Speaking on the issue, Savio Rodrigues, Secretary & President (Youth Affairs), GSRP expressed, "Goa is the only state to hold two consecutive Hindu Nation Convention. This has been allowed because the government is ruled by the right-wing political party BJP. The Hindu Nation theory aimed at regaining India's past glory and shedding of the 'colonial hangover' is misplaced and the way of going about it through fundamentalism is totally obnoxious and intolerable. History cannot be wiped out by merely changing the names. This is outright fanaticism. It is one thing trying to regain the past glory of the Indian subcontinent as existed before 1947. But anything more than that is pure garbage. Goa, for all that matters, has never been a part of India but a part of the Indian subcontinent. The British were ruling a major part of the Indian subcontinent, now called India [after 1947]. Likewise the Portuguese were ruling Goa two and a half centuries before the British came to the Indian subcontinent. Can this history be erased by changing the names of cities?" he asked. "Today, the Hindu organizations want to rename the cities, Later, they will want to rename the state and who knows in the future they would want Portuguese sounding name-holders to change their names to Hindu names, too, or some RSS-BJP zombie like Giriraj Singh will tell them to go to Portugal just like he wants those opposing Modi to go to Pakistan. "Hinduism is a religion of tolerance and acceptance, not an intimidating force. The concept of Hindustan propagated by the Hindu organizations on the lines of an Islamic Nation is itself flawed because the concept of Hindustan never existed till around the time of the fight for Independence. Even our founding leaders of India wanted governance devoid of religious interference, hence terming India as a 'secular' nation, meaning acceptance of no religion," Rodrigues further elaborated. The General Secretary of the Party, Floriano Lobo, upset about these fanatical trends showing up in Goa said " This is a dangerous trend which has germinated in India, now showing its tentacles in Goa, perhaps, since the attack by the RSS-BJP sponsored mob led by Naguesh Karmali on the Mala-Fontainhas road and house plaques sporting Portuguese names, on 18 June, 2004, first time since 1961, and having gotten off scot free, thanks to the then ruling BJP government. Such fanaticism must be condemned and such organizations must be banned in the country, especially in Goa" . "BJP government in Goa", he said " must stem this 'Hindu Rashtra Disease' before it erupts into an issue in this state bordering Hindu fanaticism" and added " it is a million dollar question if the Goa BJP has the will to do so" Sd/- Savio Rodrigues Secretary & President (Youth Affairs) Goa Su-Raj Party Mob:+919764447313 Website: www.goasu-raj.org --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
