------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
http://www.ibnlive.com/blogs/sagarikaghose/223/42450/goan-the-right-way.html# > An excerpt from this analysis of the elections in Goa: > "Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, the hapless (and astonished) Congress party has secured (along with its ally the NCP) 19 seats in the Goa Assembly elections and is to form the government with the help of two independents. The BJP's attempt to divide the "secular" vote has failed. Hindutva has for the moment been stalled in the land of fish football and feni. Susegad (the word in Goa for a good living) is a fitting adversary of communalism: hatred for the other seems to evaporate easily next to the gentle ease of the seaside. Or does it? The 2007 assembly elections in Goa may not be of long term importance, but safeguarding Goa's identity also means safeguarding the future of a more civilized India." > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
