[Goanet] Goa Diary, October 31, 2022: An early morning drive

[Rajan Parrikar]

A pre-sunrise drive took me through the villages of Bardez all the way to
Siolim and then to Morjim. Before I even got out of Miramar, it was
shocking to see the beach and the road taken over by Biharis for their
chhat puja. Who gave the mandate for this demographic transformation of
Goa? Is this “democracy”? The Wokes only love “democracy” when it suits
their agenda.

I get to Goa every 6-9 months. And yet every time I come back the
delta-degradation is noticeable. Bardez is already a goner. You can imagine
what will happen to the whole of North Goa, away from the coastline, once
Mopa is up and running.

Some days ago, Frederick Noronha unintentionally provided me the
opportunity to briefly talk about my photographic work in Goa. With me
today was a good friend (a bhailo, by the way) who sometimes came along on
my early morning shoots in the years past. He noticed that the photographic
compositions we acquired during those years have now evaporated, the
framing no longer possible. The sights are gone for good, rudely
interrupted by ugly concrete or destroyed altogether.

This makes the imagery of Goa I have banked even more valuable purely from
a documentary, let alone aesthetic, point of view. Of value to me and a few
others. Most of the wider Goan population does not care. But my greatest
prize is the satisfaction that came from being out in the field, and that I
was able to engage in this wonderful enterprise without any constraints.
For these blessings I thank God every single day.

Best,

Re: [Goanet] Reading About Rishi (O Heraldo, 30/10/2022)

[Rajan Parrikar]

To George’s broader point - Hindus/Indians are not outside the ambit of
criticism or condemnation (of course!). I myself am severely critical of
Indians/Hindus and Indian/Hindu ways (although I tend not to see things
through the “Hindu” lens all the time) to the point where some Hindus see
me as anti-India (which I ain’t).

But we aren’t talking about well-intentioned critiques or genuine
self-reflection here. We are talking about gutter bugs marinated in malice.
There can be no engagement (for me) with the vile secretions of the Pankaj
Mishras, Priyamvadas, the Vidyadhar Gadgils (remember him?), the Romila
Thapars & Amartya Sens, these anti-Hindu/Progressive/Woke/Marxist
malevolent pile of ordure.

Unfortunately for them (and I guess for fellow travelers like VM) they are
no longer dealing with the Hindus of their father’s generation or even of
their generation. The meek, apologetic Hindu who could be scared away,
smeared as racist/casteist/RSS Nazi/Hitler etc etc. As in America (where
the radical Leftists overplayed their hand) these words have utterly lost
their potency through their indiscriminate use. In fact, I tell fellow
Hindus to embrace, even flaunt, the terms of endearment the Woke confer on
us.

It has come somewhat as a surprise to me to see the rise of a whole new
cadre of young Hindus both in India and in the West, educated,
knowledgeable of their tradition & history, who are not afraid to stand up
and punch back intelligently and forcefully at the shenanigans of the usual
Hinduphobic suspects. Social media has been a tremendous leveler. It wasn’t
Narendra Modi who created this new Hindu line of defence. It is the natural
conclusion of decades of abuse Hindus have been subjected to, first by the
white lords at Harvard and the elite Western academy, and then their brown
sepoys, the Pankaj Mishras.

I don’t follow UK politics other than the headline news and I don't have an
opinion on Sunak's politics and policy. But if excrement like Pankaj Mishra
dislikes him, it is 100% guaranteed - and you can take it to the bank -
that he is a good, decent human being.

[Goanet-News] SIKULAR LIBTARD: Desperately seeking self-esteem (Mitali Saran, Deccan Herald)

[Frederick Noronha]

DESPERATELY SEEKING SELF-ESTEEM
Sikular Libtard

Mitali Saran Oct 30, 2022

  I feel sorry for poor Rishi Sunak.  He may have become Britain's
  youngest and first non-white Prime Minister by walkover, in the
  shitstorm that is current British politics, but he's also India's
  first British-Indian Hindu-Elite Prime Minister of another
  country.  Not only is every Indian who knows someone who knows
  someone who knows Narayana Murthy's dog walker's cousin going to
  want a piece of Sunak, for a possible
  invite/contract/visa/citizenship, but his public life will also be
  dogged by a chorus of embarrassing triumphalism from India.

Because there is one way in which Indian pseudo-nationalists really are
freer than the rest of us, and that is in their courageous rejection of a)
logic and b) self-respect.  Imagine the liberation of not having to make
sense, and being completely immune to cringe -- in the realm of political
imagination, those are superpowers.  You are free to make a jackass of
yourself without ever caring that you're pathetic.

And that's the only way it is possible to claim national credit for any
successful brown person who may once have walked past a samosa shop -- if
they're successful enough, the samosa shop is optional.  They are India's,
particularly Hindu India's.  We produced them, ours is their glory and
glamour; ours their political clout and social capital.  They owe their
success to us.  That's right, their American citizenship, or British
premiership, or storied corporate salary, is all because of us social media
monkeys sitting in India, banging on about 12,000 years of Hindu pride for
Rs 2 per tweet.  And that, kids, is how to get by without self-esteem:
Borrow other people's.

Indian pseudo-nationalism has thus creepily groped many startled figures,
including world leaders and CEOs.  This rental self-esteem is entirely
opportunistic: the same Hindu warrior now uncharacteristically defending
Rishi Sunak's friendly relations with beef on the grounds that “he's not
eating Indian cows, is he?” -- will turn on Sunak like an angry cobra the
minute he demonstrates allegiance to his actual country which, I feel it's
important to repeat, is the UK.  The man got where he is without you, okay?
Stop debasing yourself by pretending that you had anything to do with it.
It's not even allegiance to country that matters, but allegiance to the
pseudo-nationalist's particular self-interest.  Those who once celebrated
Parag Agrawal becoming head of Twitter are now celebrating his sacking,
because Twitter banned a load of right-wing accounts for all the right
reasons.

  Nothing turns a pseudo-nationalist on like success in the West.
  They certainly don't seem to care about the Indian heritage of
  Guyanese President Mohammad Irfaan Ali.  But it's gotta be a
  powerful Western nation, because nobody pays the blindest bit of
  attention to half-Indian Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa.
  Of course, neither of them is Hindu.

Glimpses of Church History: period 900-1000 CEIn our previous episode, 
we covered Pope Sergius III who became Pope in 904 after his supporters 
murdered Leo V and Cardinal Christopher. Marozia's first son (by Pope 
Sergius) became Pope John XI in 931. She married again and when her 
second husband died, she married King Hugo of Provence in 932. Her 
second son called Alberic came to know that Hugo planned to blind him. 
So he appealed to the Romans to rise against Hugo. The Romans agreed and 
when they got ready for battle, Hugo abandoned his wife and fled.


Alberic put the Pope, his half-brother, under permanent arrest and 
imprisoned his mother in Hadrian's mausoleum where she remained for over 
50 years. Alberic died in 954 at the age of 40. His son Octavian became 
Pope John XII about the age of 18. He turned out to be one of the most 
profligate popes known. He was a great gambler and kept a stud farm of 
2000 horses which were fed on almonds and figs soaked in wine.
He stole the offerings of pilgrims and violated female pilgrims in St 
Peter's. He kept a harem at the Lateran Palace and rewarded his 
paramours with golden chalices taken from St Peter's.


King Otto of Germany came to John's aid when the King of Italy occupied 
the papal states. John made him emperor of the Holy Roman empire in 962. 
Otto asked John to mend his ways, whereupon John fled to Tivoli after 
plundering the treasury of St Peter's. Otto then called a synod of 
cardinals and bishops who read a list of John's misdeeds (charging for 
ordinations, having sex with numerous women, castrating a cardinal, 
incest with relatives, etc). John was duly informed of the Synod 
decisions but John warned the Synod that he would excommunicate the 
Bishops. John was urged to return and when he didn't, he was deposed by 
the Synod and a new Pope, a German, was appointed as the next pope, Leo 
VIII. Thereupon, John returned and the Leo VIII fled home to Germany. 
John had his revenge on the plotters by maiming or executing them.
John then resumed his old ways. He was caught in bed with another's 
wife. The husband is reported to have taken a hammer and smashed John's 
skull. He was only 26 and it was his 8th year as Pope.

The elfin 42-year-old is a walking trigger warning. The first UK Prime
Minister since Disraeli whose ethnic roots lie outside the British Isles,
and the youngest in 200 years, Rishi Sunak is also an observant Hindu who
made his first official appearances wearing the distinctive *kautuka*
around his wrist. It?s impossible to ignore the historical symbolism of
someone like him taking residence in 10 Downing Street, where Winston
Churchill told his India Secretary that ?I hate Indians. They?re a beastly
people, with a beastly religion.?

Given this context, we can spare ? indeed ignore ? the jubilation amongst
many Indians that Sunak now leads the erstwhile colonizer. Never mind that
it never would have happened as the result of any general election, and
even his own Conservative Party membership preferred to scrape the bottom
of their barrel to proffer Truss. The new prime minister knows that given
another chance they?ll go for Braverman, which is why the extraordinarily
polarizing daughter of Assagao is back as Home Secretary. It?s interesting
to see how close to the bone her most recent jibe about ?tofu-eating
wokerati? strikes her boss as well. At this point, it?s not quite clear
which of these limitlessly ambitious young British Indians will wind up
with the winning hand.

I really liked how Rana Dasgupta cut to the core of what?s happening on his
Facebook account. The award-winning author ? his upcoming *After Nations*
?considers the future of global political organization? ? wrote that ?we
have reached a point where the people who are capable of winning elections
are, for that very reason, incapable of running the country - and vice
versa. So it is almost impossible to create a plausible union between the
nation-state - which increasingly obeys inhuman purposes directly at odds
with those of its citizens - and a human "leader". This is a situation of
sheer panic. All our political capacities are invested in the nation-state,
and if that monopoly crumbles, we are left with nothing.?

At the juncture Dasgupta was writing, just one week ago, there was an

Re: [Goanet] Reading About Rishi (O Heraldo, 30/10/2022)

[George Pinto]

Currently there are 60 CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Instead of celebrating 
the worldwide rise of Indians in various fields, including the current British 
PM, the usual politics of envy and tribalism trumps any celebration. It is fair 
game to criticize capitalism and the politics is has bred, including PM Sunak's 
rise to 10 Downing Street. It is fair game to assess the racial imbalance and 
racial (in)equality in any society, the discriminations which hold women and 
people of color back, casteism (brown on brown racism), etc. But is it too much 
to ask that the first non-white British PM be celebrated in some small measure 
instead of the hit piece below? I accept the article has elements of truth but 
the usual criticisms of right-wing politics is used by various people quoted in 
the article to attacking the British PM on his incredible accomplishment.

Best regards,

George

[Goanet] N.D. AGARWAL’S CONFLICT OF INTERESTS MUST BE PROBED

[Aires Rodrigues]

It did not take much time or effort to unravel the shady side of retired
Director of Goa Printing Press N.D. Agarwal whom the Minister for Printing
Press Rohan Khaunte has now needlessly appointed as Advisor.

The very shrewd and crafty N.D Agarwal just before his retirement set up
Narayani Publication in 2013 printing all Goa Government publications and
selling it at a Premium through a website Goakaido.com doing a booming
business. If any publication is not available at the Govt Printing Press it
can be ordered through N. D. Agarwal’s website. The Goa Kaido.com and the
Narayani Publication share the same address at Assagao where N.D. Agarwal
resides.  On how he obtained that Comunidade land to construct his bungalow
is another issue. The huge assets acquired by him must also come under the
scanner of the authorities.

One wonders as to how immediately after his retirement he could in rank
conflict of interest start such a business. Did he copy all the files while
at the Printing Press and is using them to publish the publications?
Despite now being advisor to the Govt Printing Press, he continues to sell
copies of that very printing press publications and that too without paying
the State any royalty. The Advisors appointed, just like all other
Government officials must always be transparent, accountable and above
board in all their dealings. Alike Government officials, their primary duty
is to help the public and not themselves. And to never bend, crawl and
shamelessly prostrate before the political bosses, something which
N.D.Agarwal excelled in.

Let us leave it for another day on the reasons why Minister Rohan Khaunte
appointed the over 70 year old N.D. Agarwal as Advisor of the State owned
Printing Press.

Quite. Rishi should have known his place and the fruits of his karma which
require that he plod through life as the little brown factotum in a caxtti,
his very presence spelling meekness and subservience. Instead, the twerp
crashed the elite party, darkened the halls of Oxford and Stanford, and
then weaseled his way into the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs attired in
Savile Row suits. How dare he? Only Mishra's white masters are allowed
entry into these passages.

What the Hinduphobic excrement in human form Pankaj Mishra truly hates is
that Rishi wears his Hinduness on his sleeve - literally (the thread on his
wrist is there for all to see). That Rishi's brahmin wife is
unapologetically brahmin and rich and successful in her own right. That
Rishi's is by all conventional metrics a magnificent success story. Don't
believe your lying eyes. Believe what I think you should believe.

All the parents reading this - please don't aspire to provide the best
education for your kids or hope for their success. Instead they should be
like Pankaj Mishra - a self-flagellating sad pile of excrement, driven by
hate of your own ancestors and their spiritual tradition.

[Goanet] Reading About Rishi (O Heraldo, 30/10/2022)

[V M]

The elfin 42-year-old is a walking trigger warning. The first UK Prime
Minister since Disraeli whose ethnic roots lie outside the British Isles,
and the youngest in 200 years, Rishi Sunak is also an observant Hindu who
made his first official appearances wearing the distinctive *kautuka*
around his wrist. It’s impossible to ignore the historical symbolism of
someone like him taking residence in 10 Downing Street, where Winston
Churchill told his India Secretary that “I hate Indians. They’re a beastly
people, with a beastly religion.”

Given this context, we can spare – indeed ignore – the jubilation amongst
many Indians that Sunak now leads the erstwhile colonizer. Never mind that
it never would have happened as the result of any general election, and
even his own Conservative Party membership preferred to scrape the bottom
of their barrel to proffer Truss. The new prime minister knows that given
another chance they’ll go for Braverman, which is why the extraordinarily
polarizing daughter of Assagao is back as Home Secretary. It’s interesting
to see how close to the bone her most recent jibe about “tofu-eating
wokerati” strikes her boss as well. At this point, it’s not quite clear
which of these limitlessly ambitious young British Indians will wind up
with the winning hand.

I really liked how Rana Dasgupta cut to the core of what’s happening on his
Facebook account. The award-winning author – his upcoming *After Nations*
“considers the future of global political organization” – wrote that “we
have reached a point where the people who are capable of winning elections
are, for that very reason, incapable of running the country - and vice
versa. So it is almost impossible to create a plausible union between the
nation-state - which increasingly obeys inhuman purposes directly at odds
with those of its citizens - and a human "leader". This is a situation of
sheer panic. All our political capacities are invested in the nation-state,
and if that monopoly crumbles, we are left with nothing.”

At the juncture Dasgupta was writing, just one week ago, there was an
increasing clamour to “Bring Back Boris” and reinvest the recently
disgraced and deposed former prime minister. He noted that, “We call out
for a patriarch. All the better if he is corrupt - because this is no
moment for legality and restraint! We need him to lie and cheat and murder
on our behalf. We need him to trample every nicety, every law, every female
spirit standing in our way. That is the unhinged nature of our present
political arrangements. It is not that people are stupid. A good system
does not collapse because of people's varying intellectual powers. It is
that people are so squeezed out of history, that they are no longer guided
by anything save their existential terror.”

In the end, of course, Boris didn’t make it back. And so Sunak, in an
unprecedented *Balle Balle *ballyhoo including lots of ludicrous
American-style breast-beating about the superior workings of British
multculturalism. Here’s Sajid Javid – the Conservative Party MP who has
previously served as both Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer –
with a typical tweet: “Britain is the most successful multiracial democracy
on earth and proud of this historic achievement.” It’s an odd claim to make
about the very same country that just went through public paroxysms about
the death of its hereditary monarch, along with the shocking suppression of
all dissent about her legacy.

““Diversity” is a meaningless term unless it heralds real change”, wrote
Priyamvada Gopal in *Al Jazeera*. “Even Mahatma Gandhi noted that his
patriotism did not mean people could ‘be crushed under the heel of Indian
princes, if only the English retire’. Sunak is very much a British Indian
prince, not just privately educated and extremely wealthy but an
ideologically committed activist for the riches and privileges of Britain’s
small oligarch class to be bolstered at the expense of the many. Britain is
reeling under a crushing dozen years of Tory rule during which wealth has
been concentrated in the hands of a record number of billionaires. Sunak
only promises more of the same if not worse.”

Gopal is on the faculty at Cambridge University, and among the
clearest-eyed analysts of the UK today, which is why she’s often
caricatured in that country’s deeply disgraceful, openly ethno-nationalist
right-wing media. As she points out, “Sunak represents the triumph of a
carefully managed and trivialised diversity that serves to conceal the
reality of the unvarying oligarchy that Britain has become,” What is more,
“it is bizarre to invite people to set aside a politician’s politics to
celebrate their ethnicity. It’s like asking people to set aside a fashion
designer’s style or a chef’s ability to cook in judging their work. But we
must also reject the racist notion that the content of what a Black or
Asian leader offers is not relevant to 

[Goanet] Suggestions for road safety

Dear officials,

We have attached our suggestions with regards to road safety. These are
classified under Engineering, Enforcement and Public Transport categories.
We hope to see a clear action plan and more importantly concrete action
towards these suggestions. We are sure you realize the importance of
dealing with this epidemic which has been with us for several years and
needs to now be defeated.

[Goanet] Goa Diary, October 30, 2022

[Rajan Parrikar]

1) I must have said something very important because it stirred Shri
Frederick Noronha from his slumber. Alas, my participation on Goanet is
sporadic. When I am in Goa I tend to follow it. When I’m away, other than
quickly scanning the archived headlines I seldom click through the entries.
I encourage Frederick to continue his participation even if I’m not around
to needle him into action. I also beseech him to smear me some more.

Trivia: the Icelandic word for butter is smjör. The English “smear” derives
from the cognate in Old Norse. Few English speakers are aware of the extent
of influence of Old Norse on so many of the words we commonly use.

2) The traffic woes on the road in and around Porvorim and Betim continue
to worsen. The new bridge does not seem to have done much to smoothen the
flow. Driving to any place in North Goa right now, just after Diwali, is a
version of hell. The hordes from MH, KA, AP, DL etc etc have poured in with
their cars and their bad manners.

3) Amazon has finally come into its own in India. It wasn’t the case even a
couple of years ago but the chinks have been fixed and it functions just
like the Amazon in USA. The quality of products and the items themselves
are not of the same class as those available in the West, but I think it’ll
get there. The trajectory is promising.
