Sangath, www.sangath.com, is looking to build a centre for services, training and research and seeks to buy approx 1500 to 2000 sq mtrs land betweeen Mapusa and Bambolim and surrounding rural areas. Please contact: contac...@sangath.com or yvo...@sangath.com or ph+91-9881499458 http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-July/180028.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It seems Sanjit knew what could happen to him. What is remarkable is that Chongkham Sanjit did not run. He looks dignified in the pictures. The State of Manipur (believe Manmohan Singh's constituency is in this state) will never be able to say that he was evading arrest--if he had ran or was carrying a gun, etc. In Mumbai, I heard that either a gun would be slapped into the hand of the person to be eliminated (the encounters); pushed forward from the jeep and told to walk, or just told to walk/run without a weapon being slapped on the person and then shot. In this case as the commandos moved in Sanjit appeared outwardly calm. They did not even immediately close his eyelids! At least one must be granted that dignity. My earlier point about being apolitical (ref: GBA) is very much possible, but it is stilll the strategic responsibility of the activist group to lay out the pros and cons of political parties, as well as get them to spell out their specific positions. Not to abnegate their moral position. So when betrayal takes place, the people remember, and make attempts to amend their decision in the next round. This is work, awareness and a desire for change. The weak have to shape up is all one can really say. The next party may also betray, but then one hopes that the people are willing to vote afresh those who they believe are for the public interest. Btw, for my final year at JJ Applied Art, studied design for social issues--so for my final project researched torture, prisoners of conscience, women prisoners, etc. Also see this blog on Maipur: http://manipurcomments.com/ http://manipurcomments.com/indias-forgotten-war/ But extra-judicial executions are something only a few like Sanjit could perhaps factor into their lives and existence. venantius _____________________________________________ From: "J.
