Blog: Your obedient servant, I remain!
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Monday 5th of March 2012 - 17:48:00]
This report is particularly in response to the publication of ‘Les enfants des singes’ by Danisha Sornum on two fronts: Independence of Mauritius and issue of Diego Garcia. The two are much intertwined both emotionally and historically. Its legacy continues to-date, especially when the lease of Diego Garcia given to the Americans by the British is due to terminate in 2016.

Blog: Somalia Conference - The Role of Mauritius
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Monday 27th of February 2012 - 15:20:00]
Almost a week ago, immediately after the Mahasivratri Festival, our Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam left for UK to attend the International Somalia Conference which was held on 23rd of February 2012. It is reported that he is due back home, to-morrow Monday 26th of February, at least a week after his visit. It has also been alleged that he was given a mere 3 minutes speech into the Conference with reference to the role of Mauritius in curbing piracy by the Somali militants in the Indian Ocean. The question arises, to what extent was it relevant for the Prime Minister himself to have gone to UK whilst the same could have been done by one of his delegates....
Blog: Homosexuality in the Island of Mauritius (Part B – Discussion)
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Sunday 31st of July 2011 - 23:24:00]
In this latter part of the paper I aim to briefly discuss the findings of the survey previously published on Part A. Given the nature of the findings, the main theme is to discuss societal attitudes towards homosexuality in Mauritius. Societal attitudes towards homosexuality, as a highly complex topic, is marred with a multitude of factors, such as the country’s law and politics, religion, culture, demography, socio-economic structures, personal values and beliefs and the like. It is within the context of some of these factors that the discussion has taken place....
Blog: Homosexuality in the Island of Mauritius (Part A – The Findings)
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Friday 22nd of July 2011 - 00:02:00]
This paper is divided into two parts. Part (A) explores the finding of a short survey while Part (B) discusses the findings as a follow up at a later date. This qualitative survey is based on the actual comments received from commentators about their views on homosexuality as they perceived in Mauritius. The comments were received in response to two articles publicised in June 2011 on a local newspaper by the headings of: (1) L’Etat de New York approve le mariage homosexuel and (2) Anger as Indian minister calls for homosexuality a ‘disease’....
Blog: Sexual Abuse in Today’s Mauritius
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Tuesday 12th of July 2011 - 22:59:00]
It is too well known as a matter of fact that there are frequent media reports of sexual abuse among specific age groups and people from all walks of life in Mauritius. This is more so to-day than ever before. Therefore, it has never been an issue more pressing than now to tackle this problem....
Blog: Tourists and Tourism in Mauritius
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Thursday 7th of July 2011 - 10:51:00]
One has to go only a few years back when Mauritius known as the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’ has been boasting itself as one of the best havens for tourists, coming from all over the world. Tourism has been booming and continues doing so to some extent till present day. But one wonders, for how long tourism is going to hold its well-earned reputation under the present climate of increasing crimes in Mauritius?...
Blog: Road Traffic Accidents In Mauritius
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Saturday 2nd of July 2011 - 13:23:00]
In a recent speech, Prime Minister N. Ramgoolam stated beside other safety measures that there is a ‘a general lack of control and sense of irresponsibility’ on the part of drivers and pedestrians which is resulting into an increased number of road traffic accidents. But what do we understand by this simple statement? In this short paper I wish to give a somewhat different version from individual as well as societal perspectives to what this may mean in terms of road usage....
Blog: School Attendances - Serious Concerns for Students, Parents and Secondary Schools
[Written by Jay Busgeet (Guest Author) on Thursday 30th of June 2011 - 16:40:00]
According to an article published yesterday 29th of June, 2011 the Ministry of Education, headed by Mr Vasant Banwaree, introduced a recommendation stating that any student failing to attend less than 80% of their course/class contacts in their preparatory year(s) will not be allowed to take their SC/HSC exams. While this may well be good intentioned I shall not endorse this as a right course of action to promote attendances, as an educator....

Ever since the recent announcement of the National Policing Strategic National framework (NPSF) there has been much debate both in the media and public at large about the seven pledges police has set out as a new way of policing in Mauritius....
