Reflection on Mrs Jagan’s passing

Dear Editor,

Her story is one of a nurse from Chicago who, through marriage to a Guyanese from a sugar estate came to Guyana and rose in the minds of her supporters to the status of a Hindu Deity (Sita, Ram’s spouse) and in the eyes of her opponents  that of a satanic terror. Perhaps neither was deserved.

There is time for those who wish to comment on her activity. It is a moment for extending sympathy to her offspring, all born in Guyana and to wish them comfort and peace as well as to wish that in some way they can, if so inclined, help in the healing of Guyana.

Yours faithfully,
Eusi Kwayana
