An insult to an intelligent audience

Mar 08, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Those of us who attended the inspiring lecture by Professor Clem Seecharan titled: “El Dorado Complex in the Shaping of the Indo-Guyanese: A Revisionist Perspective” on Wednesday, 21 February 2014 at the Umana Yana, would have been excited to experience a repeat of the presentation. This opportunity was (allegedly) offered by Channel 11 last week. I therefore called a number of colleagues who had missed the live presentation – to listen and be educated.
Unfortunately I was not prepared for its abrupt truncation which robbed viewers of Professor Seecharan’s critically climatic appeal to the divided society of a ‘sovereign state’ to have a conversation that would lead eventually to a ‘unified nation’.
The insensitive personnel who made this unfortunate decision clearly did not appreciate the disservice they did to the comprehensiveness of the Professor’s presentation; the insult to an intelligent audience (of tax payers); and, not exceptionally, of their own intellectual handicap, if not perhaps spiritual sterility.
I am a disenchanted viewer.
E.B. John
