A must listen to alvin Alvin Kallicharran

AK: Comes from Hanuman . (laughs) If you are an Indian, you will understand that. Being an Indian,

I believe in that mantra. Dal and channa [chickpeas] -

what they call in the English language split peas, bhaji and sabzi [vegetables]… I'm kidding.

I have often said that to understand a man, you must understand the condtions under which he grew up.

It is true for Kalli and Chanders. They are survivors. Kalli was treated terribly by the WICB.

In '83 he scored over 2,000 runs in county cricket & was named one of Wisden 5 cricketers of the year,

yet was not called to play for WI. He took apart Marshall, Garner and other West Indians playing county cricket at the time.

Not a single Govt. in the WI spoke out against what PNC (Burnham) govt. was doing to Indians in Guyana at athe time.

They banned importation of Indian staples like Dal and Flour.

Kalli was deprived of making a living playing cricket for the WI and he had to survive.

Dedicated as any WI cricketer, yet nary a mention of him or any Indian in Fire in Babylon. Why?

He still does not get the respect he deserves Explain why another Indian, Kanhai, only captained Wi for a few matches and

you will undestand  the frustrations of Indians in WI.

Because Babylon is a mythical place and so is the Lion of Judah .

Hail Selassie of Ethiopia is a black Rasta Jah (god) !

West Indies Cricket are claimed by the Afro caribbean as their :

delivered by Jah !  ::LOL::

FYI :

Boney M - Rivers of Babylon 1978                            

Alvin Kallicharran , a Hindu would have to chant :  ::LOL::


By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

Let the words of our mouth
and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

After Kanhai left the scene, Kallicharran and other Indos (like Baichan) became the target for lot of racial attacks!  It was dispicable the way some of the black players behaved and Lloyd was a real pussy...he did nothing to stop it. 

However, when Rohan was around they dared not say anything...they were all afraid of the Babu!!!!! 

Methink it was just sheer Ignorance ..

All black populated Islands that never saw an Indo , saw a Foreigner in the Dressing room.

TnT and Guyana were the only places accustomed to mixed race societies.
