But, the Church in India suffers from a case of plenty, says Remy Denis, All India Catholic Union President. Church authorities control funds equivalent to the Indian Navy’s annual budget. The Church is also the second largest employer after the government, he said. Eduardo Faleiro, a former Union minister and Goa NRI Commissioner, is among the growing number of Catholics like Prof Denis, who support a law to govern Church properties and a far greater degree of transparency in the way the Church manages its earthly assets. “The Church is not a symbol of power but service, and democratic laws must apply to it equally. All religions must be kept on the same footing,” Faleiro said at a conference called to debate the matter of bringing Church properties under state laws. The laws that govern Church properties in Goa were enacted during the Portuguese regime. The same laws have long since been repealed in Portugal, Faleiro said. Almost all other religions in India have laws enacted to administer their properties, K T Thomas, former Supreme Court judge, said. Hindu temples are governed by laws specifically enacted for each trust and their accounts are subject to judicial review. The Sikhs, one of the smallest religious groups in the country, have the Sikh Gurudwara Act. Muslim trust properties comes under the Wakf Act. “I feel the opposition from the Christians is on account of a fear that a provision for judicial scrutiny is likely to expose the expenses and magnitude of wealth of the denomination,” Thomas said. The head of the Believers Church had recently acquired a huge plantation in Kerala for Rs 123 crore. This was apart from the vast assets already held by the denomination, he said. The Church in Kerala also runs its own media network. Thomas said there was a misplaced apprehension that the Parliament, through legislation, would grab the properties of the churches. No such law could be passed by Parliament or State legislatures, he said. All religious denominations have the right to own and acquire properties, establish and maintain religious institutions. “But, in matters of administration of your properties you have to abide by the law,” he said.

This shows up in the encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI. The encyclical0 generally supports globalization, but criticizes western companies that outsource business to developing countries. This criticism has an unfortunate ethnic slant. The Pope echoes the wish of a white labour aristocracy in the West to snatch jobs and income away from much poorer but more competitive workers in Third World countries. That is repugnant in both economic and moral terms. The western argument cannot quite be called racist. Politicians and workers in the West are not all white - some are black or brown. Yet, the ethnic implications of the western protest against outsourcing cannot be ignored. The protest rarely focuses on outsourcing to white countries like Poland, Latvia or Bulgaria. It focuses overwhelmingly on outsourcing to black, brown and yellow nations. This is mainly on economic grounds - wages are lower in Asia than in Eastern Europe, and so, the scope for outsourcing is far greater. Yet, the ethnic implications cannot be ignored. The mainly white labour aristocracy of the West is clamouring to get companies to shut down jobs and production in countries with black, brown and yellow workers. This means impoverishing poor workers to subsidize the labour aristocracy. Instead of being ashamed of trying to rob the poor of jobs, the labour aristocracy talks in high moral tones, as though it has a God-given right to jobs that have actually gone entirely on merit to the Third World. For most of history, China and India were the richest countries in the world, with the most advanced technologies and best jobs. The Industrial Revolution changed that - the best jobs moved to the West, and millions of Indian textile workers were rendered unemployed by British mills. The western labour aristocracy never complained of that shift of the best jobs from the East to the West, but cannot countenance a shift in the opposite direction. One valid western objection, on both economic and moral grounds, relates to the use (mainly by China) of prison labour, forced labour and child labour to produce cheap goods for export. Such exports have largely been checked, and now constitute a negligible part of outsourcing. This objection does not apply at all to India's burgeoning exports of software or BPO, or to the shift of 80,000 IBM jobs or 35,000 Accenture jobs to India. China has become the world's biggest supplier of manufactured goods, while India has become a major exporter of computer software, back-office services and RD. This has transformed the economies of the two most populous countries in the world, made them the fastest growing in the world, and helped hundreds of millions of poor people to rise out of poverty. You might think that the Pope would hail this as a great development for humanity. Instead, he has parroted the bogus claims of the white labour aristocracy. His encyclical says, the so-called outsourcing of production can weaken the company's sense of responsibility towards the stakeholders - namely the workers, the suppliers, the consumers, the natural environment, and broader society - in favour of the shareholders, who are not tied to a specific geographical area and who, therefore, enjoy extraordinary mobility. The racial implications of this leave me dumbstruck. The Pope has posed the issue as one of stakeholders versus shareholders. But are white stakeholders the only ones that matter? When IBM shifts 80,000 jobs to India, 80,000 Indian stakeholders replace American ones. Are the rights of 80,000 Indian stakeholders any less than those of the Americans they replace? When Chinese suppliers outbid American ones in supplying hardware to IBM, are the Chinese lesser stakeholders than the Americans they replace? The Pope is simply wrong in posing outsourcing as a conflict between shareholders and stakeholders. Outsourcing merely globalizes stakeholders across the world instead of leaving them within narrow national walls. And as a believer in one world, the Pope should be encouraging this spread of stakeholders across all humanity. Shareholders are getting globalised no less

Vedi Remembering the martyrs of Kuwait - H.S. Vedi / The Times Every year we remember with pain and grief the Second of August, the day the tyrant of Baghdad caused panic and wrought destruction in this peaceful country. The martyrs who laid down their lives during the painful occupation have earned for themselves a place in the hearts of citizens and will be fondly remembered on every Aug 2. It was on this day that Iraqi forces poured across the border into Kuwait and took control of Kuwait City. As we remember our martyrs of Kuwait who fell prey to the invading Iraqi army on August 2, some 19 years ago, we see how Saddam Hussain scuttled the doors of diplomacy in his arrogance of power. I remember that horrific day when Iraqi army setting aside all norms of civilisation invaded this peaceful country, killing anyone who came on their way. They had one agenda to destroy Kuwait and despite world diplomacy, which unfolded to make Saddam see reason, they all failed. But with the blessings of the Royal family who offered full resistance while in exile Kuwait was liberated On this day, I would offer my heartfelt condolence to the Royal family, family of the martyr and to all those who with their heroic resistance stood up against Saddam forces. We also pray for the long life and good health of the Royal family so they continue to guide not only the Kuwaiti but also to the expat population who live under their shelter and umbrella. Saddam has met his nemeses but it is a lesson for a civilized world not to sunk in power and follows the law of the jungle. There is a message all nations must take on August 2.

Earlier, Curtorim MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco said that the government must immediately introduce a Bill for consideration of this House with provisions to protect agricultural land of the State of Goa from being sold to non-Goans. Goa is small state and the influx of migrants is changing the demography, Lourenco said. He said the migrant population has reached 4 to 5 lakhs already and in the coming years it could reach up to 10 lakhs or equally to the original Goan population. He said the government has to look at these things seriously.

And finally to British (East ) Africa,West Asia ( petro dollar Gulf area) and beyond ( U.K., Canada, U.S.A. , Australia and New Zealand. While in Goa the British spotted two assets: one natural (Mormugao Harbour and it connection to the hinterland Western Portuguese Railway WIP ) and the other human which was a large idle population of educated and not so , well acquainted with European life style ( read non vegetarian food) and hence mostly Goan ABC staff in British households in India followed by 2nd and 3rd generation clerks)' Antonio responds: I fully agree with what Valmiki has written ecept when he writes a large idle population of educated and not so ''' It somehow gives the impression that Goans who migrated to India were 90% educated and 10% illiterate whereas in reality it was the other way around i.e. 90% illiterate and 10% literate. The latter were mostly from the so called high castes fellas who were educated inthe parochial schools.. Thanks to the Grande Patriarca Portugues das Indias Orientais and his sacerdotal assistants comprising of the highest caste made by the Indian God, the illiterate Goan catholics were more at home with Jezu, Jezu than with A,B,C, and 1,2,3, The Goan catholic church may not have been entirely wrong in denying education to poor Goan catholics.

In a visual task, carried out by Helen Stancey at Hammersmith West London College, men and women used a laser pointer to mark the midpoint of lines on a piece of paper within hands-reach and again beyond hands-reach. The place where the 24 women and 24 men pointed to was marked, and the distance from their mark to the actual midpoint was measured to judge their accuracy. Men were found to be more accurate than women at marking the middle of lines when the target was far away than when it was close by. However, women showed the opposite pattern; they were more accurate at finding the mid-point of the line when the target was close to them than when it was further away. 'Evidence already exists that separate pathways in the brain process visual information from near and far space. Our results suggest that the near pathway is favoured in women and the far pathway is favoured in men, said Stancey. 'These sex differences in visual processing may be a result of our hunter-gatherer evolutionary legacy. As the predominant gatherers, women would have needed to work well in near space, whereas the prey for (predominantly male) hunters would have been in far space,' added Stancey. In a second study, participants were asked to do the same task, but were asked to point to the mid-point using a stick rather than a laser pointer. In this study, no significant differences between near and far accuracy were found in either men or women, suggesting that the stick provides feedback which makes the brain process distant information as if it's in near space. Women were found to be significantly better than men at both distances using the stick, which supports the earlier finding that women process visual information better from near space than men. These findings were published online Thursday in the British Journal of Psychology. Indo Asian News Service

Obama will change the US medical structure, this year, to allow US residents to catch up with the socialist medical facilities every industrial nation offers today. Obama has no choice. The cost of providing medical coverage to their employees is so high today that US capital would rather invest outside the US, so as to take advantage of the medical coverage provided by foreign govts. GM (Government Motors) is a prime reflection of the medical and retirement challenges that US industry faces today. Secondly, Obama is hell bent on cutting the cost of US medical services. He insists that he is going to cut costs by converting all medical records into an electronic format, allowing for easy access by all medical providers. There is a lot of money to be made from this conversion! I already have my fingers in the pie and am sure that Dr. Marlon, Dr. Eric (yes, he with the chilled beers) and every other astute investor has circled out the companies that are going to benefit from this, once in a generation, change.

But, the Church in India suffers from a case of plenty, says Remy Denis, All India Catholic Union President. Church authorities control funds equivalent to the Indian Navy’s annual budget. The Church is also the second largest employer after the government, he said. Eduardo Faleiro, a former Union minister and Goa NRI Commissioner, is among the growing number of Catholics like Prof Denis, who support a law to govern Church properties and a far greater degree of transparency in the way the Church manages its earthly assets. “The Church is not a symbol of power but service, and democratic laws must apply to it equally. All religions must be kept on the same footing,” Faleiro said at a conference called to debate the matter of bringing Church properties under state laws. The laws that govern Church properties in Goa were enacted during the Portuguese regime. The same laws have long since been repealed in Portugal, Faleiro said. Almost all other religions in India have laws enacted to administer their properties, K T Thomas, former Supreme Court judge, said. Hindu temples are governed by laws specifically enacted for each trust and their accounts are subject to judicial review. The Sikhs, one of the smallest religious groups in the country, have the Sikh Gurudwara Act. Muslim trust properties comes under the Wakf Act. “I feel the opposition from the Christians is on account of a fear that a provision for judicial scrutiny is likely to expose the expenses and magnitude of wealth of the denomination,” Thomas said. The head of the Believers Church had recently acquired a huge plantation in Kerala for Rs 123 crore. This was apart from the vast assets already held by the denomination, he said. The Church in Kerala also runs its own media network. Thomas said there was a misplaced apprehension that the Parliament, through legislation, would grab the properties of the churches. No such law could be passed by Parliament or State legislatures, he said. All religious denominations have the right to own and acquire properties, establish and maintain religious institutions. “But, in matters of administration of your properties you have to abide by the law,” he said.

The villagers decided to take law into their own hands after accusing different government agencies of failing to support the Uguem panchayat in its efforts to stop the construction. After reading a report in the 'Herald', a group of villagers rushed to the panchayat to seek more details into the incident. The villagers along with Sarpanch Madhavi Shiddikar and Deputy Sarpanch Xavier Furtado later went to the construction site in the evening and asked the Yelgulkar family to stop the construction work, failing which they would face the wrath of the public. Among others who were present at the site were Panchayat Secretary John Fernandes, Panchayat members Anil Zangale and Subhash Gaonkar. Heated arguments prevailed for some time when one member of the Yegulkar family, refused to accede to the wishes of the panchayat and the villagers. A local, Josico Pereira, however intervened in the matter and managed to cam the frayed tempers. The Yelgulkar family later agreed to stop the construction work and also agreed to reply to the panchayat notice and submit the relevant documents. How is it that South Goa Collector G P Naik allocated a plot under the 20-point programme to the Non-Goan family in February 2009, when in fact the allocation of housing plots under that scheme had stopped some ten years ago, asked Panch Anil Zangale. Incidentally, some Uguem panchayat members were also furious over the attitude of other government agencies, accusing them of being sympathetic to the Yegulkar family. Despite receiving a Gram Sabha resolution to withdraw the Sanad issued to the Yegulkar family as well as a copy of the notice served by the panchayat to the family, the Sanguem BDO did not favourably advice the panchayat body, complained one panch. The Panchayat then requested the Quepem deputy collector for police protection to stop the illegal construction, but the deputy collector failed to pass the necessary orders on the application moved by the panchayat. On the contrary, the deputy collector asked the panchayat to first issue a demolition order and then approach him for police protection, the panch added. If not for public action, the Non-Goan family would have got about a week's time to complete the illegal construction, before receiving the demolition notice. http://www.oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=25387cid=26 VIVA GOA -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.

I have not read the Herald Article. But I have a hunch that either St. Paul or Teotonio is being quoted out of context in relation to the education of the poor in Goa during Portuguese time. Clarification welcome. If one seeks to employ cooks, butlers, ayahs and nannies, why would one recruit educated individuals (men)? Was the education of Goans in the nineteenth century to do with caste or gender? Be it in Europe or India, education for better or worse, was a commodity expended on males than females. To me, it appears the British recruited the Indians who were best suited for the job-at-hand ... naturally. Their sepoys were Gurkha, Sikhs and other ethnic Hindus with in-bred fighting skills. India provided Britain with 670,000 men for World War I and contributed two-and-a half million men for World War II. This was two-and-half times the contribution of Australia and four times the contribution of Canada. Regards, GL - Antonio Menezes write: The Goan catholic church may not have been entirely wrong in denying education to poor Goan catholics. Teotonio R.De Souza writing on Medieval Goa (Herald Aug 1) quotes St. Paul writing to Romans ''Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei --- Do not destroy God's work for the sake of food.'' - By Valmiki Faleiro Retreating officers recruited 3,300 Goan sailors for the Royal Navy, a few thousand as clerks, and a few more thousand as cooks, butlers, ayahs and nannies. Rudyard Kipling, who spent his childhood in Bombay, was later to reminiscence, My ayah was Portuguese Roman catholic, who would pray, I beside her, at a wayside cross.

RESPONSE: Without seeking to diminish the sacrifices of Indians in the two large wars of the 20th century, I dont think it is appropriate to state India's contribution of fighting forces in plain numerical terms. A comparison of troops contributed and casualties incurred to the populations in each country perhaps will indicate many countries with smaller populations endured a fair share of the casualties - military and civilian. I am intrigued to learn of Goans who fought in past wars in various countries and are enlisted in the Indian armed forces in contemporary times. More on this another time. - B References: (1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties (2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties

It is reported that more than 30 million cases are pending in the Courts and the National Human Rights Commission receives more than 75,000 complaints a year. We have honour killings, Vigilante mobs Justice, caste conflicts and Panchayats awarding death sentences. Amartya Sen reviewing his recent book The Idea of Justice says analysis of justice has to pay attention to the lives that the people are actually able to lead, rather than concentrating only on the nature of just institutions...Democracy can be seen as Government by Discussion. Below are my comments, and at the Round Table on The Police Bill held on 18th July 2009 in Panaji, a cross section of citizens from all walks of life from all over Goa gave their practical views with concrete examples of where the lacunae exists and some dangerously not in public interest. For example: People's democratically peaceful dissent cannot be legitimate for a Law and Order crackdown. I trust the Minutes will find its way to those finalising the Bill. The drafts Bill has eleven chapters and let us very briefly review the Draft Bill. Chapter 1- Short title, Extent, Commencement and Definitions: a) There is a big problem right at the beginning, in the Act's commencement, if it ever does commence in toto! The Bill says it will come into force on the date notified in the Official Gazette, however different dates may be there for different provisions of the Act! Then will follow the Rules without which the Act cannot be implemented. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR AN URGENTLY NEEDED AND LONG OVERDUE ACT. b) Cattle are defined as cows, buffaloes, elephants, camels, sheep, goats, swine, asses and also mules. No Leopards, dogs etc. Section77 (2) deals with cruelty to animals. So why is Cattle needed to be defined away from animals? Incidentally 77 (2) (ii) says:Any person who wantonly beats, abuses or tortures any animal will be fined not less than Rs10/- (and not more than Rs50/-) for first offence! c) I do not understand why militant activity has to be only with explosives and only terrorist activity includes terror to society. They may also have other than political objectives? d) Police Officer is any member of the police service, as against Police Personnel which also include police officers! Overlapping, so all members of the force can be considered as officers? Chapter 2-Constitution and Organisation of Police Service The important terms of office of key police functionaries are laid down as two years and exceptions to transfer before two years are also laid down, as are powers of a District Magistrate. Section 12 states that there shall be a State Intelligence and Criminal Investigation Department whichI could not find specifically in accordance with chapter five (see below). Chapter 3- Control, Supervision and Direction of Police Force Things to note are Section21 which categorically states: The powers of superintendence over the police service in all matters shall vest with the State. There is Police Range (not defined in Definitions) and Police District. The DG is appointed on Central government orders by the State government, which appoints the Police Range Officers under the DG. Chapter 4- STATE POLICE COMMISSION AND PANEL FOR SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT MEMBERS This is the most important section where politics must be firmly kept out for non interference by politicians. This is not done for the Act states that the Home Minister will be the Chairman of the State Police Commission. This means he will be advising himself! The Chairman for selection panel of independent members is the Chief Minister! This means independent members will be chosen for towing the government line. Transfers of DySP and above also cannot be done without government approval! Chapter 5- Functions, Duties and Responsibilities of Police Officers It is necessary to add a Para on helping/guiding public in choosing appropriate police station and settle matter of jurisdiction on the spot for the convenience of the public. Complaints should be permitted at the nearest Police Station for quick action. Like all

What was surprising was to read this claim: SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN: Mauvin is that rare politician in Goa who does not depend on politics for his bread and butter. He entered public life after proving himself to be a successful businessman with Goa Laminators. Since then he has diversified and is today into ship-repairs and shipbuilding and also agriculture. His farm at Sal in Bicholim is a treat to the weary eye for not only its well-planned orchards but also the yield the various trees there give. For him, business suffers due to his political activities as the latter takes priority. Proof of this lies in the fact that his business grew manifold when he was not representing the Cortalim constituency and today when opportunities are knocking at his door for further diversifying, he does not have the time to grab them.

In a month where the UK is experiencing an unsettled weather, the festival got off to a promising start. Around 5,000 goans attended the festival. The GOA festival was first held in 1983. It is the brain child of Marcus DSouza, who conceived the event with a vision to unite all the Goan associations and clubs functioning here. The festival is becoming quite popular, with more and more people attending the festival over the years. The festival included Goan cultural programmes, besides popular song and dance programmes by the Konkani Dramatists Association and Goan Cultural Society. Night Lite provided some good music. The festival also offered a variety of stalls.

Is it an identity one is born with and like Caste,one can never shake off nor can anyone else aspire to this ultra exclusive club ?? Until 1510 or thereabouts I dont believe that there was a geographical location called Goa. With the coming of the Portuguese a new geographical entity came into being called India Portuguesa, later linked with some location within that entity called Gomantak and later Goa. Prior to that, waves of settlers including the Saraswats settled this fair land previously occupied by the indigeneous tribes. In time all these folks came to be collectively known as Goans. Portuguese occupation halted in-migration for many decades and perhaps cemented our identity as Goans. After Liberation we are seeing a continuance of the natural human migratory pattern. Throughout the history of mankind, in every continent, humans have migrated in search of a better life, better pasture, access to arable land, access to water better economic conditions etc. The influx of people from Karnataka, Bihar, Orissa etc. into Goa is part of the natural migration of mankind. Will they ever qualify to call themselves Goans ? If so, after how long ? Many if not most of them have acquired fluency in Konkani. I bet that hearing their offspring speak in Konkani, one cannot differentiate them from native Goans. As far as I am concerned, they are Goans. Being of Goan parentage but born abroad, I decided a few years ago to come and spend my Golden years in Goa. I remember with considerable angst being referred as Tu Bhaillo murre ? when I went to apply for a drivers license. Are Goans so prejudiced that we cannot accept new comers in our midst ? On the other side of the coin, when Goans migrate to other countries they proudly call themselves Canadian, American, British, French, Kenyan or whatever citizenship they acquire. It is time that we accord the same treatment to settlers in our midst.

Parrikar Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 9:00 PM Subject: Farmers show the way For once the public meeting at Lohia Maidan, Margao had a 'Gauntti' touch to it. Going by the success of the public meeting Digu bab may well watch out for the rising anger and frustration in the Goan people. There was widespread relief that the regular star hypocrite speakers were missing from the public platform of Goenchea Xetkarancho Ekvott. The 1500 strong public, largely from the farming community, showed that there is no need for the presence of regular star speakers or dharma gurus on stage to ensure the success of the meeting. Ordinary farmers proved that they are far more capable of handling public meetings and entertaining the crowds. The activists who gave just the minimum back up to the farmers to handle this public meeting without being seen in the forefront definitely deserve our praise. This is what empowerment of the marginalised sections really means. What was spoken came from the heart and therefore touched the core of everyone's conscience. Farmer after f armer described their joys of farming and the disaster caused by the government's development programs. What the public was given to hear was not from those sympathetic voices who live in ivory towers of the towns and cities and descend on public platforms to entertain the public with mere rethoric. The stuff one got to hear was not from those elites who take a day off from wining and dining with the establishment just to sermonise on how much they love Goa. If this momentum of empowerment is maintained and the farmers manage to recognise the crooks and keep the veteran pranksters at bay, there definitely exists some promise for the future of Goa. We only hope and pray that Goenchea Xetakrancho Ekvott does not meet the same fate as the GBA. -Soter D'Souza
[Goanet] OBIT: Leela Naidu personified grace and beauty

Please contact: contac...@sangath.com or yvo...@sangath.com or ph+91-9881499458 http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-July/180028.html Leela Naidu personified grace and beauty Bharati Dubey, TNN 29 July 2009, 02:24am IST MUMBAI: Leela Naidu, once listed by Vogue as one of the 10 most beautiful women in the world, passed away at her Colaba residence on Tuesday night. She was 69. A close family friend of the actress told TOI that Naidu was down with fever for some days. Last night, one of her domestic staff gave her porridge,'' he said. She had a few spoons, after which she went to sleep. A little later, one of her paying guests who came to check on her found her dead.'' The funeral at Chandanwadi was attended by her daughter, grandson and friends. Film publicist Piroj Wadia, who knew Naidu for nearly nine years, said the actress had descended into loneliness after her second husband, the late litterateur Dom Moraes, left her. People too abandoned her after that,'' she said. But although she was almost a recluse, she was completely clued in to events around her. After the 26/11 attack, she didn't celebrate any festival or event for the rest of the year. She said she didn't feel like doing anything.'' Naidu's entry into films was serendipitous. Director Hrishikesh Mukherji chanced upon her pictures taken by Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay and declared that he had found his Anuradha, the protagonist of his eponymous 1960 film. Naidu played a woman who has to sacrifice her musical talent when life with her doctor husband (Balraj Sahni) takes her to a village. The film came a cropper at the box-office but went on win the national award for the best film and a nomination for the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1961. Naidu did not have a huge body of work as an actress but she did some momentous films__the 1963 Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke, for instance, was based on the celebrated Nanavati court case involving Kawas Manekshaw Nanavati, who was tried for shooting dead Prem Ahuja, his wife Sylvia's paramour. The incident shocked the nation, got unprecedented media coverage and inspired several books and movies. The case was not only the last jury trial held in India but also a direct cause of the abolition of jury trials. Naidu's extraordinary half-French half-Indian looks, which had won her the Miss India title in 1954, got her a role in Merchant Ivory's The Householder opposite Shashi Kapoor. After just a few films, however, she opted for matrimony over a movie career and settled down with Tiki Oberoi of the Oberoi hotel group. Naidu returned to films with Shyam Benegal's Trikaal in the late 1980s. I had directed her before that for a Finlays fabric commercial,'' said Benegal. She was most incredibly gorgeous woman and an absolutely wonderful human being.'' Writer John Mathew, who knew Leela for over two decades, recalls her as a `conversationalist'. We could discuss anything under the sun with her,'' he said. She was a fantastic host__I remember she learnt how to cook pork from her Catholic neighbours and made it for us.'' Journalist Jerry Pinto, who has written a book on Naidu, described her as a lady with grace and impeccable manners despite stories to the contrary about her. She was a tough lady,'' he recalled. I remember when her house was being was repaired, she kept calling the BMC and even spoke to the workers with equal politeness.'' Jerry completely denied that Naidu was lonely. Just because she was confined to a room does not mean that she was cut off,'' he said. The world came to her. She did not throw her life away. She did a lot of work, which not many people know. She produced a documentary film by Kumar Shahani. When she was in Hong Kong, she produced radio programmes, which were even banned after she spoke against the government. She even dubbed for Hong Kong films. She was like a butterfly at a buffet and wanted to try everything.'' In Dom Moraes's memoirs Never At Home, there are several passages devoted to Leela Naidu whom he described as ineffably beautiful''. Theirs was not an easy relationship. My temper was short. My drinking deep. I knew Leela was miserable,'' he wrote of their time in London. She often accompanied him on his travels including those in Naxalite Bengal and when he went to interview Jiddu Krishnamurti. According to Leela, the philosopher laid a hand on Francis's (Dom's son) head and his nosebleed stopped. Dom and Leela had known each other as children and

What is remarkable is that Chongkham Sanjit did not run. He looks dignified in the pictures. The State of Manipur (believe Manmohan Singh's constituency is in this state) will never be able to say that he was evading arrest--if he had ran or was carrying a gun, etc. In Mumbai, I heard that either a gun would be slapped into the hand of the person to be eliminated (the encounters); pushed forward from the jeep and told to walk, or just told to walk/run without a weapon being slapped on the person and then shot. In this case as the commandos moved in Sanjit appeared outwardly calm. They did not even immediately close his eyelids! At least one must be granted that dignity. My earlier point about being apolitical (ref: GBA) is very much possible, but it is stilll the strategic responsibility of the activist group to lay out the pros and cons of political parties, as well as get them to spell out their specific positions. Not to abnegate their moral position. So when betrayal takes place, the people remember, and make attempts to amend their decision in the next round. This is work, awareness and a desire for change. The weak have to shape up is all one can really say. The next party may also betray, but then one hopes that the people are willing to vote afresh those who they believe are for the public interest. Btw, for my final year at JJ Applied Art, studied design for social issues--so for my final project researched torture, prisoners of conscience, women prisoners, etc. Also see this blog on Maipur: http://manipurcomments.com/ http://manipurcomments.com/indias-forgotten-war/ But extra-judicial executions are something only a few like Sanjit could perhaps factor into their lives and existence. venantius _ From: J.

It is a very bad reputation for Goans. People go from one country to another to support themselves and this little girl is no different than us. Why such abuse?

IANS Posted Saturday, Aug 01 19:40:59, 2009 Fiona Mackeown, mother of slain British teenager Scarlett Keeling, was paid nearly 15,000 pounds by Channel 4 for selling exclusive television rights to report on her daughter's killing in Goa and its sorry aftermath, according to e-mails hacked from her lawyer Vikram Varma's account and anonymously posted on the Internet. Scarlett's death, the subsequent attempts by the police here to hush up the case and Fiona's struggle for justice have now been published on wikileaks.org, a website from the wikipedia.org family which publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive documents. The anonymous post In Goa we trust: the murder-cover up of British school girl Scarlett Keeling, files, 2008 was uploaded on July 5. It contains over 1,000 pages of e-mails hacked from Varma's mail box including the lawyer's initial proposal to one Adam from Channel 4 and a final copy of the draft between the news channel and Fiona. Your channel would contribute a sum of 17,500 pounds towards her personal account in the name of Fiona Mackeown by cheque. Besides the above, your channel would bear all travel expenses for my client her family and Dakini Runningbear from the day your channel begins filming and till the last day of filming, the first draft of Varma's letter states. The sum later agreed upon was 15,000 pounds, says the website. In return for the money, Varma has said that her client would allow the channel to film the collection of Scarlett's body from Goa, transporting the body from India to Britain, the burial, the flying back with Fiona Mackeown, her family and Runningbear from London to Goa for the follow-up action in her struggle for justice, accompanying my client for visits to the courts and the police stations in this struggle for justice, among other occasions. The anonymous post also contains photos of Scarlett Keeling's autopsy, a host of statements recorded by the police, case details, and photos of the suspect in the Keeling murder Samson D'Souza. Varma confirmed to IANS Saturday that his e-mail account had been hacked by those who want to weaken the prosecution case in Scarlett's murder. It's a fruitless shot. It's an effort to jeoparadise the case. This has been done by those who want to prove that Fiona is a careless mother, Varma said, claiming some of the uploaded content had been tampered with. This is not related to national security or some serious security matter. There is nothing in my mail which is objectionable. These are just private conversations with my friends. I am surprised why wikileaks is interested in this content, Varma said. Scarlett was found dead at Anjuna beach in February last year. After efforts by the police and the health authorities to pass it off as an accident, the murder was exposed by Fiona with the help of the media. The state government was forced to rope in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe the case. Two people have been arrested. They are currently out on bail.

They are completely forbidden to kill any snakes they encounter in or outside the house. We regularly have snakes falling from the roof. I merely pick up a broom and gently sweep them into the garden. The bais are amazed that we don't do what everyone does - which is batter them to death on sight. They should have seen us five years ago when we had our first encounter with a snake in Goa. Mother and I were chatting with a visitor from Mumbai when we suddenly saw a snake on the floor. With one accord, visitor and all, we leapt on the sofa together and shrieked. I climbed over assorted furniture, never touching a foot to the floor and got to the phone. I begged the man from Green Rescue to save us. The snake meanwhile dived under a trunk. Our saviour arrived on a bicycle. He looked about thirteen years old and was covered in pimples. He strolled into the house, found the snake, picked it up and put it in his pocket. Then he strolled out again, whistling - leaving three very stunned and sheepish people standing on the sofa. It had been a harmless grass snake. The first monsoon I spent in Moira, we hadn't finished the work on the house. The cupboards were without doors and many of the windows had nothing but grills on them. I had just accepted a work assignment in Mumbai and my Goa friends gave me a 'good luck' dinner where the wine flowed freely. I stumbled into the house late at night to be greeted by hysterical dogs. They were barking and jumping up and down and frantically signaling that something was wrong. In my fuddled state, I just chucked them out of the bedroom and locked the door. I woke the next morning to find that a lot of things from my cupboard were lying on the floor. I picked them up and threw them back in, and was turning away when I suddenly thought 'uh oh - that shelf has eyes'. Not just eyes, but one large bulging coil. I could tell from the markings that it was a python. Frantic calls to Green Rescue produced a teenager with dreadlocks, our pimpled friend, and one assistant. The python had his cozy snooze rudely interrupted. Irritated, he uncoiled his entire length and my heart stopped. He was twenty foot long and fat around the middle. The youngest assistant took one look and dived out of the door. The dogs squeaked and vanished. The two rescuers struggled to get the snake under control. He was one long length of pure powerful muscle. Finally they wrestled him into a sack and carried him off to release him in the forest. What a story I had to tell at my first day of work in Mumbai! I made up my mind that I had to start recognizing the snakes of Goa if I was not going to die young of heart failure. There are only three poisonous snakes in Goa - the cobra, the common krait, and the Russells viper. Buy Rahul's book - 'The Call of the Snake' - and you can learn to recognize them in no time. The harmless ones are easily dealt with - just sweep them off into the garden. For the poisonous ones there is always Green Rescue or Rahul Alvares. The book also tells you how to snake proof your house, if you don't have my casual attitude to living with them. In the last six months I have dealt with eight snakes. Most of them we found sitting bewildered in the middle of the living room floor. The living room roof obviously houses a nest, but I am loath to remove it. They are all harmless grass snakes and I really don't mind sharing my space with them. Scorpions are another matter. But then again, scorpions are what first convinced me that I had to learn to live with all the creepy crawlies that would wander into my life. New to Goa, unused to dealing with things with more than two legs, when I found a huge six inch scorpion on the floor I fetched a broom and whacked it. The scorpion cringed back and raised its two front legs to ward off the blows. Futilely it tried to save itself from the broom. I stopped, unable to continue hitting it, shaken by the thought that this creature too wanted to live. But by that time the scorpions back was broken. I gritted my teeth and delivered the death blow - and swore that no creature would ever be killed in my house again. A few

Moratorium on Goa's mining is the need of the hour. Goa's mining has profitted the Portuguese. But more than that Goa's mining has profitted the mine owners who have made or broken every peoples' government in Goa since 1961 to their advantage. The people of Goa need to take that advantage away from them once and for all. Without mining crores pouring into the electoral system, Goa's people who are sincerely voicing their concern and wanting the reign of 'good governance' to be introduced to open the eyes all around so that they may see what Goa and Goans have been missing all these decades. I have gone on record to say that each and every street, road, lane and by-lane of Goa will be paved in GOLD if only we help open the reign of 'real - effective - good governance' in Goa and not just the lip service, where an element of a little self-sacrifice is involved on the part of the rulers. Of late, we see the element of self-sacrifice on the part of our rulers vis a vis the proposed hike in the take home salaries and perks of our present and ex MLAs. A short while ago we have also seen to what extent ministers have even purchased LCD TVs, sofas, curtains, even spoons and koitas for themselves at the cost of the poor, harrassed, and extorted tax payer who does not have a voice but the command - ' DO OR DIE. You are late by one day to pay the telephone bill and your phone gets disconnected. You complain about your electricity bill running ahead of itself by leaps and bounds. But while you are in the process of bringing this to the notice of the electricity department, your line gets cut off. All in all those who are unfortunate to get themselves into the Panchayats, Municipalities and ultimately in the Assembly are suckers. That is why, my dear Ashley, I want to do anything and everything to get myself elected so that I, in the fag-end of my life, may taste the fruits of other people's toils. A question!
