Guyana’s resource curse, Venezuelan land grab for oil & key India connection not limited to cricket

Venezuela has laid claim to Essequibo in neighbouring Guyana on the pretext of defeating an 1899 ‘land theft conspiracy’. In episode 1369 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta talks about the mad rush for Guyanese oil and India’s age-old ties with this country of 8 lakh people.

    Greetings to you all my ancestral homeland- India from Guyana. Mr Shekhar is on point with his facts on the subject matter. It should be noted that when Hugo Chavez was president he once visited Guyana and said this border controversy is an "imperialist invention" that there are more important issues to look at and so he never created an issue. Now his protégé is acting strangely. But as you would have already known there was a meeting held in St Vincent and the Grenadines last Thursday 14th December where both Maduro and our president held talks on easing the tension that Venezuela has indicated through that questionable referendum to invade Guyana to annex the Essequibo region. So, since that meeting the temperature between the two nations especially in Guyana has somewhat gone down a little. But we must remain vigilant. Now, since you've mentioned cricket I'll like to add for those who might be interested that Rohan Kanhai, Basil Butcher, Alvin Kalicharran were all born from the village- Port Mourant, Berbice- this is the eastern county( next to Suriname) of the three counties that make up Guyana; the others being Essequibo and Demerara. It is this very Port Mourant that the father of the nation- Dr. Cheddi Bharat Jagan came from too. Peace out. 🙏🏽🇬🇾

This is not talked about, not taught in our history books, not part of our pop culture. I learnt about it when I came to Canada and saw that most major temples here were originally constructed by Indo-Caribbeans. Then I just got intrigued by Indo-Caribbeans and their history. My and my wife's family come from UP/Bihar region so there was a personal push to learn about this too. I mean I am sure some of the people my family knew back then were taken but nobody knows about it.... But overall yeah this is sad. Indians need to reconnect with Indo-Caribbeans.

    @@Winellaoose yeah well... what can I say? sad really but yes our education system hasn't reformed as much as it should have. It has reformed but this chapter of the history has still largely been ignored. I have heard that current dispensation has done some work in reconnecting the communities with visa free travel and as Shekhar said honouring Indo-Caribbean folks with Pravasi Bharatiya Awards but there is a long way to go. Personally, at least in Canada I have seen in Hindu temples there is more awareness now of shared heritage. So North America can also be a good place to start rebuilding connections. Another thing is, we were left extremely poor and lacking basic stuff post independence, so focus has mainly been on those kind of things. I hope as we get richer and more confident, we'll start talking about these things more. The geographical distance doesn't help either.

Relience Industries is a major player for handling the cheaper sour crude as their modern refinaries across western India are all fitted with desulphurisation plants capable lowering the sulphur content during the destructive distillation of crude oil ensuring environmentally friendly by products, e.g. Low Sulphur Gas Oil ( LSGO), a distilate with 0.1% S content.

    Pryia... Resolution is judicially being undertaken by the International Court of Justice, as has been stipulated in the Geneva Agreement of 1966: failed bilateral discussions, then the United Nations and, finally, the International Court of Justice. No room is made for a return to bilateral talks. The Argyle Meeting is legally non-binding and meritless in the eyes of the United Nations and International Court of Justice.

    A lot of East-Indian Guyanese people were born and raised in that disputed territory (Esequibo). I have family there right now and am mixed with East-Indian from my grandmother's side. This situation caught me off guard and I fear for my family. It's like one day we're all living our lives in peace and suddenly a threat on the lives of innocent people out of nowhere. That's who suffers the most from invasions, innocent civilians. The Venezuelan army has killed their own innocent civilians before. Look up the "kumarakapay massacre". Now add a generation of indoctrination and several years of severe inflation, hardshipsand poverty. Those are the people that will be coming into Guyana, as soldiers should Maduro order it. Praying to GOD things get settled peacefully once and for all.
