[Goanet] APPOINT NON-PARTISAN GOVERNORS
Guidelines need to be formulated as to who can be appointed as Governor of the State to ensure that the High office is not open to political misuse. There should be a consensus amongst all political parties that only persons with proven skills of governance and administrative acumen be posted as Governors. Proficient retired Judges, competent officers of the various Administrative Services and armed forces amongst others could be considered to do justice to the Governor's role. It is time that all Governors stop acting as rubber stamps and play a vibrant role in contributing ideas with a vision to cure India's ills. A Governor's post should not be a retirement posting for the aged and ailing political party loyalists at the taxpayer's expense. There should be no room for partisan Governors and the Raj Bhavan should never be used as a venue to emanate the ideology, mission or agenda of any political party. Former Chief Ministers, former Union Ministers and leaders of political parties should never make it to the Raj Bhavan as they are bound to carry the political stink and aroma to that high position where the incumbent is infact supposed to be truly non partisan and uphold the constitutional provisions. Currently we have just a few eminent Governors including Mr. Bharat Vir Wanchoo, a very people friendly distinguished and resourceful person with no political roots or stench as the Governor of Goa.

[Goanet] Goa: Facebook user faces jail term for anti-Modi comments
Sign of things to come? Goa: Facebook user faces jail term for anti-Modi comments by Mayabhushan Nagvenkar May 23, 2014 08:53 IST #BJP #Devu Chodankar #facebook #Goa #India #Lok Sabha #Narendra Modi Panaji: Before Narendra Modi is sworn in as prime minister on 26 May, a young shipbuilding professional may well be behind bars, for slamming the now former Gujarat chief minister on Facebook during the Lok Sabha election campaign. A trial court on Thursday rejected the anticipatory bail application moved by Devu Chodankar, a shipbuilding diploma holder working in Mumbai, clearing the way for his possible arrest, even as the police want to probe if Chodankar had broader plans to promote communal and social disharmony in Goa. During the run up to the Lok Sabha polls, Chodankar, in a post on Goa+, a popular forum with over 47,000 members, had claimed that if elected to power, Modi would unleash a 'holocaust'. He deleted his post subsequently. However, justifying his post subsequently on another popular local Facebook forum, Goa Speaks, Chodankar while apologising for his choice of words had stood by the sum of his argument, calling it his crusade against the tyranny of fascists. He also claimed that some elitist right wing elements were in the process of filing a first information report with the Goa Police's Cyber Cell. The police came into the picture when former chairman of the Confederation of Indian Industries Atul Pai Kane filed an FIR against him in March this year under sections 153(A), 295(A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 125 of the People's Representation Act and 66-A of the Information Technology Act. Some of the sections are non-bailable in nature. Kane in his complaint said Chodandkar had threatened Facebook users from voting for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls. Opposition parties at that time had protested the FIR calling it an attempt by the BJP to muzzle criticism. The complaint is against Devu for making inflammatory statements and trying to create communal disharmony, not comments against the BJP, Kane had explained in his online post. Police, in their plea filed before the District and Sessions judge, more than agreed with Kane and now want custodial interrogation of Chodankar for recovery of cyber forensic evidence at his instance and the motive of the crime. Critically, police inspector Rajesh Job of the Cyber Cell in his say claims: Custodial interrogation of the accused is very much essential to find out any motive of a larger game plan to promote communal and social disharmony in the state. Job claims that the delay in response by the Facebook legal cell forced the investigating police to resort to alternate means to confirm Chodankar's identity. Subsequently, two summons have already been issued to Chodankar. Facebook is still abuzz with comments on the incident. Writes Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mumbai alumnus Dr Samir Kelekar, who has been campaigning to drop police action against Devu for his post. No one is justifying what Devu wrote, but it is draconian to put someone behind bars for a mere FB post which has had no affect on the society-at-large, he says. Chodankar's legal counsel Jatin Naik says the next step would be approach the High Court for relief.

[Goanet] Remembering a Goan Patriot
100 years: Remembering a Goan Patriot by Eng. A. X. Esmeraldo Gomes He would be a hundred were he alive today. He donned the military uniform and served his country, in war and in peace. He was a true patriot. He also loved his native soil. But for him, and a few others like him, Goa would today be a taluk of Maharashtra. Dr. Alvaro de Loyola Furtado was no doubt born to privilege. He was third of four children born to the distinguished Dr. Miguel de Loyola Furtado, on 23 May 1914. Dr. Miguel was the first Loyola-Furtado of the Furtados of Chinchinim, who married Maria Julieta de Loyola of Orlim, niece of Dr. Jose Inacio de Loyola, a giant political figure of the times. Of Dr. Miguel's brood, the eldest was Leonor who went on to become India's first woman editor while the youngest, Raul, was a US-Canada based writer-author. Dr. Alvaro graduated from the Madras Medical College in 1941. He joined the Indian Army Medical Corps during World War II and, under the Southeast Asia Command, served four years in Nira and Chittagong in Bengal. He was awarded the Burma Campaign Medal, the Long Service Medal and the War Medal. After the war, he returned to Goa where he practiced medicine. In the run up to the first Goa Assembly elections in 1963, with the looming threat of Goa being merged into Maharashtra as propounded by the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, he plunged into politics and became the first President of the United Goans Party. He was the first elected MLA from Navelim Constituency. Well read, he proved to be one of the most erudite and a formidable legislator in what is widely regarded as Goa's best Legislative Assembly ever. He fought bravely to safeguard the independent identity of Goa. The official demand of the United Goans Party for the Opinion Poll had been Merger v/s Statehood. When some UGP leaders toned down the demand to Merger v/s status quo (Union Territory status) without party consultations, Dr. Alvaro and some like-minded MLAs broke away from the party. But, they campaigned against the merger of Goa into Maharashtra long and hard. Dr Alvaro even went a step further. He filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court as a precautionary measure in case the Opinion Poll verdict went in favour of merger. Such was his love for Goa. His high fidelity to his patients in search of cure was known to all even at times foregoing his food and daily needs for the patient was his priority. In his remembrance an award for a student qualifying for the medical profession from Chinchinim village has been justly instituted to remember his human qualities of service and of human bondage. In acknowledgement the people of Chinchinim have respectfully named the main road from St. Sebastian's Chapel, Chinchinim, to the Assolna bridge in his honour. On his 100th birth anniversary, we remember with gratitude one of those sons of the soil to whom Goa not only owes her separate political identity today but also deeds signifying his qualities of heart and intellect. Dr. Alvaro died with his boots on.
[Goanet] SRIPAD NAIK NOT IN THE MODI CABINET?
*Now post your Classifieds Advertisements on our website www.navhindclassifieds.com http://www.navhindclassifieds.com/* Dear HON. CM MANOHAR PARRIKAR. BEST JOB DONE BY MODI GOVT FOR NOT INCLUDING GOA MP SRIPAD NAIK INTO THE CABINET. THE REASON THAT EARLIER SRIPAD NAIK DID NOTHING FOR GOA LET HIM HAVE TIME TO ASSESS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY. HE MAY TAKE DECISION DURING THE EXPANSION OF CABINET IN FUTURE. PARRIKAR COULD BE A RIGHT CHOICE. STEPHEN DIAS D.APAULA Home http://www.navhindtimes.in/ » Goa won’t find place in Modi cabinet, for now Goa won’t find place in Modi cabinet, for now Published on: May 23, 2014 - 01:38 More in: - Goa News http://www.navhindtimes.in/category/stories/news/goa-news PANAJI: With Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar not keen to be part of Narendra Modi’s ‘dream team’, and the Prime Minister-designate not willing to include the North Goa MP Shripad Naik in his maiden cabinet, it is now clear that Goa will not get any representation in the central government, at least until the expansion of the Union cabinet. Amidst speculations as to whether Modi, in his cabinet will give a major representation to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar where the Bharatiya Janata Party has made a huge dent, or Modi will not hurt National Democratic Alliance partners like Shiv Sena and Telugu Desam Party by keeping them away from his ‘dream team’, one thing is certain, and that is the capability and experience criteria deciding the future members of the Union cabinet. As per highly placed sources, Modi has made it clear to the party leadership that his cabinet will not be a jumbo cabinet, and would include choicest people, who have already proved their mettle in some way or the other; may be as former Union ministers, or as able goa: P11 goa: functionaries of the party. Modi is also keen to have performance-oriented individuals in his cabinet, as he wants to come out with quick results during the earlier part of his regime. The North Goa MP, who along with the Goa BJP delegation led by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar recently met the Prime Minister-designate, received a clear indication that he will not be part of the maiden Modi cabinet, and could have to wait till the cabinet expansion for his inclusion in the same. Naik, presently camping in Delhi has expressed ignorance about his inclusion in the Modi cabinet. “I did meet Modiji along with the Goan delegation, but did not get an opportunity to speak to him independently on any subject,” he added, pointing out that till now, he has received no information about his inclusion in the Union cabinet. The Prime Minister-designate and his maiden cabinet are all set to be sworn in by President Pranab Mukherjee on May 26. Naik said that he has hopes about his inclusion in Modi’s ‘dream team’, further adding, “However, I cannot make it a compulsion, as Union cabinet formation is the prerogative of the Prime Minister.” The North Goa MP is desirous of portfolios such as mining, environment and forests or tourism, if he is included in the central cabinet, for any of these portfolios in particular would help him in the development of Goa. Interestingly, Parrikar who was lobbying for a ministerial berth for Naik in the Union cabinet, soon after calling on Modi at Gujarat Bhavan in New Delhi, on May 20 said, “The cabinet should be of the Prime Minister’s choice and if you are going to hold someone responsible for their action

Re: [Goanet] Arrey, you have to learn Konklish, men!
FN: *Bosla* or *boslai* isn't a question about your state of activity, or lack of it. It's simply a substitute for *hello* or *good morning* or *fine day*. Konkani, is a s a contextual language as still spoke, and certainly was spoken by those who really think in it/or are able to think in it. It employs contextual orientation; social parameters come into play, stressing of certain words suggest thinking not realized when simple looking at a word, etc. In regarding the word boslai there is a consciousness (still not quite dissipated today), an awareness directed on part of the observer towards the object. Let us say there is a woman who is of some means, brought in a lot of dowry, properties, the family is known to eat fish daily: essentially very comfortable. Now that woman is seen differently by those belonging to various strata of society. Her sitting in the balcao and the hark that is boslai essentially amounts to (and not the same by all and sundry) that she has taken care of the providing for her family and brood. The fish has been bought: this family can afford to go to the market and pay a higher price; the house has been swept, etc., etc., etc. A few things play out now. 01. One may imagine seeing you seated at this hour of the day as in chillin/being relaxed. Tokler bar nam (or not much weight/stress). Its could suggest something else at some other time, and does not need to be thought about. Then its a filler, and even consonant with interjected sounds. 02. Its awesome (to see you so). To mean people like you have the good life. You are together, etc. 03. I am pleased to see (assigning context, etc.) that all seems well. ...and so forth. I grew up on such scenarios at home and in every trip to Goa being that my grand uncle was a very aware priest who knew his languages (at least I believe so). Thoughts on the contextual aspects have been raised earlier on Goanet: Goanet Reader: Kitem? Bazarant vetam? Boslai?

The police came into the picture when former chairman of the Confederation of Indian Industries Atul Pai Kane filed an FIR against him in March this year under sections 153(A), 295(A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 125 of the People's Representation Act and 66-A of the Information Technology Act. Some of the sections are non-bailable in nature. Kane in his complaint said Chodandkar had threatened Facebook users from voting for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls. Opposition parties at that time had protested the FIR calling it an attempt by the BJP to muzzle criticism. The complaint is against Devu for making inflammatory statements and trying to create communal disharmony, not comments against the BJP, Kane had explained in his online post. Police, in their plea filed before the District and Sessions judge, more than agreed with Kane and now want custodial interrogation of Chodankar for recovery of cyber forensic evidence at his instance and the motive of the crime. Critically, police inspector Rajesh Job of the Cyber Cell in his say claims: Custodial interrogation of the accused is very much essential to find out any motive of a larger game plan to promote communal and social disharmony in the state. Job claims that the delay in response by the Facebook legal cell forced the investigating police to resort to alternate means to confirm Chodankar's identity. Subsequently, two summons have already been issued to Chodankar. Facebook is still abuzz with comments on the incident. Writes Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mumbai alumnus Dr Samir Kelekar, who has been campaigning to drop police action against Devu for his post. No one is justifying what Devu wrote, but it is draconian to put someone behind bars for a mere FB post which has had no affect on the society-at-large, he says. Chodankar's legal counsel Jatin Naik says the next step would be approach the High Court for relief.

[Goanet] CURBING FREEDOM OF SPEECH
The gross misuse of the Goa police machinery to unduly harass Devu Chodankar is deplorable and has to be strongly condemned. During the recent election campaign Devu just expressed his personal opinion on Narendra Modi through a post on face book. In a democracy freedom of speech and expression cannot be compromised. In the recent concluded Lok Sabha elections a lot of people including Narendra Modi said a lot of things and all this has to be laid to rest with the elections now over. The BJP should focus on fulfilling its promise of good governance and a better India rather than going in for cheap politics of revenge and retribution. Otherwise that promise of “Ache Din Aane Wale Hain may remain only a tall dream and a hollow promise unfulfilled.

Re: [Goanet] Arrey, you have to learn Konklish, men!
Oh language. Oh our minds. Another tangent. Here we have the word minority as reflected upon in Jordan. In Goa we took on too many foreign notions, and what we are is a direct result of many hurst and rejections: intra and infra. Heck even ultra! A few of us could write on what we lost, but kept thinking we were gaining. But others may think on such matters. The onslaughts that beset us is the process of dilution of what was not quite, but could have been. *From, * *Pope Francis' Holy Land Visit: Spotlight on Christians in Jordan * *http://time.com/110595/pope-francis-holy-land-visit-spotlight-on-christians-in-jordan/ http://time.com/110595/pope-francis-holy-land-visit-spotlight-on-christians-in-jordan/* *1) **Christians are not a minority. *Though Christians make up between 3-6% of Jordan's population, Muslims and Christians alike reject the term 'minority' to describe the community. In Arabic, the word does not simply connote 'a smaller number' but 'a lesser value,' and while Christians are clearly smaller in number than Muslims here, they have been historically viewed as an integral, inseparable part of society. According to Wafa Goussous of the Middle East Council of Churches, before the 1970s no one used the word 'minority' to describe Christians. To consciously identify a person based on his religion was a foreign concept in an Arab culture where Christianity and Islam were both unquestioned components. + + + vjp
Re: [Goanet] Fwd: 'AMCHI BHAS:1' ROMI KONKNNI PRIMER FOR FIRST STANDARD
Hansun Khelun (Xinkum - ia) I recollect the above being: Hanson, Khelon, Xinkom-ia? Has the phonetics: phonemes changed, to reflect orthographically, from what I recollect earlier Hanson, Khelon, Xinkom-ia? 02. Does this have to do with euphony? Is it a variant of the present continuous. 03. Have I got it all WRONG? I guess one could also render it as: Hansot, Khelot, Xincot/(Xinkot-ia)/Xinco-ia Some design comments respectfully: 01. Design wise no need for the space before and after the hyphen: Xinkum - ia. 02. The extrusion of the typeface, (ITC) Eras if I am not mistaken does not add anything. If at all it would have helped to see through the counter spaces. 03. Fr, Naik's name did not have to be lost on the Banastari! + + + Venantius J Pinto
Re: [Goanet] Arrey, you have to learn Konklish, men!
People if you get a chance/or the access, look at the film, The Lady with the Five Elephants. In it Svetlana Dreier, a translator commissioned to translate five books (Five elephants) of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, talks about how while translating one must look at the whole, and even the reading must not merely begin top left moving towards bottom right, but as a whole. Also that in some languages one cannot say certain things as said in another language. So one approaches those situations uniquely. Best. Venantius
