Ah Nascy! What's all this beef about beef?
Who is depriving whom from their much 'beloved beef'? I agree with you. Every participant has the 'fundamental right' to eat beef; it's just that the host also has the 'fundamental right' to make available the dishes he/she is best able to provide. I do not believe that anybody is forced to eat 'on the premises'. Tomorrow, someone will say that He/She normally has 3 glasses of red wine (or 4 pegs of caju feni) with their meal at night. Is the host obligated to provide wine/caju feni on premises? Take it easy. I believe that the organisers are smart. They do not want any anarchists and other riff-raffs to disrupt the Games. As it is, it's a challenge to organise such large Games. Additionally there is a real and present danger with terrorism. Did you not watch the TV during the recent Toronto G20 summit. (A few Goans left the area and came down here for a break during that time.) Would you want that to happen during the Games? i.e. for the Goans to come here for a break during the Hurricane season? jc NOT a Secular, Agnostic or saffronite by any means. Just a Roman Catholic from the Jesuit tradition.

Is this democratic? I thought the Commonwealth is composed of democratic nations. Who the hell are these saffron wallahs to deprive participants of so many nations from eating Beef or whatever they are used to and like to eat? Even Hindus eat Beef and or Cow. So who is directing this farce against whom? It is time for taking these people full on! I think the nations would be very RIGHT if they just pulled out of these Games. Why not? The nations will have done modern India a GREAT Favour. * * * IS YOURS one of the stories of Goans on board the S.S.
