[Goanet]Latest Parallel Elections News - President's Rule imminent
Vivian has resigned from the CEC Hard Core Committee and has been appointed the Governor of GoaNet by President Pandurang. In a typical scratch-your-back reaction Governor Vivian has threatened President's Rule on GoaNet if less than 10% of subscribers qualify to vote by posting something before 31st March 2004. In his maiden gubernatorial speech Governor Vivian started of with Dho Polla. To which everyone in the know replied with Dow Podla except for Merwyn who checked the Dow Jones index on JoeUK's WAP enabled mobile. For those who came in late Merwyn's makes his livelihood from 'removing phurs' from Canadian Tyres. After he has removed the phur (puncture) an even bigger phur remains, thus he is never unemployed. Vivian a former garden variety politician spoke about how we should cultivate more Mangos, Tamarinds and Cashews. He managed to get in some publicity for his brother-in-law Shenzi's Caju Feni. Opposition benches are questioning how Shenzi Feni Pvt. Ltd was waived a loan repayment of Rs. 67 lakhs by the EDC and how the GoaNet Admin Team allowed some people to blatantly publicise their commercial products while not allowing others. Gabe has resigned from the CEC Hardcore Committee and has taken up a job as an editorial consultant for a local publication. He admits he is not very conversant with Konkani having been with Stella for so many years, But I am making an effort to re-learn the language of my ancestors.. Some East Efrican GoaNetters quarters feel that Gabe is 'na faraii wazimu'. Seb has resigned from the CEC Hard Core Committee and formed the Silent GoaNetters Party (SGP). Said Seb, I speak on behalf of all silent GoaNetters. I don't see why they have to post before March 31st to vote. I oppose this unilaterine decision of the Chief Election Commissioner. In fact many of my party members have complained to me that they have been unsubscribed recently because their mail bounced. This is proof that the ruling coterie is trying to eliminate voters names from the rolls. --- excerpt from Interview with Seb. --- Gabe: What led to the differences between you and the CEC? Seb: He has the mental age of an 18 year old. Gabe: How many members do you have in your party? Seb: As of today 4927. Gabe: Can you have a show of strength? Seb: No, but I can light some fireworks if you like. Gabe: Why don't your members speak up? Seb: They are silent. I speak on their behalf. Gabe: Can we at least see them? Seb: They are faceless too. end of excerpt --- President Pandurang is currently in Shirdona attending a koino-bal tournament. This is the first time in 14 years that Chimbel has played Shirdona on their home grounds. --- excerpt from interview with President Pandurang during koino-bal match Gab: How is the game going your Excellency Pres.: Marli sheni tanchi!! Gabe: You are referring to recently appointed Governor Shenzi of GoaNet? Pres: Sheboi!! Sheboi!! Gabe: Any comments on the EDC scam Sir? Pres.: Fodat tanchem! Koloi ghal netan! Gabe: Your Honour what about Chibel-Shirdona relations? Pres: All my relations have got tickets. Gabe: You are referring to tickets to the koino-bal match? Pres: Na re papya! Election party tickets. Gabe: Would you be sad if Chimbel lost today? Pres: SOB! SOB! SOB!

[Goanet]Goa's Open Secret
Goa's Open Secret Gilbert Lawrence: Hi Fred: Nice to hear from you. I think your last post on this subject was about some Goans being defensive about their (inquisition) history. To which my humble response was that the defensiveness was on the part of the Goan writers who are unaware of the exact (details of) history and their texts. So here is their opportunity to shine and further expand on their journalism, web pages and 'research'. As you have seen on this thread, there have been a lot of statements and clichés on the inquisition in Goa with SURPRISINGLY very little facts and data to back it up. So what will it take to appeal to these individuals who have used the Goa Net and Goan cyberspace to 'lagao bhathi' and post their statistics to back-up their statements? Do you think a financial award will encourage our Khoro-Niz Goenkars to write some facts instead of fiction?:=)) I appreciate the statement that Goan journo don't have any special authority on this subject. Perhaps true! But if they write newspaper articles and help others write their web page or ads on a subject; they should have the skill to ask the hard questions prior to 'putting their pen' to their writings. Nothing should stop a Goan journo (with an inquiring mind) to respond to articles written by others about their own history. Frederick Noronha: I don't think the web and email queries can play the role of replacing serious research, as would be needed if serious about a topic such as this. Secondly, I don't think journalists would have any special skills to speak with authority on a subject such as this... unless the rare journo actually specialised in this topic (I don't know of any). FN Gilbert Lawrence wrote: Goa's Open Secret - Inquisition in Goa An Open letter! My letters to individual Goans/Indians with web-pages on the Inquisition in Goa keeps bouncing back or ignored Wonder why? To date, Teotonio and Santosh have provided some numbers.

[Goanet]RE: Inquisition
Subject: Inquisition Mervyn: I always get scared when a 'religious' man quotes his religious book, saying 'this land was given to us by God.' God is not in the business of giving and taking away land. Historically, it's always been that the strong take away the land from the weak. BTW, Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya nailed it down perfectly when he said: When the missionaries arrived, they had the Bible and we had the land. Today, it's the opposite. Gilbert responds: Who gets the land is not the religion but the one with the bayonet, gun, etc. In Africa (like else where) who got the land were not the missionaries but the soldiers and their sponsored relatives who immigrated to the new lands and perhaps produced more soldiers. ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##
[Goanet]AI, IA airfare to Gulf exhorbitant: Minister
AI, IA airfare to Gulf exhorbitant: Minister PTI [SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 2004] DUBAI : Slamming national carriers Air India and Indian Airlines for allegedly fleecing passengers in the Gulf, visiting Kerala minister for information, culture and NRIs said his state will join hands with Punjab and Andhra Pradesh to take up the issue with the Centre. Punjab sends a large number of people to the Gulf and so do other states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. As the high airfare is not an issue affecting only Kerala anymore, it is advisable to make a joint effort provided the state Cabinet approves it, M M Hassan told in a meeting organised by the Indian Media Forum here on Saturday evening. Hassan said the state will urge the Centre to open up the skies in the Gulf sector too as it has done in the far eastern and Sri Lanka sector. Though the state had scrapped air turbine fuel tax for international carriers, AI and the IA have not passed the benefit to the passengers in full, he said. Two businessmen, M B R Shetty who has set up a pharmaceutical sector in Abu Dhabi as a joint venture with UAE and M Yusuf Ali, a major shareholder in the Kochi International Airport voiced support for slashing the airfare. __ Do you Yahoo!?

[Goanet]Jews in India.
I was happy to read the contribution of Jews to the development of India. Thank you Fred, for posting this item: Many Indian Jews have reached great prominence. For example, the Sassons after whom the Sasson docks, the Sasson hospital, and two of Mumbais well known sites- the Jacob Circle, and Flora Fountain have been named. In the past years, there has been a Jewish mayor of Bombay (Dr. E. Moses), and a Jewish Chief of the Navy. In the Indian Army, Jews have reached very high posts. A General Jacobs, now the Governor of Goa, supervised the surrender of the Pakistani Army in the Liberation of Bangladesh in 1971. Maj. Gen. Samson who was awarded the Padma Bhushan, and a few other Jews reached prominence in the Indian Army. Two of India's leading literary personalities, poet Nissim Ezeickel, and cartoonist Abu Abraham are Jewish. Also the late famousHindi film actor David, and the late Sulochana the Queen of Indian Silent Films, and the actress/dancer Helen. A Dr. Erulkar was the personal physician/friend of Mahatma Gandhi. His father, also a Dr.Abraham Erulkar, donated land for the synagogue in Ahmedabad, Gujrat. Dr. Erulkar's daughter is currently the 1st lady of Cyprus, married to the President of Cyprus. Another prominent Indian Jew is Dr. Jerusha Jhirad, who was given the title of Padma Shri by the Government of India. A good book on this subject is Nathan Katz's Who Are the Jews of India?. University of California Press, November 2000. Hardcover. ISBN: 0-520213-23-8 [6][Buy at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0520213238/socculturejewish/]; If we have the Madei and Netravali Wild Life Sanctuaries in Goa, we have to thank Lt.Gen.(Retd.)J.F.R. Jacob who had the courage and the wisdom to notify them during the brief spell of President's Rule in Goa. No political party would ever be able to do it. They are not even able to undo it, united though they might be to help the mining lobby and their vote banks.We have to be thankful that the BJP under Parrikar has been able to distance itself from the mining lobby a bit...at least on this issue. I hope the BJP will also distance itself from the programmes of the mining companies at which they distribute peanuts[ like Rs.550/- per household] as compensation for damage caused by dust pollution. We are Goans, not monkeys. Let the mine owners eat peanut butter if they like. They should not feed their neighbours peanuts. In the meanwhile let us protect our Green Heritage, our rivers, our dinking water sources and our right to live with dignity.Half the money spent on the Tillari irrigation project could be better spent on protecting the Madei[ Maha Devi or Maa Devi] River form mining rejects, deforestation and laterite rubble extraction.

[Goanet]Politics and helmets
Dear netters, While the traffic cops are going soft on the 'helmet rule', it was heartening to read that a young MLA from Margao was seen wearing a helmet while watching a bullfight at dawn in Benaulim recently. Rding with a helmet is legal,watching an organized bullfight,with or without helmet, is illegal. Assuni re! ani mog assum. Can't put my finger on the archives, but I remember reading that Adv.Aires had once joined the BJP. This morning at a PMCA meeting on IFFI and the four-laning, Adv. Aires denied it and I tendered an apology if I had blundered. Had I really? It is possible. To me IFFI and four-laning of the Patto to Dona Paula road are two issues. I am in favour of the former. I do not see any reason why someone wants to go in a hurry to Mira-mar or Dona Paula.unless s/he is on a day's holiday in Goa and is missing the sunset over the Arabian Sea! Any helmet rule for the tourists is converted into a 'hafta' [ you 'have to' give]as easily as banking is converted into 'hawala'. And politicians feed us on 'hawa'. 'Promises and pie crusts are meant to be broken.' That is ancient wisdom. We do not live forever,anyway. Viva Goa. Miguel From: Cecil Pinto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet]Implement Rule - Lose elections SPELL OUT STAND ON HELMETS, CANDIDATES TOLD: The Motorcycle Action group has also demanded that the Goa government should immediately clarify its stand on the helmet rule . MAG spokesman Adv Aires Rodrigues said that the enforcing authorities should not be given any unofficial instructions on implementation of the rule . (H) Again Aires Rodrigues has made a brilliant observation. But then, on the other hand, nobody keeps their promises once they are elected.

[Goanet]National Football League: Dempo hold East Bengal goalless
Dempo hold East Bengal goalless Last Updated: March 14, 2004 19:12 IST East Bengal paid for missed chances and ill luck to finish goalless against Dempo Sports Club, Goa in the clash between the two title aspirants in the eighth National Football League match in Kolkata on Sunday. The city giants, who missed Brazilian striker Cristiano Junior, sitting out with a red card, dominated the proceedings for most part of the game and created chances galore but failed to convert any, much to the dismay of the sizeable crowd at the Salt Lake Stadium. The defending champions, however, maintained their standings at the top with 31 points from 15 matches and their three-point margin with the second placed Goans, who now have 28 points. Dempo, who had won the first leg tie 3-2, took the early initiatives and wrested midfield control to keep the hosts under pressure but failed to create positive chances during the first 20 minutes. East Bengal, on the other hand, launched their maiden foray only in the 24th minute before sweeping across the rival defence with waves of attacks during next 10 minutes, when they bagged four corners and wasted three scoring chances. Sur Kumar Singh set the tone for his side with fast overlaps down the right to feed Baichung Bhutia, Alvito D'Cunha and Mike Okoro with accurate crosses, but none were able to translate the chances into goals. With the match heading for a draw, East Bengal made a last ditch effort towards the end but proved distinctly unlucky when Okoro's deflection off a substitute Bijen Singh corner hit the post minutes before the long whistle. Earlier, Bhutia, fed by a Sur Kumar centre from the right, headed straight to rival goalkeeper Abhijit Mondal from handshaking distance in the 28th minute. In the next few minutes, D'Cunha's shot from close and narrowly missed the target while Okoro's goal-bound attempt was nullified by Mondal in brilliant fashion. But, the easiest of the chances came and went abegging in the 43rd minute. Mahesh Gawli, picked up from defence for the midfield, carried out a combination with Douglas da Silva and Debjit Ghosh before getting the ball unmarked inside the box. With the rival custodian at his mercy, Gawli had enough time and space to convert the chance but failed to trap the ball well before making an weak attempt that did not bear fruit. Dempo, despite their early aggression, could not open the East Bengal goalmouth and could only make some hopeful attempts that lacked precision or substance. Liberian striker Sunday Seah put up an unimpressive display and came to the reckoning in the 41st minute when his header inched out over the cross-piece. East Bengal's substitute goalkeeper Sandip Nandy, who came in place of injured Sangram Mukherjee, caused some tension for his side in the 87th minute as he misgripped an Alex Ambrose shot, but the ball crossed the goalline for a corner. East Bengal coach Subhas Bhowmick expressed his resentment over the missed opportunities but said he was happy with the overall performance of his wards. ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

[Goanet]SFX: Spain seeking to recover its Saint
Last week's EXPRESSO weely of Lisbon had it on p.22 that Portugal loses its saint for Spain, referring to the forthcoming plans for commemorating 500 years of the birth of St. Francis Xavier. Spain is planning large-scale commemorations of its Navarra-born saint, while there seem to be no clear ideias yet about anything of that sort happening in Portugal. Is it likely that Goans who are in direct physical contact with the basque saint, and particularly the Jesuit Historical Institute named after him, will have some major plans? Incidentally, the late Jesuit Bishop of Ahmedabad Charles Gomes (Moira-born and formerly Provincial of Goa-Pune Jesuits) has suggested that the old coffin of St. Francis Xavier (where the body was preserved till 1744 or so) be donated to the home town of the saint. The Archbishop of Navarra and and the Rector of the Castle of Xavier had made a request to this effect in 1976. The Archbishop of Goa and the Jesuits had expressed no objection, and even thought it would be a fair exchange, for Navarra letting Goa keep its Saint. The coffin is a simple pine chest of 1.65 x 0.40 x 0.55 covered with rich damascus tissue with silver linings. Golden ribbon tissue lines the border and the corners of the chest. From what I know, the request was submitted to the Home Ministry of India, and after obtaining the views of the Goa Government, it decided on May 31, 1977: The matter has been considered in consultation with the Archeological Survey of India. The coffin is not only an antiquity but also an object of veneration amongst the Christian population of India. Therefore, the Archaeological Survey of India do not favour its export. Arrangements for suitable display of the coffin within the country are under consideration. To the best of my knowledge, while I was commissioned by the Archbishop to prepare an inventory of objects to be displayed at the Rachol Museum of Sacred Art, I had an opportunity of seeing closely the coffin in question, but it was not included in the list for transfer to the Museum (now shifted to Santa Monica). I wonder where and when it will be suitably displayed. ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

Subject: [Goanet]Caju Feni, Mangoes and Tamarind Since there is bound to be a run on Caju Feni this year I am getting my hands on every bottle that I can find,and brewing some of my own Caju Feni to hoard it and sell it at a premium. Remember the label Shenzi Feni which is bound to make you wazimu (kiswahili for happy) and you can be assured that you are getting the best. All along I thought 'wazimu' meant mad, crazy.

Re: [Goanet]Hair-splitting Portuguese
Oh brother you are in big trouble! Why do you want to know how to say I love you' in Portuguese and in so many ways? Seems like you have not learnt anything from the 'Ogling Goan women' discussion. Now it appears that you are specially targeting the 1.457% of the Goan girls whose parents speak substandard Portuguese as some present day Camões pointed out. Like you I too thought that Teotonio was an internationally respected historian as well as a professor in Portugal. As for being a linguist his Professor once commented to me that it was his fluency in both languages (Portuguese and English) that gave him an edge. But it seems he did not know that like subatomic particles the verb 'casar' (which I very cautiously translate as 'to marry') has many forms so maybe its time for all of us to brush up on quantum physics. Now you be good RKN --Helga Since we're at it, could anyone tell me how to say I love you in Portuguese (a man to a woman/ a woman to man and the same sex).

The chief minister said that even though the group has been informed about the proposed website which would be launched by next week, the group still had plans to organise a meet in the city on Sunday, prior to the launch, so as to take credit for rallying behind the issue after the website was commissioned. The Chief Minister reiterated that at any given time he was ready to furnish any information on IFFI. The chief minister also flayed NGOs in general saying, They should explain their conduct first and be transparent and submit their accounts.

[Goanet]reuters.co.uk - Spain says al Qaeda claims bomb blasts - Sun 14 March, 2004 03:58 AM
Reuters News Article Spain says al Qaeda claims bomb blasts Sun 14 March, 2004 03:58 AM By Adrian Croft and Emma Ross-Thomas MADRID (Reuters) - A purported spokesman for al Qaeda has claimed responsibility in a videotaped statement for a wave of bomb attacks in Madrid that killed 200 people, overshadowing Spain's general elections. Hours earlier, Interior Minister Angel Acebes announced that five people, including some with possible links to Moroccan militants, had been arrested in the first breakthrough in the investigation of Thursday's near-simultaneous attacks on four commuter trains which also injured 1,500 people. If al Qaeda involvement is confirmed, it would be the first time the Islamic militant group has struck in the West since the attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Under outgoing Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, Spain has been a close ally of the United States, firmly supporting U.S. policy on Iraq and sending 1,300 troops there after the war. The claim of responsibility came in the videotape recovered by Spanish police from a waste paper bin on the outskirts of Madrid after a television station received a call saying the tape was there. On the tape, a man speaking in Moroccan-accented Arabic says al Qaeda launched the attacks in retaliation for Spanish cooperation with the United States and its allies. If you don't stop your injustices, more blood will flow and these attacks are very little compared with what may happen with what you call terrorism, the man said, according to a Spanish transcript provided by the Interior Ministry on Sunday. The statement referred specifically to Iraq and Afghanistan, both countries where Spain has sent troops to keep the peace. MILITARY SPOKESMAN The man noted that the Madrid blasts came exactly two-and-a-half years after the September 11 attacks. He makes the statement in the name of someone claiming to be the military spokesman of al Qaeda in Europe, Abu Dujan al Afgani, Acebes told a news conference. Acebes said the name was not known to intelligence services and that investigators were examining the tape's authenticity. The Interior Ministry did not release the video itself. Acebes said the man speaking on it wore Arab dress and had his face uncovered. At an earlier news conference Acebes said investigators had found no evidence of suicide bombers. The video was released after thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets across Spain on Saturday night demanding to know the truth behind the rail bombs, denouncing the ruling Popular Party (PP), and shouting slogans like Don't Manipulate Our Dead! The latest developments call into question the Spanish government's initial insistence that armed Basque separatist group ETA was the prime suspect behind the bombs. Acebes said on Saturday evening both lines of investigation remained open. Al Qaeda's purported involvement throws uncertainty into Spain's election on Sunday when 32.6 million people have the right to vote. Polls open at 8:00 a.m.. Opinion polls taken before Thursday's bombings had all indicated that the ruling centre-right PP would win most votes, but not necessarily retain its absolute majority. UNCERTAIN IMPACT ON ELECTION Aznar, in power since 1996, is not seeking re-election. His hand-picked heir, former deputy prime minister Mariano Rajoy, is pitted against Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, leader of the main opposition Socialist party. Political analysts said the PP stood to win votes if the culprits were ETA, because it had campaigned on its hardline stance against the armed Basque group. The effect of al Qaeda's purported involvement is more uncertain because voters might see the attacks as the price for the government's domestically unpopular support of the Iraq war. A proven al Qaeda link would also have huge global security implications. The third front has been opened. We've had America. We've had Western interests in the Third World, and now we've had Europe, said Tim Ripley, research associate at Centre of Defence and International Security Studies, University of Lancaster in Britain. Acebes announced on Saturday that Spanish authorities had arrested three Moroccans and two Indians, possibly with ties to Moroccan militants, in connection with the bombings. An Arabic language audio tape, together with detonators, was found on Thursday in a van parked near the Alcala de Henares station where three of the four bombed trains originated. Private radio station Cadena Ser, quoting sources close to the investigation, said the audio tape probably came from Egypt. There was no official confirmation. Investigators believe mobile phones were used to detonate 10 bombs hidden in backpacks on the four trains. Those arrested on Saturday were suspected of being involved in the sale and falsification of a mobile phone and SIM card found in an unexploded bomb on one of the trains, Acebes said. More than 5,000 people protested outside PP headquarters in Madrid for

Cecil has kept alive the cheer and joy on the forum. Insulting him on the forum the way you did is just not fair. It is guys like you who portray Goans as lazy crabs all over the world. In the first place, we would like to know what has been your contribution to the betterment of Goa? From what I noticed via your message, you are rather unproductive, going to the extent of misusing work facilities offered to you by your employer. It is guys like you who think they are rather smart, but who cheat the company that employs them. For a change, get back to work and be productive at your job. And if you want to criticize people like Cecil, maybe you should think a hundred times before sending out such nasty messages, which anyway should be sent in your own time, from home or elsewhere, but definitely not from the workplace.

[Goanet]Re: Latest news on GoaNet Parallel elections
Cecil is killing goats about what President Pandurang said. President Pandurang do not speak foreign English like this what Cecil speaks. Cecil wrote: In a strongly worded statement, with long term ramifications, President Pandurang today said that the GoaNet Shining campaign was against all democratic norms. President Pandurang knows no any ramifications or krishnifications. What Cecil is doing here is a shamification. Addressing a Press Conference with the Chief Election Commissioner President Pandurang said, You show me where are the 5,200 subscribers. As of today not even 300 qualify to vote. This is vote bank politics. These are sops. President Pandurang said only that bank managers are SOBs because they make politics and eat money from our account. President Pandurang said I don't know but it's a word everyone uses during election time. I suppose a sop is someone who does not participate in GoaNet discussions and just lurks around. What foreign bharati English this is? Pandurang already knows it what word SOB means. You want to know what SOB is, President's opponent in election Mr. Joao Kerkar is the biggest SOB. President Pandurang roared Let this be a warning to anyone who uses Government machinery to make such huge banners. Actually, President Pandurang said that Government machinery has rusted. It will be sold as scrap metal or exported to liberated terrororist bharati country of Shirdona.

[Goanet]Caju Feni, Mangoes and Tamarind............
The ones who are in the know, say that Cashews, Mangoes and Tamarind will be in short supply this year because Dho polla or heavy dew during the flowering season has damaged the blossoms and fewer fruits have resulted. Since there is bound to be a run on Caju Feni this year I am getting my hands on every bottle that I can find,and brewing some of my own Caju Feni to hoard it and sell it at a premium. Remember the label Shenzi Feni which is bound to make you wazimu (kiswahili for happy) and you can be assured that you are getting the best. Rumor has it that Rene and Merwyn are organizing an International Goan Convention in Goa in December 2004 to coincide with our Goemcho Saibhacho Dis, and the International Film Festival. I hope I can be appointed the exclusive supplier of Feni for this glorious event which will rival the Vishwa Gomantak Sammelan or NRI Goan Conference. Remember no party in Goa is complete and there cannot be good times without SHENZI FENI Sauud !!

If I'm not mistaken, he's a historian of international repute. Since we're at it, could anyone tell me how to say I love you in Portuguese (a man to a woman/ a woman to man and the same sex).
