This documentary about forbes burnham is 100% correct. Guyana was very poor country under burhham ruling and with racial tension because of burnham policy.
Well Forbes burnam had 2 greatest guyanese indians in his cabinet.His attorney General who later became a judge on the international court of Justice Dr. Mohammed Shahubiddeen and his foreign affairs minister who later became the secretary General of the common wealth of nations Sir sunny Ramphal.
While Burnham PNC was African dominated and appears to favour Afro Guyanese the result s show that African Guyanese generally did not benefit economically from the policies and programmes implemented. Most of them were employed in government jobs and did not not benefit from business ventures/ skills.Consequently when over 7000 workers were retrenched in 1983 they had little skills to get. self employment.His party PNC was supported in its nationalization efforts by the PPP
You're another person trying to push and pull nonsense. Either Burnham created policies that solely benefit Afo Guyanese, or he didn't. Pick one and push those lies of distraction...

He’s not a genius. He’s a dictator. Our country was the poorest country in the world, because of that devil. He’s burning in hell right now for the bad things he did to the country for 28 years. Rice flour days and malnutrition. Never forgot that devil.
@@rookminiharilall3149 Thank you for sharing your comment on this! The Aran Darcy Project welcomes the support and thoughts of others. We posture that we generally did not have racism in Guyana but instead, we had an unintentional class system. This happened because one set of Guyanese worked hard, sacrificed and made good lives for themselves. This incurred the envy of others and this envy was used by the PNC to stir up feelings of dissent among their supporters.
Were you living in Guyana during the period of which you speak so authoritatively? How old were you then? Much racially biased rumours intended to create divisiveness between Africans, descendants of African slavery and Indian immigrants are now being circulated for political reasons. Burnham was far from the dictator he's reported to have been; nor was banning of flour a deliberate act against any section of the population; but, as the great Dr.Jagan advised at a critical time in world history when an atomic war between The Soviet Union and America seemed imminent. When the American Central Intelligence Agency and the Russian K.G.B. created havoc in Chile, Guatemala and Grenada
. Dr. Jagan wisely advised: "We must produce and we must eat what we produce. What Guyana sorely needs now, is not half-truths about Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham that can create bitterness, particularly in the hearts of young descendants of Immigrants; but records of the great achievements of both Dr.Jagan and Mr Burnham while serving as Premier, Prime Minister and President during the most challenging period of World history when only a split second's revelation of the truth prevented an atomic war between America and the Soviet Union. You can easily incite conflict in Guyana as now occurring in England and Bangladesh Biased accounts presented as facts of history cannot but provoke unnecessary conflicts of attrition. We need unbiased accounts designed to foster National unity. Both Dr.Jagan and Mr Burnham were patriots who had to be skilful actors in the interest of keeping the country independent between 1947 and 1991.
@@frederick.parris295 You are quite unclear about the point you wish to make sir. History supports our assertions. The intention in these reports is certainly not to create division, to the contrary, it is to awaken an awareness of our common heritage
@AranDarcyProject AS you will appreciate, my account cannot be biased since I speak and write as a keen observer with a passionate interest in fostering National unity, one to whom Dr.Jagan refers in his writing: "What we did have were volunteers, people who believed in what they were doing and who were prepared to give free service " Of Richard Ishmael, Dr.Jagan writes as follows: "In an article, Victor Riesel left little room for doubt about U.S. subversive intentions. Under the caption, "Unionists trained in U.S. to harry Jagan's government " - It went on to contend that "six courageous men" - all trade Unionists - had been recently trained by rhe American Institute for free Labour Development in the technique of anti-communist campaign. Amongst these men was "a rather fearless chap by the name of Richard Ishmael. President of the anti-communist sugar workers Union known as The Man Power Citizens Association". Ishmael, President of the British Guiana Trades Union Council- yet none of you writers ever write about Ishmael's role in your desperation to prove your assumptions about Burnham. Is it because one was a descendant of East Indian immigrants while the other was of African descent! Please read "The West on Trial" with an open mind, in relation to that period of history, and unbias your account.

Burnham was a smart guy and was only interested in power and was backed by some big powers
The biggest crook and failure to Guyana
We may badmouth burnham but he was an educated smart man.Educated in the UK and the most fluent English speaking leader in the Caribbean.
As a leader, those traits are meaningless if you are the only one benefiting while the nation was failing in Burnham’s time.
@@VishnuRamdin-xe7yd That he certainly was!
He may have been educated so that would make an educated jackass
PNC still remains a racist party because this was BURNHAM policy that is why Prime minister Modi of India did not recognise the PNC party.

Barnum was a Genius in his own class okay
burnham had guyanese living in poverty so how was he a genius. He was a dictator.
