Goanet meets in Goa: December 27, 12 noon and January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala
Academy canteen). See you there!
------------------------------
Radhakrishnan Nair finally picked up enough courage to
start the sorry process of saying a half-sorry to JC.
He wrote the following [Dr Jose Colaco of Nassau avers
that he has no connection whatsoever with
Bernado Colaco, with whom I had a spat on this
forum(GoaNet). I, therefore, apologise to Dr Jose
Colaco for insinuating that both are the same person.
I do not, HOWEVER, retract any of my comments on this
forum]
Dear Radhakrishnan,
I was wondering when you were going to prove that you
were a Radhakrishnan as opposed to just a Radha!
Please note that you also wrote the following on
GoaNet [How come you (Vivek) in Uganda share the same
ISP with the other crackpot Colaco, who's supposed to
be in Nassau?]
So here remain the questions which need answers before
your APOLOGY can be accepted:
1. On WHAT BASIS did Radhakrishnan Nair, the former
Goa based JOURNO make the charge that JC and whoever
Vivek is, shared the same ISP ? or that JC is the same
as Bernado Colaco (whoever Bernado is & wherever
he/she writes from). DEFINITELY NOT from this side of
the world!!
2. Why such a delay in apologizing to JC? Were you
checking? If you did, WHAT did you find out? Did you
check B4 you made those charges - TWICE? Did someone
else's post make you wonder if JC and Ole-Xac are the
same person?
It would be interesting for me to learn your thought
process. EVEN IF you might not have the "Time or the
Inclination" to think twice about your unwarranted
abuse of others.
Please note that JC is NOT a journo BUT is known to
persist UNTIL an answer is found - even if JC has to
write to someone's employer. Remember now, JC has no
emotional loyalties towards non-Goans who wrongly
abuse Goans.
Trust Me!
sincerely
jose colaco

[Remember me -- the court jester?]
Dear RN
JC: Please understand that I did NOT call you a "court
jester"
--
RN: [I just visited your sites and was impressed by
what I saw. Just wanted to commend you for the
painstaking efforts on your part (though I'm not sure
how high you would value a good word from me!)]
JC: I value your encouragement as much as I value your
criticism. Just because I stand up to criticism does
NOT mean that I do NOT value it.
--
RN: [Congratulations, anyway! You really have taste
and your heart and head are in the right places.]
JC: I agree with you on that one (;-)
--
RN: [Only I can't comprehend your obsession with the
Portuguese. They are gone for good, aren't they? Why
lose sleep over an inaccuracy committed here and there
by an ignorant journo?]
JC: Please understand where I come from.
I belong to a family which OPPOSED the dictatorship of
Salazar. So.....does my wife!
and who did we find IN CHARGE of Goa? Those who
SUPPORTED Salazar.
If you do not believe.....check out the backgrounds of
Bandodkar, Chougulo, Dempo etc!
I have zero obsession with the Portuguese Government
of Salazar. I am a product of my experiences:
* born in Poona - observing subtle & not so subtle
oppression of Goan Catholics by the Hindu Maha Sabha
* studied in Goa - observing the overt corruption of
the Bandodkar Government .....from very close quarters
* lived in Goa - hearing the speeches of Bal Thackarey
exhorting Goans to get rid of ALL South Indians.
* lived and studied in the West Indies where THEY
accept their PAST (slavery, slave master heritage etc)
for what it is.....Is better for Peace ( Read my posts
again.....that is my firm belief.....Don't pretend
that the Portuguese did NOT exist in Goa)
* lived and studied in England and saw Racism (Indian
towards West Indian)
* returned to The Bahamas - and saw Indian Racism
towards Bahamian blacks, Punjabi discrimination
against Malyalis, and ALSO towards Indians of "coolie"
heritage
* studied in Ireland - and saw the senseless situation
in the North --- close up AS WELL AS the sense of
freedom & friendship, which our children and we
experienced in Southern Ireland.
* Visited Portugal 1999 and was absolutelt delighted
at the change the Portuguese have made towards life. I
hope you know that the LARGEST Hindu temple (funded by
the Portuguese Govt) in Europe is in Lisbon. Also saw
the development of Islamic art museums in Lisbon + the
freedom with which Indian women in salwars walk around
in Lisbon!
* I am appalled at seeing that FILTH which has
overcome Goa, esp my old alma mater GMC!
That is a disgrace! You think I can lead a team of my
colleagues on a visit there?
AND .......who takes the cake for this.
There are other issue.....like
* the lies to Invade Goa
* Dabolim
* The Beaches
* the Posts in Goa Govt
* Anjediva
* Land Conversion
* Money swiping and
* this BJP ( the reason why the anti-Portuguese
stuff will NOT stop)
It is not the bit about it being anti-Portuguese that
incenses me, as much as IT being used as a
DIVERSIONARY COVER
good wishes
jc
PS; Thanks for you e-note. Let me hear your side now
--
RN: [Believe me, Dr Colaco, there's no
Portuguese-bashing over here as you imagine. As far as
we're concerned, it's a closed chapter.]
JC: Trust me.....it ain't over yet.
--
RN: [Please judge us a bit more leniently!]
JC: I will judge you - as I see you. And I could still
be wrong. If you show me where I am wrong, I will be
happy to stand corrected
jc
