Anyway what fascinated I was how Jamaicans marginalized Indians and Chinese Jamaicans yet they found ways to thrive and progress.

I think instead of hiring all these consultants and engineers from outside of Jamaica we should study the Local Chinese and Indian Families.

Not new Pakistani Business persons or Han Chinese Wholesalers, but locals who were born and raised in Jamaica of the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Most of the Engineers in Jamaica are of Indian Descent, especially in the Bauxite and Farm Industry.
I think there is a Class System in Indian Families in Jamaica but I could not detect that in Jamaican Chinese culture <span style="font-style: italic">(even when they married outside)</span>.

I think we are wasting/have wasted our heritage and we needed to have caught the uniqueness and bottled it up a long time ago.

I have heard it is between those that came as coolies and those that came to immigrate. The Khemlanis and dem were neva coolies and look down upon di coolie descendants. I saw on one program about Hinduism that they have no dealings really wid each odder. Mi nuh really know if a true.

Well the guy I knew in school, his family repaired bauxite trucks.....so lets say Mechanical Engineers.
In the Sugar Industry, besides cutting the cane the all the factory Engineers that I knew of were Indians or they were the Supervisors. They even imported Engineers from India in the 90s when they needed replacements.

ok ..yes i can agree that sugar was dominated by Indians.

in the 90's were they importing indian engineers because of an agreement with india?
