this is the 1st time ah seeing so much people watching any funeral, not ah 5 mins then it off , like watching.

Anil Bheem's funeral was averaging 20,000+ live viewers.
I didn't see that much on Panday's up to when I stopped watching (albeit that was around 10am so not sure how viwership went up after)

there is multiple live streams: TTT, Dass Funeral and another 1 i think.

Basdeo was streamed on more platforms so you wouldn’t be able to get an accurate count.
TTT and CNN3 each had livestreams but also they are mainstream media so legacy TV would be showing it. Basdeo was more viewers by far

Not a Hindu but is there a new way of building pyres ? This one looks so neat compared to what I remember as a child

[maj. tom]

Well it was a State Funeral. So I guess they make it look nice with finished lumber. Normally they use rough wood but the housing container for the body is about the same. At the end of the day everything is ash and gone back to the earthly elements from where we all came, and no physical monument remains for attachment of emotional lingering of family and friends. It done and gone. Next day they throw the ashes and flowers into the flowing river/sea to continue to the cycle of life on Earth.

Oh ok. So it was just for this occasion most likely. I thought over the years an upgrade happened that I wasn’t aware of.

[Rovin]

its a 1st for me to see this type of pyre, looks neater instead of rough sawn lumber & not elaborate as there are as far more fancy ones shaped like a house etc ... it show humility by d family to not choose d most expensive 1 because d state paying for it attitude, well done .... 1 day we will all end up on 1 or in d ground

Side note for Muslims: While condolences are permissible, it is not permissible to attend the funeral of a non-Muslim, nor assist in burial unless there is no one else to bury him. It is also not permissible to pray for him after he passed.

Imaam An-Nawawi (rahimahullah) said: “The funeral prayer over the unbeliever; and supplicating for his forgiveness is forbidden by the text of Qur’an and by consensus (ijmaa’).” (Al-Majmu’ 5/144, 258)

I never knew Islam and Jehovah's Witnesses had things in common.

Even in death .... well I will leave it so.

[bluefete]

This was good for people who never leave their bubble, to see and experience.

A very good sendoff for Uncle Bas. The circle of life continues.

It was tactless but I feel sorry for her because she’s showing signs of mental illness, maybe dementia

I liked the man a great deal idiot... Seeing Bas there reminds me of my own father who passed away (rahimullah). However, while scrubbing the vid I noticed a man in a `topee` speaking. Turned on the volume to realize he's reciting the Quran at a non-Muslim funeral.

Least anyone thinks that's permissible, it's not.
I'd rather not make a bigger deal of it if you don't mind.

It is what it is. We don't fear the blame of the blamers.
If you're not a Muslim, it wasn't meant for you anyway.

That's alright. It's no competition or else you'll be very upset when our Political Mandingo kicks the bucket.

Rohan around big boy contractors everyday so he got to have something unique to fit in.
He needs to feel special hence the reason for his ride.

frank let me just thank you for this post. It was educational and I would not have been aware previously. I might have thought persons would not have attended due to some personal reason, and not even think there would have been a religious restriction.

You see this dialog we have, it is good. It builds understanding between people. Don't censor yourself become some kiddos on here can't handle that people have different beliefs than them.

so he coming back as a lion or what?

Don't know if anyone noticed but at the introduction of the eulogy, Mickela acknowledged everyone's name and their positions except guess who...

Introduction
Your Excellency President Kangaloo, thank you for that most wonderful tribute.
Mr. Kerwyn Garcia, Senior Counsel (President Husband),
Honourable Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Christopher Rowley, and Mrs. Sharon Rowley,
Honourable Chief Justice (Ivor) and Mrs. Archie,
Honourable Leader of the Opposition..............
Members of Parliament,
Distinguished guests,
Members of our protective services,
Sisters and brothers, both here and abroad,
Good morning.

[pugboy]

the bitterness is real

[K74T]

No issue there

[j.o.e]

I think this situation has endeared the public to Mickela and not in the short term but someday she can become a force. I wish her well because I always liked her. Maybe we can have a Panday /Manning (the offspring) showdown again.

[MaxPower]

No issue there

Exactly
