  • India Guyana Bilateral Relation
    India-Guyana Bilateral Relations During the colonial period, Guyana's economy was focused on plantation agriculture, which initially depended on slave labour. Guyana saw major slave rebellions in 1763 and again in 1823.Great Britain passed the Slavery Abolition Act in British Parliament that abolished slavery in most British colonies, freeing more than 800,000 enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South Africa. British Guiana became a Crown colony in 1928, and in 1953 it was granted home rule. In 1950, Mr. Cheddi Jagan, who was Indian-Guyanese, and Mr. Forbes Burnham, who was Afro-Guyanese, created the colony's first political party, the Progressive People's Party (PPP), which was dedicated to gaining the colony's independence. In the 1953 elections, Mr. Cheddi Jagan was elected chief minister. Mr. Cheddi Jagan of the PPP and Mr. Forbes Burnham of the PNC were to dominate Guyana politics for decades to come. In 1961, Britain granted the colony autonomy, and Mr. Cheddi Jagan became Prime Minister (1961–1964). In 1964, Burnham succeeded Jagan as Prime Minister, a position he retained after the country gained full independence on May 26, 1966. With independence, the country returned to its traditional name, Guyana. Mr. Burnham ruled Guyana until his death in 1985 (from 1980 to 1985, after a change in the constitution, he served as president). Mr. Desmond Hoyte of the PNC became president in 1985, but in 1992 the PPP reemerged, winning a majority in the general election. Mr. Cheddi Jagan became President, and succeeded in reviving the economy. After his death in 1997, his wife, Janet Jagan, was elected President.

  • Tribute for Janet Jagan
    Speech for the late Janet Jagan former President of Guyana at York College. Members of the head table, consul general of Guyana, Mr.Evans, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. We are gathered here today to pay tribute to a great lady, a lady whom I protected while she served as Prime Minister and President of Guyana. I was honored as a member of the Presidential Guards to serve in this capacity. I was selected to join the Presidential Guards after Comrade Cheddi Jagan became President in 1992 and served as one his Bodyguards until his passing in 1997. The P.P.P won a landslide victory at the polls and he became the new president of Guyana, his wife Janet, became first lady. Prime Minister Samuel Hinds was sworn in as president, Janet Jagan became prime minister, after a year, elections were held and Janet won the Presidency. Comrades here in the Diaspora I don't want you to forget as soon as Cheddi was declared winner all hell broke loose, it was former President Jimmy Carter who saved the day. During this time, I witnessed the caring, compassionate and fearlessness of this great woman, Janet Jagan. Every morning before we left for the office of the President, she would give me a bag with President Cheddi's breakfast. She would then drive to the New Guyana Company, home of the Mirror Newspaper, without Bodyguards. As First Lady, she rarely traveled around with president Cheddi, she never liked the spotlight. However, she would accompany comrade Cheddi and the grandchildren, whom she loved dearly to the swimming pool, a car was sent to pick up Kellawan Lall's and Gail Texeira's and many other kids to go along with them.

Indeed, one of the earliest Egyptian queens, Ku-baba, ruled in the Mesopotamian City-State of UR around 2500 BCE. However, this trend to place females in key leadership roles did not emerge in the Western World until during World War I when women took on the role as members of the revolutionary governments in countries such Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, and Ireland. By the 1960s there were to be further gains as Sirivamo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka became the world's first female President and in 1974 Isabel Perón of Argentina also assumed a leadership position. Today, there are approximately twenty nine female leaders in twenty nine different countries. Eleven of these female Presidents are in the countries of Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Finland, India, Kosovo, Kyrgystan, Liberia, Lithuania, San Marino and Switzerland. In addition there are three reigning queens in the countries of Denmark, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom. Twelve females also serve as Prime Ministers in the countries of Australia, Bangladesh, Croatia, Germany, Iceland, Mali, Slovakia, Thailand, and Trinidad and Tobago and in the self-governing territories of Bermuda, Saint Maartin and the Åland Islands.
