[Goanet] IT IS R.I.P FOR GSPCA
In response to the huge volume of complaints against the police and the endemic lack of accountability, the creation of a dedicated Police Complaints Authority was directed by the Supreme Court in 2006. The intention behind setting up the Police Complaints Authority was to ensure that a local mechanism specialized in handling a wide ambit of complaints against the police, including the most serious, was readily available to the public at large. As in other states such an Authority as per the Supreme Court directive was set up in Goa too. The high-handed interference by the Goa Government in the working of the Goa State Police Complaints Authority (GSPCA) is deplorable. By a recent order issued by the Government to the Goa State Police Complaints Authority besides other directives it has been stated that the GSPCA should entertain only complaints against officers of the rank of Superintendent of Police and above. Besides the GSPCA has been restrained from taking Suo Motu cognizance of any police atrocity. This is a direct meddling in the affairs of an authority the Supreme Court had envisaged should be free from government interference. Is it not an irong that a Police Officer can suo-motu registered an F.I.R as we have seen in the infamous Tarun Tejpal case and now against the Ranes, but the government has clipped the wings of the GSPCA which is headed by a retired High Court Judge. As most complaints of police misconduct are against Police Inspectors and subordinate staff, with this order issued by the Government the working of the Goa Police Complaints Authority has practically wound up. The Goa State Police Complaints Authority as mandated by the Supreme Court is headed by a retired High Court Judge and the government has no business to chart the agenda of the Authority. The Supreme Court in a bid to reform the working of the police had directed all states to have a State Police Complaints authority to look into complaints against officers of the rank of Superintendent of Police and above, while a District Authority to probe complaints against other low rank officers. In view of Goa being a very small state the Supreme Court on a plea by the Goa Government had allowed the State to have only one State Police Complaint Authority to deal with complaints against all police personnel instead of an additional one at the District level. Any deviation from that undertaking had to be done with the consent of the Supreme Court. Would write to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court pointing out to this gross interference by the Goa Government in the administration of justice. There was infact need to strengthen the State Police Complaints Authority making it an accessible, independent and an effective police supervisory body that the Supreme Court had intended. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has kept Goa without a Lokayukta and paralyzed the working of the Information Commission. One wonders whether now after the Police Complaints Authority the Chief Minister’s next target would be to wind up the Human Rights Commission.

Re: [Goanet] ARE WE CHRISTIANS OR HINDUS IN INDIA SECULAR COUNTRY?
There certainly are atheistic religions such as some of the prominent sects of Buddhism and Jainism. But the claim below that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Atheism is a religion is false. All that that court has done is recognized that atheism is equivalent to a 'religion' for purposes of the First Amendment, and rightfully so. Those who do not have a religious belief should get the same protection under the constitution as those who have such a belief. Here is a statement from one such U. S. Supreme Court ruling: QUOTE At one time it was thought that this right [referring to the right to choose one’s own creed] merely proscribed the preference of one Christian sect over another, but would not require equal respect for the conscience of the infidel, the atheist, or the adherent of a non-Christian faith such as Islam or Judaism. But when the underlying principle has been examined in the crucible of litigation, the Court has unambiguously concluded that the individual freedom of conscience protected by the First Amendment embraces the right to select any religious faith or none at all. UNQUOTE U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38 (1985) Please note the phrase: First Amendment embraces the right to select any religious faith or none at all. None at all cannot be deemed to be a religious faith by any stretch of the imagination when it is contrasted with religious faith itself by the court.

[Goanet] The last Kadamba King

Combining known history and Mr.Venkatesh Upadyaya:
Kama Deva (1260-1310) was the son of Lakshmi Deva II the ruler of the Ratta
Dynasty of Saundatti/Belgaum and was the son-in-Law of Goa Kadamba King
Tribhuvanamalla (1216-1238) and brother-in-Law of Shasthadeva III
(1246-1260).
Tribhuvanamalla lost his kingdom to Yadavas of Deogiri in 1238 and his son
and successor Shashtadeva III could only regain his kingdom in 1246 with
the help of his brother-in-Law, Ratta Kamadeva. (According to George Mark
Moraes, who says in his book 'The Kadamba Kula: A History of Ancient and
Mediaeval Karnataka' that after the death of Yadava king Singhana II in
1245, Lakshmideva II took advantage of the change of rulers and reasserted
his independence. Having done so, the Rattas perhaps helped their relatives
in Goa in recovering lost territories. This is probably what an inscription
means when it describes Kama Deva as the 'establisher' of Shashta as king
in Goa). Shasthadeva III died issueless and Kamadeva took over as ruler of
Goa in A.D.1260. After the death of Kamadeva in 1310, one of his sons or a
near relative ruled from 1311 until 1328.
The next ruler must have been Biradeva who must have ruled from 1238 until
1340/44. At this time, there must have been a family feud between Biradeva
and his son Suriyadeva as Arab Traveller Ibn Batuta says that in a feud
between 'father and son,' the son invited Nawab Djmal-ud-din of Honnavar to
invade Goa in 1344. Suriyadeva ruled only for about 3 months and was killed
in the skirmish in 1345. According to Mr.Venkatesha Upadhayaya, a Kannada
stone inscription from Hangal says the only royal family member who
survived the 1345 Mohammedan attack was the young Queen of Goa
Veenomai-Devi as she was sent away to her father's (Purandara Raya Deva)
place in Hangal in observance of religious mourning period due to the death
of her father in law (Beera Deva) 3 months earlier.
Hence, this is not about Biradeva, but Purandara Raya Deva, ruler of
Hangal. According to Mr.Venkatesha Upadhayaya, Veenomai-Devi died in
AD.1396. Usually the memorial stones denote Salivahana Saka and one has to
add 78 to arrive at Roman calendar date.
The ancestors of the late Roqiue Santana, a resident of Velim were employed
as 'sarva karyakarta' (chief secretary) a hereditary appointment up to the
time when Governor of Madras presidency George Harris under Lord Dalhousie
administration confiscated the Haliyal Timber and Construction Lime Co.
goods of Roqiue Santan's greatgrand father in Nov of 1855. The Velimpura
family's ancestors had given up worship in their temples for fear of
Muslims as Goa was under Muslim rule and 'reinvented' themselves as Haliyal
timber lords. These 'timber lords' were converted by Orthodox Nasranis of
Malabar in early1400s. Sea pirate Timoja provided them protection in return
for timber for his ship building needs.
In 1347 Purandararaya fled from the invading army of Vichana, the commander
of Yadava king Singhana II and secretly traveled over night to join his
daughter who herself took shelter in safer Jayakeshi Velimpura compound in
1345 when her husband was assassinated by Mohammedans at present day
Chandor. Purandara Raya Deva died there in A.D.1368 and was cremated at
Velimpura.
Mr. Upadhiya claims 'Historians hold that Haliyal yard was basically Goa
('s then) ruling Reigns (king's) Armoury' and pilgrims are the descendants
of the (Velimpura) family's Haliyal compound work force, who visit Velim to
pay their respect to the late Purandarai, ruler of Hangal and were welcomed
earlier. The issue is 'pilgrim' access to the site.
Below is the new article in total: (lot of history involved, worth
researching)
Velim, 11 kilometers from Margao, South Goa. Dec. 21st 2013. Mr.Venkatesha
A. Upadhiaya today submitted a memorandum to the President of India
Mr.Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh and Mr. Pravin
Srivastava of Archeological Survey of India ASI, demanded to immediately to
acquire and save the 12th century, Kadamba Jayakeshi Southern Capital

Hangal located in present day Velim, South Goa a place of National Interest
from the possession of Mrs Ana Emerita, widow of a great Goan, late Roqiue
Santana charging her for constructing on the scared grounds, denying access
by locking the compound gates and playing regional card with the pilgrims
from the neighboring villages of Karnataka who visit Velim once a year, a
centuries old practice and as part of the Banavasi festival celebrations to
pay their respect to the 1368AD Velimpura cremation ground of
Purandarai-Deva the ruler of Hangal.
Warning the locals who were present here today not to be silent spectators

[Goanet] ARE WE CHRISTIANS OR HINDUS IN INDIA SECULAR COUNTRY?
Santosh Helekar: Please note the phrase: First Amendment embraces the right to select any religious faith or none at all.? None at all cannot be deemed to be a religious faith by any stretch of the imagination when it is contrasted with religious faith itself by the court. Response: Santosh is entitled to his own interpretations and if it gives him satisfaction, I have no problem. It's no skin off my nose. However, the fact remains that those who profess atheism are as rigid and blinkered in their beliefs and have a closed mind to beliefs which do not fit into their world view. In the last couple of centuries, the greatest grief to mankind has been caused by those who professed atheism like Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. Closer home Veer Savarkar the founder of hindutva and Jinnah caused enough grief in this sub-continent. We have seen what the followers of hindutva are capable of doing in Gujarat, Kandhamal, Mangalore, Muzaffarnagar and elsewhere. With the coming to power of the BJP, hindutva forces have got fresh wings as is evident from the various incidents occurring in various parts of the country and the utterances of Dhavalikar, Laxman, Giriraj Singh, Togadia, Singhal et al. And in Santosh, who is a self- confessed atheist, we have witnessed his defence/ justification of the rapes, killings and destruction of property of innocent people in Kandhamal. So much for atheism and atheists. Regards, Marshall

[Goanet] Press Statement by GFDO
Press Statement by GFDO July 30, 2014 In a statement issued here today, Goans for Dabolim Only said that Pratapsing Rane had finally and formally admitted on the floor of the Assembly that his actions had given birth to the controversial dual airport problem that Goa faces today. Of course his devotion to the Mopa Airport is understandable given the fact that lands owned by him in that vicinity will greatly appreciate in value if Mopa Airport ever comes up. In fact, Rane of the Congress party seems to have been at the genesis of most of the problems plaguing Goa. It was he who was responsible for ushering the land grab scheme masquerading as SEZs into Goa. The people will recollect that they were compelled to rise and protest against this outrage, until the then Congress Chief Minister Digambar Kamat was responsive enough to remedy the damage done by his party colleague Rane and withdraw the SEZ policy for Goa. Besides the Mopa and SEZ imbroglio, Rane’s ‘destructive hand’ was also seen in the events leading to the Language Agitation that rocked Goa in the 1980s and the RP 2011 issue that brought Goans out into the streets in the year 2006. The people of Goa have not forgotten entirely that Rane in his MGP avatar, supported the merger of Goa with Maharashtra. The role played by him in the Language Agitation clearly demonstrated where his true loyalties lay. GFDO warned CM Parrikar not to take the people of Goa for granted and imagine that the BJP’s victory in the South Goa Lok Sabha elections was a referendum for Mopa. In fact, a reality check would reveal to him that the Congress was decimated in the recent elections, only because it was full of people like Pratapsing Rane who nurtured their private interests at a very high cost to the Congress party and the interests of Goa. GFDO also questioned how CM Parrikar who sat alongside Matanhy Saldanha and the GMAS protesting against SEZs at Panjim’s Ferry Wharf, can today declare his intention to set a seal of legitimacy on this alleged scam, by gifting 30% of the land to the same real estate lobbies posing as SEZ developers. In fact, one of the important planks on which the BJP won the Assembly elections was Parrikar’s promise to do away with casinos. By now of course, the people of Goa are well aware of his dismal track record for keeping his public promises. Regarding the Mopa issue, the CM went so far as to publicly declare that Matanhy Saldanha had changed his mind and understood the need for Mopa before his untimely demise, which compelled Matanhy’s wife Alina Saldanha, now a Minister in Parrikar’s cabinet, to come out with a public statement that she was not aware of this change of heart in Matanhy. Unfortunately for the people of Goa, Pratapsing Rane and Manohar Parrikar are two sides of the same coin. One comes up with the misguided and detrimental policies to Goa, the other perpetuates them and profits from them. However, one thing is certain in the minds of the people of Goa. Mopa is economically and ecologically unviable and will not be able to either generate or sustain capacity utilisation. Mopa Airport is an unrealistic, disastrous illusion harboured by Pratapsing Rane and Manohar Parrikar. History will prove this. For GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY Fr. Eremito Rebelo Convenor
