The following post appears to have NOT appeared on GoaNet. Must have been lost somewhere in cyberspace.

Grateful if you good people would give some feedback

The New Year is already upon us, and we at The Goan Forum take this opportunity to look back at identifying an individual or a set of individuals who have made the most distinctive contribution to Goa in the year 2004.

This contribution does not necessarily have to be a beneficial contribution, only one which has been most distinctive.

We intend to name the persona (personae) on January 30, 2005 - the anniversary of the murder of the Mahatma Gandhi - the world's best known proponent of non-violent Struggle against Oppression. ( I would have said "senseless murder", but then which murder - is sensible? )

website url http://www.colaco.net ( undergoing some basic updating at moment - so might have a few down times - every now and again )

GRATEFUL if readers of GoaNet and Goa-Goans would submit their nominations with about 200 words as to why they support that nomination. Please do so before Jan 27, 2005.

IF you have a good jpeg pic of the person(s), please send them to me.

Thanks

jc



BTW: It is this Gandhian non-violent Struggle that brought down Apartheid in South Africa & many parts of Racism in the US - thanks mainly to the sacrifices of Nelson Mandela & Martin Luther King respectively.

This past Monday - was Martin Luther King day.

Was hoping to see a few words about Martin Luther King and his struggle for democratic rights from "people of colour" .
