[Goanet] A Matter Of Shame

[Roland Francis]

Now that the hoop-la of India’s 75th Anniversary of Independence  is over, 
those in power will forget all the promises they made, which were without any 
sincerity in the first place. 

There was even a hint of working on the problem of corruption. Nothing direct 
of course, just hints that ED, NIA and other anti corruption bodies were 
energized with Modi’s stirring words on the subject. That is the sum total of 
the BJP’s strategy against India’s biggest malady.

I would call the PM the biggest rogue of them all, were it not for the fact 
that he is a mere puppet Pope whose strings are pulled by the powerful 
Cardinals in the RSS. Our Property Sawant is one such, albeit a much watered 
down version of the PM. 

Instead of constantly blowing trumpets about how India’s GDP is the 5th or 6th 
largest in the world, if I took the macro view I would be working on India’s 
Per Capita Income being one of the lowest in the world. If you want to take the 
micro view instead, do less glorifying about 6 of the largest global 
corporations in the world being headed by Indians (none of them technically 
Indians, except by birth or ancestry), I would concentrate on removing the 
blemish of India being the host country of 85% of phone and computer scams in 
the world.

In case some of you don’t know, nothing in India happens without the nod of 
someone in power and without some grease on their palms and on the palms of 
everyone below, to ground level. 

If those in power up to the PM had an ounce of shame about tarnishing the 
country’s name, assiduously built, though in fits and starts, since 1947 they 
would taken measures to rectify the most visually offensive and insulting acts 
that would be the easiest to fix. 

As the Singapore PM in his speech to his parliament which video I posted on 
Goanet a few days ago said:
“It is easy to get rid of a corrupt official however powerful he or she is, but 
once corruption takes hold in a country, it has already become endemic, a part 
of its being and therefore even surgically difficult to remove”. 

Sadly, India has become one such example. Only an effort like the one exercised 
by Indians leading up to freedom from the British may turn the tide against 
such a metastatic cancer.

[Goanet] PEN-America on 75 yes Indian Independence

[Patrice Riemens]

Aloha,

"To mark India at 75, PEN America reached out to authors from India and 
the Indian diaspora to write short texts expressing what they felt. 
Together they make a historic document. Authors who were born in British 
India responded, as did India’s Midnight’s Children and grandchildren. 
Authors from around the globe sent us their thoughts, as did authors 
from India’s many languages, communities, faiths and castes. Some voices 
are optimistic, some prayerful, some anguished and enraged. Some suggest 
defeat, others venture hope, still others are defiant. The authors hold 
a spectrum of political views, and may be in disagreement about much 
else, but they are united in their concern for the state of Indian 
democracy. We invite you to read their ideas of what India was and ought 
to be, and what it has become."

[Goanet] OUR NATIONAL FLAG MUST BE RESPECTED NOT MIS-USED FOR CHEAP POLITRICKS

[Aires Rodrigues]

>From the day of our birth all through our life on every single day, we must
give the utmost respect to our very solemn Indian National Flag which means
a lot to us all. The reckless politically motivated tamasha that we have
seen over the last few days was totally out of place and sickening to say
the least. The government has clearly not acted within the parameters of
the Flag Code which governs the use of our national flag and prohibits the
misuse of our flag which we have seen in the last few days. What a
mockery.We do not become any more Patriotic by hoisting the National flag
at our houses, on our cars and two wheelers. The solemnity and sanctity of
our National Flag was not displayed in accordance with the rules and
conventions that protects its use. Instead, it was reduced to a cheap
political stunt.

That ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’a campaign under the guise of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit
Mahotsav’ was reduced to a political affair geared by the BJP and possibly
a vehicle for yet another corrupt act. We shall soon find the extent of
this scam cooked by the BJP with ulterior motives. Having miserably failed
on all fronts in providing the promised Good Governance, the BJP has
excelled as an event management company, and the just celebrated
Independence Day was yet another testimony.

Respect for the Flag is much more than hoisting it at elaborate ceremonies.
The National Flag represents the hopes and aspirations of the people of
India. The three stripes, saffron, white, and green represent distinct
values of the country. They are courage and sacrifice, peace and truth and
faith and chivalry. Living up to these values means more than superficial
gimmicks, gestures or cheap photo shoots.Our patriotism must be lived daily
with these values, not displayed on one day a year. Even PM Modi in his
Independence address acknowledged that Corruption and Nepotism remain our
two main challenges which must be overcome.

[Nelson Lopes]

Taxi counter at Railway  station Margao
Mr CM  please check  into fare  charges  arbitarly done  uner thev guise
of Govt approved  rates  It is 750 Rupees for a short distance of  6 kms to
Dandeavaddo.The driver states  that meter is not operational for tonight's
and he operates at nights as the returns are good  Railway A.C and ordinary
ricket from Mangalore reserved tickets   costs Rs 700/ Rs 300 The taxi
fares are a pain in the neck and   tourist s complain about fleecing them
without conscience.The receipt issued should be signed by the traveller's
with remarks and only then he should be paid. I was asked to pay directly
to the taxi driver and receipt is for my record, then where is the security
check?This is the way taxi counters all over in India function to exercise
security aspects .The booking clerk is ignorant of location  desired and
charges for destinatio  4 kms away.saying the fare up to  Psmzorkon  is same
THE booking clerk is advising me rudely to look out for a pvt taxi.Does the
booking counter  authorized  for fleecing the customers without the element
of security.?.The .monopoly needs to be dismantled. Imediately
