<Gilbert,
A contract is a contract - is it not? So what are the reasons for the Navy
to renege on it?
Since the feast days (2 in number) are fixed days , cannot the Navy make an
allowance for those two calendar dates and transform them into "open days"
for the sake of the visiting pilgrims? >
Dear Gabriel,
I believe that you might be in error. I agree with Gilbert Menezes. Goans
have NO contractual rights visavis Anjediva. Contractual rights can only be
enforced in a civil society governed by the Rule of Law.
A valid contract is between two parties who are equal in the eyes of the
law. One cannot have a contract when one of the parties considers itself
(based on Gilbert's postings) 'above the law'.
Remember now ...this is 2006. The powers can read your email, listen to your
cell phone conversation, put a video camera in your living room - ALL in the
name of "defence of the nation".
BTW: Until you physically see the contract (if there was one), you are
incorrect to conclude that the Navy reneged on it. What if there wasn't a
contract?
How do you know that the NAVY did not BUY Anjediva ? Someone may have sold
it, for all you know
And, what is a couple of crores here and there, and the odd uninhabited
island between lberated 'friends'?
'Liberating forces' have the right of way viz. the right of way in Tibet
1950, and other places which have been liberated since.
