It is Indians who subsume their identity

Dear Editor,

To correct Allan Fenty’s statements made in his SN column of March 17, 2017, under the sub-head ‘Rights, voices beyond the bound-yard’: it is the Indians who subsume their ethnic identity to the African Caribbean culture who exhibit triumphalism, snobbery and superiority at being both accepted and embraced by the dominant status quo; and it is the very poor rural Indian Guyanese who continue to practise their religion and culture, remembered from Mother India, who most need to be protected and defended.

Yours faithfully,

Ryhaan Shah
