I am happy to see information on our historical leaders, I grew up
knowing more about the leaders of the rest of the world. I often think about
how great it could have been if our two founding fathers had worked together
to built. I think it their memory, we should unite and make their original
dream come true.

An educational site which lends deep insight into the life and times of
our dear leader. A suggestion: We all know where Chelsea Clinton is and what
she's working on and doing. The first daughter is an inevitable part of the
former president's identity. It would be great if the Guyanese community can
be provided the same insight into the lives of Dr. Jagan's children. Saty

Dear Research Centre,
I am very impressed and I think your web site is a wonderful memorial to
a truly remarkable and very human, gentle man. I am a professor at the
University of Central Florida, and about ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Jagan
came to visit and Mr. Jagan gave one of the most inspiring lectures on Third
World development that I have ever heard. I've never forgotten him. I was
saddened when he died.
All my best wishes on your work and for the betterment of your country.
Most Sincerely, Waltraud Q. Morales Department of Political Science

There are so many things i remembered as a young man growing up in the
era of premier Dr C Jagan. We had a beautiful country a system that was not
too perfect but we had love for each other, regardless of our race colour or
creed. I will never forget the sacrifices and struggle that Dr Jagan had to
face and yet his people , the guyanese people turn against him. They were
too blind to see so far ahead in the future and fail to see the beautiful
guyana he had in his plan. I'm in tears to say i will never live to see the
beautiful country we once knew, we can only hope for our children and grand
children to make this country what it was over 40 to 50 years ago. god bless
Dr. Cheddi Jagan.

Thank you for keeping us all informed over here in England. You have kept
the old and young updated with how our country is progressing, and for those
that were not born there you have taught them and given them the knowledge
to understand there roots. 'The Tribute to Cheddi Jagan' Page was
educational. My father studied with Cheddi Jagan and his brother Derek in
the younger days, so it was nice to complete the picture and have a clearer
understanding in my mind, to how my parents lived and were brought up. With
Thanks, Theresa Cheddie, London, England.

Thank you for publishing my poem of 13.07.94 In addition,
a tribute TO OUR LATE Dr. CHEDDI JAGAN Ge quotation from Rev.
Surujlall Motilall from Holland " Only those who lost their's can say, how
aching it is to encounter such a day. Never the less, Oh God ! such is life
for our leader to die and leave us alone to strife" His image, will always
be embedded whitin me, although he was called away by the Almighty Oh God,
what a disheartening day to remember when our father had gone and leave us
to wonder. Indeed, its' a real heartache to tell, that we have to bid our
leader a farewell. Our father of our nation has gone, he has gone forever
and for ever from this world I pray you Oh God!, may you keep his departed
soul good. From Rev. Surujlall Motilall of the Netherlands 05.01.04

I was lucky to know and associate with a great man by the name Dr.Cheddi
Jagan D.D.S. He used to stay at our home in Hampton Court Essequibo Coast
during his days in opposition. I admire him for his gently smile and hug he
used to give me. He inspired me to study
Dentistry. I am now a Dentex.
His life and works will live in me and our family forever.
He had loved fruits and my mom would send me around the village to
purchase all different kinds of fruit for Cde.Cheddi
as he was popularly called. I also remember he
loves to exercise in the mornings. He wakes up
very early and does his stuff,exercise,shave,chat.listen news(BBC) etc.

I visited Guyana as a young exchange participant some 25 years ago, and
at that time I purchased a copy of Cheddi Jagan's "The West on Trial," but I
never read the book. Nowadays I teach political philosophy, and recently I
have been thinking about Frantz Fanon's incredible book, "The Wretched of
the Earth," which carried my mind back to the few things I had picked up
over the years about Guyana's struggles against colonialism. I decided to
find my copy of "The West on Trial" and read it. I am now more than halfway
through it, and I have to say I am impressed. Cheddi Jagan writes very
clearly and factually, without rhetoric or flourish, letting his
presentation of the record speak for itself; in so doing, the events of his
life and the events of the nation come alive, bringing the reader to the
very heart of Guyana and its struggles. One can only admire Jagan's apparent
calm resolve and determination - in the face of so many incredible obstacles
- to work for the betterment of the Guyanese people. Thanks for the website.
The information and the photographs provided on it have helped me to answer
some questions and to put faces to names - a very useful site. Cheers, John
Duncan (University of King's College, Halifax)

I have jus read a dedication to the contribution of Dr. Jagan had made to
the people and the country of Guyana. I am from Trinidada and therefore have
heard his dedication to his country. from this i ahve realised that he was
really dedicated to his people the east indians of guyana and to an
extension the est indians of the caribbean.

I greatly appreciate reading your site with its many links. My interest
was sparked by viewing the film Thunder in Guyana, on PBS. I knew that
Cheddi Jagan was a great man who had struggled to win the independence of
his nation and had seen many of his hopes for his nation dashed by the
British and later by CIA's covert operations. I had been thrilled when he
was finally elected in '92 and hoped that his election would finally bring
to life some of the promise of Guyana. I remember being shocked to hear of
his death a few years later and thinking that it was sad that he had just
not had enough time to fulfill all the promise that had been represented by
his election. The news here in the US seldom covers Guyana so I had only
been dimly aware of subsequent events. It was wonderful to watch the
independent film Thunder in Guyana to see the story of Janet Jagan and her
role along with that of her husband in creating an independent Guyana. I
hope to keep up with the news on Guyana more in the future. In Solidarity,
Babette Grunow

I had the good fortune,in the mid sixties, of bumping into this giant of
a man. As a yougster in those days, little boys were meant to be seen and
not heard from thus I followed the crowds quietly just waiting to hear him
speak. He played his part well and Im sure he was a superb Dad and
Husband.....I can still hear him say "we need men and women with "backbone"
and "intestinal fortitude to be able to withstand the opposing forces and to
forge ahead with the vision of the PPP.... Respectfully, CarlR.

Dear Ms. Nadira ji, Hi! Namaste!! My best regards to you!! I am Anjani
Kumar Tiwari, an Indian male, 28-year-old.I have visited the webpage
www.jagan.org and I am very much thrilled to know that you are doing a great
and marvellous job. I was born in India but I know a lot about the people of
Indian origin, who were migrated from India. The friends and relatives of my
ancestors were captured in the jungles and on the plains of Uttar Pradesh
and Bihar in India, captured as you capture wild beasts, torn from their
homes and their kindred, loaded into slave ships, packed like sardines in a
box, half of them dying on the ocean passage; some jumping into the sea in
their frenzy, when they had a chance to choose death in place of slavery.
They were captured and brought there in South America. Their children are
very rich, modern and progressive now. The law has made them equal and I am
really proud of world leaders like the late Chhedi Jagan. I am an ardent
admirer of the late Chhedi Jagan and I salute his works and memories. The
world-class leaders like the Father of Indian Nation, Mahatma Gandhi and Mr.
Chhedi Jagan lives in our hearts. My warm regards to his family-members and
all Guyanese people. Guyana fascinates me too much and I would love to visit
this beautiful country one day. I am a student of University of Delhi and I
can be contacted on my cellphone number +91 9891438539 and you can write to
me a few sentences at my e-mail ID: aktiwaridu@yahoo.com With warmest
regards & best compliments, Anjani Kumar Tiwari, E-mail: aktiwaridu@yahoo.com

I like to know about Guyana`s politcal past and Dr. Cheddie's history is
the best to be reviewed. And, I like to know about 1930-1945, I'm kinda
obsessed about that era, so I read anything that I come across about the the
Great Depression and the war, his veiws about poverty during those times.
And it is very intresting to know about how Cheddie and Janet strugled with
the P.P.P/C through British rule, P.N.C's dictatorship and the blind eye
America seemed to play for a while & America's mistaken thrust of the P.N.C.
I have full admiration of any site about Cheddie's life. Dimitri Karmal Ali

I grew up in Detroit and lived on Humphrey Street. A young man, his first
name escapes me, whose last name was Rosenberg used to come to our
neighborhood quite often to participate in our various games. Could this be
Janet Jagan's brother, and if so I remember her well from Durfee Junior
High. My email address: greenwald13@yahoo.com Herbert I. Greenwald Ed.D.

Hi Nadira,
Thank you for having the wisdom to maintain a web site in honor of one
of the most
significant people of the modern age. Cheddi, his wife, his family,
his friends,
and the supporters he inspired are truly heroic, visionary
people
who lived remarkable lives that exemplify what it
means to be fully human.
Nadira, it is amazing how Cheddi's presence got through the morass of
post-war
hysteria. In those
years, I lived in a suburb of Washington, DC and if you believed
the "news", you would have thought that Cheddi was
the most powerful man
in the world
because his name was
in every world news report. The reporters never took time to
explain what
was happening in your country or even to give a full profile of Mr. Jagan.
It was only
distorted nonsense report after report of Cheddi Jagan this and
Cheddi Jagan that. Having only network news media
to inform them, Americans
could not
possibly understand anything coherent about what life in Cheddi's world
was all about.
But even a child like me knew that there was someone named
Cheddi Jagan
that was "doing things."
It is a tribute to his wisdom that in the middle of such startling
ignorance, Cheddi Jagan
stood up and
lived a life devoted to positive and productive change for people who
were supposed
to be "worth less." His wife is equally astonishing - gosh, the world
was so
admirably graced by those two souls.
Nadira, it is our turn now. I just want you to know that there is one more
Black person
who rejects racial
madness and embraces humanism. We certainly need social and
economic
change, but to do so, people have to recover from hate,
denounce hate, and
live in a way that
accepts and appreciates diversity of opinion and culture. Realizing
the Oneness of
humanity is the first step...living as one is the necessary thing that gives
quality to all
that we intend and to all that we
accomplish. We
just need to cooperate
and we will get
satisfying results.
Hate is the true enemy of humankind. It is the destructive monster that
prevents us
from realizing the
goals of peace and prosperity that we strive for. I know I am
saying stuff
that you already know. I just want you to know that your ideas are
still as significant and worthwhile as when you first had the courage to
accept them.
Thank you for giving the world an opportunity to consider something
important.
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Michael

Great website , heres my bit for the Man: CHEDDI JAGAN Born in Port
Mourant on a sugar plantation He daily witnessed Guyana's exploitation He
saw hardship and knew there was only one cure And Cheddi promised to fight
oppression for sure He fought against the plantation owners Championing the
cause of the sugar-workers The gov't. of the day could not understand For he
was a force, a tiger in their hand In those days Imperialism was in And
Social Social/Marxism was a sin You bow to Uncle Sam and dance to his tune
Or you'd pass away like the last full moon The people came last and politics
came first But this jingoism didn’t quench his thirst He stood up and was
counted though he was alone In Moscow, his friends had problems of their own
Guyanese celebrated raising the Indian jhanda As he watched, admired and
even visited India When in 1947 India became independent To Nehru and Ghandi
good wishes he sent Then later Ghana got independence too And all Guyanese
dressed in every hue Joined with their brothers of Ghana And celebrated with
Kwame Nkrumah This did not deter him, he stuck to his belief And was forced
to be the opposition to a thief As bullets replaced ballots in every
succession As Guyana was repeatedly raped in every election All his pleas
fell on deaf ears Especially to the political seers He went to the United
Nation and lamented But the US backed body was undaunted The British changed
first past the post To prevent the PPP from getting the most They did this
with the sole devious intention By switching to proportional representation
The result was no party got a majority The British way of getting rid of the
PPP Burnham and D’Aguiar formed a coalition Making way for Burnham’s
Guyanization The registration by the Shoup Company Made utter sheer mockery
of democracy Padded with the dead, hanged, even the fictitious Which the
same British press called "ridiculous" In England the press had a field day
When Granada TV did their expose` Airing '”The Trails of the Vanishing
Voter” And "The Making of a Prime Minister" The whole West knew of that
widespread scam But they prefer to put their money on Burnham The Indians
overseas were denied their right The wholesale rigging was too much to fight
Rubber bands played a big roll in elections They were used in the PNC
stronghold sections To wrap bundles of votes i.e. the PNC’s share And ballot
boxes were tampered without fear Desmond Hoyt, the architect on the
commission He became President with Burnham's extinction Since 1992 there
was never a fair and free election Only fear, fraud, disgust and wholesale
corruption That was the foundation of the PNC Gov’t. abuse What do you
expect such garbage would produce? For 28 years they ruled with an iron fist
And did every bleddy thing wrong on the list Cheddi Jagan did all he humanly
could But it was if he was preaching to wood They rebuked him and after 28
years The good doctor still showed he cares Like the others who crossed the
floor in stealth He could have partook in the country's wealth Call it quits
and left like the others But he stuck to his guns and his brothers But
behind every great man There is always a good woman And we can't and should
never forget His strong and faithful wife Janet Like Nehru and Ghandi of
India He also had big dreams for Guyana But his reign was aborted by a
conspiracy of silence Though like Rev. King he too preached non-violence To
clean up the corruption and debt is a huge task To do it overnight in a few
years we can never ask Wholesale nepotism and corruption ’PNC made’ To wipe
off the stench it would take a decade But there is a cool new breeze blowing
With many changes for better forthcoming The winds of change are here at
last But we should never forget the past We have to put our shoulders to the
wheel We have to work like one people with one keel Let no "divide and rule"
come between us again Strive for real independence, let sanity reign Jagan
never succumbed or relent Even with his life almost spent He fought his foes
with his bare hands And never groveled to their demands He's no ordinary
man, he dreamt in his own way Like the Rev.Martin Luther King, he hoped one
day The people of Guyana would rise up peacefully Become one people, one
nation, with one destiny.

One can only HOPE that the future
generation tread the path of this
GREAT HUMAN BEING: DR. CHEDDI BHARAT JAGAN.
LONG LIVE HIS PRINCIPLES!! LONG LIVE THE P.P.P.!!
Ms Khrishna Gossai.
JAGAN, GANDHI, NEHRU
AND GOD
During the fight for India’s independence, Gandhi and Nehru said these
words: Gandhi said:
(1) The English `have
taken away our money from year to year. The most important posts are
reserved for them. We are kept in a state of slavery. They behave insolently
towards us and disregard our feelings.
(2) Formerly men worked
in the open air as much as they liked. Now thousands of work men meet
together and for the sake of maintenance, they work in factories and mines
for the millionaires. Their condition is worse than that of the beast.
(3) Women who should be
queen of the household are working in the streets or slave away in
factories.
(4) I have no objection
in you (the English) remaining in my country; but although you are the ruler
you will have to remain as servants of the people. It is not we who have to
do as you wish but it is you who has to do as we wish. You may keep the
riches that you have drained from this land but you may not drain riches
henceforth.
Nehru said:
(1) Socialism is an
alternative to imperialist exploitation. Capitalism leads to the
exploitation of one man by another, one group by another and one country by
another. In order to secure mass support for the struggle for independence
we must clearly lay down an economic program for the mass with socialism as
its ideal.
(2) For whatever is
the fault of communism, it is at least not hypocritical and not imperialist.
Gandhi was called the
Mahatma (the great soul) and Nehru was called the freedom fighter.
Rabindranauth Tagore
said this about Nehru: “A solider whose banner is the banner of the
exploited and a patriot whose humanity and vision are not obstructed by the
barrier of the land and its past and has offered India two gifts, the gift
to live bravely and the gift to think intelligently”
In Guyana although Dr.
Jagan’s vision and thinking were the same as Gandhi’s and Nehru’s, he was
called a communist, an atheist and a racist, and he and his wife were
labeled the nastiest things that one could find in the dictionary.
Were these two people
all that bad?
According to the
Aquarian gospel, Jesus astonished his teachers with his clever and profound
answer and incurred the anger of the Brahmans by his open criticism.
Unlike Jesus who had to
run out of India, Jagan, Gandhi and Nehru were sent to jail because they
angered the British.
Jesus said in the Bible
that it is not by shouting “Lord, Lord” that one shall enter the kingdom of
heaven but that it is by one’s deeds and actions that one shall do so. In
the Gita, Lord Krishna said that when you serve humanity you serve me.
Dr. Jagan and his wife
throughout their lives stood side by side with the Guyanese people. They
helped them to fight for their freedom, independence, civil liberties and
democracy without thinking of themselves. They were never tired of fighting
for this just cause.
Gandhi said that if you
are tired it only betrays your impatience. Bishma said in the Mahabharata
that wealth generated must only be used for the good of mankind. The Bible
said that the love of money is evil.
Dr. Jagan never strived
for personal wealth. He never had a foreign bank account like some leaders.
He was offered millions to stop fighting for the poor and he refused it. He
was a simple man and he loved the simple things in life and the people. The
money that the country generated and the money that he borrowed were used
for the development of the people. There is no other leader and party in
this world that I know of that has done as much for its people in such a
short time and with so little money.
One journalist told Dr.
Jagan that he doesn’t know of any other leader in the world who takes his
lunch with him to work.
Mrs. Jagan stood tall as
a wife to Dr. Jagan.
In the Ramayana it is
stated that a mother, father and brother bestow only limited joy. A husband,
however, bestows unlimited joy.
Vile is the woman who
refuses to serve her husband. A woman who treats her husband with disrespect
even though he is old, sick, dull headed, blind, deaf, wrathful, or most
wretched, shall suffer various torments in hell. A devotion of body, speech
and mind to her Lord’s (husband) feet is the only duty, sacred vow and
penance of a woman.
Mrs. Jagan, after her
marriage, never thought at anytime of going back to her parents in the USA.
When her father was sick, the British did not allow her to go to see him.
She went after her father had died.
Like mother Sati in the
Ramayana, Mrs. Jagan stood next to her husband in the good and bad times.
Mother Sati spends fourteen years in the wilderness with her husband while
Mrs. Jagan spends twenty eight years out of the government with her husband.
Although they knew that their lives were not safe they continued to fight
for the people. Like Lord Rama whom people loved to see and who was the
people’s only hope although he was not the king, Dr. Jagan was flocked by
people whenever he went anywhere. They loved to hear him speak, and he was
their only hope.
Mrs.Jagan treated her
husband with all respect and even though he is dead she still carries the
torch for her husband. She did not leave her husband’s work to be with his
son whose ideas are different from theirs.
Now even after his death
we see the members of ROAR are trying to discredit Mrs.Jagan. Their new book
is making Rai the hero and Dr. Jagan the villain.
In the Gita it is said
that the intellect is determined and directed towards one ideal where as the
intellect of the undecided wonders in all directions after innumerable aims.
They claim that Dr.
Jagan did not know about the Indian culture.
I wonder how many
Indians at that time and even now know anything about the Indian culture. I
would be glad if one of them could tell us about Indian culture.
Let us agree that Dr.
Jagan did not know about Indian culture.
Was culture the issue?
No.
The Guyanese people did
not have a cultural problem but a bread and butter problem. Their lives were
that of semi slavery. The money that most people worked for was not enough
to feed their families. Most families’ lived in a one bedroom house, so
there was no privacy. These are just a few of the problems.
Hanuman Prasad of India
said that “it is the impurities of your own mind that is mainly responsible
for brining to your notice only the dark side of others. Make your own mind
faultless and you will find that the numbers of sinners in this world is
very much reduced.”
