Europeans colonialists propagated the idea of separate identities for the Indians of the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka as being distinct from the so-called Indios of the Americas. I believe I had an intuitive awareness of our similarities when in high school, the college, in London, I found friendship with Indians from India and Sri Lanka with whom I fraternized more easily than with the Kush*te or Africanoid diasporans from the Caribbean who were then known as West Indians. At one Time period, my bestie school friend was a Punjabi Indian whose mother was resident in London and who doted on me as her young friend whenever I visited their home after sessions of cricket practice at Hurlingham Cricket School in Fulham. While studying Medicine at Norwood College, most of my friends turned out to be Indians from the then British Guyana, or South Africa. In fact it was a male South African Indian friend who became my advocate for becoming the group representative on the Norwood College Student's Union Council for the batch of students to which I belo ged. This subsequently lead to my being elected to the Presidency of the then biggest college S.U. in London at the tender age of almost 17years.
Overtime, I came to research the Indian Culture and was introduced to meditation by a Maharishi Yogi group visiting University College London, and later in Time a student of Krishna Consciousness to which I was somehow 'called'. Explorations of the Vedic literature that I was given and devoured as a voracious reader lead me to the Krishna.org website, the Bhagavad Gita as it is by Srila Prabhupada, a nodding acquaintance with the Srimad Bhagavatam, as so much more that may not be told by me.
