Sign the Petition requesting The Honble Minister of State for Environment
and Forests (I/C) to maintain the moratorium on issuing further
environmental clearances for mining activities in Goa

In Goa MINING is underMINING the very existence of Goa by scraping its ovaries
[mining below the water table] and trying to make omlettes out of the faeces
[mining dumps]. The Chinese are saying NO to the BS.
The iron ore and manganese mines are Open CAST and mostly below to the Goud
Saraswat Brahmin CASTE [ Salgaocar, Timblo, Panonidkar, Talaulikar. The Bodke
aka Dempo's still have interest in processing of mined products and one
permission for expansion has been denied last week. Jai Jairam Ramesh. He is
bringing some Ramrajya to the Naked world of Digamber's Goa.
The Antruzi Konkani that is now the Official but sparingly used [the only
newspaper in Devanagri script Konkani, SunAparant sells less than a thousand
copies ...and spends more on electricity and travel each day, to say nothing of
the fancy salaries of the staff] has Rs.20 million pumped into it every year
through the Goa Konkani Akademi. That is like pumping drinking water from the
mining pits into the saline river water to get the ore.
Both Konkani in Devanagri script and the income from mines feed the same CASTE.
Borges and Barge drivers alike get the peanut butter to apply on their
Bikareachi Poyee. [Professor Sebastiao Mariano Borges was a lecturer in Geology
at the Parvatibhai Chowgule College in Margao. No prizes for guessing who owns
it.]
On 17 April, 2010 we are going to have two events to celbrate the Tiatr Day
.....500 metres apart ....at Kala Academy and the Tiatr Academy. "Life is a
Natok" said Wilhelm Sex-peer . The Devanagri lipi guyz think the Tiatrists
cannot do it by themselves because the Natoks are not written in Roman script.
The Konkani in Devanagri script has ensured that Goa could get Statehood
[India's states are defined by language such as Marathi for Maharashtra and
Kannada for Karnataka ...and fights for the Gelgaonkars who speak both
languages] ...without really promoting Konkani. 986 Govt. Primary Schools
[GPS] are in Marathi Medium and only 52 GPS in Konkani survive from the 72
started in 1992.
The Diocesan Society of Education/ABE shifted all its 126 primary schools to
Konkani in Devanagari. Like everything dome prematurely, it brings forth
nothing. The Catholic children are studying in "secular" schools run by
business houses owned by you know who and the DSE schools teach Lamains,
Bijapuris and Bhandaris who cannot afford English medium's stiff fees and
"voluntary" contributions to the corpus fund.
Our children studied in ABE Konkiani medium schools and learnt English at home.
You can imagine what happens to village students from Konkani speaking families
with illiterate parents. That is the Catholic Church's "preference for the
poor" in actual practice. After that they expect to get vocations among
intelligent, Sharda Mandir, Shiksha Niketan, Vidya Vikas educated students.
Those fols are sold on to the economics of making money. Few that join the
seminaries apparently do not leave this trait behind. Why should they when
Sunday collections touch Rs.40,000/- in the town parishes ...each Sunday.
