OBITUARY: By Helen Nalina Reddy, Jai Ram Reddy’s daughter“My FijiI offer a vision which sees this beloved land of ours united in its diversity, forged out of its adversity, and built on trust. Like many of their generation, my grandparents, Pethi and Yenkatamma Reddy were farming folk who wanted a better future for their children. They worked the field and saved with a view to sending their eldest son, Jai Ram, to study law in New Zealand. Further to his admission to the New Zealand bar, Dad returned to Fiji and enjoyed a long and illustrious career as a lawyer. As to his political life, Dad was initially a senator in the early 1970s before his election as Leader of the Opposition in 1977.
