'I wonder why was he not made President of India for a second term' - K.J.S.Chatrath

RIP Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Sir.

I wonder why was he not made President of India for a second term?

Historical record of slavery comes from whites

While reading the review of a new book on slavery, ‘Revolution Without Borders: The Call to Liberty in the Atlantic World’ by Janet Polasky (Yale University Press) I came across a sentence which made me think about our ignorance of the real slavery. It says, “Slaves were not literate- the only ones in Guyana who could read and write was executed in 1796- so the historical record comes down from whites.”

This book describes the effect of revolution on the slaves and free men and women in the Americas and the Caribbean.
