Now the touxem has also not been spared from parivartan of the waghs and shinvs. What are the real benefits when the fest gets declared as a state feast? What would have been the loss if it was not declared a State feast? In fact, this is the first step of the Government to poke its finger into the affairs of the St. Anne's Church before it puts in its foot. Gullible goans will swallow this pill and we can now expect some more priests to also hobnob with the giovernment to get such a privilege confered upon their parish feast. Slow and steady wins the race.
