00:22The uncertainty where there are whispers of conflicts of global powers right here in our midst
00:32between U.S., Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago in the midst of that.
00:39Dr. Soya Fatanga said it was commendable that despite the unstable climate, Hindus in Tobago still celebrate.
00:49And so you must be commendable. Commending because you chose to honor your sacred
00:56traditions. You chose to celebrate Diwali even with the uncertainty. You chose light and you chose peace.
