Indian Arrival Day....

MAY 05,2005: Today marks the 167th Anniversary of Indian Presence in the Caribbean,when the ships "Whitby" and "Hesperus" arrived in British Guiana in the year 1838 . My Indo-caribbean friends celebrate their arrival to caribbean islands "as a day of great achievement for Indians of the Indentureship Experience , a Day more significant than any other day including auspicious religious days , a day some of India's Bravest took a determined chance to improve their lot and that of their Future generations "

Message from The President of Guyana Mr.Bharrat Jagdeo
