Re: [Goanet] Savio Rodrigues I Colonial Hangover & Christian Bias - How all Christians of KA voted BJP out
GL responds: The Host and Guest did a good job of covering the issues of colonial inquisition and current persecution of Christians in India. Yet from the dialog neither of them appeared to have read the Bangalore historian's book. Sadly, many who comment on the Goa Inquisition have also not read this recent book available in India. Machado, (Prabhu) Alan: Goa’s Inquisition: facts, fiction, factoids. 2022. Persecution and Inquisition were used to targetseparate groups to achieve different results. The inquisition was introducedin Portugal in 1536 and extended to OT in 1560. In both, it was a law-and-order system, whereinquisitor was appointed by Portugal’s king and solely responsible to him. Theinquisitor did NOT report to church officials in Lisbon or Goa. In Machado’s morerecent update, for the entire period of the inquisition in the overseas territories 1560 to 1812 (252years) a total of 177 persons underwent capital punishment and 154 burnt ineffigy. Capital penalty average of seven per decade, for a society underexistential threat in the 48+ footholds is well below what would be expected. Among those investigatedby the inquisition were the behaviors of captain, chief-finance officers,acting and appointed viceroys, soldiers, tradesmen, and priests.

[Goanet] Another Annus Horribilis? (O Heraldo, 7/1/2024)
https://www.heraldgoa.in/Edit/By-invitation/Another-Annus-Horribilis/216193 Good governance has always been elusive in Goa, but the past decade has been an unmitigated disaster for the people, culture, environment and democracy in India’s smallest State. It didn’t have to be this way, after a good start post-1961 with decent administrators working towards meaningful social justice priorities under Dayanand ‘Bhausaheb’ Bandodkar, and there was another dawn of hope during the rise of Manohar Parrikar, the first IITian to become MLA and CM in the country. All that promise was squandered however, in the depressing pattern of arrogance, incompetence, corruption and impunity that continues to hold sway. Things were already bad when the CM expired in office in 2019, and then have only become unimaginably worse. This ongoing catastrophe presents more than one conundrum. Why does India’s best educated, wealthiest, and most cosmopolitan electorate tolerate abysmal misgovernance, and the rampant destruction of its own quality of life? How do voters ignore the converging crises in front of their noses: youth unemployment nearly 30%, garbage overwhelming the landscape, mayhem on the roads, rampant illegality and an epidemic of crime? When did it become risky – even dangerous – to simply state these truths in public, as though the right to information has already been extinguished? There is broader context here that must be taken into consideration. Goa is disgracefully misgoverned compared to Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and several other States near and far, but its worst problems are due to the collapse of accountability and oversight at the Centre. Many of the crucial institutions have ceased functioning in the way they were intended, often deployed to purely political ends. The damage is systemic. According to the excellent Sweden-based Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) multinational project, India ceased being democratic in 2019 and is now officially an “electoral autocracy”. Here too, the bigger picture demonstrates an alarming pattern, because V-Dem’s *2023 Democracy Report* says 72% of the world’s population lives in “electoral or closed autocracies”, an increase from just 46% in 2013. Over the past decade, the world has seen a wave of “autocratization” - Russia, Nigeria, and Turkey are in the same category as India – to go along with already closed societies like China, Myanmar, and Iran. We can easily recognise the signs: “Toxic levels of polarisation hinder cooperation among elites and induce citizens to abandon democratic principles to keep their leader in power and get their preferred policy. That way, toxic levels of polarisation often increase support for autocratic leaders and empower their illiberal agendas. Disinformation, polarisation, and autocratization thus reinforce each other.” Unfortunately, this crisis is exacerbated because the existing global powers are fatally compromised to lead by alternative – Gaza is only one example – and newly comparatively weak. This means much of ‘the developing world’ has liberty to act out in ways they never have before. India utilises this historic opportunity with brilliant effect on the international stage, but the problem is what occurs with similar abandon at home. *Le Monde* editorialised accurately earlier this year: “Attempts to suppress the media, harassment of opponents and minorities, manipulation of the justice system, educational revisionism: Modi’s record speaks for itself. This makes it all the more regrettable that countries that claim to defend democratic values prefer to remain silent, so as not to upset a regime that is asserting itself in the new global geopolitical order.” It should be noted one of the most prominent enablers is Emmanuel Macron, eager guest of honour at the 75th anniversary Republic Day parade in New Delhi later this month. 2024 will make the difference, because more than half the world’s population will vote on their future. *Time *quotes V-Dem’s director Staffan Lindberg saying it is a “make or break year for democracy in the world”, and notes that “of the 43 countries expected to hold free and fair elections this electoral megacycle, 28 do not actually meet the essential conditions for a democratic vote [and] 8 of the 10 most populous countries in the world, including India, Mexico, and the US—all of which head to the polls this year—are grappling with the challenge of ensuring voter participation, free speech, and electoral independence while authoritarianism is on the rise.” In this regard, the January 2024 edition of *Journal of Democracy *has some insightful analysis by Ashutosh Varshney and Connor Staggs of Brown University in an essay entitled Hindu Nationalism and the New Jim Crow (the latter term refers to American laws that enforced racial segregation): “What makes Modi’s India and the Jim Crow United States comparable? It is the idea that electorally legitimated majoritarianism can be used to create an ensemble of
