Fijian Affairs Board should be taken to task, for this disintegration of village protocol. Mixing politics and cultural platforms are the root causes of confusion in Fiji democracy. Whilst social mobility, constitutional rights are mere issues of convenience for Fijian politicians. Promising infrastructure development and ignoring knowledge empowerment. Those are the chains of political illiteracy which bind Fiji citizens in perpetual socio-cultural ignorance, handicapping them from the advancing.

Indian PM
IN the past few weeks we've been entertained by SDL's promises of unity, peace, more jobs and much higher wages. They have even claimed to have support from members of a Christian church.
Yet the bold headline, "SDL says no to Indian PM" (ST 19/3) shows just what hypocrites a vast majority of so-called Christians are in this country, government included.
The Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase, once stated publicly that he was not a racist.
Then what does the SDL statement mean?
It is an outright rejection of people of a different race who have made Fiji their home?What is wrong with being an Indian? Are they not created by God and equal as others in the eyes of the Almighty?
The first commandment of God is being brushed aside for man's own selfishness. Jesus Christ himself assured his Apostles that the greatest commandment was to love ones neighbor, be they black, brown or white, Indian, Fijian or Chinese, Hindu, Buddhist or Christian.
It's time the Indian community put their support behind those who really care for them.
