Dear Editor,
It was Engels who said “A state is not abolished it withers away” and it was Rousseau who wrote “the more the social bond is stretched the slacker it becomes.”
All Guyanese know of the ethnic line, what has not been common in our knowledge of Guyana’s socio-political history is how we forge a social bond in which we promote ethnic harmony so that the state would not wither away. This is the challenge that we continue to be faced with in a multiethnic society, in a contemporary crisis where insecurities and political agencies reflect the division and politicians perpetuate the divide.
