When Indira Gandhi was invited by Forbes Burnham she came to Guyana but never made the time to sit with the victimized 'Coolies' because she did not want to jeopardize Burnham's support of her Father's dream for the Non Alignment by being involved with the suffering of the 'Coolies' at the hands of Burnham.

A flag which represents the struggle , sacrifices and successes of a people ' bred to sacrifice and achieve ' ...one which all Indians from Fiji , Mauritius , Trinidad, Suriname , Guyana etc can share and identify with Asgar , I beg you to please remove the flag of India since they continue to ignore our sufferings and struggles .
