Hello Everyone,

Please join us for our “Annual” picnic in Torrance, Southern California, on 
Sunday May 6th. It promises to be a lot of fun. Our fabulous committee have 
prepared plenty of fun games for both adults and kids.

Looking forward to tasting a variety of “great” food!!! We initially were 
planning a cooking competition, but with each and every one of you, being 
excellent cooks we, would not have enough of prizes available for all.

“Potluck” is how it’s going to be. The GOA committee will provide white rice to 
go with your delicious curries and fried fish, (or whatever else you deem fit 
to bring) my mouth is watering, and hot dogs for the kids.

To be followed with tea and biscuits and bingo in our lovely Californian sunset.

The Carnival Crusie “Inspiration” leaving Long Beach Friday May 11th to 
Ensenada and returning to Long beach Monday May 14th is looking good.

I have got in touch with the ship’s Chef de Cuisine, through our fellow Goan 
Blaze Fernandes from San Diego. Was told that there is a Goan Sous Chef on 
board and that they are going to step up the Indian food and non veg items 
(that may include some Goan dishes) while we are on.

There is still time to book and our fellow Goan Travel Agent should be able to 
assist. Rose at 1-818-834-0169.

We currently have around 22 people and the more that sign up the crazier it 
will be.

Was also told that each adult is allowed one bottle of wine while boarding and 
the cruise also has one “formal” night, so dust out the Tux/Suit and fancy 
dresses.

There are a few of us who will not be disembarking the cruise ship at Ensenada 
for safety reasons.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

[Goanet] Goa's CM flies the way you and I do

I believe the kudos can come when Goans are safe in their land - ie rid of

While returning to Delhi from Goa yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to
find the chief minister of Goa, BJP's Manohar Parrikar, on the same flight.
No, this isn't the first time I was on board with a CM, a senior minister
or a politician. But what I saw - right from the time he boarded the
aircraft till the moment he exited the airport building at New Delhi -
impressed me so much that it has stayed with me till now and has made me
write this piece.

I tried to remember when was the last time I saw a CM or a senior political
leader of Mr Parrikar's stature queuing up like a common man to board a
flight. No flunkeys, no security, no attendant, carrying his own luggage -
and he was flying economy on a low-cost carrier, not first-class on a full
services airline. He wasn't the last to enter the flight nor was the flight
held up for him to arrive.

40 acquitted in Goa communal riots case for lack of evidence
PTI | Apr 18, 2012, 11.47AM IST

PANAJI: A local court on Wednesday acquitted 40 accused, including
senior BJP leaders, in the first ever communal riots case in the
state, which had occurred in the twin towns of Curchorem-Sanvordem in
2006.

The sessions court at Margao acquitted 40 accused, including the BJP
general secretary Satish Dhond and senior leader Sharmad Raiturcar.
The accused had been charged with unlawful assembly, mischief and
criminal trespass.

Riots had erupted after a mob demolished a madrassa on March 2-3,
2006, which was allegedly constructed illegally on the outskirts of
Sanvordem-Curchorem. The violence, which continued for three days
before the Central Industrial Security Force stepped in, saw property
worth crores of rupees gutted.

Acquitting the accused, judge Vikaya Pol said that the prosecution had
failed to prove case against the accused including the individual role
played by them. The judge also observed that merely becoming a part of
the assembly does not establish their crime.

The prosecution could not prove, beyond reasonable doubt, the act or
commission on the part of the accused, which would make him a member
of the unlawful assembly, the judge ruled.

The court also noted that the prosecution failed to prove that the
accused were a part of the assembly, which was responsible for
communal violence.

During the riots, which continued for two days, shops and
establishments belonging to the minority community had been targeted.

Officially, this is the first ever communal violence witnessed by the
state, which is known for peace.

Police had feared that the violence would spread in other parts of the
state as well. However, the communal harmony meetings between both the
communities had controlled the situation.

[Goanet] Goa Budget 2012-13 tailored to suit Saraswat, Bamon and mining interests

2012-04-18 Thread sebastian Rodrigues

http://bharatmukti.blogspot.in/2012/04/goa-budget-2012-13-tailored-to-suit.html

Chief
 Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar has made some remarks about mining in 
his budget 2012-13 speech in Goa legislative Assembly in paragraphs 133,
 134, 135 on pages 42, 43 and 44. He also remarked on barges in 
paragraph 151 on page 48, and paragraphs 233 on page 70. He also 
remarked on fees on handling of mineral dumps in paragraphs 235 and 236 
on page 71. It is important to subject his remarks to the test of 
scrutiny at this juncture. 

Let’s start with paragraph 133.  It starts ‘I am personally aware of the fact 
that the rural Goa is suffering on account of rampant mining activity. With 
this he admits that mining per se
 has caused damage and legal status of the mining operations are of no 
consequence. This is an important admission from the Chief Minister 
himself. However his future course of event is illogical. Instead of 
assessing how much damage mining has done to Goa for the past over 50 
years he takes flight into something else all together. If he was 
serious about the calculation of damage that mining had caused to Goa it
 would have been in fitness of things that he goes about assessing this 
damage. This he has not opted to do. That is his politics, his choice. 
The choice not to asses the quantum of damage caused to Goa because of 
the open cast mining is choice of Goa’s saraswat bamon Chief minister. 
If careful assessment was resorted to then CM would have realized that 
damage has longer restricted to rural Goa. Since he does not plan to go 
into all this we expect reality as pointed out by famous revolutionary 
philosopher of French Revolution Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s famous 
statement to come true:  ‘in the land of blind one eyed man is a king.’

His
 first statement admitted mining caused damage to rural Goa. We know 
mining industry has been controlled by Saraswat Brahmins. It is then 
matter logic to deduce that it is the Saraswats that damaged Goa through
 mining. Manohar Parrikar is a Saraswats bamon. His caste in collusion 
with others has damaged Goa specially mulnivasi people. How can one 
expect Parrikar to measure and calculate how much Saraswats has damaged 
Goa? If he does this then it would be suicidal for his Saraswats. He is 
only showing great bravado to hoodwink public opinion in his favor. 
Truth is never gets buried under public opinion or by majority. It is 
like a drop of oil that always stays above the sea of falsehood.

The second statement he makes ‘I reiterate the commitment of my government to 
forthwith stop all forms of illegal mining’. If
 Chief Minister was serious of stopping of the illegal mining then he 
would have declared to launch website for the department of mines and 
geology and list out all the legal and illegal mines that are in 
operation in Goa. To what extend the mines are legal and to what extend 
mines are illegal. Data with regard to T.C number, owner, operator, 
dates of licenses, and quantum of exports of each of the mines would 
have been made public on website. Not doing this leads to serious doubts
 about the transparency of his action against illegal mining. Also what 
action has been taken on illegal mines would have been made public. 
Nothing of this sort has been resorted to. This is serious matter and 
there is every possibility that illegal mine can become legal due to 
pecuniary favor to the ruling political parties or their members.  The damage 
to Goa that he admitted will continue.

While
 his first two statements are meant for attaining public sympathy, his 
third statement is tongue with taste for and from the mining industry 
that is controlled by Saraswats. He says ‘It
 will be the endeavor of my Government to regulate the legal operations 
in such a manner that these operations are socially responsive and 
environmentally sustainable, without allowing them to aggravate the 
suffering of the people further.’  What
 social responsiveness of mining then Chief Minister is talking about? 
Socially mining is controlled and promoted by saraswats and Brahmins in 
Goa as well as at central government level. They are either directly 
involved in mining or are facilitating granting of mining permissions 
through government offices for Brahmins ruled India since 1947 when 
transfer of power took place from British to Brahmins. No nationwide 
revolutionary movement so far has succeeded in identifying oppression of
 brahmin rule except Bharat Mukti Morcha. As a result there is complete 
hijacking of the system towards racists ends via systematic sabotage of 
Indian constitution so ardently written by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. The 
damage that CM admits is a manifestation of social reality of saraswat 
aggression against bhahujan samaj. Aggression through mining has been 
social response from the Saraswats in Goa and Brahmins in India. Mining 
industry has been already socially responsive and aggression has been 
their response. If Chief

Re: [Goanet] UK Goan Oral Histories Project - Observations

Dear Selma,

You have been teaching me a lot of things on Goanet. You think I am
incapable of knowing what sort of project it is and its purpose. The
only voyeuristic entertainment pleasure I may get is watching a
striptease.
My post was relevant as it was on Goanet. Besides, my post was
addressed to Eddie but you had to butt in. Your besharam-ponn
prompts you to do so and there's nothing we can do about it.
Since you cared to write, you haven't dealt with the counter-points
made by Melwyn. I will be writting to Eddie formally to get answers to
what Melwyn has pointed out.
As a PRO, Eddie provided his official views but with Melwyn further
countering them with his facts it would be pertinent on Eddie's part
to reply. If Eddie chooses to ignore, it would be seen that he has no
answers and that Melwyn's points carry the day.
The moment I knew that your were appointed Project Manager, I was
confident that you would take dominate it from start to finish. I
didn't believe your hogwash that you were just going to do
administrative work. I think I said it here before that you should
tell it to the tarvottis (maybe the modern tarvottis won't believe
you).
keep on doing what you do best. Well

[Goanet] Caste and Assolna - and BUSTED??

Good morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Bustas,

1: All of us are imperfect. We make errors of recall, comprehension, or
just reading. That is often how misrepresentations could originate.

2: Misrepresentations (esp negligent ones) are different from Goebellistic
machinations of the Busta variety.

3: I would have thought that ONCE a possible error was pointed out, the
error-makers (IF they were decent folks) would have sent in a correction or
a retraction.

4: Anyone seen any retractions in the pipeline?

(a) jc APRIL 12, 2012: It (The 'Caste' nonsense) has done enough of havoc
in East Africa (inter alia, pl read Ben Antao's The tailor's daughter).

(b) Bosco APRIL 15, 2012: I believe Ben's novel infers on the theatrics of
upper caste men in Goa (not East Africa) vis-a-vis lower caste women.

COMMENT:

Dear Herr Goebel,

I accept that, of late, some of us have been having a tough time debating
with those who read and review before scripting a post. It is something
that one is forced to get used to  in grad school.

Even so, while some of us follow that discipline after leaving 'school',
others, regrettably, do not. The latter, often, tend to CONJURE UP stuff to
suit their own pre-judged views of others. It matters little that they do
NOT really know the 'other' even marginally well enough to comment; but
comment they do. Hence, the need for triumphant Goebelization.

For instance, WHERE did jc state/infer/impute/dream ...that Goans went (to
Africa) there TO ESCAPE the caste system?

I always believed (and still do) that Goans (like many other folks)
migrated (or joined the merchant navy) for better economic prospects.
They still do IMHO.

Now here, particularly for Bosco's attention, is Ben's own excerpt
(from his NOVEL). I believe that (as almost always) the facts speak
for themselves.

http://www.chapterandverse.ca/book-excerpts/108-the-tailors-daughter.html
Eliza knew that Goan tailors prospered wherever they worked, although in
the larger Goan community their social status was low for they were victims
of caste discrimination. No matter where they settled, their caste followed
them, and Eliza’s parents had always been treated as inferior beings in
Nairobi, even though they were successful tailors.


With the best of wishes, as always

[Goanet] Historical reasons for humiliation of Scheduled Castes in Goa budget 2012-13

2012-04-18 Thread sebastian Rodrigues


http://bharatmukti.blogspot.in/2012/04/historical-reasons-for-humiliation-of.html

One
 very interesting feature of the budget of Manohar Parrikar for the year
 2012-13 is absence of any kind of financial allocations to Scheduled 
Caste people. In fact mentions SC only in the context of land 
acquisition under paragraph 152 on page number 49 of his budget speech. 
This is a policy statement of the Manohar Parrikar government. It is 
noteworthy to note that he has allocated Rs.300/- crores for welfare and
 overall development of the Scheduled Tribes including Rs.170.50 crores 
under Tribal Development. No allocation has been made to Scheduled caste
 people even though one BJP’s MLA has been elected from the reserved 
constituency for Scheduled Castes and currently occupies the post of 
Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly.

The situation is indeed poignant and 
deserves deep introspection as the complete humiliation via budget 
cannot be patched up by justifying it as an oversight. Scheduled caste 
people in India have been historical defenders of the country from the 
brahmanical Eurasian invasion for thousands of years. They were 
important category of people to involve in Gautam Buddha’s movement that
 ended brahmanical domination in India. Scheduled caste people have also
 been very important targets of brahmanical rulers after the brahmanical
 counter revolution led by Pushya Mitra Sung. Scheduled caste people 
were considered by Brahmins as their great foes. Scheduled caste people 
were stigmatized, humiliated and stripped off their civil liberties to 
facilitate brahmanical supremacy. They were pushed outside the borders 
of the village and were forced to live in ghettos. They were subjected 
to innumerable humiliations. Humiliations of Scheduled caste and other 
people were codified into law. This law is known as Manusmriti. India 
was ruled through Manusmiriti. In Maharastra rule of Brahmins was known 
as Peshwaee. They excelled 
in humiliating Scheduled caste people through the enforcement of 
Manusmriti. Scheduled caste people suffered under Peshwas for many 
centuries in Maharastra specially in and around Pune.  Pune
 was the headquarters of the Peshwas. Scheduled caste people revolted 
with deadly effect. 500 Scheduled caste men butchered 20,000 Peshwas in 
less than 24 hours and rule of Peshwas was put to an end. This historic 
day was 1st January 1818. The place was Koregaon, Pune. Few 
days back one of newspapers carried photograph of Mapusa BJP MLA Adv. 
Francis D’Souza who is now a minister in Bamon Manohar Parrikar’s 
government being crowned with Peswaee
 head gear under the hands of one of the brahmanical swamis. This is 
call for serious note for Mulnivasis in Goa. The system is being put in 
place to usher in Peshwaee in the State of Goa. 

Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar  used
 to visit Koregaon, Pune every year to derive inspiration for the 
liberation of mulnivasi people. Scheduled caste people were against 
backbone of the Schedule caste federation that Ambedkar formed.  In
 1942 75,000 Scheduled caste people attended the organisation’s 
convention that lasted for over 4 days. Dr. Ambedkar considered Brahmins
 as hereditary enemies of Scheduled caste people. He was vehement and 
powerful organizer and statesmen and was poisoned his second wife Savita
 Ranade, a Saraswat brahmin from Konkan region in collusion with Pandit 
Jawaharlal Nehru. Pandit Nehru, a Kashmiri brahmin never allowed Saxena 
report investigating the cause of death of Dr. Ambedkar to be tabled in 
the Parliament. In fact till date this report has not been tabled in the
 Parliament.

When Ambedkar brought back Buddism back to 
India it was to a large extend Scheduled caste people to embarced 
Buddism. Tenets of Budhism sharply contrasted with that of Brahmanism. 
And Ambedkar wanted to spread this to the entire country. In fact he 
made this public few month before his death in Kathmandu.Ambedkar
 was one of the first one to scholarly point out the foreign origin of 
the word ‘hindu’ in his speech titled ‘Annihilation of Caste’ in 1936 
which was never delivered due to cancellation of The 1936 Annual 
Conference of the Jat-Pat-Todak Mandal of Lahore but published in a book
 form later. He said “The first and foremost thing that must be 
recognized is that Hindu society is a myth. The name Hindu is itself a 
foreign name. It was given by the Mohammedans to the natives for the 
purpose of distinguishing themselves. It does not occur in any Sanskrit 
work prior to the Mohammedan invasion. They did not feel the necessity 
of a common name because they had no conception of their having 
constituted a community. Hindu society as such does not exist. It is 
only a collection of castes. Each caste is conscious of its existence. 
Its survival is the be all and end all of its existence. Castes do not 
even form a federation. A caste has no feeling that it is affiliated to 
other castes except when there is a Hindu-Muslim riot”.

I agree entirely with your #d above. No need to add to that comment.

We sometimes tend to forget the significant effort that the Catholic
Church (esp the Jesuits) played in the gradual dismantling of the
Apartheid caste system in India. No wonder, the partisan-hacktivists

[Goanet] Suspensions

2012-04-18 Thread Bernardo de Sousa
At regular intervals, the media announces the suspension of various
personalities. In recent weeks, for example, Director of Mines  Geology
Arvind Lolienkar, DySP Shamba Sawant and Registrar of Tiswadi Asha Kamat
have been suspended. One does not, however, hear of whether they get
unsuspended or reinstated or dismissed or charged or whatever. Do they
continue to draw a salary, obviously without doing a stroke of work, during
their period of suspension? Does anyone have statistics of the suspensions
and eventual consequences thereof for the past 5 years? 

Thanks, Bernardo

 me start with the very last line that Rajen Garabadu has chosen to endhis article on 
Goa's CM's virtues -  Mr Parrikar, take a bow!Indeed it is most fitting 
except that the 'exclamation mark' should be readas a  letter 'l'  i.e. 'bowl'And let me 
go back to the year 2004 when Manohar Parrikar was the CM. Therewas a national security 
debate ongoing and on this account a meeting of theall Party leaders along with the top 
security brass of Goa ( the Army/Navyrepresenting) was scheduled to take place in the 
chambers of the CM at thePorvorim's spanking new secretariat. And,  as the then President 
of the GoaSu-Raj Party I had  attended this meet with Manohar Parrikar chairing themeet. 
When most of the bigwigs and influential leaders of Goa's politicalparties had finished 
which included Dr. Wilfred D'Souza, Pratapsing RaojiRane, Luisinho Faleiro etc., I had 
stood from the back rows and ha
d spokenthus:Goa's security is indeed so lax that anyone, a lay person,   can walk 
up tothe oil tanks in Vasco da Gama and blow the port city to smithereens and oursecurity 
would have been sleeping. Coming back to the security, let  Goa'sChief Minister be 
protected with at least a semblance of security when it isknown that the CM is, at times 
oblivious to the fact that security isnecessary -- especially when he enjoys his 
occasional glass of fruit juiceat the Alankar Cinema, at Mapusa. If anything should 
happen to him, theState of Goa, whose CM he is , will be humiliated. And I had addressed 
theCM directly to take note of what I had said with him nodding his head.Now coming 
back to our most humble and lay CM, Mr. Manohar Parrikar, hecould have done whatever he 
wanted when he was not the CM of Goa. But nowthat he is, he has no option but to follow 
certain norms which are relatedto dignity of Office. It is alright that he chooses not to 
wear shoes. It isalright that he choos
es not to wear the minister's gadhi or a kurta-pajama( which even Churchill Alemao has worn to the chagrin of everyone else at aDelhi function to prove that he was more Indian than the Indian, beingbeing a suit-boot-tie wearing Goan ).If Manohar Parrikar is trying to sell himself as a humble bumble bee, thenthis reeks of populism. He has been out of the chair for far too long. Butthis is not the way that he has to try to remain glued to it by being cheap.Let him respect the State of Goa and the world of Goans who are nothing buta proud people, proud of their bearing and dignity. Let not  ManoharParrikar slight that in the eyes of the world, especially the Indian world,to liken Goa's Chief Minister to a  non-entity and one who is absolutelyshaky with elite norms. That does not mean that he has to follow in thefoot-steps of the erstwhile Congress Maharajas who got up and went to sleepat the cost of the Goan taxpayers.Let moderation prevail but let not the dignity of the State 
of Goa be put totest.CheersflorianoA proud but simple GOAN.goasuraj9890470896www.goasu-raj.orgwww.gragoa.comPS: We would like to know what our esteemed CM of Goa had to say on  NCTCat the Chief Minister's Conference at Delhi,  apart from being photographedside by side with the Hitler of Gujarat, more specifically of GODHRA.


[Goanet] Disaster for mulnivasi children through mid-day meal in Goa

2012-04-18 Thread sebastian Rodrigues

http://bharatmukti.blogspot.in/2012/04/disaster-for-mulnivasi-children-through.html

Plan
 for destroying Goa’s future is not only going through destruction of 
its land through legal and illegal mining but it is also insidiously 
being put to target Goa’s  mulnivasi
 children by depriving them food and even poisoning their bodies. The 
children who were part of the midday meal scheme came in for rude shock 
today with the reports in the press about how program of malnutrion is 
pursued by the brahmanical State. 

Undoubtedly all the children who are 
subjected to this problem are mulnivasi children. Bamons and Saraswats 
in Goa never allow their children to suffer in this way.  They
 run the state by occupying all the top positions. They are the one who 
has created grave risk to Goa’s mulnivasi children. Digambar Kamat, a 
Bamon ex- Chief Minister had purposefully supervised this disaster. He 
gave all his time to implement ADHAR bio-metric cards so that when 
mulnivasi in Goa will rise against bamon raj they will be tracked 
through computer data. He also supervised Goa’s great mining plunder. 
Saraswat Digambar Kamat also supervised systematic destruction of the 
Goa’s agriculture as growth level slumped into negative. 

Goa’s mulnivasi children are made to suffer
 in hunger. Goa’s Bamon’s and Sarawats are celebrating Golden jubilee of
 Liberation. Perhaps they are celebrating because they are sure that 
within next 50 years there will be no mulnivasi left in Goa, there will 
be no assertion of bhahujan samaj in Goa. So Saraswats are celebrating. 
This chief minister too has joined the celebration party. Isn’t an irony
 that after 50 years of Goa’s liberation our mulnivasi children have to 
be pushed into this situation of systematic death?  This
 happened not because of lack of funds or because of lack of food 
around. This happened because Bamon long term agenda is to destroy 
mulnivasi children by malnutrion and food poisoning. There are many 
instances of food poisoning of mulnivasi children through mid-day scheme
 in Goa. In last instance few months ago lizards was cooked in food and 
served to children resulting in food poisoning of several mulnivasi 
children inVasco. Bamon children never go and eat food from these midday
 food scheme. They are carefully kept healthy.  Otherwise
 ask Dempos, Salgaonkars, Timblos, Tarcars, Kamats, Parrikars whether 
their children are enrolled for midday meal in Goa. This is a case of 
gross discrimination and criminal action on the part of brahmanical 
system in place.

This midday scheme was introduced to 
destroy the education process by diverting attention of teachers from 
teaching into cooking in unofficial manner. Teachers are pushed into 
cooking rather than teaching. This is done so that mulnivasi children do
 not go about studying and getting good education. This is indeed 
pervert motive to start with. In addition central government conducts 
review of this scheme and found that Goa government had not done its 
proper implementation. This scheme by itself was bad and its 
implementation has been as per the needs of the brahmanical desires. 
Digambar Kamat had behaved this way purposefully.  The
 result is a ruin of a one generation surely to the delight of the 
ruling Brahmins in the state who despise and hate bhahjan samaj 
infinitely and devise various ways to subdue us. Bamons in Goa has 
special taste for the ruining of generations of mulnivasi in Goa. They 
already ruined two generations through devnagri konkni. And bamon 
Adv.Uday Bhembre is proud about the same.

Situation is so dangerous that there is no 
place even to do testing of food. Home Science College in Panjim which 
has facilities but no staff to carry on the tests. Total students 
affected are 91,000. Of these hundreds are found to be severely anemic. 
Anemia is result of malnutrition. Thousands suffering from stunted 
growth and are frail.

Current Goa chief minister Parrikar who was
 leader of the opposition when this conspiracy was unfolding from 2006 
onwards was aware of this conspiracy totally and yet did precious little
 to prevent it. He provides the evidence of his awareness of the gravity
 of the situation relating to midday scheme in his budget speech 
2012-13. On pages 39-40 paragraph 123 he audaciously uses Marathi phrase
 comparing mulnivasi children under this midday scheme to dogs. He 
begins “Bhik Nako, Pann Kutre 
Avar. Such situation exists in implementation of Mid-Day-Meal Scheme. 
Today, such a sick feeling is created by the scheme that students prefer
 to remain hungry than to have a meal. My government shall completely 
revamp the scheme in order to improve the quality and nourishment value 
of the food”. The result of this sick feeling today is there for 
every one to see. For the reason of political expediency CM has promised
 revamp of the scheme and improvement in the quality and nourishment 
value of the food. What he does will be proved on ground in due
