Quoting Shakespeare in the Diwali debate

Nov 05, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
The fault lies not in the stars but in ourselves that we are underlings” was Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar’s admonition to Hindu Guyanese.  When to celebrate Diwali has no compromise solution.

A group of prominent adjudicators should promptly initiate dialogue and compromise to get this issue resolve before the plane lands. Speaker Mr. Ralph Ramkarran should initiate the meeting comprising himself, former Judge Mr Prem Persaud as chairman ,Mr Yesu Persaud, Mr Ravi Dev, Mrs Leila Ramson, retired former Justice Mr Nandram Kissoon and possibly one nominee , possibly a Pandit from the opposing side.

They should decide the way forward and so advice the Security Minister. Compromise is imperative. They must act as quickly as possible before the due  date(s) because this issue cannot become permanent. Since Hindus culturally celebrate for many days why has it become an issue this year anyway?

The Security Minister’s  responsibility requires him to declare the official holiday or two if he so decides. That he is a good devotee is not in doubt. Why blame him when Hindus themselves should settle their own problems. All is not lost. The darkest night of Amavasya will not change.

It is approximately the halfway mark of the 12 hour period starting on November 10 at  11.34 AM  ending on November 11 at 1.27 PM.  It is humans who must compromise among themselves.
Hurling blame on the APNU-AFC coalition for something which they had no fundamental causation is unnecessary. Truth be told the Coalition can hardly be accused of influencing the moon’s orbit to sow dissension among its detractors. Unless we are capable of resolving differences among ourselves we can hardly blame others for widening them
