Subject: [Goanet] LOCAL SELF-BODIES AND PARTY POLITICS


Goa is currently engaged in a debate on whether elections to the Panchayat,
Zilla Panchayat and Municipal bodies should be party based. The ruling BJP
is pushing it on party lines but the issue needs to extensive debate. If
elections are on party lines it will lead to the further politicisation of
the local bodies with the rot of party politics officially percolating to
the very grass roots.



The government needs to come clear on its objective for these elections on
party lines. If the only concern is to ensure stability in the working of
these elected bodies, this can be ensured by having in place rules
restricting frequent tabling of no-confidence motions. If Goa has to go the
party way there will have to be amendments to the Panchayat Act, Zilla
Panchayat Act, the Municipalities Act, and also the Corporation of City of
Panaji Act. This should not be circumvented by issuing an ordinance but
must be debated and decided by the Legislative Assembly.

[Goanet] Brushing Aside the Conspiracy Angle: on Amit Shah's discharge by Manisha Sethi (in EPW )

Subject: Fwd: Brushing Aside the Conspiracy Angle: on Amit Shah's discharge
http://www.epw.in/commentary/brushing-aside-conspiracy-angle.html
 Brushing Aside the Conspiracy AngleThe order by the Central Bureau of 
Investigation providing a clean chit to former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah 
has wiped out the entire slate of the Supreme Court's intervention in various 
encounter death cases. The discharge of the "lynchpin" of the conspiracy 
despite voluminous material providing strong grounds for proceeding with the 
trial will ultimately raise questions about judicial independence.

Manisha Sethi (manisha.se...@gmail.com) teaches at the Centre for Comparative 
Religions and Civilizations, Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi.It is a matter of 
record that the State of Gujarat – after stout denial – admitted that 
Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife had been killed in illegal police custody. It 
is also a matter of record that the State of Gujarat ultimately – again after 
much dodging and subterfuge – accepted that the Tulsi Prajapati encounter was 
stage-managed.In both cases, charge sheets were filed, committed to sessions 
with great alacrity, and trial dates fixed. However, the Supreme Court noted 
that this urgency arose from the desire of the Gujarat police to keep the two 
cases separate. Their “trenchant refusal” to draw the dots between the two sets 
of killings was part of the reason why the Supreme Court transferred the 
investigations to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) with the express 
direction to unearth the wider conspiracy, if any. The CBI, in the course of 
its investigations, is said to have found Amit Shah (currently the president of 
the Bharatiya Janata Party) to be the “lynchpin” of the main conspiracy. Shah 
was arraigned as accused number 16.Just as 2014 drew to a close, in view 
supposedly of settled principles of law and evidence on record, the special 
judge for the CBI discharged accused number 16 in the fake encounter and murder 
of Sohrabuddin, Kauser Bi and Tulsi Prajapati. The accused number 16 is widely 
recognised to be the chief lieutenant of the most powerful person in the 
current power hierarchy in the country. The Court also found “merit” in the 
contention that the accused has been “shown to be involved in this case by the 
CBI for some political reasons”.1It is true that Amit Shah was no ordinary 
person to be among the accused. He was the state home minister when the 
encounters took place – Sohrabuddin’s and Kauser Bi’s in December 2005 and 
Tulsi Prajapati’s exactly a year later in 2006.Anyone familiar with criminal 
trials will vouch for the low rate of discharge at the stage of framing of 
charges under Section 227 ofCrPC. Under this section, the judge is expected to 
merely sift the evidence to come to a conclusion whether or not there are 
“sufficient grounds for proceeding against the accused”. Very clearly, at this 
stage, the judicial mind was not exercised by the question of an accused’s 
guilt or innocence, which can only be determined in the course of a trial, but 
simply whether a strong suspicion existed about the accused’s possible 
complicity in the crime alleged. In other words, the CBI court for the present 
was not asked to sit in judgment of Amit Shah’s guilt, but only to decide 
whether there existed strong enough indications to link the BJP president to 
these grisly murders. The court in its wisdom found none. It rejected the 
plethora of witness statements recorded under sections 161 and 164CrPC as mere 
“hearsay”, evidence of systematic and direct interference by Shah in the state 
CID probe into the encounter as “vague and subjective” and material evidence of 
phone call records between Shah and the senior police officers accused of 
murder as insufficient.Phone Call RecordsLet us turn first to the high level of 
telephonic exchange between Shah and police officers including D G Vanzara, S 
Rajkumar Pandian (then superintendent of police, ATS, Ahmedabad), N K Amin, and 
others in the period in which the killings took place. In its charge sheet, the 
CBI found this high telephone traffic between a minister and field level 
officers to be odd:As per the official protocol, a Minister of State for Home, 
Government of Gujarat would be normally expected to talk/discuss with the Home 
Secretary and/or the Chief Secretary, and further, if he were to be so briefed, 
then also, he would be expected to talk/discuss with the Chief of the 
Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) or the Crime Branch.Shah’s lawyer while moving his bail 
application in 2010 had submitted to the Gujarat High Court that the abnormal 
volume of phone calls between Shah and police officers owed to theabduction of 
a young boy which was investigated by Mr Amin and, therefore, as a public 
representative and Ho

Poor promotion, response at KA book fair leaves book sellers demotivated

TNN | Jan 23, 2015, 02.00PM IST

PANAJI: The very lanes that were thronged by crowds for Lokutsav last
week lay dreary for the ongoing Sant Sohirobanath Ambiye book
exhibition. Organized by the state department of art and culture
(DAC), the exhibition is hosting over 60 book sellers and publishers
from all over the country from January 21 to 25 at Darya Sangam, Kala
Academy.

Even though leading names in the industry like Taylor and Francis,
Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Manohar
Publishers and Distributors, Sage Publications etc are displaying a
variety of books, the exhibition is failing to be a crowd puller due
to poor publicity.

The Sant Sohirobanath Ambiye book exhibition is the largest book fair
Goa has ever had and stalls are being allotted to participants free of
cost. Though the DAC has done a commendable job by initiating this
book exhibition, the lackluster response appears to be affecting
sales.

Demotivated by the scene, manager sales, Manohar Publishers and
Distributors, Ramchandra Surve, said, "I brought stocks worth 65 lakhs
for the exhibition. Our books are academic based but hardly any
academicians have visited our stalls so far. The DAC has not promoted
the exhibition in any manner. There are no banners, posters or
advertisements. If this continues, then good publishers like us will
not participate in the exhibition in the future."

Goa-based book sellers and publishers, however, still have some hopes.
Publisher, Goa 1556, Frederick Noronha, said, "If there is food and
music there are large crowds. But books are a niche area where only
certain people would go out and purchase. We have been pushing for a
book exhibition of this standard in Goa for a very long time. The
publishing eco-system has grown so big in recent years that we need to
carry on with the other steps in the chain. This exhibition is
probably the next step towards that. I am optimistic that this event
can become an annual one."

Deepali Correia from Bookworm said, "Parents should understand that
video games are not that helpful for the development of a child. There
is so much literature for children today right from the pre-school
level in the form of picture books, one-line texts, interactive books
etc, it is amazing. I don't see why parents would mind spending a few
hundred rupees to buy their child a good book."

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS 
FOR THE 49th WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAYCommunicating the Family:
A Privileged Place of Encounter with the Gift of Love The family is a subject 
of profound reflection by the Church and of a process involving two Synods: the 
recent extraordinary assembly and the ordinary assembly scheduled for next 
October. So I thought it appropriate that the theme for the next World 
Communications Day should have the family as its point of reference. After all, 
it is in the context of the family that we first learn how to communicate. 
Focusing on this context can help to make our communication more authentic and 
humane, while helping us to view the family in a new perspective.We can draw 
inspiration from the Gospel passage which relates the visit of Mary to 
Elizabeth (Lk 1:39-56). “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant 
leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit cried out in a 
loud voice and said, ‘Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the 
fruit of your womb’.” (vv. 41-42)This episode first shows us how communication 
is a dialogue intertwined with the language of the body. The first response to 
Mary’s greeting is given by the child, who leaps for joy in the womb of 
Elizabeth. Joy at meeting others, which is something we learn even before being 
born, is, in one sense, the archetype and symbol of every other form of 
communication. The womb which hosts us is the first “school” of communication, 
a place of listening and physical contact where we begin to familiarize 
ourselves with the outside world within a protected environment, with the 
reassuring sound of the mother’s heartbeat. This encounter between two persons, 
so intimately related while still distinct from each other, an encounter so 
full of promise, is our first experience of communication. It is an experience 
which we all share, since each of us was born of a mother.Even after we have 
come into the world, in some sense we are still in a “womb”, which is the 
family. A womb made up of various interrelated persons: the family is “where we 
learn to live with others despite our differences” (Evangelii Gaudium, 66). 
Notwithstanding the differences of gender and age between them, family members 
accept one another because there is a bond between them. The wider the range of 
these relationships and the greater the differences of age, the richer will be 
our living environment. It is this bond which is at the root of language, which 
in turn strengthens the bond. We do not create our language; we can use it 
because we have received it. It is in the family that we learn to speak our 
“mother tongue”, the language of those who have gone before us. (cf. 2 Macc 
7:25,27). In the family we realize that others have preceded us, they made it 
possible for us to exist and in our turn to generate life and to do something 
good and beautiful. We can give because we have received. This virtuous circle 
is at the heart of the family’s ability to communicate among its members and 
with others. More generally, it is the model for all communication.The 
experience of this relationship which “precedes” us enables the family to 
become the setting in which the most basic form of communication, which is 
prayer, is handed down. When parents put their newborn children to sleep, they 
frequently entrust them to God, asking that he watch over them. When the 
children are a little older, parents help them to recite some simple prayers, 
thinking with affection of other people, such as grandparents, relatives, the 
sick and suffering, and all those in need of God’s help. It was in our families 
that the majority of us learned the religious dimension of communication, which 
in the case of Christianity is permeated with love, the love that God bestows 
upon us and which we then offer to others.In the family, we learn to embrace 
and support one another, to discern the meaning of facial expressions and 
moments of silence, to laugh and cry together with people

[Goanet] El bolero de Ravel en flamenco

2015-01-24 Thread Con Menezes
Fantastic Entertainment!!


«Ravel's Boléro» is a very powerful piece but this is incomparable.



The synchronisation of the dancers and the orchestra takes one's breath away.

Enjoy the show….

[Goanet] Fwd: Song for the day.....

2015-01-24 Thread Gabe Menezes
Saw this movie in Goa ( a must see if it gets to London) called nachom-ia
kumpasar. Based on Lorna and Chris Perry. In my opinion a brilliant movie
cum story.

All the songs were written by Chris Perry and sung by Lorna in the story
line, the actors were really good and the Bombay resident girl hailed from
Calcutta.

Here is a number sung by a man.

Uloilolem Uttran (Adeus)
