I am not supposed to tell you what I do for the poor and the needy because Jesus himself has said let not your right hand know what the left hand is doing. You seems to be short sighted and cannot understand the basic meaning of truth. When the church undertakes collections which goes to Caritas it is the duty of thechurch to do charity to the needy.

One thing the TA can do is to produce tiatrs on its own. There are many people like me who can write tiatrs but lack in producing them on the stage. Like wise there are many young and talented actors who want to act but do not have opportunities coming to them. So Ta could organise such tiatrs. Script could be collected and edited if required and artist could be selected both amaeteurs and professionals and the same could be staged in the main cities of Goa. The profit could go to the TA. Hope someone pays attention to it. I hope I am clear _ News, views and inimitable perspectives – On MSN India, you get an all-round view of things that matter. http://in.msn.com

* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible Not to worry, Marshall, the 'one and only' priya would have found a way, much like she found her way back to the family mansion after dumping the pious Marxist, Firoze, soon after independence. She was her father's hostess, but it was never his intention to create a family succession, something made very clear to us when he placed Lal Bahadur in his own office. The 'Shastri', learned-man, had insisted on 'minister without portfolio' for a title. Indu conned her way to a LBS succession by posing as a pliable stop-gap, as the state bosses wrestled with the problem posed by a defiant Morarjee. That rotter was widely despised for the greed that saw his son's name used synonymously with graft - do you remember it ? Kamraj, the patriot, and nemesis of both the KGB as well as Swiss banks, was the obvious choice for most, but fate was to decide otherwise. After years of turpor, we smelt hope in the ashes, in the form of a Sam Manekshaw coup, but he was too much of a King's ribbon : it took Sikh bullets to restore real independence, again. Another pointer for you as you ponder and wonder : I discovered from the Parsee General's recent obit that his two daughters had married a Ginwalla and a Batliwalla. Did he give up on the Parsee peg !! eric. What’s in a name? In a lighter vein, I was just wondering what would have been the future of India’s ‘first family’ had Indira married say a Firoze Batliwalla or Daruwalla or Treasurywalla. Would Indira and her heirs have enjoyed the same adulation, power and aura that they command today? Just a thought. Regards, Marshall

[Goanet] political opportunism of the Congress leaders
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible I was never a big fan of NDTV nor am I now. But it looks like Arvind is trying to crucify an NDTV reporter for a forgettable slip. A number of times in the past I felt very strongly about NDTV reporting. But that was because I thought the reports were not objective. Many on many occasions clearly said so. Never mind I was not one of them. If anything all Goans should register their protest on the way the govt's self-aggrandising and questionable disbursement of aid to the genuine victims of the recent Canacona floods. The political opportunism of some Congress leaders and the CMs indecision is deplorable in this testing times. Goan solidarity is the need of the hour but let us not waste it on trifles.

[Goanet] Fwd: Gina's eulogy
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible Dear friends, We returned last night from burying Gina Braganza in her home town of Hyderabad. It has been a harrowing few days. The service in Bangalore, prior to going on to Hyderabad, was something I have never seen before. The Holy Cross church is very large with arrangement to seat six hundred. But that day there were well-over a thousand! They filled every nook and corner of the church and its balconies, and overflowed out into the yard. There were people of every creed and age. I even saw a few in the black Muslim hijab which was startling (and very beautiful) when one considers the area in which Gina worked. Gina was such a joy in life, and she had spread that joy wider than any of us, including her husband Carlton, had imagined. News of her death has been carried widely in the local newspapers. The Times of India in Bangalore ran a beautiful and emotional report on Gina and her life and work. Here is the link : http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Thank-you-for-the-music/articleshow/5087520.cmsI was asked by the family to deliver an eulogy to Gina at the service in Bangalore.I am attaching what I said.I still find it hard to accept that we will never see Gina again. She brought somuch to our lives. For once, the phrase "she has left a void that could never befilled" is not the cliche it often becomes.Best - SP--STANLEY PINTOORATION FOR GINA AT HER FUNERAL SERVICE04 October 2009___I stand here in the house of God, before his sanctified altar, and a thousandquestions course through my mind. One of them I want to shout out loud: What is thisthing called Life? What is it about? What is the point of the miracle of grantingit, when what may one day follow that beautiful miracle is this awful,heart-rending, catastrophic snatching away of it?Thy Will be done, we say. Thy Will be done. Of course, it will be done, because youare all-powerf ul. Omnipotent. But are you not also all-knowing . . . omniscient?Did you not know that in this world of burgeoning mediocrity, where millions walkthrough leaving barely a trace of having ever been here, the life of one who made itall worthwhile for so many of us had be protected at all costs?Could you not see that a world without her is a world so impoverished, so shorn ofthe fine lustre she brought to everything she did, that it couldn't possibly be theworld you had in mind on that long ago creation day?What in heaven's name were you thinking when you took your all-seeing eye off thiswonderful child, at that one inexplicable moment of silly playfulness?Why could your palm, in which you held her so safely during her short and oh sobeautiful life, not protect her when she walked out over its edge?So many questions. But there are no easy answers. Perhaps there will never be.What there is, is a hole in a skylight through which our Gina . . . flew away. Sweetbird of a youth th at she rekindled and revived in me every time she walked herradiant smile into a room.Dear Gina. We'll miss you . . . how we will miss you.

[Goanet] Ministry of Feni
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible Ministry of Feni Drinking to create awareness By Cecil Pinto "Good evening folks. This is your host Cecil Pinto reporting almost-live for Goa-World.Com from Campal Parade Grounds. I'm covering the second General Body Meeting of the newly convened Ministry of Feni. There's lots of action around. Distillers and bottlers have put up stalls where drinkers can sample their products. On stage is a presentation on Feni Cocktails. Later today a debate will be held on Glass and Ceramic v/s Wooden Barrels for storing Caju Feni." "Caju aficionados of varied vintages and at different levels of intoxication are all over the place engaged in animated discussions. I spot the editor of a local English daily, an architecture professor, an expert on urban anthropology, a graphic artist, a fashion designer, a pop star. Everyone seems to have latched on to the Joy of Feni." "Excuse me Sir. What is this magazine some of you are carrying?" "This is not a magazine. It is a report - Geographical Indications and Localisation: A Case Study of Feni by Dr. Dwijen Rangnekar of the University of Warwick. It is an exhaustive and path breaking document that brings together knowledge of Feni from various resources in a comprehensive way that has never been done before. This is the defining work on Feni." "In fact the Ministry of Feni, MoF as it will shortly be called, is a semi-official club of Caju Feni aficionados who will act as a pressure group on distillers, bottlers and retailers to ensure that we get quality Feni at competitive prices." "MoFs as we call ourselves, no you cannot drop the 'o', are hardened adventurers who have spent most of our adult years in search of the Elixir of the Gods - the perfect Caju Feni. During urrack season we scour the countryside, with jerry cans and hydrometers, investigating the product of different distillers to sniff out the one with the perfect taste, bouquet and 'grau'. We hope that this translates into good Feni and if it doesn't we move on to the next 'bhatti'. The rest of the year we follow up leads to check out bars over the length and breadth of North Goa to find someone who stocks the perfect Feni." "Why don't you do South Goa?" "South Goa knows jack squat about making good Caju Feni!" "When we find a perfect batch of Feni we drink it in copious amounts and buy as much as we can afford and store. We keep our findings and our suppliers secret from non-MoFs. When we hear about or discuss a unique batch of Feni that someone has discovered we actually froth at the mouth. The Konkani word for froth is 'feno'. That's how Feni gets its name." "What about the organizational structure?" "At our very first meeting we used the 'lots' system for election. We had lots and lots of Feni and unanimously elected Dr. Rangnekar as the President in honour of his pioneering work. His tenure lasted exactly seven minutes. In his opening address he mentioned that certain bottlers blend Feni from different distilleries. For even uttering such a sacrilegious thought he was immediately thrown out if his post and now is an ordinary member but can use the title Immediate Past and Founding President on his visiting card." "But even Scotch Whiskey is mostly blended." "We don't care for Scotch. Feni is never mixed with another Feni. Period. We boycott all people who attempt such nonsense! " "What's this about MILF?" "Not MILF, it's IMFL - Indian Made Foreign Liquor. Feni has to be deemed on par with IMFL and not treated as a 'country liquor' so that not only tavernas, but all bars can then sell it legally. We also demand that all bars keep a minimum of five different Caju Fenis - two branded and three local with different strengths and prices. If a MoF finds any establishment stocking more varieties of whiskey than of Feni the establishment will be boycotted." "What about Palm Feni?" "That the South Goans can figure out how to improve.

There is nothing in having a constitution provided all concerned are party to it or atleast involved in forming it. Mario responds: So, what's your point? Goa was under occupation by the Portuguese invaders, who had to be ejected because they had no "akkal". You should file a lawsuit with the Indian Supreme Court to have your view included in the constitution. Arwin wrote: I am NOT for bringing the Portugeese back; my view is to preserve Goan Identity whilst being part of India; The point I was trying to make was that Goans were never given a say in the future of their own land. Certain safeguards have to be set by the Indian Government to preserve Goan Identity. Also if you are aware its not only the Catholics who want to preserve Goan Identity but many from Goa's Hindus & Muslims as well. Mario responds: If Goans did not have a say before 1961 it is the fault of the Portuguese. Goans have had a say since 1987. Those individuals who want to preserve whatever identity they think they have are free to preserve it. This is not a role for any national government which is responsible for the entire country. Arwin wrote: As I have said to you before many things which are real today where because of someones fantasy. Mario responds: Who am I to stop you from dreaming? Arwin wrote: Goa geographically maybe but then it will possibly be another Identity; which makes we wonder did Goans waste their time at various times to preserve Goa's Identity e.g. Opinion Poll. Mario responds: I don't see anyone wasting their time on this except you and me:-)) Arwin wrote: Sorry Mario did I miss the awards ceremony where you were awarded the "Lone Voice of Reason" ? Mario responds: Sorry you missed it:-)) It was earned by being consistently reasonable, truthful and peaceful and encouraging others to be the same. You should try it sometime. Arwin wrote. What an excuse Mario; surely there is something you do and all action does not need to be political. FYI there are Goans working abroad E.g Freddy Fernandes and others who have taken a flight back to Goa and "moved mountains" in the cause of their land. Of course not to mention several other "silent" Goans who have done things from abroad. Mario responds: Good for Freddy. By the way can Freddy arrange to move the garbage off the streets of Panjim? I would appreciate it. I have no way to listen to "silent" people. Arwin wrote: Playing with words Mario.. If you have read my views/blogspot properly I do understand that Goan Identity is comprises of many other group religion but the there is a Goan Thread that runs through all these groups/religions. Anyway I think I see some progress on your side atleast admitting that a GOAN IDENTITY. Mario responds: False. There is no unique "Goan Identity". Each one has their own. Individuals or groups are free to identify with anything they want to. Arwin wrote: Yes Mario Goa is more popular because of its beaches/beauty; not its Identity/People as appreciated by countless visitors to Goa. When will you removed your blindfolds!! Mario responds: It is your blindfold that enables you to see a Goan Identity. If you removed it you would see that there is no such thing. Because of your blindfold you may have missed the following post, which you need to read very carefully: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-October/184097.html

* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible Hi Bernado ! Its pleasant to find literary inclined Goans on the net. We can all help each other through our learning and sharing . Literature is the product of a very intelligent / powerful mind and always carries a hidden message which is hard to wisely decipher. In fact the poetry you quoted was one of my favorite I studies during high school . I can still remember teacher Melba explaining the meaning to us and how her words shaped my life. Two other very inspirational poems I faintly recall are 'IF' and another by D.H Lawrence which went on to explain ' Do not make monkeys of men , by having men manning machines' . How much very true are all these poems when they talk about life . You begin to realize life has not changed over the centuries. Humans time and again has always had this feeing of helpless ness and no time for theselves. , unable to break free from situations they consider as detrimental and that's why we express ourselves through poetry and literature . The poem 'If ' goes on to explain human nature of always saying 'IF I had not done this and if I only I had done that , then I could have got that' . Always finding excuse for not having achieved what his neighbor has . As a poetically inclined and talented person , please keep up your talent There may one day be a dawn of realization that every thing in life has a time. Time for play & time for work , time for joy and time for sorrow. Time to love and time to hate .Time to praise God and time to say Why God? . What eventually would set one apart from rest of his fellow beings and makes him feel contented is the feeling ' Yes , I have had my time, I have had it all but if I have survived it all and have been victorious. My courage& fortitude made me never give up when things went wrong ,dead wrong !? I have done it !' If we have rights we have duties too . Rest is my right as much as it is my right to feed my self . Don't expect others to feed me , it is my duty to feed myself. If I cannot feed myself, the world views me as a parasite and I find myself left far behind while the world has gone ahead of me..'Time and tide waits for no man' ' Don't Curse the word then?' bye Cheryl

* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible Tiatr Academy Goa Panjim PRESS NOTE for favour of publication SCHEMES OF TIATR ACADEMY GOA Tiatr Academy, Goa (TAG) has initiated numerous schemes for the promotion of tiatr in Goa and out of Goa. Some of these schemes are as under: Promotion of Award Winning Tiatrs Kala Academy, Goa organizes Tiatr Festivals every year in Panjim only. But the producers and directors of award winning tiatrs have no opportunity to stage these award winning tiatrs in other parts of Goa. These tiatrs display high dramatic standards but they are not shown at different parts of Goa. The reason being these tiatrs do not attract large audience because they have mostly been staged by amateur artistes. Therefore TAG has decided to organize a festival of Award winning tiatrs in Margao so that the people from Margao and surrounding areas may experience the presentations staged by amateur tiatr artistes in the yearly festival organized by Kala Akademy, Goa. Financial assistance to dramatic troupes going to Bombay/Poona Goan Tiatr was born in Bombay. There was a time when the Tiatr culture was more prominent in Bombay than in Goa. Dramatic troupes from Bombay used to come to Goa to stage their tiatrs. In the recent years the scenario has completely changed. There are very few tiatr artistes left in Bombay today. New tiatr artistes also rarely flourish in Bombay. Hence dramatic troupes from Goa go to Bombay and stage their shows in Bombay and Poona. Many a time staging tiatrs in Bombay/Poona by Goan dramatic troupes is not a financially viable proposition. Therefore TAG will give financial support to the tune of Rs. 25,000/ - to any dramatic troupe going to Bombay/Poona to stage its tiatrs there provided that at least five shows of the same tiatr are staged during that trip. This facility will be made available to dramatic troupes coming to Goa from Bombay too. Production of Tiatrs in villages The TAG is of the opinion that the hidden singing and acting talents among the youths in the villages must be explored and that encouragement should be given to develop such talents in the villages. In view of this TAG has formulated a scheme to promote tiatr activities in the villages among the youth by giving them the required financial and technical support. Institutions / groups / dramatic troupes / etc interested in promoting Tiatr culture among the youth in the villages can take benefit of this scheme. The participating youth must be the residents of that village and their age should not exceed 20 years. However maximum of five senior artistes from the same village will be permitted to act in that tiatr. TAG requests the tiatr writers, producers and lovers of tiatr to take advantage of the schemes of TAG and promote tiatr culture in Goa as well as outside Goa. Interested persons may contact the Member Secretary of TAG on phone number 9823375530 or the President on phone no. 9822170102 Tomazinho Cardozo President TAG

You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut." The young man (Nelito) paused a moment then said: Nelito: "You know, Daddu, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and even Jesus had long hair."

Road ‘EKSIDDENTT’ kills one person every day in Goa EKSIDDENTT http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr3/3976284805/sizes/l/ Yes, last year (2008), there were 318 reported deaths in road accidents. There were in about 4,178 accidents during the year of which 318 died and 3167 were injured. About 32% of those died are in the age group of 15-24. Now, what are the main causes of road accidents? - Under age drivers - Driving without License - Driving with license which was fraudulently obtained by bribing the RTO officers - Drink and drive - Taking/mobile phone/sleeping while driving - Not following the traffic rules - No protective head gears like helmets - Improper Roads, stray cattle etc Who are responsible? We the drivers Parents of underaged The RTO dept who issue licenses by accepting bribes Traffic police who accept bribes What are the effects of accidents? Deaths Injuries, some permanent –bedridden, wheelchairs, crutches etc Loss of jobs Family crisis/Poverty etc etc Well, today’s tiatr ‘EKSIDDENT’ by Tomazinho Cardozo is all about road accidents, (A part of the ongoing 35th Tiatr Competition staged at Kala Academy on 1st Oct.2009) It’s a perfect educative drama, giving clear and strong message to all - Prevention is better than cure. The tiatr is presented so well that it shot up to the highest peak on JoeGoaUk’s tiatrograph. Two live motorbikes shown on stage with the bribing traffic police. Corruptions by the RTO licensing officers also shown The typical road side traffic Police (Mr.Dyneshwar Morajkar) was at his best. The accident victim (Mathias Mascarenhas), handicapped/wheel chaired also deserve full marks. And the star of the show, the youngest tiatrist (must be around 5 years old) Master Karan Bhagkar who acted so well, so naturally that he won the hearts of the audience. Besides the above two, there were other non-Christian actors too viz. Shivanand Naik (motor cyclist/Road/Foreigner- Lady) and Tukaram Naik as Reporter. All songs (about 12) rendered by the professional tiatrist like Sharon/Wilson, Socoro de St.cruz and his daughter Sonia, Ben Evangelisto and Sheik Amir. Besides, Maria Cardozo, her brother Eugene Cardozo, Joao and his brother Tomazinho Cardozo. Solo by Sonia Fernandes and Maria Cardozo also deserve full marks. The main actors were Irene Cardozo (Mother), Selza Lopes (daughter-in-law), Joyslyn Misquita (Daughter), Larisa Fernades (Daughter-in-law), Joy Fernandes (Son), Sheik Amir (drunkard) Eugene and Assis Cardozo (Priests).

He was about twenty three when he returned home again. It is a very upper-class tradition to 'take the arm' of your host's spouse, with a guest reciprocating, and those are the pictures we see of these very civilized humans on the grounds of the Viceroy's Palace, in New Delhi. I believe Indira was thrilled when she spent an evening on Reagan's arm, on the White House lawn ! We were treated to photographs. I have, in the past, alluded to the reason why both, Jawahar and Edwina, simply could not have had an 'intimate relationship'. It was not my intention tittilate, much as two recent biographers of Edwina M. also wanted to set the record straight.

The true 'villain' of Bernard's sad piece is Frank Moraes. He and Nehru were classmates at Cambridge, and had remained lifelong friends. Moraes writes that Nehru summoned him to his office for a final signal to proceed, and he conveyed it firmly, even as Menon stood by a window and refused to acknowledge him. I still own the 1965 Moraes biography. eric.

What I find works best for buying books within India is either VPP (value payee post/parcel, you pay the postman on delivery) or send in a demand draft/money order and the author/publisher can send you the book at cost + postage. Postage rates (including registered post) are pretty reasonable for books within India.

[Goanet] GOA CM DANCES AS FLOOD VICTIMS CRY
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible On 3rd October, a day after Gandhi Jayanti, whilst it was pouring tears of sorrow in Canacona village due to flash floods, Goa Chief Minister Mr. Digambar Kamat on his return from there that night, chose to chill out at a dance organized by Panaji’s Clube Vasco da Gama for its centenary celebrations. This was very cynical on the part of Mr. Digambar Kamat as the State was grieving with the suffering of their drenched brothers and sisters in Canacona and some other parts of Goa. That the Chief Minister landed at the dance in an informal attire although the dress code for the occasion was strictly formal is another issue. May be the Chief Minister as usual was trying to impress the audience that he is an Aam Aadmi. If so he should have spent the night at Canacona soothing the tears of those suffering on account of the floods and not at a merry making party. What the Chief Minister did is akin to a Chief Fire Fighter leaving the site for an amusement break in between. Aires Rodrigues Ribandar

But we need to appreciate at least 1 key fact i.e. Most of the migrants are in the process of of integrating into the local hosts culture/customs/language; in Goa its the opposite, due its small size/population. The answer is controlled migration with respect to the unique interests/characteristics of the specifics area.

[Goanet] What ails Indian Sports?
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible What ails Indian Sports? Is it a curse or a mystery ? A nation in excess of 100 Crore people, fail to produce great champions, not that we lack in talent, but in the end it all boils down to the simmering residue of administration, which like our politicians lack foresight and grit determination and above all, love and passion for sports. I am sure there is no lack of talent in our country but what we lack are dedicated administrators who have passion for sports and sports only. Right from my childhood, I loved sports and followed it through what ever medium that I could lay my hands on, magazines, news papers and radio, I was fascinated by the world of sports, even though the coverage was very limited, from those days till today, Indian sports has remained stagnant, except for a few sparks here and there, like the five set quarter finals between Vijay Amritraj and Bjorn Borg at Wimbledon, The great Prakash Padukone winning the all England badminton, world conquering Mike Ferreira and Geet Sethi. Leander Paes taking the fight to Andre Agassi, or Sania Mirza, beating world No. 3 Russian Slutlana Kuznetsova, Bindra and the latest boxing stars and among them all, the only one who looks to be the most consistence, Saina Nehwal and ofcourse, the king of chess Vishwanathan Anand, apart from these, what do we have to boast about, in the international arena ? These few twinkling stars who have brought laurels to our Country, I am sure it was only their personal will and dedication, that they have come up and no credit to the administrators, as the biblical quote says "harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few," I am sure if we apply ourselves and go on a talent hunt , we will come across a lot of raw talent, they may not be the Federers, Bolts, Ronaldos or Grafs but with proper incentives and application we could be there competing with the best and in due time even surprise us with glory. First and foremost, what we lack is the structure at school levels, in schools we are after the children to only study, no matter what their mental capacity is, we sometimes even push them over the edge, with so much pressure to perform to get into professional colleges our children have to forfeit their interest in sports, so that they don't let their home people down, in most of the top sporting countries sports is a lucrative profession, where the pay is as good as any if not better, so much so, that even schools see that deserving students get scholarships, so those students who excel in sports have well regulated grades to achieve (minimum) in studies so that they can dedicate more time to sports, in India it's the opposite, only once you are finished with all your studies, the free time is dedicated to sports, so how can we excel in sports. Secondly what is the fate of our sports men and women, apart from the over paid cricketers, If a sports person of the caliber of PT Usha is not given the respect and the facilities that she so richly and rightly deserves, how will the youngsters be motivated ? If we get see most of our sporting heroes shedding tears every now and then on national television because of the step-motherly treatment that they have received from the authorities, who will want to be a sports person ? Last but not the least, where do our sports men and women stand financially and socially ? Ofcourse apart from the ramp walking, Bollywood dating cricketers. Are any of our sporting elite secure in sports ? If one looks at the sporting elite of the world around, how secure they are in terms of finances and how high they are socially, the void is too great to even compare the status of our sports personalities. It is the duty of the Government to see that due incentives and facilities are provided not only to the upcoming sports personalities but also to the laurel winning professionals of yester years, only then will our youngsters realize that sports can give them the life that they would like to have and strive to give their best and only then will we excel in sports. I am not sure if cricket is a boon or a curse to Indian sports, after all the hype it has, what has it given India, a lone world cup, and a 20-20 world cup and lot of heart-aches year after year with more losses and less wins, if only all the money was rightly used to develop and enhance other sports India would be much better off in world sports today. In India politics in sports is a "giant combo" that towers over, all the rest of the evil
