[Goanet] Mining Goons in Goa

2011-05-13 Thread Arwin Mesquita

  The brutal attack on Anti-Mining Activist Nilesh Gaonkar by the Mining
 Goons is clear case of frustration and cowardly fear, that their huge
 illegitimate profits from the destruction of Goa are soon to be compromised.
 I strongly feel that these goons have done their dastardly act with the
 directives of their mining godfathers who have the blessings of the
 extremely corrupt and pro-mining Goa Government.  Today the attack is on
 Nilesh, tomorrow it will be an attack on anyone who the Anti-Goans feel is a
 threat to their sources of illegitimate income. Under the garb of Language,
 Religion, Caste etc the unscrupulous politicians have divided Goans, so as
 to continue with their destructive activities. It is high time Goans link up
 across Goa and stand with every Goan who is facing the wrath, threat and
 intimidation of the Anti-Goan Government and their Goons (which includes
 the highly corrupt and compromised Goa Police, who are supposed to be the
 custodians of law and order in the state)

[Goanet] Doha Goan Sports club (Well Done)

2011-05-13 Thread Arwin Mesquita
 I must appreciate the fact that at their recently held Dance/Social event ,
the Doha Goan Sports Club did not entertain any Anti-Goan Politician as
special invitees, chief guests etc i.e. the people who are involved today in
the destruction of Goa via Destructive Mining, Mega Projects favoring
outsiders, Migrant Vote Bank Politics, SALE of Goa to land sharks and big
money bags from outside, excessive corruption, drug menace, high level of
prostitution etc This kind of act of not dancing with the tainted
politicians is in a way, a democratic disapproval of the Anti-Goan
Politicians and sends a message to other Goans to discourage the same.



I do hope that the Doha Goan Sports Club continue with this approach for
their future events and that this be an example, to the other Overseas Goans
in the Gulf and elsewhere, who encourage Anti Goan Politicians for reasons
best known to them !!

[Goanet] Willy takes potshot at Churchill, asks for his education status

2011-05-13 Thread Gabe Menezes
Willy takes potshot at Churchill, asks for his education statusTNN | May 13,
2011, 01.17am IST
PANAJI: Till what class has Churchill
Alemaohttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Churchill%20Alemao
studied
to know about ageing and senility, asked former chief minister Wilfred de
Souza on Thursday, in response to media reports quoting the PWD minister as
calling him senile.

Addressing a press conference to give a point-by-point rebuttal of Alemao's
charges against him in Margao on Wednesday, de Souza said that if being
above 80 is senile, then what about the prime minister of
Indiahttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/India and
senior BJP leader L K
Advanihttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=L%20K%20Advani
.

Alemao reportedly called de Souza senile in response to his charges that
Alemao was responsible for the medium of instruction fiasco in Goa because
he had sided with Shashikala Kakodkar in 1990 in denying grants to English
medium schools. De Souza was the then opposition leader and had proposed
grants to English medium schools, but Alemao, who had deserted the Congress
government and supported the MGP to form the PDF government, had opposed the
move.

Stating that age does not count for being in politics, de Souza insisted
that being a man of medicine, he is better qualified to speak on these
things.

He shot down Alemao's justification that he had sided with Konkani because
the Diocesan society wanted it. Showing copies of the assembly debates of
July 1990, de Souza said that all along in his entire speech, Alemao had
said, We have decided not to give grants to English medium schools, We
have done this and We have done that. De Souza said the we referred to
Churchill Alemao and Shashikala Kakodkar and nowhere, did Alemao refer to
the Diocesan Society. Now suddenly, he (Alemao) wakes up and puts the blame
on the Diocesan society, de Souza said.

The former chief minister said Alemao had spoken only one truth-that he (de
Souza) had asked Alemao not to undertake the repairs of the Saligao market.
De Souza said he had drawn up plans to build a brand-new market in Saligao
at the cost of 90 lakh through well-known architects Dean D'Cruz and Tulio
De Souza. These plans had been forwarded with the chief minister's approval
to the Goa state infrastructure development corporation (GSIDC) and the
corporation was pursuing the matter. I wanted to avoid duplication of work.
But I know why Churchill Alemao wants to repair the market through the
district rural development authority (DRDA). That is because he will not get
anything if the project is done through the GSIDC. He will certainly get
something if it is done through the DRDA because that department is under
him, de Souza said.

The former Saligao MLA insisted that the government should give grants to
English medium primary schools in Goa. He said it is not a matter of whether
one group wants it and another group does not. It is purely a question of
law. One is the Goa official Language Act, which states that the government
cannot discriminate in giving grants to educational institutions only on the
basis of language. The other is the central Right To Education (RTE) Act
which says that children should be given free and compulsory education. Most
children in Goa have to pay for education because they go to English medium
schools. This violates the RTE Act, de Souza.

When asked about the fear of some that giving grants to English medium
schools would wipe out Konkani, de Souza said, For 451 years, the
Portuguese ruled Goa. They allowed Marathi schools and English schools, but
never allowed even a single Konkani school. But Konkani was never wiped out
because it is in the blood of Goans.

NOU, NOÌ is, used to be a very household item in Goa of wood-fire days when
it (mostly of kondó-bamboo) was used to flare up/keep going the kitchen fires.

Any hollow tubes.

The most loved NOIS in Goa were the ones carried by our Tarvittis containing all
their shipping commission and other documents relevant to their work

Thei were very valuable as they were hereditary and/or if the tarvotti did noy 
have a son
interested in working aboard a ship, it could be bequethed to a chap of the 
tarvotti's choice.

Aanother instance of NOUì lovingly used in Concanim is: SUNNEACHI XEMPDDI NOUEN

Used for any tube but most ubiquitously a bamboo one. It served us all, when

[Goanet] Marathi in Goa.

2011-05-13 Thread eric pinto
    The article represents wishful thinking : the horse has long left the 
stable.  The language of Goa  now is Marathi. Suryaprant outsells all other 
dailies put together.  Mr. Bandodkar dreaded the very thought of Karnataka, and 
his prediction of the onslaught has come true.  I remember the party manifesto 
posted on walls in 1961: one could term it hate, but in the greater context of 
our old and complex history, it was logical thinking for a social group that 
had 
only just evicted one alien hegemony. To witness the passion, one needs only 
to travel a few miles to Belgaum, where a Maratha majority seethes under Dravid 
domination. This is what drives our socio-polity. The die has now been cast, 
and 
the Goan Hindu has had the last word.   eric. 

    --

The second thing is that when we are imminently in the process of deciding the 
medium issue, why should we not discard Marathi? It will only be Konkani which 
will be taught in Goan schools though Marathi could be taken as an optional 
third language. Since we did not cede to Maharashtra in the past, those that 
take pride in calling themselves Goans should not have a problem in discarding 
Marathi.

We have to do this at this juncture and there is no point in persisting with 
Marathi. The logic that the Marathi language gives the Hindu community their 
fount of art and culture is clearly a misguided notion. Many of the people who 
gave Marathi its culture in the fine arts were Goans like Bakibab Borkar, 
Jitendra Abhisheki, Mogubai Kurdikar,Kesarbai Kerkar, Kishori Amonkar, the 
Mangeshkar music family and many others.
 
An example for this can be taken from among the Konkani people themselves who 
were forced to flee Goa when the Portuguese came to Goa. The majority of these 
people settled along the coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala. Over time 
this 
community has contributed in a major way to the life in these two states. 
Nowhere have these people forsaken the Konkani language. But for some 
introduction of Kannada and Malayalam words which have slopped into the Konkani 
language there has been no large-scale corruption of their mother tongue.  The 
konkani people settled in these areas have gone ahead and adapted the local 
language script and are writing Konkani in the Kanada  and Malayalam scripts.

In contrast in Goa the Hindu people were quick to forsake their mother tongue 
and adopt Marathi. The time to correct this aberration has come and we should 
for the future have only one official language - KONKANI and English. Just 
paying lip service to Konkani will not suffice and the average Konkani person 
in 
Goa should put their hand on their hart and support Konkani wholeheartedly.

COMMENTS:

I salute Srinivas Kamat for having a square head on his shoulders for a Hindu 
Goan. As a matter of fact, I have heavily contradicted his piece of 8th May, 
2011 regarding the Portuguese apology to Goa. Therefore it must be remembered 
that I do not fight people. I fight issues. And I have reminded Srinivas Kamat 
when he thought that he had lost a friend. For me friendship is one thing and 
issues another thing altogether. Having said that, I have highlighted the 
portions in the above piece where my comments are warranted. Konkani 
compulsorily taught up to X class is what it should be. We must go with Konkani 
and English side by side together, with Konkani as the MOI in the primary 
section and English as a subject for smooth transition to the secondary level. 
Marathi has no meaning in all this as far as education and MOI is concerned. 
Marathi is the religious language of the Hindus of Goa like Latin was for the 
Catholic Christians in Goa. It would be a shame to call Marathi as Goa's mother 
tongue. And whereas the Catholic Christian community of Goa is patriotic to 
their motherland Goa, the Hindus of Goa are not. This is because the Catholic 
Christians have jettisoned Latin as their religious language and adopted their 
liturgy in Romi Konkani. Why the Goan Hindus have not done likewise is because 
the root cause lies in what Adv. Amrut Kansar has publicly said at the TB Cunha 
Hall some time ago at a meet when the Curchorem/Savordem first time communal 
riots was being discussed. What he said was this  BAHUSAHEB BANDODKAR 
IMPORTED 
HINDU BHATS FROM MAHARASHTRA TO POISON THE MINDS OF GOAN HINDUS As far as I 
know, it was not Bandodkar as much as his mentor Janardhan Shinkre who is 
responsible for all this. That the Goan Hindu community by and large is 
definitely not patriotic to GOA was declared when the Opinon Poll was declared 
when such malafide thing shouldn't have ever happened to Goa. As to who 
poisoned 
Indira Gandhi's mind into declaring this vile Opinion Poll,  there is not doubt 
at all.

Further to my salutations, I congratulate Srinivas Kamat for having openly 
shown 
his patriotism to Goa and for being a thoroughbred Goan Hindu. 

Re: [Goanet] RAHUL GANDHI'S IMMATURE STATEMENT

2011-05-13 Thread J. Colaco jc
I do not believe that any of the following terms used by Nascy fit
Aires i.e. sly, pro-BJP, and Fascist fan. If in doubt, try review his
recent attempt and (prospective) arrangements at winning a seat in the
CCP elections.

If anything, Aires is ONLY 100% pro-Aires, and nobody should get upset
about that - as long as no third party is needlessly and unjustifiably
jammed in the process.

I am not very sure what Aires has accomplished more as a lawyer: (a)
Challenging the unscrupulous or (b) Harassing those who cross his
path. It is the latter, I believe, which will result (has resulted) in
Aires being less successful and less trusted than he should be or
could have been. That, and forever being involved in
disorder-generating controversies. It is almost as though the learned
gentlemen needs to create disorder in order to feel good.

As far as the Rahul Gandhi post, it is possible that Aires just made
the error of rushing to judgement' - also adding the well worn
xenophobic, anti-Sonia cliché containing drivel characteristic of the
saffron lot.

Not very sure if Aires will withdraw that statement - or merely, as he
is known to do, just stand by his words.

[Goanet] TIME TO FEEL ASHAMED OF RAHUL GANDHI

2011-05-13 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Rahul Gandhi's statement that he is ashamed to be an Indian is an
outburst of immaturity. Whatever the context, one cannot understand
how an Indian can ever be ashamed of his Nation. Could it be for being
half Italian that Rahul Gandhi's feeling Indian is only skin deep?  On
one hand, we have a bunch of corrupt politicians and on the other,
pampered products of dynasty politics, propped up by sycophants. It is
time now for every Indian to feel ashamed of Rahul Gandhi and his
statement.

Eric, The Konkani daily is Sunaparant (golden not sun).

Not everything matters on language along, of course, in the dog-eat-dog
circulation world, which some large Marathi chains have entered and selling
their product for as low as one or two rupees. Not even the cost of the ink
spent, forget about paper and news-collection expenses. This is an
advertisement-driven game; what it does by way of distortion to news
coverage is anyone's guess.

It is a fact though that Marathi is largely the literary language of the
Goan Hindu (except among a section of 'upper castes' and a few others, post
Shenoi Goembab), just as Portuguese was and English is for the Catholic
Goan.

Just this evening, I was talking about the media in Goa and a health
professional noted that matka (two digit gambling) is illegal here, but that
some newspapers carry matka results prominently on their pages. No action is
taken against them.

He specifically named the Tarun Bharat.

In addition, Tarun Bharat has also long been a spokesperson for the Hindutva
Right (before it got more competition in this sector of late). It has also
built its visibility on very detailed local reporting, in a State where most
areas go uncovered and badly under-reported. (Ideally, each village should
build resources to create its own local reporter.)

The joke among media persons, as narrated to me once, is this: papers like
Tarun Bharat would cover even an instance of a buffalo falling into a
village well. Not just that, the next day's paper would perhaps carry a
follow-up report ... going to the extent of mentioning the names of the
eleven people who were present to watch the animal being rescued from its
watery punishment!

[Goanet] Portugal must enhance cultural and sporting ties with Goa Damao and Diu

2011-05-13 Thread Bernado Colaco
For 450 year the Portuguese ruled Goa. In a sad event in 1961 Goa was occupied 
by an other country. In 1974 and in an unfortunate manner Goa was handed over 
without consent. But since establishing ties with our new governors which 
includes cultural exchanges, Portugal's response on the whole has been very 
weak. One movie festival here and there is of no use to developing and 
enhancing 
our ties. We want football teams like Porto or Benfica to grace our stadiums 
with 45000 people waving the Portuguese flag in friendship. In our occupied 
land 
one saw music groups llike Osibisa or Uriah Heep, but there is no GNR or Homens 
de Luta to satisfy our music tastes. For more than 50 years our bands are 
singing Mama Eu quero uma chupeita. Teachers are required to teach the 
Portuguese language which was forced to abandoned due to the cultural genocide 
backed by puppets and neo colonial perpetrators.

[Goanet] Is it Liberated or Invaded Goa?

2011-05-13 Thread Joel Moraes
Is it Liberated or Invaded Goa?

19 December 1961 has been considered as a day of Goa's liberation.Looking at 
the attack on a daring 24 year youth,Nilesh Goankar for fighting to save his 
village of Cavrem forces me to  say,was Goa really liberated or invaded?Few 
days back,the men in khaki turned out to be goondas for the Cavrem locals and 
now the same goondas will be investing the attack by the unknown goondas.In 
today's Goa there are number of Bachao Samitis namely,GBA,GRA,CABS,GXE etc but 
the interesting question is,Bachao from whom?Is it bachao from the hands of 
elected people in power?If so,how we can call ourselves as liberated?
We
 belong to a place where there is nothing  called as law.This is a place
 where a bill passed by the elected mafias in Power in more powerful 
than a Supreme court order.Can the so called law protectors dare to arrest the 
powerful suspects in the Nilesh attack case?This present government is a part 
of illegal minning in Goa and they have got the power to use legal as well as 
illegal means against the people who dare to expose their ugly acts.Only God 
knows the future of this one time peaceful state  of Goa.
I remember a Nilesh who sacrificed his precious life to save his village of 
Kerim during
 the anti -Nylon 6,6,agitation and now again it is another Nilesh who 
has been attacked for fighting to save his village from the hands of the
 mining lobby.
Nobody is against mining but everything has got a limit and the limit has been 
crossed in Goa.We are playing with nature's patience and it is incorrect to do 
so because when mother nature shows her power,no other power in the world will 
be able to help us.
This present attack on Nilesh Gaonkar reminded me to remember the daring 
forgotten son of Goa who sacrificed his life during the anti-Nylon 6,6 
agitation in Kerim.
I take this opportunity to salute the late Nilesh and the Nilesh
 who at the very young age is all out to save his own village whereas as
 some of us who call ourselves as historic sold our villages for 
personal gains.
Hope God's law will prevail as I don't trust my Country's law.

[Goanet] Massive crowd to support the Jan Lokpal Bill and to meet Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Swami Agnivesh, Arvind Kejriwal at Azad Maidan, Panaji-Goa.

2011-05-13 Thread JoeGoaUk
Massive crowd to support the Jan Lokpal Bill and to meet 
Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Swami Agnivesh, Arvind Kejriwal 
at Azad Maidan, Panaji-Goa.
 

Sadly, Anna Hazare (73) could not make it due to ill health
 

The meet was to start at 5 but started at 5.30
Initially, the crowd was around 1000 but by 6.15 it was swelled by 
almost 4 times. And the figure remain steady till the end of the
meeting i.e. 7.30pm

The three main speakers were Swami Agnivesh, Arvind Kejriwal 
and Kiran Bedi ( with Adv. Satish Sonak).

People were listening to each and every word of the speakers 
till the end. Crowd included young and very old.
People seen sitting on the lawns as there were not enough chair 
to accommodate 4000 old crowd. Chairs were around 600.

 

Arvind Kejriwal explained what the bill is all about and what they are 
asking for in the bill,
with clarifications with referenced to some misconceptions such 
as RSS pro etc
Very interesting, trying to put together in a video clip, please listen 
to what he has to say.

 

Kiran Bedi was talking about the Media/Press attention/support 
got in the beginning.
Kiran call upon all youth including ladies to take up the noble cause 
including involving in the community services etc
Please also listen to her where she explains how all this started and
what support they got initially from the Govt and the press/media.

Kiranji said there are about Rs.730 (73 thirteen zeros)

sitting in foreign banks such as Swiss bank and as such India can be
as rich as America if there were no such money in the foreign banks.

Almost all speakers made a mention of our young Nilesh Gaokar
from Caverem who was brutally attacked by some people with Iron 
rods at Verna, condemning the attack.
Including Swami Agnivesh who said they all visited Nilesh at the 
hospital this morning.

[Goanet] Hippie Culture Grips Virgin Galgibaga

2011-05-13 Thread tony martin
*Hippie Culture Grips Virgin Galgibaga*

* *

*Where Olive Ridley turtles crawled majestically on the singing sands of
Galgibaga today one sees the hippies in their joyous contortions of open and
uninhibited lovemaking on the soft bed of pines of the Casuarinas (trees)
that dot the Galgibaga coast. *



Lured primarily by its low cost of living and idyllic charm, a steady stream
of hippies have decided to call Galgibaga home, full or part time. Once
little more than a sleepy hideaway sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and a
tiny hillock with two parallel rivers, and two communities living in perfect
harmony, Turtle haven Galgibaga in Canacona, South Goa, is a picture-perfect
paradise.



Sad as it is, even as we continue to bask in our chimera of paradise, the
tragedy of a frightening reality, spreading its tentacles slowly but surely
bringing with it decay and despair veiled as development and progress, goes
untold.



Turtle haven Galgibaga Beach is the last frontier still unspoilt by
the goodies of tourism and till recently was the only family
destination where families could enjoy the beach without parents
having to squirm in embarrassment over the naked flesh lying around.



The social fabric of this laid-back village has also already suffered signs
of visible deterioration largely due to unchecked drug trafficking, booze
binges, beach parties and nudism that are a part of the hippie invasion.



“It is very sad that our beloved Galgibaga is gradually turning into yet
another haven of sun, sand, wine, women and sex for the hippies. Greed is
what functions now. Anything goes as long as one keeps counting the fast
money that flows in. Everything else has suddenly become peripheral which is
what cries for the attention of the local people and the administrators,”
says Mrs. Carmine Fernandes.



Where Olive Ridley turtles crawled majestically on the singing sands of
Galgibaga today one sees the hippies in their joyous contortions of open and
uninhibited lovemaking on the soft bed of pines of the Casuarinas (trees)
that dot the Galgibaga coast which has seen thousands of hatchlings finding
their way to the sea since 2000-01.



Gulf-based Mr. Barreto remarks “there is an urgent need to strike a balance.
Tourists related activities need to be carried out with proper checks and
measures otherwise the ill-effects of tourism will out-measure the benefits
leading to terrible consequences for the village and its people.
Unfortunately, our ravenous administrators have failed to initiate
appropriate strategies to combat the tourism related problems that have been
swept under the carpet for too long.”



Meanwhile the locals are fighting the commercialization of the eco-sensitive
area which is notified as heritage landscape under the banner of
Poinguinkaracho Ekvott, (PE) a social front launched a few months. Kishore
Poinguikar of PE says “we have been fighting to preserve our heritage and
the matter is due to come up before the High Court.”

Urus of Babal Pir Durgah today
Rajendra P Kerkar, TNN | May 14, 2011, 06.16am IST

KERI: The annual Urus at Babal Pir Durgah of Sanquelim will be 
celebrated on May 14 with the Qawwali programme and other religious events.


Dattawadi in Sanquelim town has the historic shrine of Babal Pir which 
is the symbol of communal harmony right from the pre-Portuguese period. 
Muslims along with Christians and Hindus celebrate the annual event of 
Urus, a highlight of which is a question and answer session through 
musical consort. The well-known qawwali singers Salim Sholla and Rubi 
Taj from Kanpur, UP, will present the qawwali.


The secretary of Babal Pir Durgah committee, Sheikh Muhmad Parvez, said, 
The Urus is the annual event associated with this shrine that brings 
not only residents of Sanquelim together but also from the surrounding 
villages irrespective of religion and caste to pay their humble respects 
to the pious saint.


Babal Pir, was a pious saint who lived during the pre-Portuguese era in 
Sanquelim town. He emphasized the importance of humanitarian principles 
and the spirit of brotherhood.


In the temple of Shri Bhumka of Poriem, while invoking the deity, 
reference is made to Babal Pir. Hindus along with the Muslims respect 
the shrine and assemble on various occasions to express their gratitude 
to the saint.

astronomical spending being incurred on State Governors. In Goa, a

him including his Z+ security. The unwarranted expenditure on
Governors is an absolute waste of taxpayers’ money. It has become a
ceremonial post. Governors have become non-functional and all they do
is enjoy their last few years in public life at the cost of the State
exchequer.

Mr. N.D Tiwari had to resign in December 2009 as Andhra Pradesh
Governor in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct. He is now
scheduled to appear in Delhi High Court on 1st June to give his blood
sample in connection with a paternity suit filed against him.

Goa however has witnessed an exceptionally good Governor with Lt.
General J.F.R. Jacob in office from April 1998 to November 1999. The
State was under President’s rule during the first half of 1999. During
that period Governor Jacob ruled with a team of only two advisors
Alban Couto and M.N. Buch. Lt. General Jacob made the secretariat
accessible to ordinary citizens and paid surprise visits to bus
stands, local hospitals and Government offices. There was a total
crackdown on corruption.
