Re: [Goanet] GOA'S LIBERATION IN RETROSPECT By: Adv. Antonio Lobo
It should also be noted that the guy who arranged the seminar on Portuguese colonies (20 Oct 1961), P.D. Gaitondo, left Goa for Europe soon after he lost the election (for the Congress, a trouncing to remember). Why Gaitondo took this step is anyone's guess. Also, one needs to remember that these so-called freedom-fighters would be termed as terrorists in today's world, and they would have been arrested and thrown into prison without trial in today's India for doing the same things they did in Salazar's Goa. Note: It has been said that the seminar mentioned above probably forced Nehru's hand as the African delegates requested him to first look after his backyard before meddling in Africa's issues.

Re: [Goanet] The sermon at Colva Church at the 9.30 am Christmas Day Mass
Susan , there is no need for you to loose your mood on Christmas day by hearing the sermon of the priest . It is high time the Bishop calls all the priests for a seminar and explains to them the mental ability of the parishioners in todays world and the relevant topics to be preached in a church . The priest must have been a young guy out of the seminary and with a modern world mentality , graduated and attending the practical life of today. It may be true what he had preached , but there is always a forum for certain topics and for a certain type of congregation. It might have been well taken at a youth mass , but not for the Mass attended by different age groups. Pray that God inspires Fr. Oliver and he realises his mistake. GOD BLESS YOU Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2013 06:39:41 + From: susangarodrig...@gmail.com To: goa...@goanet.org CC: fredericknoron...@gmail.com Subject: [Goanet] The sermon at Colva Church at the 9.30 am Christmas Day Mass Someone needs to ask Fr Oliver Fernandes to explain the remarks/statements he made at the 9.30am English Mass, at the Colva Church. At the Christmas mass at 9.30, in English, Fr Fernandes' sermon topics were on Rape, abortion, women's underwear, lesbians, homosexuals Which I found extraordinary and wholly inappropriate given this Christmas mass is attended by families with young children and surely the message should have been on the birth of Christ! Fr Fernandes had the gall to preach on Christmas Day at the 9.30 English mass, that rape was incited by women and their dress code! I understand several people have already complained to the Colva church and I have written a letter to the Bishop, for if this is the message that a priest is promoting what chance do women have? Unfortunately his preaching on these topics is not an isolated incident, for having attended several of the Sunday 9.30 masses conducted in English at Colva church, I have had the misfortune of having to listen to lengthy sermons by Fr Oliver Fernandes which are sex obsessed (topics- blue movies, threesomes, etc) with little or no connection to the readings of the day. He appears to be a misogynist as he considers women responsible (at the Christmas mass he lectured the congregation on the issue of women not being like Mary, because they did not wear what he termed 'inner wear' at dances, does he think that at the time of Jesus and Mary, women wore bras and knickers? He made causal statements such as attending christmas dances leads to abortions! Someone needs to ask Fr Oliver Fernandes why he considers it acceptable to blame women for an act of aggression committed by men? Perhaps he can also explain why in many cultures (tribes across the world) women are topless or close to naked and are not subjected to rape, but according to Fr Fernandes women wearing dresses without sleeves in Goa means that women incite and are therefore responsible for rapes. I was saddened to read that tragically the rape victim despite her brave fight for life, died. But if priests, like Fr Fernandes, are so insensitive at times like this (given his sermon on Christmas day), and fail to see and accept that rape is a male issue, what chance do women have?

Re: [Goanet] Govt says no to storing ore rejects in fields - Press Note for kind favour of Publication.
Date: January 1, 2013 The Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP and GOA ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION GROUP-GEAG hails the decision of the Goa Government not to allow mining rejects to be stored in agricultural fields. Needless to say that this must have been the policy of any responsible government elected by the people, at all times. Nevertheless, better late than never. Goa's agriculture has seen the downfall since the promulgation of the Tenancy Act 1964 by the erstwhile MGP Government of Dayanand Bandokdar. The vibrant agricultural scene of Goa has since vanished in thin air from the time Goa's prime Agrarian Instititutions [the 'GAUMKARIES' later appelled as 'COMUNIDADES OF GOA by the erstwhile Portuguese who ruled Goa for 450 years and who preserved these Unique Goan Agrarian Institutions, realizing their worth in gold] were waylaid by this MGP government which ruled Goa for 17 years after the invasion and annexation of Goa by India in 1961, an irresponsible act, selling to gullible GOANs this vile act as LIBERATION , which infact was a blemish on the 'non-violence' promoting face of India at the United Nations level. It is saddening that the MGP government of Dayanand Bandodkar traded Goa's excellence in agriculture to vote-bank politics. The need of the hour is for the successive governments of Goa to bring back the lost glory of Goa through reviving it's agricultural potential, primarily through abolishing the Tenancy Act 1964 which allows vast amount of agricultural lands belonging to the Comunidades of Goa [which lands were tenanted] to remain fallow. Any worthwhile government that was elected to rule Goa after the so called liberation should have incorporated the clause into the Tenancy Act, 1964, whereby agricultural tenanted lands could not be left fallow on the pains of being taken over and re-allocated to those who would till the lands. This has been the code of Comunidades before the coming into being of the sad vile Tenancy Act, 1964, which has resulted in tenanted agricultural lands to be misused for building purposes by the government as well as by the tenants. It is a calamitous situation that the successive governments of GOA have allowed Goa to be utterly dependent on the agricultural produces from neighboring States, more specifically from Belgaum, Karwar and Hubli. This must stop if Goa is not to be held at ransom in times to come for it's needs of agricultural produces, which produces are unchecked and replete with dangerous to life pesticides contents which is bound to deteriorate the health and well being for Goa's population and those of the visiting tourists and other long term visitors. for Goa Su-Raj Party Goa Environmental Action Group Sd/- Floriano Lobo [Joint] General Secretary 383A Pirazona Moira Bardez Goa- 403 507 Telefax: (0832) 2470223 Mobile: 9890470896 Email: floriano.l...@gmail.com Website: www.goasu-raj.org

Date: January 1, 2013 The Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP has noted that the BJP's Government of Manohar Parrikar has saved itself from the brink of disaster by dropping the invite to other States of India to participate in GOA's Unique Carnaval. It would have been next to impossible for the Manohar Parrikar Government to survive if it was adamant to pursue it's half-baked policy on this sensitive issue. No government of the Goa, elected or otherwise can play with sensitivities of Goans which have been in existence since time immemorial. Goa's Carnaval in Panjim is unique to Goa only, as is Rio's to Brazil, Pointe-a-Pitre to Guadaloupe, Mazatlan to Mexico, Kingston to Jamaica and Port of Spain to Trinidade Tobago. Goa's Carnaval cannot and will not be diluted by political immaturity. The food festival is another matter altogether and cannot be mixed with the main theme of Goa's Carnaval. Increasingly, Goa's Carnaval has fallen prey to increasing COMMERCIAL infiltrations. This too must stop to keep Goa's Carnaval purely a Goan people's event. for Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP Sd/- Floriano Lobo General Secretary 383A Pirazona Moira Bardez Goa- 403 507 Telefax: (0832) 2470223 Mobile: 9890470896 Email: floriano.l...@gmail.com Website: www.goasu-raj.org
[Goanet] Fw: A slave at five years old
Avaaz.org - The World in Action Parliament is closing without passing the toughest child labour law in its history. Worse, the bill is supported by the majority of MPs, but it was ignored for weeks, because they felt it was not a ‘priority’! India is the world’s child labour capital -- kids as young as five are sold to traffickers and forced to work as modern-day slaves, abused and beaten. The historic new bill would ban outright any child labour under 14 and provide stipends for poor families to keep their children in school. But MPs have let it fall off their agenda, and Indian child rights groups say they badly need our help, now, to ramp up the public pressure. If the Avaaz community comes together, we can create a wave of attention to the bill, and push MPs to vote. Sign this urgent petition and forward it widely -- when we reach 1 million we’ll deliver our message to the Parliament with former child workers: http://www.avaaz.org/en/india_child_labour_g1/?bYgWvdbv=20360 A staggering 215 million children work in mines, quarries, and factories around the world. All nations have signed an agreement to put the eradication of child labour at the heart of their national education plans. But, India is home to the largest child labour force in the world. If the new law passes, it would ban all child labour for under 14-year-olds and all harmful work for under 18s. The law even has provisions to ensure it doesn’t hurt the poorest families -- enshrining the right to free education and proposing stipends to compensate any losses. Critics say the real problem isn’t the law, it’s bad enforcement. And it’s true that in the last three years in India less than 10% of the 450,000 reports of child labour were prosecuted under the existing, weak, law. But the new law packs some serious punch. The police will no longer have to wait for a court order to act. All forms of commercial child labour under 14 will be criminalised, and instead of meaningless fines or short prison sentences, the criminals will face tough penalties. While the majority of MPs say they'll support the bill, there's no political urgency to bring it to a vote. But each day they delay, more children are forced into a life of sweatshop misery. It’s up to us to push them over the edge. Sign the petition to India's MPs now, and share widely: http://www.avaaz.org/en/india_child_labour_g1/?bYgWvdbv=20360 The Avaaz community has campaigned to protect the children and the most vulnerable, time and time again. Just weeks ago, 1.2 million of us got together to help pass the most comprehensive education plan in Pakistan. How we treat our children is a reflection on our moral compass -- and it´s time to take firm steps against their abuse. Let’s join together to speak out for the future of India’s suffering children.

[Goanet] Will 2013 get us out of the gutter?
Dear readers Having just enjoyed a wonderful evening in London, United Kingdom, bringing in 2013 what struck me most was when wishing a Happy New Year to everyone, this was going to be just that A WISH. Let me explain, only yesterday I was advised that gutter politics had been used in the form of text messages to patrons wishing to attend the function organised by Viva Goa Entertainments in Harrow (who partly fund the administrative support for handicapped children in Goa) informing them it had been cancelled. This strategy could only be to steer patrons away so that they could buy tickets for another well established organisation which I can only describe as Helping Poor Children Stay Poor as, having been a community worker in the last 35 years, I have never seen any accountability publically for this fund raising event in the name of charity. Both organisers may wish to comment and share their views with us. Usually one would target those indulging in such activities and expose them for the world to see but not on this occasion. Our entire community needs to take collective responsibility for such behaviour, those that indulge in such activities and equally all the rest of us who have and are still continuing to allow such behaviour to thrive unchecked, unaccountable and unchallenged not just in the United Kingdom but in other parts of our world. Will there ever be a day when our community comes out of the gutter into the light, when our faith can be honestly reflected in all the things we do? In the Bible, Matthew (12:33) recorded what Christ said You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? In addition to 2013 being the Year of Faith, perhaps it can also be a start of honesty and reflection in our thoughts, words and deeds to get us all out of the gutter we continually find ourselves in.

[Goanet] uncouth Indian hordes strike again by Rajan Parrikar - issue 1080
Mr. Rajan Parrikar has described these miscreants very aptly. Not only Miramar, you must see Anjuna and other villages. It is totally traffic locked, one cannot move out of the vlllage. The roads are absolutely unsafe for pedestrians thanks to these drinking and drugging devils for whom Goa is a paradise, for us paradise lost. Our own children swear never to come here again during this time. In what way are these scums of the earth supporting the economy? They drive away foreign tourists, (no decent foreigners come here in December, except for the very low budget ones), they live on the beaches and mess them up, they scream and shout on the roads during the entire night not letting anyone sleep in peace. Please something must be done to curtail these terrible people. Oherwise Goa can only be labelled as an unsafe, lawless state. Bernice Pereira
