I like your suggestion, but unfortunately, it is impossible to implement.
The members of the Armed forces lose some of their basic rights, the day
they sign up. Among these, are the right to free expression, and the right
to political activity.

Subject: [Goanet] Compensate Tiatrists/Rape Victims
COMPENSATION FOR RAPE VICTIMS AND TIATRISTS TOO.
"GOENKARANCHO EKVOTT" DEMANDS COMPENSATION TO RAPE VICTIMS OF 1961�
Dear Agnelo Gomes Bab,
Your write up on the above subject on 23rd of this month created some more
interest in me. Your campaign against those guilty of committing atrocities
against our females deserves strong support. You and people like you are in
much-much more better position than many others to tackle such issues. You
and few other living souls who witnessed the hara-kiri committed on innocent
Goans in 1961 December during the march of Bharati troops over Goa are the
only Goans who can do something to enlighten the present and future
generations of the destructive events took place in 1961 in the name of
forced liberation. I am sure you need more of Agnelo Gomes to further your
campaign and hope more of Agnelo Gomes will join you. Please do what you
can to ask justice and compensation for the rape victims. Sardarjis were
the worst culprits, even Pakistanis say during the partition time Sardarjis
committed worst cruelties against Muslim women.
Alfred D�Cruz was a renowned Goan journalist from Bombay, after working for
40 years at Times of India he retired and now leading a retired life at his
Bombay Bandra Home, near Linking Road. Hailing from Saligao Bardez and
coming from an aristocratic family he as a boarder at Arpora finished his
Matriculation and completed his double graduation in Bombay and soon joined
Times under the British Editor. While in Bombay he involved in Goa�s
liberation movement and because of which he was banned by the Portuguese
Government in Goa from entering Goa. Even when his dearest mother died he
could not attend to her funeral though he tried his level best to cast his
last glance on his dead mother. Soon after Goa was grabbed by Bharat, Nehru
was in Bombay addressing a press conference. During this conference Nehru
spotted D�Cruz and asked him thus �Mr. D�Cruz! Are you satisfied that your
beloved Goa is now liberated by our troops?� For this Alfred D�Cruz
retorted thus �Mr. Prime Minister, it hurts me very much to ask you that -
have you sent your troops to Goa to liberate my Goa or to rape our innocent
women and loot my Goa?� For this Nehru was totally embarrassed, so too
others. The rapes, pillage and loot done by Indian Military personnel in
1961 was not a fake argument but a truth and REAL TRUTH. Indian Military
is a shameless Military as far as rapes are concerned. This is because most
of the Military personnel are having scrap character, coming from third
class background, they look like people coming from �zapadpatti� and only
from this class of people are capable to commit such heinous crimes against
innocent women as Iraqi Military did in Kuwait during the invasion of
Kuwait. And by the way, haven�t we heard of such rapes committed by Indian
Military personnel in Bangladesh after the defeat of Pakistan in East
Pakistan?
While demanding compensation for our rape victims, kindly add compensation
for our the then great Goa lover tiatrists who openly opposed grabbing of
Goa by Bharati Army sent by Nehru�s Congress thru the chicanery of Malyali
Krishna Menon. The tiatrists that I am referring to are Jacinto Vaz, Young
Menezes, M. Dod de Verna, Dioginho de Mello, Ansu Rodrigues, Jeorgina
Jacques, Baldino Araujo, Johny Sylvester, Alen Decosta, Reginaldo Fernandes,
Kid Boxer and others whose names I cannot remember. Some of these Tiatrists
are dead and gone after highlighting their demand even from the stage. But
nobody cared for their voice. They were working for the then Emissora de
Goa and as employees of Emissora de Goa owned by the then Goa Government
(India Portuguesa) their task was to air Konkani programme in support of the
Portuguese Government in Goa. It is but natural to follow these lines. To
please the British Government and its Monarch, even the National Anthem of
India was composed as per the likes of the then British Government by its
composer whom we call the greatest patriot of India � Rabindranath Tagore.
Still we are adoring and singing this as our National Anthem and yet no body
call Tagore a British chamcha when Indians suffered so much from the hands
of British � in fact worst of brutalities were suffered by Indians from the
hands of Britsh than what the so called freedom fighters suffered from the
hands of Portuguese. The above named Tiatrists and artistes of Emissora de
Goa were not paid their (3) months salaries prior to the 19th December 1961.
Since they were not paid their salaries by Portuguese Goa Government it
was natural for the Indian Government to pay the same as it was done in
other cases. But as a punishment for their airing of programmes on Emissora
de Goa against Indian military action their salaries were not paid. Jacinto
Vaz after December 1961 and till his death at least 5 to 6 times raised this
topic from the stage and put All India Radio Goa authorities into shame. In
one of his comedy songs Jacinto Vas moans thus �Ah � Ah � Ah, Ah, Amcho adlo
Pagamento Kon Dita-ah-ah-ah? Chor amcho pagament kiteak khata-ah-ah-ah?
etc�. As a further punishment against this campaign for justice and
compensation Jacinto Vaz was further castigated by the All India Radio Goa
manned by a Ghantti Chief by boycotting all the songs of Jacinto Vaz from
airing on All India Radio Panjim.
These issues are to be highlited and fought for if we want justice for our
brothers and sisters whom we call our Goans.

SUPPORT MATHIAS VAS AT SANTA CRUZ.
Further to the below mentioned press release, I strongly lend my support to
Mathias Vaz of Goa Su-Raj Party candidate at St. Cruz constituency. As far
as I know, in Matias Suraj party has a best person with best integrity. A
man of high morals, Mathias has great love for Goa, Konkani and everything
that is best in Goa. He is a witness to the high princiles of Goan
character of yesteryears. We need such people to bring Goa back to its old
great principles. By nature he is very charitable person and most of his
charitable works are done not to gain cheap publicity. To promote justice
and Konkani culture and language he published under his direct supervision a
Konkani/English Weekly which was well read in Kuwait. Thru this forum I
declare my support to Goa Su-Raj Party's candidate Mathias Vaz and also
request all the constituents residing in Kuwait to advise their family
members in Goa to vote for Mathias Vaz of Goa Su-Raj Party. With his
charismatic approach and clean image I am sure victory will be his.
Voting Mathias Vaz means voting against corruption - against
defection-against Ayaram & Gayaram-against bribery-against goondageri,
against communalism and against everythying that is antigoan.
A. VERONICA FERNANDES,
KUWAIT.

Subject: [Goanet] Sahmat's press release regarding the Gujarat cassettes

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
23.5.2002
We strongly condemn the patently illegal police action in Velim in
South Goa on May 21,2002 where video cassettes being screened for
promoting communal harmony were seized from a private show. It is
ironical that the chief minister of Goa, who belongs to a party
which is so blatantly spewing communal venom on the minorities in
the country, claims that the screening constitutes an offense under
section 153-A and 153-B of the Indian Penal Code. This section
relates to creating enemity between different groups on grounds of
religion, race etc.
Three independent film makers have made short video films-Hey Ram,
by Gopal Menon, Evil Stalks The Land, by Gauhar Raza and In the
Name of Faith, by Pankaj Shankar following the carnage in Gujarat.
The films are based on interviews of the victims of violence who
unambiguously accuse the BJP state administration and the different
wings of the Sangh Parivar and its ideology responsible for the
carnage. The films have a clear message of communal amity and
express full faith in secular India. It is the secular message of
these films that has rattled the BJP in Goa faced with the impending
electoral defeat.
The police action in Goa constitutes a gross violation of the
constitutional right of freedom of expression. Given the complexion
of the government there and the secular character of the films, this
communal offensive against secular creativity has to be defeated by
the joint efforts of all democratic and secular groups.
