This is Hitlerr's stand.
Marathi is a fully developed language by itself.
And Marathi is used by most people in Goa, may it be the news papers, may it
be religious rites etc.
Why should it be excluded from the State Awards??
State Awards are not restricted to any language. You mean to say Remo always
sings in Konkani?
Therefore, Dr. Carmo, you are blatantly wrong.
Art and culture is the mainstay. Not the Language in which it is expressed.
Just because Konkani is Goa's State Language, it cannot be considered
supreme.
Just my thoughts
floriano/goasuraj
================================================================
RESPONSE:
Yes floriano, Dr. Carmo is totally wrong regarding his language perspective.
Marathi is most written, read and used language in Goa compared to Konkani.
Dr. Carmo, If you don't know about ground reality, then let me tell you, there
are more then 10 marathi newspapers circulated all over Goa compared to Konkani
newspaper, which is lone i.e. "sunaparant" and that too has only 4 pages. This
is really sad story, that those who shout about Konkani has hardly got one
newspaper to read written in Devnagari script.
Marathi has brought laurels to Goa by producing great singers, artists, writers
and is also deeply rooted in Goa's culture as well.
What you mean by your statements " We should not have any Marathi Lovers in Goa
! The Marathi lovers in Goa should all be sidelined. Goa should be for Konkani
lovers only ! Marathi lovers should relocate to Maharashtra !"
Does that apply to Portuguese lovers in Goa too??
Those who love Portuguese should relocate to Portugal, Dr.Carmo???? Is that
what you want to say?
Dr. Carmo, please think twice(or may be thrice) before you write anything.
Remember one thing both Konkani & marathi are taught in Devnagari script in
schools.
It is upto people of Goa to choose from the two. You need not have to shout who
should opt what.
And regarding State Awards, there is biasing in that regard as marathi was
sidelined.
Finally what about your IITian batchmate Parrikar, he also learnt marathi and
loves marathi, should he move to Maharashtra????????? And announce you as his
heir for CM's post.as you too are IITian??
But for that to happen you have to come back to Goa, you cannot remotely
control Goa from florida..& also contest & win elections(votes polled by
konkani as well as marathi lovers).
Regards,
Kamalaksh
Goa
