Trinidad National Hero,s you don’t Know.



Unable to find employment because of colour prejudice, Kumar returned to India. He wrote the Indian Imperial Police Entrance Examination and placed at the top of the list. In 1931 he joined the service and was soon promoted to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and received training in law. By his early twenties, he was in charge of security in the Punjab Legislative Council.

In 1935, Kumar ventured to Trinidad as the distributor of the first Indian film to be shown locally. Two years later he was employed as Assistant Engineer with the Works Department. Among his first responsibilities was the Wrightson Road Project. Though the prospect of building a road under swampy conditions was considered to be impossible, he planned, designed and constructed the dual carriageway in 1940.
