[Goanet] First bikinis, now political theatre: Goa BJP to muzzle neta criticism in 'tiatrs'
http://www.firstpost.com/india/first-bikinis-now-political-theatre-goa-bjp-to-muzzle-criticism-of-netas-in-tiatrs-1653675.html First bikinis, now political theatre: Goa BJP to muzzle neta criticism in 'tiatrs' By Mayabhushan Nagvenkar Panaji: First, it was about banning bikinis and mini-skirts, then brow-beating 'rogue' NGOs and activists. Now, the Opposition as well as civil society, has charged the Goa government with muzzling the socially oriented, but slapstick Konkani theatre. It is extremely popular, especially with the Christian community which accounts for more than a quarter of the state's population. Organisers and artistes performing in the tiatrs (Konkani theatre) may soon have to submit a formal undertaking to south Goa's biggest and most well-known state-run theatre performing facility, the Ravindra Bhavan, promising not to speak against politicians, government officials and VIPs, while performing onstage. Goa's social media, civil society and the tiatr-world was first shocked and then went into a tizzy after an Opposition MLA Vijai Sardessai on Monday, brandished in the state legislative assembly a document, which he claimed was sourced from the Ravindra Bhavan and openly threatened censorship of Goa's most popular and revenue generating live art-form. A Tiatr performance: Image from tiatr academy websiteA Tiatr performance: Image from tiatr academy website The controversial 'undertaking form', which he claimed has to be signed by the theatre groups before staging a performance, directs artistes and the organizer to ensure that there is no criticism of the government, ministers, MLAs/VIPs made during on-stage performances at Ravindra Bhavan, Margao. No criticism of any individual/institution shall be made during on-stage performances at Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, it also says, further warning the signee, that they would not be allowed use of the facility if they violate these norms. Goa's minister for Art and Culture Dayanand Mandrekar did not refute the legitimacy of the document, but distanced himself from the issue by telling the House that it could have been issued by semi-autonomous bodies which function under his ministry, such as the Ravindra Bhavan. But Sardessai claims that the document, coming on the heels of demands for a ban on revealing clothing and a crackdown on NGOs and activists, only goes to show that there is already an undeclared emergency in Goa imposed by the BJP-led coalition government. You are bringing a legislation to bring NGOs to book, a case has been filed against the leader of opposition and now you are silencing tiatrists. This is an undeclared emergency, Sardessai said. Interestingly, Sardessai was also joined by ruling MLA Vishnu Wagh, himself an accomplished playwright and writer, who wants the state art and culture ministry to lay their hands off theatre artists. Tiatr also has a social context. Onstage, tiatr songs and actors often comment and discuss about what's happening around them. They criticise too and sometimes they cross the line. If they criticise, we have laws to handle it, but why should a government fear criticism, Wagh said. For thousands of Goans, a tiatr is more than just a play or a theatre outing. With its socially and politically relevant and organic themes, watching a tiatr show on weekends, religious feast days and holidays is like watching their own lives play out under bright lights, mixed with a bit of banter and slapstick fun and a touch of tragedy. Interestingly, the roots of the tiatr are embedded not in an Indian art form, but owes its inspiration to Italian operettas which were a rage in colonial India, especially erstwhile Bombay. The story goes that the first Konkani adaptation of the Operetta was performed in Mumbai in 1892, which makes the tiatr legacy more than a century old. 'Prince' Jacob, who could with all modesty be reckoned as the Amitabh Bachchan of Goa's tiatr, claims that signing such an undertaking could spell disaster for this creative legacy, which has often thrived on taking on errant politicians and shortcomings in society. The issue has been taken up in the Goa assembly as well: PTIThe issue has been taken up in the Goa assembly as well: PTI ...This is dictatorship. Who are these people to tell us what to do... Today they are telling us what not to do. Tomorrow they will be telling us to write the tiatr like this or like that, said Jacob, who incidentally heads the state-run Tiatr Academy of Goa. Jacob insisted that his reaction was personal. Wilson Mazarello, who goes by the name of 'Wilmix' another renowned tiatrist, however chose not to mince his words. We oppose this tooth and nail... and will continue to do so... in our country no government nor Ravindra Bhavan can pass strictures on freedom of expression, Mazarello told Firstpost. The chairman of the Ravindra Bhavan Damu Naik however claimed that the controversy over the undertaking form was politically motivated and that the undertaking form had

Maharashtra is among the worse in terms of its record on the Supreme Court 2006 directives on police reforms. Worse, inspite of our campaign, in February 2014, the state passed the Maharashtra Police (Amendment) Ordinance 2014 (now an Act) which too does not comply with the Court's scheme, dilutes accountability mechanisms and strengthens government / politicians’ control over appointments, postings and interferences. Our demand is that the state should go in for a comprehensive review of the police act and involve the public through consultations. Our campaign is now focusing on educating the public on key concerns of the Act as well as of bad legislative practice (no debate and public consultations were held before passing the Maharashtra Police (Amendment) Act 2014). An eminent panel of Shri Julio Rebeiro, former Mumbai Police Commissioner Chairman-PCGT and Ms Maja Daruwalla, Director- CHRI are key note speakers. The presentation will be followed by an open discussions and the action plan for the way forward. Your presence will exert pressure on the Government for Better Laws and Better Policing which will lead to more safety for all of us including our women and children. Please encourage your friends to attend and pass the message around. A handbook “101 things you wanted to know about the Police But were afraid to Ask” by CHRI will be distributed to each of the participants free. Please confirm your presence to enable us bring sufficient copies of the Policing Handbook either on email or sms our team: policereformswa...@gmail.com or sms: Salil :9324869143 / Bhaskar:9892102424 / Bhavesh: 9821175068/ Stanley: 9820881300/ Mohd.

[Goanet] Parrikar’s Re. 1 offer deal to protesting Ponda Vendors
Parrikar’s Re. 1 offer deal to protesting Ponda Vendors Vendors to pay just Re.1 extra (20% rise from Rs.5) Offer that simply cannot be rejected. Only problem they may have is to tender exact change i.e. Rs.6 Parrikar will also agreed to compensate PMC (Ponda) for the revenue lost not from his pocket but from Tax payer’s money. In the mean time, Panjjim sopokars had decided to demand same rate as Ponda as they (in Ponnje) paying Rs.10 per 1x1m space. They also demanded refund of excess paid since December 2008, a difference of Rs.4 per day or Rs.1460 per year i.e. 6 years x Rs.1460 = Rs.8,760 per head plus 9% compounded interest. There are about 400 sopekars in this category. i.e. 8760x400 = 35,04,000 plus interests CCP Mayor, who always mourns saying not enough money in the coffers, demanded that Parrikar should also compensate him for the revenue lost i.e. Rs.4 per head per day (from present Rs.10 to Rs.6) Which is roughly 4x400x30 = 48,000 per month in this category alone. Again, Sopekars who were quoting items per Rs.20, 4 years ago, now quoting the same qnty per Rs.50 e.g. Chickoo were quotes 8 for Rs.20, the same now quoted 8 for 50 Public at large ridiculed Parrikar’s decision to raise sopo by just Re.1 saying that even a beggar will refuse to take Re.

[Goanet] Goa theatre artist claims getting threats
Goa theatre artist claims getting threats Big News Network (IANS) http://www.bignewsnetwork.com/ Thursday 7th August, 2014 Two days after a controversy over censorship of local Konkani theatre erupted in Goa, a theatre actor-producer has claimed that he has received telephonic threats, including one allegedly from a right wing Hindu group, over an upcoming performance on the subject of communalism. Speaking to IANS Thursday Tousif de Navelim said that he got four calls from various numbers in Goa and Karnataka, and each caller warned him against going ahead with his tiatr (theatre in Konkani), scheduled to be held Aug 9 in the south Goan town of Margao, 35 kms from Panaji. I got four calls today threatening me against staging the tiatr. One caller threatened to kill me if the play was staged. Another caller who claimed he was from the Sanatan Sanstha said that his (onstage) set would be ransacked on the morning of the performance, Tousif alleged. The tiatrist also claimed he was awaiting legal counsel before heading for the local police station to file a formal complaint. The play 'Atankvadi Goeant Naka' (Don't want terrorists in Goa), posters of which have already been distributed across the state, deals with the subject of communalism in Goa and even names a notorious right wing activist-politician. My intention behind the play is to protect Goan unity. We do not want people to come to Goa and try to divide us, he further said. When contacted for comment, spokesperson for the Goa-based Sanatan Sanstha Manoj Solanki said that the Sanstha had always believed in peaceful protests and dialogue was their preferred mode for conflict redressal. After asking for the mobile numbers from which the threats were made and checking them with the Sanstha's database, Solanki said: These numbers do not belong to our sadhaks (the Sanstha's disciples). We do not believe in breaking the law. Our protests are always peaceful. The Congress party meanwhile, has described the threats to Tousif as the beginning of Talibanisation of Goa. The hidden agenda is now showing up. This is a dangerous trend and needs to be countered democratically as well as legally, party spokesperson Durgadas Kamat said. On Tuesday, the BJP-led coalition government was charged by the opposition as well as the tiatr industry of trying to muzzle freedom of expression, after an opposition MLA brought to light an official document released by a division of the art and culture ministry, which mandated theatre artists to ensure in writing that they will not criticise government officials, politicians, MLAs and VIPs. The government later claimed it was a draft notification and had not been endorsed formally. The threats come at a time when there have been calls for a Hindu nation by Goa's cabinet ministers along with demands made by another cabinet minister for a ban on bikinis, mini-skirts and pub culture. - See more at: http://www.bignewsnetwork.com/index.php/sid/224525053#sthash.HU3Prb59.dpuf -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.
[Goanet] Water released from Anjunem, Amthane dams
-- Samir Umarye Keri: With the Anjunem dam in Sattari and Amthane dam in Bicholim attaining their maximum water levels, the water resource department released the excess water on Wednesday. The catchment areas of both these dams are also receiving the required amount of rainfall. Anjunem dam at Keri-Sattari is a medium-scale irrigation project located at the upstream end of a 1.5 km long gorge of the Costinadi. It attained 90.09m of water on Wednesday, so executive engineer Dnyaneshwar Salelkar decided to release the excess water. He told TOI, All four gates have been opened 2cm each for discharging a total of 3 cubic metre of water. We released the excess water in the morning as it was low tide. Releasing of water will be controlled in the late evening during the high tide starting at 8.05pm. We have already posted trained and skilled staff at the dam to deal with the situation. Anjunem dam has an area of 2.325sq km of reservoir with a total storage capacity of 4,483 hectare metre (hams). Amthane is a minor irrigation dam with an area of 0.7sq km reservoir and has a capacity of 585 hams. As the Amthane dam was overflowing and had attained 50.05m, water was released on Wednesday morning. Officials of WRD have already alerted villagers about the releasing of excess water from both these dams. As the Chorla Ghat border areas from Maharashtra and Karnataka are currently receiving continuous heavy rains, the Valvonti and the Bicholim rivers are overflowing and there is a possibility of flooding in Bicholim and Sakhali towns.

[Goanet] Better Policing for a Safer Goa
Toronto has a powerful police board that comprises of eminent civilians who appoint the Police Chief on a fixed term contract, lays down broad police policy, and oversees its general functioning. With much less power but using people power instead, is Bombay's Police Reforms Watch with convenor Dolphy D'Souza and his panel with Retired Police Commissioner, Governor and Ambassador Julius Ribeiro playing a prominent part. The people in Goa would do well to emulate the Police Reforms Watch of Bombay and use it as a model to build their own unique organization. In a state where the Chief Minister is a hard-nosed autocrat, like Canada's prime minister Stephen Harper, this is an absolute necessity. A CM has the authority to refuse a top cop's posting to his state if he feels he will not bend to his will and command. Parrikar does this often along with ordering the director general like he was his puppet. I don't know if the current police chief is strong enough to resist this. The point is that the people of Goa should not depend on CM-DG dynamics and should look after their own interests. Talking of Parrkar, has anyone noticed that he has become more Catholic than the Pope, so to say? While Modi is treading on egg shells despite his party's brute majority, our Parrikar because of his perceived friendship with Modi is rushing in where angels fear to tread. See his recent requirement that that tiatrists give an undertaking that they will not criticize ministers in their plays. What Parrikar doesn't know is that in Modi he has found another hard nosed pracharak turned PM of India who will dump him in no time if he is embarrassed in his current chair, shared BJP history or not.

Thanks for that JC. I am tempted to visit Karachi and see what those lovely pics show. When there, a visit with Menino Fernandes would also be a must. Mentioned in the article in passing, he is from Karachi and is a repository of Goan history in Pakistan.

Re: [Goanet] Thanks Goanet........Kadambas of South India
part of Mr.Nilkant Sah Paddams writing, he is the coterie disciple. The Kadamba rule in south India is marked by glory and prosperity though the ruling dynasty fell the centuries old organization with its several institutions run by hereditary workers was too strong to fade away became the royal coterie. According to Mr.Upadhiaya assume that Jayesha the grandson of the Kadambarasa of Hangal with the help from his son Malikar II must have carried out their business managed by continuity of hereditary appointments. They are the ones who reinvented the family as Haliyal small businessmen selling timber and construction lime, a Konkan roasted oyster shell product was introduced by them through Haliyal yard while they lived in costal Velliapura. Giving another look through the eyes of Kannada language expert at both cremation stones inscription from Velimpura it can be seen that they are both sponsored by Jayesha ‘…by his grandson’ and the other‘…by her nephew’ equivalent to year 1368AD and 1396AD. It is easy to conclude that Kadamba Purandaria ruler of Hangal lived past his son as cremation rites was carried by his grand son Jayesha. The name of Jayesha’s father who was crown prince (Uvraj of Hangal) is not known. The second stone marks the death and cremation of his father’s sister the Queen of Goa VeenomaiDevi beauty and wife of Suriya-Deva, slain Sovereign at Chandrapur palace and daughter of Late Purandadeva, Kadambarasa of Hangal also confirms this history that in the absence of her own heir the cremation rites were carried by her nephew Jayesha. According to this famous historical source held sacred by Coterie, Purandarai ruler of Hangal and family on the eve of his fall in 1347 secretly traveled over night to joined his daughter who herself took shelter in safer Jayakeshi Velimpura compound in 1345 when her husband was assassinated by Mohammedans at present day Chandor. They both spent the rest of their worldly life in Velimpura. With his father out of picture it must have been Jayesha after the birth of his son Mailkar II deciding for the safety of his family was converted by the Nasranis of Malabar to disguise themselves to Mohammedans commanders of the area in the 1400’s. Syrian origin worship items and anointing oil alabastrons saved by Mr.Upadhiaya’s great grand father who served as ‘Sarva-Karyakarta’ meaning chief secretary, those items which he moved to Belgaum after the 1855 British confiscation of Haliyal compound is convincing evidence. Following that Nasranis conversion they took to Christian names like Tumasa as of St.Thomas. From Haliyal stone inscriptions of 1509 ‘enemy turned into friend’.We get the name of Irivinda Tomasa, grand son of Mailkar II, Tomasa had made a deal of mutual co-operation with Timu the Konkan sea pirate to keep the Mohammedans away. Timu in those crucial years provided protection for their ancestors in Haliyal yard in return for timber for his shipbuilding needs. According to Mr.Upadhiaya this timberyard which was located separately east from the Goa Kadamba Haliyal fort was basically Goa ruling reigns armoury. If we superimpose this period in history we can derive that soon after the deal Timu went a step further and brought his friends at sea namely Portuguese troops and announced his administration in Goa . The Haliyal compound was with the Velliapura Roqiue Santana family descendents until the British confiscation in 1855. permited for research purpose. ;- Kadambas, the royals of south India, our proud heritage, the secrets of Velliapura.
