I write to pay tribute to Arjune Karshan, longtime political activist who led the Association of Concerned Guyanese (ACG), NY branch, that is affiliated with the PPP, for many years.
Karshan served as Guyana’s Ambassador to Suriname, appointed by Dr. Jagan after the restoration of democracy, serving in the position for a decade.
I came to admire Karshan, Mel Carpen, and other ACG stalwarts for their zeal, enthusiasm, and commitment to the struggle for the restoration of democracy in the homeland.
Karshan championed the Guyanese cause the way few of us did, demonstrating grit and determined to succeed in the struggle to liberate Guyana from dictatorship.
Karshan’s contribution to the Guyana struggle has made him an icon of resistance against dictatorship and of the struggle for social justice in America and beyond.
