Can Bandh decide the future of our Children?
Since Liberation till I passed out SSC in the year 1989, there were nothing called as Konkni medium Schools. The PDF government which was the combination of MG and some Power hungry Congressmen forcibly changed the MOI at the primary level to Konkni in the name of grants but they never dared to apply the same to Marathi medium Schools. At the time of Konkni agitation the so called present saviors of Konkni were the same ones who were all out to oppose konkni as the official language of Goa. There is really no point writing something lengthy against those hypocrites who are facing a severe understanding problem. Their kith and kin are getting the best benefit of English education, one of them even run an English medium School and yet organize illegal morchas and Bandhs to prevent the poor parents of giving the same English education to their Children. The MOI is not at all an issue. It’s a simple and clear case, people have got the choice between English,konkni and Marathi to chose as the MOI and there can’t be better so called experts rather than the parents themselves. Supporters of English are been termed as anti-nationals by BBSM but the world knows who had plans to merge Goa with Maharashtra? With regard to the ministers supporting Konkani as a MOI, why they don’t dare to resign against their own governments decision? The reason is quite simple, there is nothing so important than the money making Kodel for them. My own village which is represented by a Varca man in the Vidhan Sabha was 99 percent closed on the day of 6th June but that doesn’t mean we all Cuncollekars support Konkani or Marathi as a medium of Instruction. On that day a place was opened in Cuncolim and sold things like Bhaji pao,tea etc. at a black market day and made the best use of Bandh. Joel Morais P.O.Cuncolim, Bencleamvaddo, Salcette,Goa.
