to respond to an article “An-Afro- Guyanese male puts a Question to Hindus”, in the Kaieteur News on 11/20/15 by David Elias. Space will not permit me to cover all your questions but if this paper permits me, I could answer all in parts later.
The problems is that Hindus do not have anyone to voice their opinion for them as a representative but the Afro-Guyanese have the distinguished professors in African Studies, Dr. David Hinds and Dr. Eric Phillips to say all derogatory things about Hindus and no one can respond or they will be deemed “Racist”. Only Afro- Guyanese are not racist.
Mr. David Alias wrote that Khemraj Ramjattan said “ I am a proud Hindu, proud of my culture.” Well, I think Ramjattan, Moses Nagamootoo and Ramaya do not understand Hindusim and the cultural aspect of Hinduism. Hinduism is a religion and could be a faith for some. The Hindu scripture clearly states that “you can change your faith but not your religion”. For your learning, atheism is also a faith. You do not have to be Hindu to be a leader of a country. Sonia Gandhi was an Italian and leader of the largest populated country in the world
In Hinduism, politics is embedded in its culture as it is stated in the caste system. The Kashtriya is to fight for and manage the affairs of the community and country. I am sorry you never heard of Diwali Whinem Mr. Elias. There is no such thing as whine, if you are talking about dancing, it is originated in India, even Voodoo type of dancing. Dancing is part of our cultural activities. People all over the world went to India and learn some part of the Indian style. Micheal Jackson ( USA) learned the hand and foot movements in India. He took it all over the world. The Beatles were living in India. They learned Indian music and made some CDs in Indian music especially the “sitar”.
With regards to the Diwali controversal settlement, I had written an article to one of the Guyana news paper which was not published “Diwali in 2015 should not be compromised.” Probably the editor did not see it fit but I know for a fact my letter had a lot of meaning and learning. Mr. Ramjattan along with Nagamootoo and Ramaya should never have change the special date of Diwali . It showed the high grade of hypocrisy they displayed. Diwali date should not be compromised. They did it because of their ancestors in Tamil Naidu congratulated Nagamootoo for being the first Madrass Prime Minister in the world. Tamil Naidu celebrates Diwali, November 10 , worshiping Mata Kali doing Kali-Mai Puja.
The Hindu “Patra” cosmic analogy is very scientific and is proven to be always right, providing you can use it.The future for Diwali celebration has already been calculated. The Vedic Astronomical System calculate the date for ‘future’ Diwali celebration for 2016 Sunday October 30 for 2017 Thursday 19 for 2018 Wednesday November 7 for 2019 and so on. It is astronomically calculated you can get it up to 2100 or even further. Finally, Ramjattan, Nagamootoo and Ramaya promised the people in Berbice the world if they voted for them. The Cummingsburg Accord with the PNC has been totally ignored by the PNC.
