Guyana

This afternoon I had bumped in to charismatic Stephen Sakur's 'Hardtalk' on BBC News Channel.  Usually the programme consists of an interview. But this time, it was different. It was like viewing a travel show. 

It featured developmental issues in the country as well as an interview with Mr Mohammed Irfan Ali, the country's young President. 

Guyana has a very sizable population (40%) of Indian (Bhaarath) ancestry. 

Let me share the programme.
