[Goanet] Asian Sensational Victories
Till the Second World War or thereabouts, the Asian people suffered from some sort of a complex. They thought Europeans were a master invincible race. At the beginning of the Second World War , the British sent its then technological wonder , a navy ship called ''Prince of Wales'' to Singapore to block any attempt by the Japanese navy of making any incursion into the Indian Ocean thus putting their Crown Jewel i.e. British India into a great peril. The Japanese navy or to be more precise their Kamikaze fighter planes made a short shrift and sent the Prince of Wales to the bottom of the ocean, thus creating a thrilling sensation in Asian people. The second such thrilling event took place in 1954 when a brilliant Vietnamese General called Vo Nguyen Giap at the head of a rag tag army employing guerrilla tactics defeated the mighty French Foreign Legion ( of Vive La France fame ) at the battle of Dien Bien Phu. General Giap died recently at the ripe old age of 102.
[Goanet] Christians want state laws to govern assets of churches
Church funds equal Indian Navy's annual budget Deccan Herald October 1, 2013 Christians want state laws to govern assets of churches Christians are a mere 2.5 per cent of the countrys population. But, the Church in India suffers from a case of plenty, says Remy Denis, All India Catholic Union President. Church authorities control funds equivalent to the Indian Navys annual budget. The Church is also the second largest employer after the government, he said. Eduardo Faleiro, a former Union minister and Goa NRI Commissioner, is among the growing number of Catholics like Prof Denis, who support a law to govern Church properties and a far greater degree of transparency in the way the Church manages its earthly assets. The Church is not a symbol of power but service, and democratic laws must apply to it equally. All religions must be kept on the same footing, Faleiro said at a conference called to debate the matter of bringing Church properties under state laws. The laws that govern Church properties in Goa were enacted during the Portuguese regime. The same laws have long since been repealed in Portugal, Faleiro said. Almost all other religions in India have laws enacted to administer their properties, K T Thomas, former Supreme Court judge, said. Hindu temples are governed by laws specifically enacted for each trust and their accounts are subject to judicial review. The Sikhs, one of the smallest religious groups in the country, have the Sikh Gurudwara Act. Muslim trust properties comes under the Wakf Act. I feel the opposition from the Christians is on account of a fear that a provision for judicial scrutiny is likely to expose the expenses and magnitude of wealth of the denomination, Thomas said. The head of the Believers Church had recently acquired a huge plantation in Kerala for Rs 123 crore. This was apart from the vast assets already held by the denomination, he said. The Church in Kerala also runs its own media network. Thomas said there was a misplaced apprehension that the Parliament, through legislation, would grab the properties of the churches. No such law could be passed by Parliament or State legislatures, he said. All religious denominations have the right to own and acquire properties, establish and maintain religious institutions. But, in matters of administration of your properties you have to abide by the law, he said.

The situation is also getting uncontrollable for Kangress party too!! Who is to be blamed for this creation no one knows...every Kangressman is showing figure to other Kangressman... But yes, only one darling boy in the Kangress party can patch up the situation that too by publicly saying, 'Creation of Telengana by Union Cabinet Ministers Meeting is NONSENSE and the decision should be 'TORN UP and THROWN AWAY. With these few words the growing agitations can be put to rest and yet RahulBaba will be a darling boy of UNEDUCATED MASSES!!! What say?

Re: [Goanet] Naval airport at Karwar (Mario Vaz, Chinchinim) (Goanet Reformat)
Re:Naval airport at Karwar (Mario Vaz, Chinchinim) (Goanet Reformat) In response to Mr. Mario Vaz's letter Naval Airport at Karwar, GFDO would like to state that when individuals come together for a cause, a set of priorities is created, based upon which a strategy is formulated. From Mario Vaz's letter, it is abundantly clear that acquiring civilian status for Dabolim Airport and getting the Navy out is a burning priority for him. Therefore, going by the strong opinion expressed by him, he is absolutely free to set up his own organisation and push for this issue so very close to his heart, or he could join GFDO and try to convince its members of the urgency of the issue he has raised over and above the priorities arrived at by them after some thought and deliberation. After all, it is an indisputable fact of life that strong convictions backed by practical and tangible support is always appreciated. GFDO is well aware of the sacrifices made by ordinary people who get together and give of their time, energy and even finances in campaigning and working for community issues. Hence it will never publicly undermine ordinary citizens engaged in a struggle for a public cause, even if there are underlying differences in perceptions. As such, whatever path Mr. Mario Vaz may choose to tread, GFDO wishes him all success and the very best in his endeavours. Fr, Eremito Rebelo, Convenor, GFDO -- **

[Goanet] Urgent Press Note: Citizens on 05-10-2013 at 7:30am Outside Commissioner of Police Residence seeking justice.
URGENT PRESS STATEMENT: RE: Activists wait from 7.30 a.m today, October 05 to meet with Dr. Satyapal Singh, Mumbai Police Commissioner outside his residence to discuss some contentious issues. Activists told to meet him at the Grievance Day being held at V.P. Police Station which they did today, October 05 at 11.00 a.m. Police Commissioner says, Natural justice must be done and documents including status and compliances as requested should be given without any delay. Will speak with the Addl. Commissioner, Western Zone, Shri Vishwas Nangre-Patil to do the needful. [Tried to call in our presence but Mr. Nangre-Patil's line was busy]. Police Commissioner requested us to meet with the Add;. Commissioner. We waited the whole day but there was no call from his office for this meeting. Addl. Commissioner Nangre-Patil says Activists should be helped and protected but unfortunately, Local Bandra and Khar Police Station differ from their Superiors and refuse to follow instructions. Detailed memorandum of complaints attached which are self explanatory. For more details you could speak with Ms Aftab Siddiqui.[9821887020] If this is how the Police treat Activists what must be happening to the common man??? We shudder to think There was some excitement when three activists, Ms Aftab Siddiqui, Chairperson, ALM 144, Ms Roshni Shaikh and Mr. Dolphy Dsouza, Convenor -Police Reforms Watch were at the gate of the residence of Shri Satyapal Singh, Police Commissioner of Mumbai today, October 05 at 7.30 a.m. The previous day, Ms Siddiqui had handed over a personal note to the Security of the Police Commissioner at his residence that we would like to meet with him tommorrow, October 05 to discuss the contentious issues. We were told that we could meet him at the Grievance Day which is being held at V.P.Police Station, Charni Road, October 05 which the activists did. The Police Commissioner gave a patient hearing and said that Natural Justice should be given and relevant complaince reports should be given without any further delay. He said that he would speak with Mr.Vishwas Nangre-Patil, Addl. Commissioner, Western Zone, which he tried in our presence but the line was busy. He asked us to meet with Mr. Nangre- Patil so that the needful could be done. But there has been no call for this meeting from his office till now. Ms Aftab Siddiqui explained the sequence of events to the Police Commissioner and why finally we had to meet with him to seek his intervention.. If the concerned police stations do not follow instructions of two of the finest officers namely, Addl.Commissioner Vishwas Nangre Patil and DCP Cherring Dorje with whom she was following regularly what hope is there to resolve such contenious issues some of which are pending since the last 3 years. In reference to Bandra West Police Station, Item no 02 of 11/08/13, the Adddl. Commissioner Vishwas Nangre-Patil during the meeting on 16/09/13 issued a Memo to ACP Mr. Suresh Marathe and has also re-opened the Enquiry to give full fledged justice. The Enquiry no is 352/13. We thank him for his intervention. ALM 144, 33rd Road, Khar and Police Reforms Watch demands that information pertaining to the status, compliance reports of these cases as earmarked in the detailed note should be given without any further delay. The said Memorandum has also been given to the relevant police stations as also Add.Commissioner, Shri Vishwas Nangre Patil and DCP Shri Cherring Dorje. We also need to put on notice that if this is not done, we will have no choice but to escalate the protests outside the DGP's and Home Minister's residences. Is this too much to expect from the Police Stations. If from a data from one complainant, who has been following since the last 3 years, so many cases are un-resolved, what about the others?? The Home Minister the other day remarked Let every citizen give one minute to the City but here 3 years have passed by yet no resolution to the issues. warm regards, Ms Aftab Siddique Dolphy Elma Dsouza 09821887020 09820226227 Chairperson: 33 rd R Khar ALM-144, Convenor B-4/528, Sadanand Classic, Police Reforms Watch 33rd Road, Khar, Mumbai 400 05243, Kalina,Santacruz East, Mumbai 400 029

Re: [Goanet] 'Casteing' aspersions - a quick response to a knee-jerk Gust from the recent past
My dear Professor Pinto On this relatively light Saturday, a day on which I received a spirited verbal attack (on Marshall Mendonza and myself) from the shadows of Aldona, I thought that I'd also read your posts of the past two months. No question that your recent knee-jerk posts encouraged me to do some extra research. So, here goes. You are free to slam my responses (with or without knowledge). Please be advised that I can speak ONLY based on my experience and knowledge. I prefer NOT to speak on the basis of non-knowledge. re: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2013-September/234249.html Augusto Pinto (AP) to jc / jc's responses interspersed: AP1: Everyone has seen the pathetically lame responses you gave when you say that you don't know about the distinctions among the Confraria of Velim among many other obfuscations and evasions and outright lies. jc1: I am delighted to note that 'everyone has seen my responses'. As nobody else from the 'everybody' has called my responses, 'obfuscations and evasions and outright lies', I invite you as politely or unpolitely as possible to please clarify HOW you came to form an opinion about MY PERSONAL non-knowledge of anything incl something called Confraria - something about which I still do not know anything.nor do I want to know. IF you know better about what I know tell us. == AP2: Don't you think dear jc, that you would be doing yourself a favor by acknowledging that you belong to a caste whose ancestors have harassed and humiliated the lower castes such as Mahars and Gawdas? Don't you think you should be doing your best to assuage the hurt that they have done instead of living in a state of denial? jc2: Allow me please, dear Sirjee, to confirm yet again that I DO NOT belong to any caste. I also repeat that I am a practising Roman Catholic by choice. If I ever practiced the Caste System in any shape or form, that would automatically make me (IMHO) a non-Catholic. As I have stated before, I do not know IF my ancestors were Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim or Atheists. I do NOT even want to know. Besides, I personally believe, rightly or wrongly, that those 'ostensible' Catholics who have post-1961 been displaying their (pre-conversion) Hindu surname in their outpourings, are doing so to display their superiority over other Catholics. That is adding to the oxymornishness of the term Catholic Bamon/Brahmin' et al. If you must categorize me, please note that I prefer to consider myself whatever is the lowest among the non-'castes'. Trust me, life is simpler and cheaper outside that Apartheid circus tent. About taking responsibility for the perceived or real actions of my forebears, please be advised that I will take responsibility ONLY for MY actions (now that NONE of my children are minors). The next thing I might hear from some non-Goan is I must take responsibility for Augusto's knee-jerk reactions because Augusto is also a Goan. No such thing. The Law of Tort is quite specific about WHO bears responsibility for WHAT. You are a University Professor. You should know that. == AP3: No one is asking you to open your pocket, at least as of now nobody has, but surely you could at least have the decency to acknowledge the wrongs of your ancestors and have the courage to say that you will refuse to follow in the footsteps of your forbears and indeed work towards the welfare of the communities who were affected by them. jc3: Please vide the response posted supra in jc2 good wishes as always. jc

[Goanet] Goan Voice Sunday Column: Neighbours, but foes on and off the field. By Norman Da Costa
Source: www.goanvoice.org.uk Newsletter of 6 Oct. 2013: The most prominent Goan clubs in Nairobi, Kenya, were separated by less than a mile. But thats about as close they ever got as there was no neighbourly love displayed by either the Goan Institute or Railway Goan Institute when their teams met on the sports field. There existed an intense rivalry between the two of Juja Roads greatest sports institutions in East Africa and, thankfully, it paled in relationship to the ones that exist in other parts of the world. The Manchester and Milan derbies have been well documented, but none has impacted any sport like the one that exists between Glasgows sworn rivals Celtic and Rangers. Political and religious undertones have combined to make this the most heated rivalry in soccer and transcended sports at the club level. At the national level its Pakistan versus India that captivates and brings out the worst in the millions of fans around the world and on both sides of the border created in 1947. As a result of terrorist attacks on Indian soil by armed Pakistani insurgents, India has cut off all ties with their neighbours and it will be ages before the two meet in any bilateral series much to the chagrin of the true fans. While both the GI and RGI fielded top-notch soccer, cricket, badminton and tennis teams, most if not all of the attention of the members was focused on field hockey. And passions usually went up a notch during the M.R. De Souza Gold Cup tournament held in Nairobi at Easter time. The competition attracted the crème de la crème of clubs from across East Africa and winning this elusive trophy had a similar feeling to lifting soccers World Cup. RGI won it on three occasions with the GI taking it home once. GI and RGI met in this competition on several occasions and the players always had their parentage questioned by the rabid fans. Its hard to believe but the only place where sanity prevailed was on the City Park murram field. Every match between the two rivals was tough and hard-hitting with no quarter given, but there were no serious stick-swinging incidents. One year, unfortunately, passions spilled over the sidelines and that led to a major divide between the two clubs. I believe it was in 1967 when the RGI Garrets produced the Gold Cups greatest upset. They knocked out highly-favoured G.I. in the third round on RGIs newly-laid turf field, the first one of its kind in East Africa. The game was marred by petty fouls and, at the final whistle, one of the referees was manhandled by some of the players. It was an embarrassing loss since GIs lineup included all of its Olympic players. That same night a couple of senior RGI players visited the GI and that may not have been too smart a move. One of them was allegedly assaulted and since the player in question was a high-ranked Olympian, the local newspapers gave the court case that followed maximum coverage. The charges were tossed out. But the bitter feelings lingered on for a couple of years until the Railways decided to take back their land. All of the clubs top players in every sport were invited to join the GI, but a few of the clubs diehards led by Olympian inside-left Reynolds de Souza decided to give the Gold Cup one more shot in 1970 before the curtain came down on a storied institution. Battling with sheer guts and determination the team reached the semifinals before bowing out to eventual champion Nairobi Sikh Union. The rivalry died in 1971 when the RGI was dissolved and the GI, with the infusion of new players, continued to be a force on the local scene but the Gold Cup eluded it. While some of the older members of both clubs resented each other, they reluctantly banded together when the two teams came up against perennial powerhouses Nairobi Sikh Union, Sir Ali Muslims Club and Kenya Police. It was best though not to cross the senior members of each club as they held deep grudges for reasons best known to them. Take three-time Olympian Hilary Fernandes, one of the countrys best-known players who in his prime played for the Police, the RGI and the GI before joining the Sikh Union. It was following his move to Sikh Union that Hilary proposed to his high school sweetheart Elsie. Since the brides father Braz Fernandes was a staunch GI member the couple decided the reception would be held there. The request was turned down. No problem. Move it to the RGI where Hilary played on two Gold Cup-winning teams. RGI also shockingly turned Hilary and Elsie down and they were married at the Premier (formerly Patel) Club. It was a small-minded reaction to Hilary moving to Sikh Union. The Sikhs treated him royally and honoured him by making him the only non-Sikh to captain the team. He didnt disappoint his new club by leading it to the Gold Cup. Petty politics played a huge role at most Goan clubs in East Africa and it was a way of life. Most of these players who

[Goanet] Opinion: Why Nina Davuluri matters (Roland Mascarenhas)
Opinion: Why Nina Davuluri matters By ROLAND MASCARENHAS After Nina Davuluri was crowned Miss America, the first of Indian descent in the pageant’s history, the news elicited some predictable reactions. The initial surprise was followed by a sense of satisfaction that attitudes were moving in the right direction, but the feel-good mood was soured by a torrent of racist slurs from social media trolls, who referred to the beauty queen as a “foreigner” and even a “terrorist.” Supporters quickly responded with condemnation of these detractors as “ignorant” and “uneducated,” and bolstered Davuluri’s star status. Reactions to her triumph and, to some extent, the spectacle itself, provide insights into our society — specifically, the evolving role of citizens of Indian descent and of the media. Beauty pageants, once obsessed with physical attractiveness, have become a platform for rising talents in media and entertainment — with Diane Sawyer, Vanessa Williams, Sarah Palin and Halle Berry among the more prominent winners. While in years past, height, weight and the bathing suit competition seemed to matter most, judges today grade contestants on being articulate, polite and confident. A detailed personal interview not seen on television accounts for 25 per cent of the score and the talent segment is worth 35 per cent. Personality, social fluency and distinctiveness are the winning qualities of Miss America. The contest is no longer a parade of pulchritude but rather a screening for a media-savvy celebrity who will assume a high profile representing her country in an inter-connected, and troubled, world. Enter Nina Davuluri. Read the entire article: http://bit.ly/NinaDavuluri Goanet News www.goanet.org
Re: [Goanet] Goanet Reader: Being Goan is a state of mind, more than a mere geographical accident (Tino de Sa)
Bravo Tino. There are people who babble because they cannot think of anything worthwhile to do and want to be noticed. Let it not be forgotten that Goans had to leave Goa for want of opportunity in Goa and wherever they pegged their tents, they contributed and left a noticeable mark. It is undoubted and undeniable that those who remained in Goa, many secured here by their ancestral provenances, have also created an indelible presence and mark that they passed this way too in this world. But those who had to go to other places in search of bread, if not butter, did well for themselves and left blazing trails. And many are coming back, like frogs to their pond or salmon to their spot of birth, when their out-of-Goa odyssey is successfully done. I am one of those. There is also a reason why I do not and cannot live in my ancestral house but then, that is no one else's concern but mine. U C D'Souza ucdmld at gmail.com

Re: [Goanet] Malaika... which one?
Hi Frederick ! Nothing can be complete with the Swahili ballad- Malaika (My Angel in English) without reference to the original writer of the song- Fadhili Williams and his subsequent duet with Mona Miller- both from the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa. Their version is also the only one with English lyrics. For non-Swahili speakers, some of the songs have linguistic distortions. While Makeba and Belafonte also have a duet version which was not on the list. When-ever I sing Malaika at various picnics/sing alongs in New York city and New Jersey, I use the first three verses of Fadhili and Mona Miller's and in the fourth stanza, I would sing one of the popular verses from Belafonte/Makeba in place of Fadhili's/ Mona Miller's second English verse. When I interviewed Mona Miller in Dar es Salaam in the mid-seventies during her only singing tour to Tanzania, she told me that she should be singing some of Makeba's popular South African songs in retribution for Makeba singing her songs without her or their permission.- referring also to Fadhili. Likewise, Fadhili in his obituary in the New York Times some years ago , the writer makes reference to the fact that Fadhili felt that he was given a raw deal by most of those who sang Malaika in that he did not receive any royalties and credit as the song writer.
