Joseph rightly asks: why is it that our Catholic Goans are damn good with pen 
and paper writing articles in flowery language in Goan blogs, local Goa 
Newspapers but yet fail miserably to pen even a few lines (protesting) the 
desecration of (Christian) graves?Why indeed?  
On another issue, Advocate Aires Rodrigues has bravely filed a petition against 
the allegedly unlawful BJP-sponsored Meeting at the Airport and the Bombay 
Court  has already responded.
But has Aires received any strong support or commendation from the people? 
   I am not aware of any.  
Both these issues no doubt have the backing (however tacit) of the cow-fixated 
BJP party. Has any CM or senior BJP official cared to explain the Airport 
meeting? Or condemn Hindu acts offensive to minorities (Christians or Muslims)? 
They just stay dumb, preferring tension to winning hearts & minds.
Have you noticed that wherever there are concentrations of minorities in India, 
the Hindu rulers have dispatched their army or special forces - to Kashmir 
(Muslim), North East (Christian), Central India (tribals & Dalits).It might be 
Goa's turn next. If the Goenkars are silent, it may be they are scared of the 
BJPwalas who love bullying minorities.
