Dear Editor,
Mr. Mahadeo Panchu was filled with emotionalism on reading my letter, perhaps because he is a Hindu, and so missed the point I was making about pandit and bandit. For his information the letter never denounced the true pandits as bandits.
The letter highlighted the tricksters and fraudsters whom the police were hunting as bandits professing to be pandits. The letter also denounced those pandits as bandits who claim to be able to cure jaundice for a fee. We have these fraudsters in all religions because, as I said, many Guyanese both literate and illiterate are steeped in superstitious ignorance.
We no longer live in the dark ages but the enlightened 21st century, the electronic age, and it is high time for Guyanese to come off some of their “old time beliefs” such as obeah and jumbie and move with the times….the civilised age. Why is it that we never hear of a chinee jumbie?
Mr. Panchu must not over speculate in his writing because I am not a doctor, I am not a muslim and I have no concern about Afghanistan.
Stick to the facts Panchu and have a nice day. No offence was meant to the true and sincere pandits practising their beliefs.
