The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union says that the messages implicit in Diwali are universal and apply to all Guyanese, although not everyone is a Hindu, and need not be.
The major sugar industry union in expressing happy Diwali greetings to all Hindus and all Guyanese wished that the light and divine energy of Lakshmi shine on all Guyanese and infuse them with the love to live, work and produce together.
