I believe that the Desh Premis want to revert - in the first instance

That also means the following in addition to what Vivian has so

1: Overturn the Portuguese ban (by decree) on Sati
2: Revert back to the days when the Caste System was officially accepted.
3: Abolish the Westminster system of Government (not that it is
significantly better than the dadagiri which existed pre-1510)
4: Ban the Railways, Buses, Bicycles, Planes, Cars, Radio, TV, Modern
Medicine hospitals - all of which are 'foreign interventions into

[Goanet] Anecdotal examples

2010-11-27 Thread Gilbert Lawrence
Anecdotal (rare) examples is not proof positive.

Recently reading some historical writings about Goa, I can across two topics; 
whose conclusions may represents a pattern.  


One was a photograph of a circular building which at first is attributed as 
POSSIBLY being a Jewish synagogue.  Soon the conclusion is made that the 
photograph was proof of an active Jewish community in Goa.

Another example was a Syrian Orthodox Cross found at Aggasain, reportedly at 
the 
bottom of the river.  This artifact is reportedly displayed at the museum in 
Pillar. This was claimed to be proof of an active Christian community in Goa; 
prior to the Portuguese. 

Does a solitary artifact prove the existence of a whole community? Should there 
not exists lot more artifacts if such a community existed?  In the case of the 
Syrian Orthodox Cross, this object could well be on its way to its final 
destination with Goa's famous port being the entry or exit harbor. 

Anecdotal cases make interesting reading, but are generally an exception rather 
than rule. Because of their exception, the anecdotal observations make 
interesting reporting and reading.

Reading the Goanet article , on issue relating

dwell in the past and rot in the dung!



Shame on the mentality that we argue and debate on religion in this modern era,
have  we  not progressed from the time where Brahmins
would not cross the path of a lower caste, where today a Brahim  would happily 
lives in 5 star hotel and dine
the food cooked by may be lower caste , where once he would not pass shadow of?



What is shocking is that educated doctors and writers dwell in the same
mentality of the in par with uneducated lower mentality, instead of doing
better for the ‘good of mankind’ this intelligent wasted on issue “of past and
religion converting”, distorted the good, a reader like myself feel disgusted
to know the no matter how educated a man is , the education is not of educating
the  “ mind” but merely  certificates to source of money and when it
comes to religion he will worship anything he think there is God within it!!!

New Miracle Takes Fr. Agnel Closer to Sainthood

Devotees of Venerable Agnelo D’Souza are excited after sending to Rome a report 
of a miracle attributed to the Goan priest. Venerable Agnelo Gustavo Adolfo de 
Souza, a member of the indigenous Missionaries of St. Francis Xavier, died in 
1927 and his canonization process began 20 years later. Rome declared him 
venerable, the second stage in the canonization process, in 1986. Father 
Hilario Fernandes, vice postulator of the cause, says although thousands of 
miracles are attributed to the priest, his canonization process hit bottlenecks 
on at least eight occasions. In one instance, a blood sample sent to Rome was 
lost in transit.
 
The new miracle is about a 62-year-old woman, who suffered from metal 
poisoning. She was admitted in a hospital and doctors said she would die. But 
after the woman’s relatives prayed to Venerable Agnelo she recovered. Father 
Fernandes said they sent the case to Rome on Nov. 15. “We hope this will clinch 
his fate to be declared blessed,” he said. The priest, who belongs to the same 
congregation as Venerable Agnelo, said doctors fear their hospitals and 
profession would suffer if they certify a patient’s recovery is medically 
unexplainable.
 
Father Fernandes claims Venerable Agnelo is second only in popularity saint 
among people in Goa after Saint Francis Xavier. Fiona Carnerio, an Agnelo 
devotee, says having a saint of the soil would help keep people’s faith intact. 
Jesus Ribeiro, another Catholic, blamed Rome for going slow in processing the 
cases of candidates from developing countries. The canonization process begins 
with granting the title “Servant of God.” Candidates who fulfill certain 
criteria are declared “Venerable.” The next stage is beatification, for which a 
miracle attributed to the candidate is needed. Sainthood requires another 
miracle under the same condition.

Our Lady of Pilar, Agnelo, then a Sub-Deacon, was admitted as a
candidate to the Missionary Society of St. Francis Xavier, Pilar, and on May 
22, 1898, he made his first Profession. Ordained on September 24, 1898, Fr. 
Agnelo first worked as a teacher and then in the Missions. In 1920, he was 
appointed Spiritual Director in Rachol Seminary. The Seminarians found in him a 
model to follow and feltthemselves secure in his guidance. On November 20, 1927 
he died in odour of sanctity. He had suffered an acute cerebral thrombosis on 
the previous day while he was preaching at the Vespers of Sacred Heart of 
Jesus. Many thousands of favors have been published in various periodicals in 
many parts of the world. Fr. Agnelo’s Tomb in Pilar attracts countless devotees 
praying for his powerful intercession. The process of beatification is making 
good but slow progress in Rome. On November 10, 1986 the Process of Life and 
Virtues was approved by Pope John Paul II and he declared him Venerable. The 
process on an alleged miracle has
 been finished at Diocesan level and submitted to the Sacred Congregation in 
Rome.

 A farmer told me that after this application they also sprinkle some
jaggery around the trees. Asked to explain the reason he said,
jaggery attracts large black ants (domle/katmuyo) which are natural
enemies of termites. They kill and drag all termite workers to their
nests. This is a part of Goa’s traditional biological control. But
the hidden termites are perfect defenders of their nests and even
snakes are scared to enter a live termite nest. So the termite
conquests in Goa would continue. (Nandkumar Kamat)

Conventional wisdom of our ancestors advocated construcation of houses
building, with materials available which are generic to the mother

mud finely sieved mixed with lime, sand jaggery and the roofs were
constructed slantingly with enjoinment of rafters reapers wall plates,

Pratibha launches Indian Workers Resource Centre
Smita Gupta

Low wages, delayed salary payments, isolation, combined with a lack of
knowledge of the laws under which they can seek redress have, only too
often, turned the dreams of Indian blue collar workers living abroad
into a nightmare.

The Union Ministry of Overseas Affairs has now initiated as a pilot
project, a free, walk-in resource centre providing Indian workers,
especially semi-skilled and unskilled labourers, direct access to
welfare services in the United Arab Emirates, located in Dubai. The
Indian Workers Resource Centre (IWRC) was inaugurated late on Tuesday
by President Pratibha Patil, who is on a goodwill tour of the United
Arab Emirates (UAE) and Syria.

Later, briefing journalists, Secretary (East) Latha Reddy said that
while such visits provided an occasion to celebrate the success
stories of Indians living abroad, it was important not to forget those
less fortunate.

Secretary (Ministry of Overseas Affairs) Didar Singh said the IWRC
experiment followed the setting up, four years ago in Delhi, of the
Overseas Workers Resource Centre, especially for workers from Kerala,
Andhra Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. Dr. Singh said the objective was
to provide a “seamless service” for those who wished to go abroad to
work from the moment they took the decision to do so. He added that
while the UAE centre was the first, the government hoped to create
such facilities in other countries with a large NRI population.

Of the 25 million overseas Indians, 10 million are NRIs, Indian
passport-holders, and of these 5.5 million are in the Gulf. The United
Arab Emirates accounts for 1.7 million, of which close to 70 per cent
are blue collar workers, many working in appalling conditions.

Now, workers in distress can call a toll-free number, 800 46342
(800-India), from anywhere in the UAE to seek counselling, information
or advice relating to legal issues such as contracts and financial
matters.

The centre, located on Khalid bin Waleed Street, will be open from 3
p.m. to 7 p.m. every day, with phone lines open 24 hours a day and
available in seven languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil,
Malayalam and Telugu. In cases of disputes concerning contracts and
other legal documents, workers will be referred to a qualified
adviser. In addition, sessions will be arranged for labourers in need
of psychological counselling.

Clearly, the need to set up such facilities was felt as Indian
missions abroad did not have the resources or expertise to cater to
the welfare of expatriate workers adequately. These services will be
in addition to the existing services offered by Indian missions and
social cultural organisations of India running in the UAE.

[Goanet] FORMER IGP KD SINGH SON’S CAR CRASH C OST THE TAX PAYER Rs. 4 ,33, 200

2010-11-27 Thread Aires Rodrigues
The 4th December 2009 car crash by the son of Goa’s former IGP, Mr.
K.D.Singh while driving his father’s official a Toyota Innova GA-07-G-0063
has cost the State exchequer Rs 4, 33, 200. This has been revealed in
information obtained under the Right to Information Act.

Siddharth Singh the IGP’s son was driving  his father’s official vehicle
along with his friends to a night club at Vasco that late night when he
crashed the vehicle also damaging two electricity poles.

The information obtained further reveals that the Goa Government has given
financial and administrative approval for the repair of that vehicle and has
decided not to recover the amount from either the former IGP or his son.

The file notings obtained also reveals that almost 6 months after the
accident, the Under Secretary Home on 16/6/2010 in a letter to the Director
General of Police sought clarification as to how without the knowledge of
the official driver the IGP’s son got the keys of that vehicle.

In a reply sent around two months later the police state that in case the
vehicle was required for any contingency at night the driver had parked the
vehicle at the IGP’s residence and left the keys there.

Director of Prosecution Mrs. Shobha Dhumaskar had in her legal opinion given
on 22nd February this year opined that the IGP’s son should not be charge
sheeted in the accident case that was registered against him.

While not suggesting any further investigation in the matter the Director of
Prosecution in her opinion had stated that despite the heavy damage to the
vehicle, there was no evidence of rash and negligent driving and that it
would be difficult to prove the case against the IGP’s son Sidharth Singh.

The RTI information reveals that while former IGP Mr.KD.Singh and his son
who was unauthorizedly driving his father’s official vehicle are scot free a
different yardstick for a police driver who was involved in an accident in
discharge of his official duties.

In another information furnished under the Right to Information Act it has
been informed that Rs 1833 a month is being deducted from the salary of
Police Driver Vinod Malvankar for an accident a Police van being driven by
him had met with on 27th August 2003. The records reveal that police
constable Vinod Malvankar is being penalized despite the Additional Sessions
Judge and a police departmental inquiry as well  ruling that he was not
driving rash or negligently.

If indiscipline and cover up was by higher ups in the police force not much
could be expected from the lower ranks. May be this liberation day the Goa
Government should reward former IGP Mr. K.D.Singh with a gold medal for
having successfully drilled a Rs 4, 33, 200 deep hole into the State
exchequer.

[Goanet] Funningly Speaking by Floriano Lobo of Goa Su-Raj

2010-11-27 Thread floriano



I get this call from a long time friend of mine from Salcete.

Hello Floriano he says, how're things, how's the party doing?

Hello dear I say nice to hear from you in a long time. What's cooking at 
your end? - As for me, I couldn't have been better and more relaxed... with 
my building having gotten the Occupancy Certificate which Dayanand Narvekar 
tried hardest to stop and where he has to give me credit for sending him on 
a wild goose chase ... the shit ultimately  has hit him in his ugly face... 
Yes, It sure feels good


Nice to hear all that he said By the way, do you read Herald?

I get all English language dailies I said but most of the time I do not 
get time to go through them .. why are you asking?


There is a joker called Francis Rodrigues and he writes a humour column of 
an on as 'Goan abroad' ... And in the 24/Nov edition he has belittled your 
party some with a caption 'Putty Polly'tics!'  he said.


Something like that never misses my hawkish eye I said .. Yes, I have 
seen that ..   and I have left Francis to look after the many Tics on his 
Polly. :-)) 


Are you not going to react to that slight? he asked.

No I said. These are not slights but these are actually commendations. 
Does any one write about UGDP, MGP  that way at all ? ... Congress they call 
Ali Baba Chors. BJP the call Communal, NCP they call 'rolling stone party in 
that it accommodated accomplished rolling stones like Trajan D'Mello and 
Surendra Sirsat' who are known not to collect any moss.  What else can they 
call goasuraj?


But Floriano, this Charlie called you Flower'iano  and your party 
Su..su..su..raj and that is not fair he said.


Cool down will you I said.  People have call this party with worst names 
... like Gu-Raj,   Sur Raj and more. But Su .su ..raj makes more sense and I 
think I like it better


Come on Floriano, that is not the way the founding president of the party 
must react. You must do something he said.


Now don't tell me  you want turn in your life membership... are you ...  
and yes, I shall do something if you like I said


That's better he said  You are going to do something ... like what? he 
asked.


You see dear I said  I have been a sailor-boy for far too long. And out 
at sea, when partying ( which was a regularly regular affair) we used to 
sing the Jonhnny the sailor's ballad. I am going to do just that I said


You want to sing Johnny the sailor's ballad?  Is that it? he asked aghast.

No I said.  I am going to stand on the steeple and piss on the people 
like Johnny the sailor did. Hopefully some of it will fall on Francis 
Rodrigues the joker from Toronto. Our Moira church boast of having the 
highest steeple in Goa and the reason is that Moidekars made it grow by 
burying a patmari load of 'tallehs' underneath it, a feat that no one has 
been able to accomplish. That is why we are called Moidekars.


I must say that you have a better sense of humour than this jackass called 
Francis Rodrigues he said Why don't you give him some tuitions?


AAH I said  I look at humour when it makes me laugh... that means that 
the reader must burst out laughing. In Francis's case, it is the he himself 
who bursts out laughing at his stupid jokes. That is why I normally do not 
look twice at his pieces.. Hope he will improve with maturity


Tell me something, Floriano said my friend How come you gave such a funny 
name to your party?. It is like asking for trouble, like in this case where

It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizens  contest elections.
It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST  citizen voters elect good, honest 
representatives.

GOA urgently needs  'GOOD, HONEST, DISCIPLINED SYSTEM of GOVERNANCE'.
Wherein, even a dishonest person is forced to be good, honest n disciplined, 
or to QUIT.


Only through PPS can such 'good, honest n disciplined system of governance' 
be identified and accepted.


PPS GOA =PEOPLE for POLITICAL SANITY = PEOPLE'S POWER SYSTEM

  A farmer told me that after this application they also sprinkle some
 jaggery around the trees. Asked to explain the reason he said,
 jaggery attracts large black ants (domle/katmuyo) which are natural
 enemies of termites. They kill and drag all termite workers to their
 nests. This is a part of Goa’s traditional biological control. But
 the hidden termites are perfect defenders of their nests and even
 snakes are scared to enter a live termite nest. So the termite
 conquests in Goa would continue. (Nandkumar Kamat)

 Conventional wisdom of our ancestors advocated construcation of houses
 building, with materials available which are generic to the mother
 earth such as stones cut form granite formation or leterite crust or
 mud finely sieved mixed with lime, sand jaggery and the roofs were
 constructed slantingly with enjoinment of rafters reapers wall plates,
 beams with over burnt clay tiles layering and as the roof extended
 almost 2 1/2 feet    away from the periphery of the walls thereby
 protecting wall from formation of moss in monsoon by flow of water.

Good morning FN.

Trust thou art well.

Good to see that you are making an attempt to check some facts before
rushing to print.

Just so that you may know - I am not an expert on construction. But,
being from Carabolim (via Velim) I do know a little about the
'deconstruction of the proverbial 'hook'.

This time around, you are not stereotyping Goans.

Jaggery is not known to be a popular item in Goa except until
recently. It was quite well known (in what was Poona, at least) that
builders (labour from South India aka Vadarwadis) of puls (micro-mini
bridges) would use some crushed nuts soaked in jaggery apparently to
harden the chuna they used in building. They built one connecting the
main road to the hospital-campus I grew up in.

No .they (the builders) were not Goans not even your
Goanese...but they would be quite spirited in the evening
courtesy Dalda (the code word for Navsagar)..the awful smell would
permeate the atmosphere of very colourful hyderabadi.

YUCK!

Wrt this matter, I agree entirely with Aires' disgust with these babulals.

The basic point is this:

Unless KD Singh reported the car to be missing, when he realised it
was missing, it is his responsibility.

The is a well known common law doctrine called RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR
i.e. Let the master answer.

KD Singh should be sued not only for the damage to the car but also
for the damage to public property (apart from being charged for
dangerous driving).

The TORT doctrine that imposes responsibility upon one person for the
failure of another, with whom the person has a special relationship

would use under similar circumstances.

Gabe, I did not know that Catholicism originated in Portugal.
**No, but it is the Portuguese and other unknown harbingers of Faith who 
brought the wealth of Christian Faith to India and Goa.


We should understand that the objective of the protest is to ensure that 
the

Portuguese as a colonist are not glorified.  It is my impression that the
present day Portuguese do not empathise with those Portuguese who did so
much harm to others in colonies all over the world.  They also do not
empathise with the regime of Salazar and others.


**Let us not judge them with our modern eyes... They saw things in a

What is wrong is wrong, but time gives a different perspective to them...
Salazar lived in his own times, doing what was needed for those times...

This whole controversy is another example where Goans have a difficult time to 
see beyond the tip of their nose.


The whole idea of a celebration (if one wants to term it such) would be for 
socio-economic advancement of the natives - both Hindu and Catholic in Goa. If 
Goans were smart, this event could be a bonanza-year for tourism to Goa from 
Portugal and else where in Europe.  Why are the Brits so ga-ga about the 
upcoming royal wedding? It is all about tourists pounds ... pounds ... pounds.

Similarly President Obama's recent visit to St. Xavier's college, Mumbai, would 
have been utilized by other groups (including Indian) to maximum 
advantage. Sikhs were very disappointed on the last minute cancellation of the 
President's visit to Amritsar.

The alumni of SFX college should have started a fund and along with a matching 
grant from the US state department have a new wing built onto the college for 
the benefit of the next generation of Mumbai's residents, graduating from SFX 
college.  It is still not too late for this effort.

Which 'Desh' and what 'Prem' they are referring to?   I 'Desh' they mean 
India, since these chaps don RSS colours it has to be. I guess.  Did India 
exist 450 years ago? If they plan to undo Portuguese, Goa cannot be part of 
India.  India came into existence in 1947, 4 centuries after Portuguese 
occupation of Goa. That means Goa was never part of India until its forceful 
occupation by India.


Now, if their reference of  'Desh' and 'Prem' is Goa then undo anything and 
everything the 'Portuguese' had done and left in Goa after 450 year of rule 
And first thing First. FF's should stop receiving pension that they had been 
getting by force since 1961 and in fact should return all the money that 
they had received in the past.  It is because of 'Portuguese' they get it. 
So no 'Portuguese' no 'Money'


Change the Goa's Civil Code which is a Portuguese law that gives all Goans 
(including RSS and BJP in Goa) undivided inheritance rights to Sons and 
Daughter.
Demolish all the 'Portuguese' build houses, and first should be Raj Bhavan 
then 'Camara' buildings in all towns, Marmagoa Port and the Old Goa Churches 
etc.
Then a very pertinent question of 'evacuee property' but it should not be 
Mayem but Dabolim and  and all the illegally occupied land by Army and Navy 
that includes Ilha de Anjediva.


Lastly revoke the 1974 treaty signed by Indian with Portugal if RSS and BJP 
sponsored DNS feels humiliated by the Portuguese Rule in Goa.  Goa had not 
experienced events like  Jallianwala Bagh in Goa to condemn Portuguese. 
India had many events like Jallianwala Bagh yet had written its constitution 
in the same colonial language and runs its day to day administration in the 
very same colonial language 'ENGLISH'.


Goans had lived as part of Portugal for 450 years much longer then they 
lived with India.  The Indian Prime Minister, Nehru hAD himself had admitted 
that Goans had a different culture than that of rest of India. RSS and BJP 
sponsored DNS  is playing vote bank politics nothing much in it.


If RSS and BJP sponsored DNS want to turn the clock in the annals of history 
books then they have to go back to their mother womb and be born again!
