Happy Indian Arrival Day Trinbago. I rose this morning reading accounts of indentureship, perusing interviews and viewing a documentary on the odyssey of Arrival. There is NO way of discounting or diluting the immense struggle faced by the immigrants to establish a toehold in a strange society . Moreover, the progress of their descendants is a worthy tribute to their sufferings. May we venerate the ancestors and never taint their legacy as some have seen it fit to do. It hurts me that the actions of a few have served to reinforce stereotypes and firmly entrench Indophobia in a wider spectrum that does not naturally harbour strong prejudices. It is meet that we forget these negative influences and strive to erase their association with what is a story of perseverance , self-denial and achievement.
