[Goanet] IS IT END OF THE ROAD FOR BSNL?

[Aires Rodrigues]

Under the BJP rule at the Centre, the functioning of various vital
organizations has collapsed. BSNL is one of them with its telephone
services across Goa in a state of flux. A lot of phones have been dead for
the last few years. Even the telephones at many government offices are not
functioning. In times when communication technology has been advancing
everywhere, sadly the BSNL telephone services in Goa are in utter dire
straits. The functioning of the BSNL offices and exchanges is in shambles.
A very unacceptable state of affairs and a clear indication of bad
governance.

Nobody knows what is happening to BSNL and its future. It is high time that
the now dysfunctional BSNL which has been in total disarray gets its act
together. People are entitled to know as to what is in store for BSNL.
Whether the government has any plans to resuscitate it or if it is Rest in
Peace for our landlines.

Progress and Development claimed by the Government cannot be just on paper
and mere loud talk as the people need to experience and feel that real
change for the better.

[Goanet] The Ambanis

[Roland Francis]

The story of India’s richest family. Resembles in some ways the ongoing story 
of the Guptas of Saharanpur and South Africa who are currently arrested in 
Dubai in anticipation of extradition to South Africa.

What is not mentioned in this interesting video is the close relationship of 
the late Dhirubhai Ambani the patriarch of this financial empire to Indira 
Gandhi, which allowed him to get the precious licences necessary in then 
red-tape bound India which made it possible to start Reliance’s money spinning 
petrochemical plants.

[Goanet] Fr. Edwin D'Souza SJ: A Jesuit for All Seasons and Regions

[Pratapananda Naik, SJ]

Fr. Edwin L. D’Souza SJ: A Jesuit for All Seasons and Regions
(06 November 1925 – 08 June 2022)

Fr. Edwin D’Souza the senior most Jesuit (96 years) of Goa Province left
this world on 08th June 2022 morning at Xavier  Residence, Alto Porvorim,
Goa. He lived 76 years as a Jesuit and 63 years as a Jesuit Priest.

Fr. Edwin was born in Kampala, Uganda on 06th November 1925 but was brought
up in Moira, Goa. The people of Moira are known for their intellectual
capabilities as well as their eccentricities. Folklore of Goa is replete
with plenty of amusing anecdotes about the Moidekars characterising their
daily life and work. Irrespective of what others said, he always spoke
fondly about his ancestral house and surrounding in Moira. His early
schooling was done in Mater Dei High School, Saligão and the last two years
of his schooling were at Moira. This was followed by four years in the
Rachol Seminary. He joined the Society of Jesus on 27th September 1945 at
Vinayalaya, Mumbai. His Philosophy studies (1949-52) were at Sacred Heart
College, Shembaganur. After his Regency at Loyola, Margão (1952-54) and St.
Paul’s, Belgavi (1954-55) he was sent to the Colegio Maximo, at Comillas,
Spain for his Theology studies (1955-59). He had fond memories of his
travel and his stay in Spain and was always more than willing to talk about
his years in Spain, of course with a few phrases of Spanish here and there.
He loved to talk in Spanish and he also showed his wiliness to teach it to
others. In general, he was linguistically gifted and was able to converse
comfortably in Konknni, Marathi, Portuguese, Spanish, Latin and of course
English.

Returning from Spain after his Theology and Ordination, as a young priest
Fr. Edwin was sent to do Tertianship at Sitagarha (1960-61) and then he
worked as a missionary in the Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra for 20
years from 1962-82. On 02nd February 1963 at Ahmednagar he took his Final
Vows. In Ahmednagar District, he was immersed in a completely new region,
culture, and language. Yet, he learnt Marathi and went about his work with
zeal and determination, without complaining. He loved pastoral work and was
self-sacrificing in his service in various mission stations of Ahmednagar
District. His concern for the poor was exemplary. Later, he served as the
Parish Priest (1983-86) of St. Xavier’s Church, Pune. During this time, he
was also the Rector of St. Vincent’s, Pune and therefore, after the sudden
death of the Provincial, he was called upon to lead the Goa-Pune Province
as Provincial (1986-92). As a Provincial he was spiritual, approachable,
friendly, methodical, just and fair in his dealings. He was balanced in his
judgements, calm and patient with individual and was an efficient
facilitator. After his term as the Provincial, he served in the leadership
role as the Superior at St. Britto’s, Mapusa, at St. Paul’s, Belgavi and at
Pedro Arrupe Institute (PAI), Raia. He loved PAI, Raia and always showed
interest in its activities and programmes. During his sabbatical he opted
to attend short courses in Christology, new trends in Theology and Ignatian
Spirituality. His desire to continue reading and be up to date with new
ideas and tends in Theology always remained with him.

During his retirement years at PAI, Raia, Fr. Edwin was delved deeper into
the sources of Ignatian spirituality through extensive reading and
regularly sharing his insights and reflections of Sunday Liturgy on the
Bulletin of PAI.

Whether as Rector of a variety of Jesuit Institutions, the District
Superior of the Ahmednagar Mission, Parish Priest of St. Xavier's in Pune
or the Provincial of the Goa-Pune province he has served with charm,
dedication and commitment. As Provincial or Superior, he displayed a
humility that is hard to beat. He always took the advice of his consultors
before he made decisions and steadfastly held on to them, despite the fact
that he knew there would be adverse reactions to them. And adverse
reactions he did get, yet he displayed the same calmness and humility and
held no grudge. He took the reactions humbly and quietly, never blaming
someone else for the mistakes, but taking them on himself. No doubt the
Provincialship was the heaviest cross he had to carry, and he carried it
with great endurance and patience. It reminds one the words of St. Paul to
Timothy, “Share in suffering as a soldier of Christ Jesus (2 Tim 2:3).”
Truly Fr. Edwin has been that good soldier of Christ. His native wisdom of
Moira and his rustic charm of rural Ahmednagar district never failed him in
his long journey as a Jesuit.

Many admirable qualities and a simple, disciplined lifestyle enabled Fr
Edwin to be an exemplary figure in the community in spite of his advanced
age. He was a gentleman, kind, and considerate in all his dealings, a
committed religious, faithful to all his spiritual obligations and a
lovable community member. Among his many qualities, his obedience and his
humility were outstanding. In the

[Goanet] Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte: Are You for Coal Pollution or for Tourism?

[Joao Barros-Pereira]

Goa’s dynamic and avant garde Tourism Minister sometimes leaves me perplexed.

His interest in taking Goa’s tourism to a sky high level with
helicopters in the air leaves me speechless.

Our basic infrastructure, as you know only too well, is not in place
with garbage everywhere giving visitors the impression it is a part of
our cultural identity.

We have a garbage temple on top of a hill for all to see and if you
are blind don’t worry as you will know about it from the stench.

Basic and regular water supply is a dream for a lot of Goans as well
as uninterrupted power.

I am not against helicopters but we need to be realistic - first things first!

The great juggernaut approaching are millions of tons of coal which
MPA and SW Railways want to bring to Goa and which the Goan people are
strongly against for obvious reasons.

Who wants to breathe in coal all their life when we have a choice.

As the coal is headed for Karnataka the Adani’s can take it directly
to the state and there is no need to turn Goa our coastal tourism
state into a coal hub.

People in Vasco have suffered enough, no need to make the whole of Goa
a smoked filled state.

Coal pollution and tourism do not go together. We have to choose one
or the other.

Maybe the only people who will not have to breathe in coal dust are
the super rich tourists who are flying above cloud nine.

Mr Tourism Minister on which side of the issue do you stand - the
people of Goa want a short and clear answer.

If Goa becomes a coal hub it will be the end of tourism and the Goan
environment as we know it.

With reduced tourism there will be a tsunami of unemployment and the
government’s inability to create jobs will only get worse as people
cannot be retrained overnight resulting in massive unemployment.

What is your stand on the issue of coal pollution and tourism Mr Rohan
Khaunte Goa’s Tourism Minister?
