Re: [IndianCaribbean] Cricket Stadium
 

Ladies and gentlemen,
I am against India funding the cost of the stadium; non-Indians do not appreciate what India has done for Guyana. Also, Indians are hardly beneficiaries of assistance from India to Guyana.  Remember the TATA buses paid for by India. 


Well, Indians were denied riding in those buses. I was a victim.  In fact, I and other Indians were  thrown off one of those buses -- my experience and encounter with Afro racism. Remember the Indian National Cultural Center -- our money was used to build it. Very few Indians can enter that building and when they do they need protection from thugs, rapists and robbers. The same is going to happen with the stadium.  The project must be stopped or alternatively it should be owned by an India-Guyana Friendship Society or some other private body.  If it is government owned, you can kiss it goodbye. When the PPP is out of government in two years, what will happen to the stadium?  All the Indian investment will go down the drain.  Think about it and conceive a plan to rescue this bad deal
Cheers

What bothers me is the location of the stadium. We had one jack ass (Burnham) who built a special place for cultural activities. That facility was located in an area where Indo Guyanese women would have no choice but to endure the rapes and assaults in order to better develop themselves. Now these idiots have an opportunity to build a stadium where the mass of Guyana can benefit but they have opted for east bank!!! Nothing against the people from there but I am certain that better locations along the east coast are available. Why not pull down the crap that we call Bourda and rebuild there?
