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.
