Dears,
This forward by Ruben to Vascokars United hits the nail on its head. Everyone
wants everybody else to do things for him.
One only needs to watch the NDTV show by Srinivasan Jain to know how
condescending the affluent self-appointed "elite" can get!
Mumbai Terror ...and that at Taj and Oberoi Trident ...get the prime slots.
The Nariman House is of peripheral interest because it had Israeli and USA
connections and Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus [CST] does not even enter the
camera frame except for glimpses of the terrorist who was caught. The poor can
die. It does not matter. Khandhamal, Guwahati, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad?
Most of us do not even know where they are ...and if we do, who cares? SUBVERSE
"Terrorised by TV" by Anil Dharkar on Edit page 8 in the Times of India today
[5/12/08] says it all. If one needs further reminder, than the Goa-based,
Booker Prize nominee, Amitav Ghosh, says it in "India's 9/11? Not exactly" on
page 9.
It is no different when it comes to fighting against the Regional Plan for Goa
2021, which seeks to subvert the Constitution of India !!!
Elitism is a goal in itself. All the others are cannon fodder for the greater
glory of the greatest class ..... of hypocrites!!
Mog asundi,
Miguel

This is a report from a friend of mine who was physically present at a rally
outside the Gateway of India post the Mumbai attacks. Interesting reading on
why we are the way we are . . . . .
No other race in the world can beat us at one thing - Expecting others to do
what we can . . . .. and complaining if it is not done.
Jai Hind!
Ruben.

Hi,
Was there at gateway... i guess the Indian youth have become masters in
mental masturbation. ... or we are all CEO's... i.e we know how to give
direction to others ( and when it comes to implement... ahem...) ...
Mumbai wanted 3200 bottles of blood..on thursday.... it took 60 hrs to
gather it..... and Nariman point itself has 4 lac people working... we should
have been able to rustle that quantity in minutes... 100 bottles of blood came
from Hyderabad... .and yesterday all youngsters decked up were shouting
slogans. Pakistan murdabad.. etc politicians chor hai.... in a public forum i
participated. ... we had some young guys saying we should attack Pakistan.... I
just asked... ( all were 23-28 years old guys).... how many of you have even
thought of joining army?.... there was a silence and humming and hawing... i
asked an old man... why did you not send your son to army... he didn't have any
answer... i just asked... how many of you donated blood in the last 3 days....
a deafening silence!!!!
they all want .... some other guys to storm Pakistan and lay down their
lives... but I, or my relatives... well no way we'll do that.... any guesses as
to who is a bigger threat to India... we ourselves... or Pakistan?..
Another joker..a prominent Goan...another archair intellectual. .. said
haughtily... name me one politician in India who is not corrupt..... an
elderly man replied/none. .. we should sack all politicians .... was his
rejoinder... upon being asked what after that.... no reply.... how do we clean
politics.... no reply.....
the elderly man said.... if you don't have
ability to carry multiple people with you... and mobilise people to support
you..... don't give frivolous views..... that elderly mans suggestion
was... get some honest candidates.. .. get them to stand for
elections... start from corporator level... and then clean the
system...yourself. ..because. ... people get the government and society they
deserve.... the elderly man hails from Nuvem.... and has been a Bandra-ite for
over 60 years.. and his nephew has got elected as a Corporator.. . he said...
cleaning up system is a 10 year job.... be prepared for a long
trudge....participate.... or you don't have a right to whine and complain like
a kid...
it struck me that somewhere... we are all failing in our duty as citizens....
and blaming the system. and everybody else but ourselves.
