[Goanet] ONLY SPOTLESS JUDGES CAN RESCUE INDIA’S CRUMBLING JUDICIARY

[Aires Rodrigues]

It is very crucial that only persons with sound knowledge of law and
impeccable integrity be selected as Judges even at the entry level in the
lower Judiciary. The selection of judges through a very transparent laid
down process has to be very meticulous as persons with suspect credentials
and those who cannot interpret the law inflict irreversible damage to the
justice delivery system. It is imperative that politicians should have no
role whatsoever, direct or indirect in the selection, promotion and posting
of Judges. So also it must be ensured that sitting and retired judges do
not orchestrate their incompetent and unworthy relatives, friends and
former chamber colleagues to sneak into Judicial positions. Over the years
we have witnessed some extremely good judges but in anguish have also had
to live up with those from the other end of the spectrum.



We need to have the right persons selected as Judges with their salary and
perks substantially enhanced so that only the best and brightest preside
over the Temples of Justice. The Judiciary should never be manned by
persons who are slanted or aligned to any political party. Judges should
have the spine to crack on illegalities done by any politician, regardless
of the party he is affiliated to and the high position he holds. If Judges
cannot independently balance the scales of Justice, the Courts lose their
very sanctity.



Lord Harry Woolf, a former Chief Justice of England had said “Like old
clocks, our judicial institutions need to be oiled, wound up and set to
true time".



Maybe it’s high time for a concerted effort to cleanse the Aegean Stables
of Indian Judiciary by flushing out those undesirable judges who should
never have landed where they are today.

[Goanet] STENT OR GARG FOR MULTIPLE CORONARY BLOCKS?

[Stephen Dias]

Dear Dr.Francisco Colaco

I read your article today 25th June in Heraldo on "Stents or GARG for
multiple coronary blocks? " and decided to write some few lines.
My friend Prof.Dr. Newman Fernandes has been in Manipal Hospital in Dona
Paula recently for  a small cyst check up near the throat and told me that
he used to frequently gargle with Listerine gargle solution as a treatment.
The doctor from ENT in the same Hospital suggested for a test which later
found not significant. We talked after that and he said he will check again
somewhere else if the cyst troubles him. I told him not to go for a surgery
here in this Manipal because the cost is huge compared to other Goan
Hospitals.
He never complained of any other serious problems. When he decided for a
complete body check up he was advised that he had multiple blocks about 5
of them.He took my advise and decided to meet Dr.Dixit which later came to
know that he left KLE and joined other Hospital in Bangalore. Then he
decided to go for surgery as advised at KLE Belgaum who was operated by
another doctor and unfortunately surgery failed and he died instantly. I
was told that a Angiogram was repeated.
Now you tell me why such cases should happen when a person never complained
earlier for such a pain. I suppose 5 blocks is quite serious for a person
even to walk or breathe and death during surgery in his case is
unbelievable. Who is responsible for such a mishap?
When I had two blocks you directed me to GMC and Dr. Dixit operated me for
GARG and later after 8 years Dr.Manjunath put one stent although it was not
required because it has not reached to its limit of blockage and with your
advice he performed the surgery and STENT was inserted and I am doing fine.
Tell me what kind of surgeons we have in India instead of performing well
and doing such a bad surgery?  This way how many people dies on surgery
table and nobody questions their skills?
This is just for your information so that you can write an article in these
lines for people to be more careful before accepting a surgery.

Your affectionate friend

Re: [Goanet] Sad, Sad South Africa

[Frederick Noronha]

Francis,

It is fine to argue that politicians -- whatever their race, class,
ideology or promises -- are greedy and selfish once they ascend to
power. They might want to grab the best lands for themselves, even if
this happens after fighting a colonial power on these very grounds
(like Pio Gama Pinto learnt at a huge cost in Kenyatta's Kenya). Or
they might be brutal towards others, despite the very fact that they
too had been brutalised by some other power not long earlier (as the
Israelis/Jews were in Europe, and now take it out against the
Palestinians).

It is also easy to argue that post-Independence/Liberation/freedom
politicians have let down the masses to whom they had promised so
much, either because they took the easy way out, they were inefficient
themselves, their dreams were too big and promises inflated, or global
realities like the Cold War got them caught up in wars which meant
they were fighting themselves.

I could also accept it if you say that there was a lot of
shadow-boxing in our anti-colonial struggles (for instance, some of
the most brutal British laws meant to control a colonial people have
smoothly continued after 'Independence' in India... or very little
effective power was given to the real out-in-the-cold sections that
was promised it, as was the case with the vaguely/strangely-defined
Bahujan Samaj in Goa.)

But to argue, as the video you refer to does, that Blacks have a lower
IQ, that the atrocious and skewed landholding by the Whites in South
Africa is not scandalous, that some (how many?) Blacks might have
actually preferred Apartheid, and so on, is racist tripe. It
overstates the case, and makes it unbelievable.

Of course, we all know what Zuma has been doing in South Africa, and
what the Gooptaas :-) have been doing there. But why justify the
unjustifiable past to critique the present? It weakens the entire
case...

Some of the views mentioned here are just racist and unconvincing.

* The Dutch came "hundreds and hundreds and hundreds" of years ago?
* The Bantus are racist towards the aboriginals there. (So we can be
racist to all?)
* The Bantus virtually wiped out the native population. With the
Whites, the national population increased tremendously. So? Even if
true, what does it prove?
* Working, beautiful, functioning society? Apartheid? Colonialism?
* They don't like them being White!
* The most competent hands are often mostly White.
* Pareto principle? To justified Apartheid, colonialism?
* Blacks don't understand over-farming problems.

Two comments:
A paean for colonialism and Apartheid? You would have made a more
credible case if you didn't try to justify the unjustifiable past.

The better the climate, the worse the politics? The worse the climate,
the 'richer' the countries? Is this due to the wealth drain that has
been going on for centuries?
