Perhaps you missed the point of this Fijian coup. When the British left the land belonged to the natives. Their right to the land was embedded in their constitution. It became apparent that east Indians would have a majority in parliament allowing them to change the constitution to permit the land to be sold to non natives. General Rabooka and his son led the protest. Now you know the rest of the story.,.

NO! I did not miss the point.

The point is that the iTaukei were misled into thinking that their ownership of the land was at risk. It would have taken more than a simple majority in parliament to change the constitution.

Well they seemed to be able to apply that impression for some time. The South Asians are an ambitious lot and I suspect they might now own a great deal of land. Such is case with many countries aboriginals.

I would not zero in on South Asians. Every group of people has stolen from other groups when possible. You may know of exceptions, but I cannot think of any. I would like to think that that is in the past, but it is not. The indigenous people of the Amazon are still having land stolen from them, and not buy Asians. But in the case of Fiji, I think that it would have been less likely to occur.

Just a heads up.

Trolling is not allowed. Trolling covers a vast array of behaviour but mainly revolves around members who consistently post in a manner which they know will upset others, members who insist on going off topic to serve their own agenda (which has nothing to do with the topic at hand). This also includes excessive and pointless “bumping”.
