In the late seventies my friends from Don Bosco would talk a lot about a Prof
who had revolutionary ideas to help the people of Goa. His classes I believe
were always filled with these stories. Later Matani came out to fight for
various causes. The main one was the opposition to mechanical fishing vis a vis
traditional fishing. Then there was the agitation against the Meta Strips etc.
In Cuba and in the early 50's an Argentnian Doctor by the name of Ernesto Che
Guevara fought side by side with the Cuban Revolution. Che used the AK, while
Matani used ahimsa and satyagraha methods to achieve their goals. Both men also
made mistakes Che tried to suppress the Catholic church while Matani tried to
shoot from the shoulder of the BJP ( a fascist group).
There is a third chap in the scene. Mao said revolution starts with the barrel
of a gun. These are not pipedreams.
Amchem Goem amkam zai!
