Fiji Crisis: Colonialism of Hindu Kind
By Sid Harth
"The Pacific Studies Initiative (PSI) is a joint project of the University of Hawai`i Center for Pacific Islands
Studies, the East-West Center, Kapi`olani Community College Library, and other partners."
The graduate level seminar conducted by PSI in 1997, "Seminar in 20th Century Pacific Island History.
History 675E, following professors presented a comprehensive review of colonization of Pacific islands,
including Fiji. The university has done well in serving these Pacific islands as they have become a force
to reckon with. The conflicts among the natives and the usurpers, mostly colonial empires like British,
American, French, Dutch and Spanish created the most turbulent history of the peaceful nations.
Other societies grew out of that conflicts, like a case in Americas. Few and far in between rebellions
like that of Che Guevara are merely dots, pin pricks of the struggle natives had to put up with the
advancing armies of usurpers.
British conial powers wanted trained labor for their various overseas cash crops, as sugarcane and
coffee plantations, banana, yeah, them too. The natives did not have what it takes to understand the
value of labor. British, therefore, heavily recruited people from their vast empire and redistributed
such low wage coolies throughout the colonies.
The vast majority went to Africa, West Indies but sizable population also went to Hong Kong,
Singapore and other territories. The art of British pesuation was superb. So much so that after a
limited period of indentured servitude, the imported coolies decided to remain in sometimes hostile
territories carving a niche for their communities.
Railway building inAfrica was possible due to generous contributions of coolies from India.
The testimony to their hard work ethics and perseverance is noted. One Somji of East Africa
has put up an exhibition to show what sacrifices made by these Indian coolies to make travel in
Africa a breeze. According to some estimate, for every one mile of rail tracks some four out
of five laborers died. Some died of disease and others were devoured by man eating lions.
The choice of these indentured Indian labor is obvious. No matter how hard theconditions were,
they were certainly better than what lives, make it pitiful lives they had back home. Feudal system
of land distribution in India has something to do about it. The landless and pennyless Indian coolies
thought it worthwhile to face the hungry lions that say rich Andhra Pradesh landlords and suffer the
same indignities that the current landless peasants, dirt farmers face, even as we speak.
No wonder the Devil worshipping Andhra Pradesh thugs like Lakireddy Balireddy managed to
lure Shudra virgins to America with false promises of jobs to run his desi brothels and the local
Shudras would not even mind. These putrid patriots have no morals and care less if their own
daughters work as prostitutes in foreign lands. Poverty makes one behave like this.
Idiotboy, Mullapudy doesn't like me. Who does. These pathetic pagans evoked human rights
for their Neanderthal criminal brother, Lakireddy Balireddy, not for the enslaved Shudra virgins
who Lakireddy Balireddy's two boys had honor of deflowering, for free. Bastards were yelling
and screaming that Lakireddy Balireddy family of criminals were falsely accused and they be
treated innocent till proven guilty. They are also speaking, rather evoking the rule of democracy for Fiji.
What democracy? Colonial Indians have wiped out the natives. Whatever has remained are too
suspicious of this Banana Republic of a Hindu demoncracy. Laloo Prasad Yadav is a criminal.
I have no problem calling him so. However, his party was democratically elected. RSS rascals
were after him from the day one. His wife Rabri Devi received the harshest treatment at the hands
of RSS governor. The toppling game that is being played in Fiji is no different than Bihar, India.
Gue·va·ra (g?-vär'?, ge-vä'rä), Ernesto [Known as “Che.”] 1928-1967.
Argentine-born Cuban revolutionary leader who was Fidel Castro's chief lieutenant in the
Cuban revolution (1956-1959) and later served as minister of industry (1961-1965). Active in
other Latin American revolutions, he was captured and executed by the Bolivian army.
Sid Harth..."Holy Hindu cow shit eating rascals cannot tell which body orifice of theirs is meant for
what purpose, be it Mullapudi muddleheaded monster or Vinay Kumar Reddy RSS ruffian."
