Can Mr. Kissoon prove this?

May 02, 2015 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Your columnist Freddie Kissoon on April 30, 2015 wrote: “One has to go back to ancient Hindu scripts and what those documents say about dark-skinned people, Africans and the framework of the caste system.”
It is obvious that Mr. Kissoon does not write like a professor. His article makes claims without giving name of the scripts, the authors, and in what original language they were written; also the authenticity of the script.
And, if he is not a scholar of the original language, can he say if the translation thereof that he uses is accurate? Where can “one” find copies of the scripts, in order to go back to them? What are the verbal descriptions in the scripts/documents to indicate dark-skinned people and Africans? What words of the scripts/documents point out the caste system to be a “system?”
PPP is not Indian or Hindu, not even Guyanese. How can others, besides Mr. Kissoon, be enlightened that the caste system the PPP practices is the exact one from the scripts/documents and how can he prove that?
