Celebrating the 170th Anniversary of Indian Arrival in British Guiana

Indian Women planting Bia


I saw Indian women planting biah in mud under hot scorching tropical sun, their sweat running down their faces. The determination on their faces.... these are the hands that fed us.

between 1940-1950s guyana. These will run emotions high and am glad to post them here for all to share with thier children.

Who can forget these days, my father who is now 81 always talk about ploughing with steers and going to the movies in donkey carts.

Ghal you are smart but i will tell you another Janam. Enjoy memory lane> am lucky to have witnessed the planting of biahs but i did not see steers ploughing. That was gone in my time. I am familiar with the jewelery that they women wore in frame # 1.

Acutally, meh Aajee had one of those nose rings too. Sweet memories.

Thanks for sharing these pics, Jhansher.

I have a nose ring just like that from my nani. I'm saving it as an heirloom. She talked to her last days about planting rice.

post more guys
