Fijileaks: We will write in greater detail about Rabuka's 'bullsh*t spin on the word Vulagi. The word is as common as dalo to all of us who were born and grew up in Fiji. Whenever our Indo-Fijian relatives visited us for weddings or funerals, we always referred to them to our i-taukei neighbours and friends as 'oh, our vulagi families from Rakiraki, Levuka, Lautoka etc'. In other words, they were our guests or visitors. When in Opposition, Prasad was very quick to condemn the current Speaker and former SODELPA president Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu for calling NFP an Indo-Fijian VULAGI PARTY. "In the next five to ten years there was potential for an increase [in] the racial divide in the sense that the rural areas will be Fijian dominated, the urban areas will be Indian dominated. Fijians will be 'agra-based' [sic], more Indians will go into manufacturing, light industry and the import-export trade. We (Fijians) will be the retail outlet, the supermarket shoppers. This is a concern for me but I think we will have to live through it. My other hope is that the Indians will migrate. We tighten the controls, then Fiji is no longer attractive to the Indian settler as it has been over the last 120 years. Maybe they will slow down their immigration rate, probably increase their emigration rate, thereby having a natural decline in their numbers, to a level that would be manageable. Comments are closed.
