*** ResearchRelatedToGoa... *** A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY ON CHILD REARING PRACTICES in Rural Goa Jagadish Cacodcar, Anagha Dubhashi, Shilpa Joglekar Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University Aim: To assess the traditional child rearing practices among rural Goan mothers and the various socio-demographic factors influencing these practices. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 307 rural mothers with children < 2 years in two rural areas under rural health and training centre Mandur located 16 kilometres from Panaji Goa, through house to house visits and oral interviews. Analysis of collected data was done using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version. Chi-square test was applied in addition to proportions and percentages. Results: Rooming in was practiced by majority (86%) of the mothers within 24 hours of birth. 46.25% of the mothers fed colostrum to their newborns while 73.62 % of the mothers breastfed within 24 hours. 37.59% of the mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first six months. The mean duration of breastfeeding was 11.015 th months. 90% of the women was educated 12 standard and above breastfed their babies up to 12 months. Bottle feeding was common (75%). Cereal based diet was the commonest complementary feeding administered by 23% of the mothers. Commonest traditional practices followed included oil massage (97.72%) and use of amulets/talisman (97.72%) in the study population. Conclusion: Beneficial infant feeding practices such as early initiation of breastfeeding and feeding of colustrum among rural Goan mothers was low despite accessible antenatal care and health care services. However, though some of the traditional children rearing practices followed such as oil massage, delivery at parents' home were as per the recommended norms, some of the beliefs/practices such as kajal application, bathing the newborn immediately after birth, need to be replaced by sound and scientific methods. WHAT DID THE JESUIT WHO VISITED AYODHYA centuries ago have to say? Hint: answer not here... See a mention to Jesuit missionary Joseph Tiefenthaler http://t.ly/KYv93 BRIDGING THE CENTURIES: A Brief Biography of Wamanrao Varde Valaulikar Jason Keith Fernandes https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.7048 The extant representations of the late nineteenth-century personality Wamanrao Varde Valaulikar (1877-1946), known as Shenoi Goembab to Konkani activists, are marked by a hagiographical character. The present article offers a biography of the man which eschews these nationalist hagiographies to place the man in the context of his times and to demonstrate his primary role as an activist in the creation of the Gaud Saraswat Brahmin caste. In so doing, the article demonstrates how the foundations for the contemporary Goan public sphere were laid in the nineteenth century. http://t.ly/RCZ-t HYBRIDITY IN THE COLONIAL ARTS OF SOUTH INDIA, 16th–18th Centuries Simona Cohen https://doi.org/10.3390/rel12090684 Published in Religions 5A This study examines the multiplicity of styles and heterogeneity of the arts created on the southern coasts of India during the period of colonial rule. Diverging from the trajectory of numerous studies that underline biased and distorted conceptions of India promoted in European and Indian literary sources, I examine ways in which Indian cultural traditions and religious beliefs found substantial expression in visual arts that were ostensibly geared to reinforce Christian worship and colonial ideology. This investigation is divided into two parts. Following a brief overview, my initial focus will be on Indo-Portuguese polychrome woodcarvings executed by local artisans for churches in the areas of Goa and Kerala on the Malabar coast. I will then relate to Portuguese religious strategies reflected in south Indian churches, involving the destruction of Hindu temples and images and their replacement with Catholic equivalents, inadvertently contributing to the survival of indigenous beliefs and recuperation of the Hindu monuments they replaced. https://doi.org/10.3390/rel12090684 Vol. 12, no. 9 p. 684 http://t.ly/-MN1N INDIANISMS IN BRAZILIAN AND GOAN POETRY: the cases of Gonçalves Dias and Paulino Dias Duarte Braga, Hélder Garmes Gragoatá Universidade Federal Fluminense In both Brazilian and Goan literary criticism, what has been designated as "Indianism" has distinct referents and cronologies.

[Goanet] GALF 2024: Different Ways of Belonging (O Heraldo, 10/2/2024)
https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/GALF-2024-Different-Ways-of-Belonging/217608 At the age of 67, on my invitation as one of the organisers of *Aparanta*, the path-breaking 2007 art exhibition with an activist agenda, the great Bombay Goan poet and professor Eunice de Souza did her first public reading in her ancestral homeland, under the vast spreading branches of a rain tree that no longer exists, in what is now the Old Goa Medical College heritage precinct (but was then on the verge of being transformed into a shopping mall). It was a sensational debut in a moment filled with angst. At this point of her storied career, we had been told the fierce Ms. de Souza was mellowed, but what we got was pure dynamite. I can never forget when these lines rang out in the night: *No matter thatmy name is Greekmy surname Portuguesemy language alien.There are ways of belonging.* This was potent intervention, at a time there was still considerable resistance to any cultural assertion from Goa that did not fit the familiar crude stereotypes. In his landmark essay for *Aparanta*, the curator Ranjit Hoskote pointed out that “Goa has brilliant, meteorically brilliant artists. But the lack of a context has left them afloat in a void of discussion. Geographical contiguity does not mean that Goa and mainland India share the same universe of meaning: Goa’s special historic evolution, with its Lusitanian route to the Enlightenment and print modernity, its Iberian emphasis on a vibrant public sphere, its pride in its ancient internationalism avant la lettre, sets it at a tangent to the self-image of an India that has been formed with the experience of British colonialism as its basis. The relationship between Goa’s artists and mainland India has, not surprisingly, been ambiguous and erratic, even unstable.” This problem was paramount in our minds during *Aparanta,* until Eunice de Souza gave us another way to think about it. It struck home. Why do we all have to belong in the same way? Surely, if there is one overarching lesson to learn from Goa’s extraordinarily rich, ancient and many-layered history it is that of inclusion. Like the rest of the Konkan and Malabar coasts, this culture was born in confluence, and continuously remakes itself in dialogue with the world. Many cities and countries around the world have an impactful Goan history: Nairobi, Karachi, Rangoon, Aden, now Swindon and Southall too. They belong to us, and we belong to them. It cannot be denied there is great strength in all these different ways of belonging, with this caveat: we must ensure we can accommodate them all without getting divided for no good reason. When the International Centre Goa approached the Goa Writers group to collaborate on creating a new literature festival in 2010, our own Damodar Mauzo had already been developing this idea for some time. Konkani literature’s beloved ‘Bhaiyee’ – who later won the 2021 Jnanpith Award – realised that Indian publishing was developing into a Delhi-centric juggernaut which consigned much of the rest of the country to “the margins”. We thought to reverse this absurdly blinkered hierarchy, and focus on the many areas of excellence that were being unfairly overlooked, both in terms of regions and genres: the North East states, Kashmir, translations, poetry. From the very first Goa Arts + Literature Festival to next week’s 12th edition, the central theme and inspiration has remained different ways of belonging, as you see reflected in the classic GALF poster artwork by Amruta Patil that runs on this page. Since the pandemic, GALF has faced many challenges, including the down side of remaining strictly independent, non-profit and volunteer-driven. There is much to celebrate however, including some of the best and most engaged discussions in the world of literature and the arts. This year, there are also performances by the great singer-songwriter Akhu Chingangbam of Imphal Talkies (on the 15th) and Stuti Choir (17th) as well as Sonia Shirsat (closing dinner). Some of those coming to Dona Paula next week include the eminent Toronto-based food writer Naomi Duguid, the pioneering Franco-Indian novelist Ari Gautier, highly regarded debutants Devika Rege, Sohini Chattopadhyay, Yogesh Maitreya, and Manish Gaekwad, and many other national literary treasures like I Allan Sealy, KR Meera, Robin Ngangom, Vivek Shanbhag and Mini Krishnan. Identical to the state which it represents, GALF is small but extremely diverse. This edition includes Mani Shankar Aiyar’s memoir about Rahul Gandhi and Abhishek Chowdhary’s biography of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. We will showcase Rahman Abbas’s Urdu novel *Ek Tarha ka Pagalpan* based in the Konkani Muslim community, and Vasudhendra’s Kannada novel *Tejo Tunghabhadra* that tracks between Lisbon, Goa and the Deccan in the 16th and 17th centuries, and Damodar Mauzo’s Konkani novel *Jeev Diun kai Chya Marun* in translation by Jerry Pinto (whose amazing new translations of Tukaram will also
