------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
<Goa: Politics is a lot like theatre, a lot of acting, some laughter,tears and plenty of melodrama. > Maybe the situation can be understood by a set of conjoined entities. Politics and government is one such set. When politics is of the "pretend" or theatrical variety as suggested above then government is also a farce as is fairly evident for a lot of the time. Then there is the conjoined set of military and government. When the former exercises a stranglehold over Dabolim the sole airport of the state, the 'commanding heights of the modern political economy', then government is bound to be badly distorted. And so we come back full circle to the politics of the absurd. Does this explanation hold water? ------------------------------------------------------- Goanet recommends, and is proud to be associated with, 'Domnic's Goa' - A nostalgic romp through a bygone era. This book is the perfect gift for any Goan, or anyone wanting to understand Goa. Distributed locally by Broadway, near Caculo Island, Panjim & internationally by OtherIndiaBookStore.Com.
