[Goanet] ‘Are You Married or Not?’ Saharanpur Cop Attacks Inter-Faith Couple in Uttar Pradesh

[Roland Francis]

This is the type of policing that goes on in India’s hinterlands.

Of course such things happening in Bombay to poor, illiterate folk is not ruled 
out.

It’s like modern civilization has bypassed large parts of India.

Regarding Statues, besides SVP and Shivaji grand statues  in the pipeline 
great  Ram statue, Subhas Chandra Bose statue and.wil it end? 
Instead of Hospitals and temples of learning (schools,colleges etc) build 
temples/ statues and pander to sentiments of one increasingly militant 
community. Majority votes are needed. Never mind massive increasing 
pollution, regressive caste,community and religious mindsets, falling rupee, 
steep price rise, financial and law and order problems with  endemic 
corruption etc.  We must remember this is a new India?

The Goan tiatr is a favourite of the masses in Goa and is a strong medium
of disseminating social and political viewpoints and moral values. We trace
the history of tiatr and the individuals who developed this form of theatre.

[Goanet] Criticism of the first International Goan Convention

Re: [Goanet] (Goanet) Reflections on Goan Convention

[Eugene Correia]

India is facing a crisis over FREE SPEECH and DISSENT, in the media and
public spheres. As far as I know there are many dimensions to the issue of
Free Speech. Calling “fire” in a cinema auditorium or any closed
environment with hundreds of people is a “crime”.

I have written in a the OHeraldo on the #MeToo movement as it’s spreading
in India, and you too have touched on it as happening in Indian media.

I have raised 30-year-old issues because the GOA is celebrating the 30th
anniversary of the Internation Goan Convention. I don’t have a “king-sized
ego” and many close freinds will testity that I am a down-to-earth person.

Today, morning I goa a early morning call from a friend who wanted to know
if I am going to the REFLECTIONS event celebrating the 30th anniversary. I
said, and he offered me a FREE ticket but I declined. I don’t wish to be
associated with some people who are involved with the celebrations.

I have raised issues as they relate to me and my dealings with the Steering
Commitee. I was Asst. Gen. Sec. of the GOA at that time, and I played an
imporant role in the making of the convention, as I have detailed in my two
posts.

I have had raised the issues then and I my pleas were ignored. I was told
the Steering Committee was supreme and can override any decision by anyone
else who had a role in the making of the convention.

I stand by my posts, and whether I quoted people no longer on the planet or
six feet under the earth is for people to judge on my credentials as a
journalist. If someone who was associated with the IGO made a “sour face”
when I asked the person on her status with the body was what I saw. Fred,
you weren’t there. Believe it or not. I haven’t put my observation and
quoted the person as saying he/she is not involved with IGO. Any
journalistic blunder in that, honourable dotor of media studies?

I am bullheaded, according to you, and I think you are a “shit head.” If I
was in any way involved with the Reflections event, you wouldn’t have been
featured in the International Writers’ panel. Do you fit there with other
panelists? You are an arselicker, and your sucking up to John Nazaeth and
helping convince Prof. Teotonio de Souza to give a video interview, as he
was dithering and said he would consider John’s request, that secured you a
spot.

I played a big role in the staging of the Goan Convention, and I was
treated badly. I have my grouse, and you are NOBODY to tell me to keep
quite. You can criticise me, as is your right. To say bluntly that
“criticism is cheap” is a cheap statement with providing any substance to
what is under discussion.

Can I say that it’s not my right to ask you about you are NOT paying any
money to a writer to publish their books? A well-historian said to me that
he/she will NEVER publish his/her book with your publishing “Trust” (or is
it a private publishing busines?).

Yeah, criticism is cheap….
