i was really scared when i heard this news because my grandmother is in Fiji but she is in Lautoka. I'm relieved!...


Diversity in the communityBy Rina
It is heartening to know that a constructive approach was taken on both sides. An underlying process that strikes me is the fact that now there are people of the wider "immigrant" communities, present and active in different spheres of social life, eg. playing golf and going for a drink to the local club. This gives a push to revisit, and examine the archaic the norms. A further question to think about is how diverse (ethno-cultural and physical ability) are the governing bodies of clubs, etc?...

To Francis LalBy Padmini Gaunder
This is my response to the comment by Francis Lal: I was in Fiji from 1966 but I started taking an interest in what is happening only from the 1970s. In the late 1970s, 1980s I started forming my opinions and felt strongly about many things that were happening. But when I expressed my views I was told I don't understand because I am not Fiji-born. So I did my research to find out if I am wrong. What I am writing is based on my research and it is history rather than politics....
