Hello Goanetters
Many years ago, the then government of Goa MGP, was trying its best to merge Goa with Maharashtra, but were unsuccessful due to the strong unity of Goans. But unfortunately for us Goans the flame never died, the ember was just waiting for the right wind which came in the form of BJP, and we are witnessing all things that are taking place. The Konkani that young Goans fought for, is gradually taking a back seat. When we have more Goans who take english as their language of pride, what will happen to our Konkani? The chair that Bandodkar left vacant has been taken over by Manohar Parrikar. Is he trying to complete the task of Bandodkar and Goa to Maharashtr on a silver platter? What is his hatred for his own mother? KONKANI? When he knew of this IFFI, why didnt he ask some directors to direct a Konkani Movie?
Hope better sense prevails, and Konkani shines forth, and KONKANI atains its noble status as the Proud language of Goa.
Like Ullas Buyon famous song +ACI- Konkani Ulloi Konkani+ACI- ( can someone pls give
the words for that song?)
Cheers
Jerry Fernandes
