LUIZINHO FALEIRO IN QATAR. Help Protect Goan Culture.

According to the latest information, Luizinho along with Joaquim Alemao will 
be in Qatar to attend the G.O.A. functions. I would kindly request any of 
the Goan members attending these functions to ask Luizinho Faleiro the 
following questions:

1. As a leader of opposition party in the Leg. Assembly and as a senior 
member of Congress having good record as far as defection is concerned, why 
his party gave tickets to all the defectors thereby giving them one more 
opportunity to defect?

2. What precautionary measures Congress Party has taken to prevent further 
defections from its members once they are elected?

3. If Congress Party is allowed to form the next ministry, who will be the 
Chief Minister and other Ministers?  What decision Congress has taken in 
this regards or will they wait for election results thereby giving the 
elected members to play their tricks? All troubles starat only for the sake 
of ministerial positions.  This has to be decided beforehand only.

Furthermore according to reports G.O.A. Qatar last year by organising a 
function donated one lakh of rupees for the Earthquake victims in Gujarat.  
Fine, this is a good humanitarian gesture.  To my Goans in G.O.A., more than 
Gurajarat you have responsibility to look after the requirements of your own 
Goa and Goans.  Your name suggest that you are for Goa and Goans.  Goan 
culture is to be protected and in this aspect your assistance is very much 
required.  Mando and Dulpods are part of our culture and keeping them alive 
is the duty of Goans, real and genuine Goans and not fake Goans. Everyear in 
Goa Mando Festivals are organised and to organise these festivals the 
organisers need money.  Kuwait Konknni Kendr has already allocated one lakh 
of rupees for this purpose and Goa lover American settled Agnelo Gomes has 
done his duty by allocating over 5 lakhs of ruppes.  Still more fund is 
requried.  Earlier I have explained and written exhaustively on this subject 
and I am sure G.O.A. Qatar will be aware of this.  In view of this, can I on 
my individual behalf request G.O.A. to allocate at least Rs. one lakh for 
this purpose and make the job of organising Mando Festival an easy affair? 
Can't you allocate this years profit for this purpose?

As Goans who are in this part of the world we have more responsibilities 
towards Goa and protection of its cultural items.  Otherwise what is the use 
of ourselves calling us Goans, having our associations in the name of 
Goa/Goans and organising our functions in the name of Goa?  If we fail in 
our mission towards supporting genuine Goan causes then we will fail our 
ownselves.  Organising ballroom dances and electing and selecting May Queens 
is a good function but surely it is not a part of Goan culture.If we are 
real Goans having love for our Goa and Goan culture then we will do 
something to protect our cultural items.  It is a challenge not only to 
G.O.A. Qatar but also to all other Goans who are organising their functions 
in the name of Goa/Goans.

A. Veronica Fernandes,
Kuwait.
