Is Reliance "Most corrupt" because of the carnival related events or because of some corporate malpractice? The clipping appended by the right reverend Dr.Samir Kelekar[ not some ordinary banana man ;-) ] seems to suggest that the former is the case.
Living in Bangalore, Dr.Samir Kelekar perhaps has not realised that the main sponsor of carnival this year is ING Vyasa Bank....and that saffron coloured banners with the ING Vyasa Bank name and logo stretch along the Cornice Road as far as the eye can see from the District Collector's office and Panaji Police Station. Romta-mell, Sontryo, Ghoddea-modni,etc are part of the CARNIVAL 05 planned by the BJP Government with Matanhy Saldanha as the Tourism Minister. Inculturation is a word that the Catholic Church uses for such things. Matanhy must have known it would draw support...or atleast blunt opposition. The Carnival Committee chosen by the BJP will now perform the task under a Congress dispensation. The show must go on for the sake of dollars and rupees. .....................................

Cordially invites you to the screening of the documentary
INDIA : THE LOTUS AND THE CROSS
byVishnu Mathur at B. Borkar RoadAlto Porvorim
Saturday, 12th February 2005 7. 15 pm
SYNOPSIS
In this 92 minute film we will see the phenomenon of
"Inculturation" - how Hindu rituals and symbols are intermingling
into the practice of Christianity in India.
The documentary also presents a short history of
Christianity since the arrival of the apostle St Thomas on Indian
shores in 52 AD.
An "Indian Rite Mass" more appealing to simple village folk, which incorporates their songs and dances, is
shown; Finally, we hear the views of some Indian priests on issues like celibacy, conversion,
freedom of the Human Will. They strongly believe that Christianity
has to adapt and change if necessary to the needs of people in the
context of culture and modern trends.
