[Goanet] Kitenge shirts?
Just a query... could anyone share the name of the colourful shirts from Africa and expats used to bring back to Goa in the 1960s and thereabouts? I thought it was kitenge, but can't find it online. (That seems to be a kind of cloth, and more used for dresses.) Thanks!

Dear Nelson, Can we agree to disagree, brother, but as you can see, it is an established fact by the word of God, and biblical truth, that prayers for the dead and purgatory is non-scriptural as well as non-biblical. This is an ancient ritual which due to the emotions of the people, had been inducted into our roman catholic church somewhere in 340 AD. Jesus himself if u search the scriptures clearly speaks about a heaven and a hell. Never speaks about any purgatory. To claim that one needs to give x number of indulgences to obtain graces as well as freedom from purgatory call Jesus blood sacrifice, death, resurrection as nothing. Remember it is also written, give freely the gospel as you receive freely. Its a sad fact of our roman catholic church. I hope I have been able to be of encouragement to you, in Christ's love.

How long do the souls continue to languish in purgatory? For many more years do we have to offer masses or the souls of our dear ones and others in purgatory ? Do we believe that they will languish indefinitely in this state? We believe that many souls go to purgatory, but much more enjoy the presence of God. Few faithful offer perpetual masses at different congregations, especially, those that are skeptic about being forgotten by their progeny and those that have no immediate family to remember them. The Church by traditions accepts masses for the souls of the dead on the day of burial, seven days, month , year, second and third year, After that period there is no preference offered by the church in accepting such prayers, and the second intentions no remuneration is accepted By the way at all daily masses and after very decade of Rosary, the dead are regularly remembered, Besides on all souls day in particular the souls in purgatory are being remembered and prayed for Is it correct position that when we offer masses in specific names ? n some Churches names of dead souls are not announced at all before the beginning of Eucharistic celebrations. Is not b advisable that the sacrifice of the mass is offered to the souls in purgatory in general? If every time when we participate in the Holy Eucharist can we not offer for such intention? The rosary and other structured and spontaneous prayers, sacrifices et can be not be offered for such intentions? Can we not offer regular charity to the needy and deserving with the same intentions? Do the souls in purgatory appear and request for hundred of masses for their deliverance? The mass stipend as we understand is only for the maintenance of the priest and no value can be attached to it I wish some can explain the length of time after the death the masses are to be offered in general .Is it guilt and fear of retribution that makes relatives resort to this practice out of guilt complex ? Many are of the firm belief that unless we pay the stipend it is not valid sacrifice .There are instances, when these paid mass offerings are not said for many years for one reason or other Can we not have faith in the merciful Lord to be just and fair.

Here is a very important secular issue on women's choice raised by Melinda Gates in the Times of India interview: QUOTE The Indian government is now putting out postcards on IUDs and training people on how to insert those in young women. Over time I'd like to see the Indian government offer injectibles or even implants. Injection is a better option if you want to wait 6-9 months, but IUD is better if you want to wait for 5 years. The idea is to let women decide what works for them. UNQUOTE ...Melinda Gates Most right-wing religious organizations are opposed to these practices, and letting women decide what works for them.

[Goanet] Dr. Jack de Sequeira model of Goan politics.
Also known as ‘United Goans Party’, Dr. Jack de Sequeira’smodel of Goan politics was rejected right from day one in Goa basically because it drew a line of divide between theCatholic and Hindus in Goa. Most historian areof the consensus opinion that his face tilted the balance and gave power inthe hands of wrong people at the very first election in Goa. It was realized by the party leadershipthemselves who always looked for a way out of this stalemate till in 1979 they dissolvedthe United Goans Party, some joined the Congress (I) and some went to Janataparty. The only issue that kept UGP alive for a while was the opinion poll. At the height of ignorance the place and people which/whogave him glory and name from no where to first Chief Minister of Goa he himselfturned around and propagated the merger of Goa into Maharashtra.That is why historians call this what happens when wrong people get in power. Itis so confusing to clear the minds of young students who question us teacherstoday that the person who wanted to wipe the name of Goa from the map by merger, this very person’s statue is erectedin front of the temple of Goan Democracy, thelegislative Assembly. what are we Goans doing? As along as we tolerate suchthings, corruption due to wrong peoplein power will continue to rule Goa, nothingelse. The act of Dr. Sequeira opposing the merger of Goa in to Maharashtra was just a reflex act, he being the leader ofthe opposition, what else he could have done, to opposed was the only way out.Thanks to the curiosity of Mrs. Indira Gandhi who was very much confused whenMr. Bandodkar mobilized Maharashtra legislature and MPs to fuel the merger ofGoa, it is at this stage Mrs.Gandhi called for opinion poll to give power toGoan to decide the future of Goa. Lot ofhistorians have attempted to investigate if any request was first put by Dr. Sequiera demanding opinion poll in Goa.There was no such demand from UGP at all, recorded in history, it was onlyMrs.Gandhi idea of referendum in Goa released by Mr.P.Kakodkar a local Congressleader, this move was taken halfheartedly and feared by UGP was in minority.Winning opinion poll was victory for Goans, hindus and catholics but nothingfor both Dr.Jack de Sequeira who remained as he was a dividing face andMr.Bandodkar never got to fulfill his dream to merge Goa into Maharashtra. So if this is the story we Goans have to ask the questionsas to who were this people namely Dr. Jack de Sequeira and Mr. DayanandBandodkar? Where did they come from? What was their mind setup? And who still madethem hero’s of Goa. All Goans needed was a member of ‘Velliapura Royal family’to bring in Democracy for his people in Goa after liberation, non other butfreedom fighter Roque Santan of Velim who resorted to Satyagraha for Democracyin Goa. So a general election was announced inGoa, Soon after the declaration of election in Goawe see the names of Dr. Jack de Sequeira and Mr. Dayanand Bandodkar both rich Industrialistswith no pre liberation background jumped on Goan political scene. It is at thistime we read the names of both this richGoans, Dr. Jack de Sequeira and Mr. Dayanand Bandodkar took part in theopportunity to contest formed political parties namely UGP and MGP and afterelection, one formed the Government and other sat in the opposition. Looks likethere was a opportunity for grab, a lottery for one. At the time of liberation of Goaboth Dr. Jack de Sequeira and Mr. Dayanand Bandodkar were of over middle age,so what were they doing when thousands of Goans were involved in the liberationstruggle. We Goans have to ask this questions as to where were Dr. Jack deSequeira and Mr. Dayanand Bandodkar during the 50-60 year long Goan liberationstruggle with the Portuguese military forces. No where during the freedommovement, their names not even remotely mentioned in pre liberation history. With all seniors leaders dead or in old age theonly freedom fighters name which figures out loud amongst opinion poll names ofMLA’s is that of Roque Santan of Velim who was involved in the pre-liberationstruggle with the Portuguese forces and who went on Satyagraha demandingDemocracy in Goa. And for this he is humbly know as “ father of Goan Democracy”. As long as we the educated ones at the University don’tratify Goan history and put things in order as to who is who ‘promote memoriesof man of sacrifice’ or else corruption will be the order of the day in Goa andordinary Goan will continue to suffer at the hands of wrong people in power intheir own rich State of India. by Ujwala.

[Goanet] Goan-origin Lopes in fray for Swindon's council election
PANJIM: Antonio Lopes, a Goan from Goa-Velha is a candidate for the local council elections in Swindon, UK, for the Liberal Democratic Party. He has been living in England for the last 25 years, the last 10 years of which have been in Swindon with his family. Goans are regarded as the biggest community in Central Swindon and Antonio believes the time has come that Goans have a representative to voicing the concerns in the council. Antonio believes that there are many ways the Council of Swindon can help the Goan community grow even more as there are many resources available through the council which can benefit the community. He says that his ultimate goal is to be able to do something better for the growth and prosperity of Goans in Swindon. Last year, Imtiyaz Shaikh, another Goan from Vasco contested for Liberal Democrates, but lost narrowly by a margin of 5 per cent vote. Antonio has asked the support of all Goans by casting their votes for him on May 7. Imtiyaz Antonio have already through the council obtained grants to teach English to Goans who missed the opportunity in Goa. They believe this will help them in their day-to-day life. Another grant has already been sanctioned for senior citizens. Our goal is to make them come out of their houses and meet one another, thereby gaining confidence. Imtiyaz is organizing a Goan talent hunt contest called, Goan Super Star, on May 12, in Swindon, supported by Antonio Lopes. The proceeds of this will go to The Great Western Hospital charity. The aim of this show is to bring our youngsters together and groom them for the bigger stage in England.

On the three points in his post below, I say: 1. I have no issues with opinions, including of 'historians'. Nowhere have I claimed, or labour under the impression, that I am a historian. Or that the book is a 'magnum opus'! I wish Dr. Colaco had to spell out its multiple short-comings, which I would have accepted in all humility. 2. The allegation of my bringing into the open the private and intimate lives of inhabitants of Largo da Igreja and their revered ancestors is not illustrated with a single instance. How can I comment? If I have erred, I will no hesitation to apologize and make amends. 3. I have dealt only with facts. If what I believed to be true was indeed not, it could be pointed out. The comments on my aunts and father are patently false, to the knowledge of the local community.

Goa's Premiere Mailing List goanet@lists.goanet.org by Dr. Francisco Colaco I am a great admirer of Valmiki Faleiro and had lavished a lot of praise on Valmiki as a brilliant writer and master of the pen. I stand by what I said. But after perusing his book ?Soaring Spirit? minutely this is what I have to say:- 1. The historians whom I met on that day and thereafter admit it is no historical book at all. A magnus opus that makes sweeping statements about contentious subjects should contain well-known references and a readily-accessible bibliography. That the book was written in three months cannot be advanced as an excuse for its multiple short-comings 2. Valmiki?s book, instead of being a historical book, reads like a book of khani?. He has indeed stooped to abysmal depths by selectively bringing into the open the private and intimate lives of inhabitants of Largo da Igreja and their revered ancestors. He seems totally confused when he brings into play the new settlers like Massurkars and Barretos in good light, while directing his ire, a fruit of his fertile imagination, against those against whom his family had a grudge, notwithstanding the fact that the Cola?os in particular, to cite one example, contributed so much towards the welfare of Holy Spirit Church and the Comunidades unlike his family. 3. Valmiki would have sounded more congruent if, while washing other people?s dirty linen, he had brought under scrutiny his own. It is abysmal to learn that he talks of his half-mad ?gossip-monger? aunts as ?encyclopedias? who gave him the inputs for his book. Further, he fails to mention about his own father who was a manic-schizophrenic and had to be tied when he ran amuck and went into a state of murderous frenzy. Yet, he seems bent on soiling other people?s good name which is tantamount to defamation. As a member of the ancestral Cola?o family, I have two advices for Valmiki. First, ?let a book about ?history? be a ?historical book?. Second, ?those who have glass houses should not throw stones?
