------------------------------------------------------------------ Domnic Fernandes continues (Part III) his reminiscence of Mapusa of the 1950s http://www.goanet.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=426 ------------------------------------------------------------------ BTW, Bonefacio, do you need someone else to tell you that it's up to you to set matters right? Forty five years after your Portuguese "guardians" left, are you still looking for someone else to set matters right? Where were you when Tony was interested in political office? Why are YOU not running for political office, or helping some other honest person to run?
Mario: Won't be a hypocrite , yes we are still looking for someone else to set matters right, and its very much apparent on the face of it. As i mentioned to you earlier , don't know which corner of the world are you sitting and writing these mails but the reality is on ground not in the air.The question out here is not "Looking for someone else to set matters right" but the conditions were better off Pre 1961, and as usual you seem to deviate the subject. Bonefacio: About Tony being interested in Political office,one does not need Political offices to make matters work, as tony mentioned he is not like those politicians who want to splash themselves on the papers for works done, and moreover he is a satyameva jayate person he would not be doing well in the political arena , as he mentioned it himself. You seem to be going off the track when you say"Why are YOU not running for political office,or helping some other honest person to run?My mails talk about conditions being better Pre 1961 and till date i feel the absence of Portuguese. I take pride in openly stating we were better during the Pre 1961 unlike those(KHAUN PIUN BADMASH)they use the Portuguese consulate,get their stuff sorted out do not travel to Portugal but to UK and elsewhere. Mario writes: Things were not proper" prior to 1961 either, my friend, in most of Goa, except in the frozen memories of Portophiles like yourself in places like Loutolim, who pretended that being bossed around by some white people was better than the chaos of a democracy, a dictatorship that was friendly towards upper class Bonefacio: About being bossed around by some white people, won't go much in the detail as the rest is immaterial, Post 1961 how many companies exist in India and Goa where whites have taken charge? Who is the coach to the Indian Cricket team? How many Goans work under whites and how many could comment be it in India or overseas that working under a white is better than working under an indian? Mario writes: Catholics who were given special privileges so that they would express sentiments like we see from you and a few others, most of whom don't even live in Goa any more. Bonefacio: There can never be a better exercise by working on the ground and you could see it for yourself and you will get the answer. Had portuguese been given a chance to continue their rule, I am sure Tony and yourself and many others like you would be singing a different tune.It would not be SATYAMEVA JAYATE BUT VIVA PORTUGAL.
