Some good articles appearing in english goan newspapers sometimes escape the attention of the goanetters. It is good news for NRIs that they may shortly get back their rented houses/apartments, if they are needed for their own occupation. Mr. Jose Maria Miranda, in an article recently in Herald referred to a Bill in this regard passed by the Goa Assembly which , according to him, was pending for over a month for the assent of the Governor. However, there was immediately a denial from the I P Dept that the Bill was pending before the Governor. Mr. Miranda, however, clarified that this information was conveyed to him by the NRI Commission's Office, which now says that it is still pending with the Revenue Dept and that the said information was given to them by the said Dept. itself. It is understood that the Bill has not yet been forwarded to the Governor and one wonders why the Revenue Dept. is sleeping with the Bill and puts the blame on the Governor.

DACOITS ON THE LOOT, THIS TIME IT’S KHAREBAND HERALD REPORTER Decamp with gold ornaments worth Rs 8.5 lakh MARGAO, APRIL 26 Dacoits struck a bungalow at the River Sal Estate at Khareband last night in a big way, decamping with gold ornaments worth Rs 8.5 lakh. The incident sent shock waves in the posh locality as the dacoits carried out the operation in a meticulous manner, by overpowering the lone security man guarding the house. The incident is believed to have occurred between 1 am and 1.30 am when around 6-8 miscreants came into the compound from behind the bungalow owned by Judy Pereira and overpowered the security guard. After he was tied and gagged, the miscreants barged inside after breaking the main door. Once inside, they ransacked the house, apparently in search of the cupboard keys as evident by the clothes and other items strewn all over the place. Since the miscreants could not lay their hands on the keys, they broke open the cupboard drawers, to lay their hands on the booty. Around 17 gold rings, 18 gold earrings, 15 gold chains, 20 pendants, four gold coins, one gold tie pin, one bangle, three bracelets and two children bangles were looted by the dacoits. After completing the operation, the dacoits are believed to have feasted on a scotch whisky and are reported to have splashed the liquor on the face of the security man before leaving the place. Colva police said the inmates of the house had gone to the house of their relative. The security man is believed to have crawled his way to his relative house at Khareband at around 5.30 am before intimating the house owner and the police about the police. The police launched a manhunt for the accused persons after a complaint was lodged by Raina Fernandes. A police dog which was pressed into service could not provide any clue to the Colva police. The Colva police have detained two fruit sellers under Section 41 of the Police Act for the purpose of investigations. The security guard Gajanan Shetkar is also being interrogated by the police. The police suspect that the dacoity might be the handiwork of the same gang which was found active in the Port Town of Vasco. Police said the miscreants were wearing half pants and spoke in Malyalam. Further investigations are on. _ Drag n’ drop—Get easy photo sharing with Windows Live™ Photos. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/products/photos.aspx

Congratulations to Mr. Alexio Reginaldo Lourenco, Hon. MLA Curtorim, from all the Dhirio lovers of Curtorim working in Qatar - Mario F. D' Costa all his friends from Curtorim. Keep up the good work. Dhirios will now be legal! HERALD REPORTER Bill passed in House, guidelines to be issued PANJIM, MARCH 24 The Goa legislative assembly on Tuesday night, unanimously passed a bill legalizing dhirio or bullfighting in Goa though with provision for proper guidelines to prevent cruelty to the animals. The house passed the private members bill moved by Congress legislator from Curtorim, Reginaldo Lourenco, which now gives legislative sanction to the traditional sport of bullfighting, which was banned following a directive from the Panjim bench of the Bombay High Court about a decade ago. The legislative sanction however, comes with a rider. Proper guidelines will have to be issued form time to time, to ensure that cruelty to the animals is kept in check, Lourenco said, referring to the existing tradition of bullfighting in certain parts of Tamil Nadu. Intervening in the discussion, Speaker Pratapsing Rane wanted to know whether bullfighting would cause harm to animals. Reginaldo as well as leader of opposition Manohar Parrikar said that there would be proper regulation to ensure safety of animals involved in the sport. Reginaldo, contended that he had moved the bill as after some study he had come to know that the matter falls in the Concurrent List. Proper guidelines would have to be framed to check cruelty to animals involved in the sport. He had moved the bill in the last assembly session. In the bill, he had said that dhirio has been a traditional sport in Goa for many centuries and that it needed to be protected. Stating that authorities have been very strict in restricting the sport on the pretect of implementing the Act, he said this had led to arrest of several promoters and even spectators. Dhirios need to be protected with the mandate that the sport would be organised within the framework of guidelines of the state government. Reginaldo received support from all quarters in the house. Public Works Department Minister Churchill Alemao, ridiculed the phrase cruelty to animals. He said when human beings work as rickshaw pullers, is it not cruelty? Going a step further, he said milking a cow is also cruelty, which lead to laughter in the house. Aldona MLA Dayanand Narvekar congratulated Reginaldo for having done a lot of study before moving the bill. However, Home Minister Ravi Naiks suggestion to refer the bill to the Select Committee evoked strong response from members who recommended immediate passing of the bill.Tourism Mickky Pacheco, Urban Development Joaquim Alemao, Victoria Fernandes, Power Mnister, Alexio Sequeira, and others demanded that the bill should be passed today itself. With chief minister giving the nod, the bill was passed by voice vote.Former chief minister and North Goa Member of Parliament Francisco Sardinha had also introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha in February this year, seeking to legalise bullfighting in Goa, which he claimed could help to promote tourism in the State.

We should not let personal egos and likings be a deciding factor With elections round the corner, I can't help but think, what will be different after this election ? From Panchayats to the Parliament, politics is become a business for scoundrels, a family entrepreneurship, a safe haven for stinking mafisos, castiests, extortionists, rapists and murderers. With all the electronic development we have distastefully been witnesses to the horrifying acts in Parliament and the different Vidhan Sabhas over the years, it's been an utter disgrace to Indian Democracy. On one hand we boast of our achievements in science and technology and elected members act like the barbarians of the stone age era, we are eagerly trying to compete with the rest of the world to fill up space with electronic gadgets but fail to alleviate poverty and misery from our land. We claim to be a secular, peaceful, co-existing entourage of diversity when in fact our own politicians have been conceiving and incubating communal and sectarian hatred for the sake of votes and power. We claim to be marching well into the 21st century ideologies, but reluctant to let go of the ideologies of the early centuries, as modern as we might be on the outside our minds and hearts are still of the ancient era. It's pathetic to boast of our most ancient civilization, culture and values and act in the most uncivilized way today, trumpeting about our past that has no relevance to our behaviour today. More than six decades of Independence, while people all over the world fight for equality and we in India are fighting to be declared as SC, ST and BC, are we marching into the 21st century ? Women all over the world have been empowered but in India women are still burnt, chased around, trashed and disgraced in public and the perpetrators roam freely supported by the politicians and the protectors of the law. Our Parliament and our Vidhan Sabhas have been dustbins for a long time, the problem is, are we going to let this continue and till the trash in the bins decompose and spread fatal contagious diseases that will devour our states and our country as well ? We most certainly deserves a better lot to be elected members of our parliament and Vidhan Sabhas. We should not let personal egos and likings be a deciding factor.

Sir, protocol requires that you intimate to us at your earliest your acceptance so that we may proceed further with the formalities that are required to be executed. Before we end, let us vigorously say that we hold you in highest of esteem and we are sure that there will be none to snatch this Prize from you, the name of which shall be internationally acclaimed as the GOAN PRIZE. We also declare that should you not hold this prize in your hands and have it attached to your good name, which possibility is remote, we assure you that your 'essay' will be treasured in the 'golden book' of Goa, to be handed over to the generations to come for its safe-keeping. We are anxiously awaiting your I accept to put us out of our utmost anxiety.

The word dotor means doctor in Portuguese, as far as I know and doctors are supposed to treat and heal . What I cannot understand is - why is it used with reference to lawyers. Some (repeat some) advocates in Goa are so corrupt that that they are the cause of diseases in a state which is riddled with property disputes.

While one person picked up 100 barrels, another man took possession of the remaining 75 barrels.It is surprising to note that the Mooring Dolphins are at a distance of about 200 mts from the port and despite strict patrolling, security agencies failed to nab the culprits.“There are about 15 such illegal operators who smuggle scrap, oil and diesel and each one of them greases the palms of the security agencies, thereby enabling them to carry out the illegal activities”, alleged the source.“Ever since security has been beefed up, smuggling operations have been shifted to Vaddem beach”, informed the source.It may be recalled that on December 2, 2008 a joint meeting was conducted with the Vasco, Mormugao Coastal Police and trawlers owners at the Vasco fishing jetty. Fishermen and trawler owners had highlighted the issue of smuggling activities and the police had assured to stop the illegal activity.When contacted, Vasco Police Inspector Sagar Ekoskar claimed he was unaware of the incident and confirmed that no such police complaint had been filed in the matter.While the NIO Director Dr S R Shetye could not be contacted for comments, Dr Murari Tapasvi of NIO said that though the NIO had chartered the vessel, its handling and maintenance was being done by National Center for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR). While NCAOR Director Dr Rashik Ravindran is out of station, another official Dr M Sudhakar admitted that the ship has been chartered by NCAOR, but ruled out the possibility of pilferage of huge quantities of diesel.“The ship was decommissioned on December 20, 2008 for repairs and was re-commissioned on January 4,” Dr Sudhakar said.“The ship sailed to the Indian Ocean on the night of January 9. We have the ship since 2005, except for a break of 7-8 months for repairs, but we have never come across such a complaint”, Dr Sudhakar added. _ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.

Sir, The Goa Su-Raj Party congratulates Shri. Sudesh Kalangutkar in person, and the wheel behind this expose, the 'Jai Damodar Association' of Margao headed by Shri. Mahesh Naik for having exposed the inner workings of Goa's Transport Department through the booking of Shri. Ashok Bonsle, the Deputy Director of Transport by the Crime Branch, for indulging in gross illegalities and corrupt practices to defraud the government treasury of large sums of money over a period of almost 15 years. Goans have always known how our government departments work to defraud the public exchequer, but this expose gives an insight to the rot that has been set and solidified over a long period of time, seemingly making it impossible to clean up the mess which has become terminal. The Goa Su-Raj Party has always appreciated the consistency and determination with which Shri. Mahesh Naik has worked for many years to expose the corrupt inner workings of Goa's Transport Department to the point of being hysterical. And the Party is glad that he has, at last, hit PAY DIRT. The Crime branch is urged to get to the bottom of this issue and thoroughly expose not only Shri. Bonsle who is but a pawn in this cheating industry, but others who may be even bigger fishes in this dirty pond, not excluding our successive esteemed elected people's representatives who have been in charge of this Department from time to time and who have positively helped or favoured to take it to the point of no return. At this point, the Goa Su-Raj Party asks these two pertinent questions. Why only Shri. Bonsle?. Why only the Transport Department? It is a well known fact that every single department of the government of Goa stinks to high heavens and must be thoroughly investigated, RTI or no RTI, to bring to book all those moving wheels and the wheels within wheels, which have helped reduce our Golden Goa to the stink that it presently is. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that Goa can afford the luxury of being paved with 'GOLD' if all the illegal tapings and drainages are severed from the main flow of Goa's treasury. The Goa Su-Raj Party demands that the government of Goa suspends Shri. Bonsle from service with immediate effect until the investigation is completed so that he may not be able to destroy/hide or camouflage the evidence that may crucify him and others like him. Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen. Secretary/Spokesperson, Goa Su-Raj Party H.O: Pirazona-Moira-Bardez-Goa. [Mobile: 9890470896 - Landline: (0832) 2470223]

Indians in India are regrettably undisciplined and generally have scant respect for the rules and law. IT MUST BE SAID:This culture is encouraged by the corrupt administration and behaviour of most of the political class who consider themselves like the police above the law.The Mumbai terrorist attack has enabled the police to stop the Candolim Sunburn Festival which was given permission with rules to follow ,which in the normal course would have been legally followed only on paper. This is also the case with the 10PM and extended 12PM deadlines. I went for a Christmas dance and the band continued at full volume after 12pm WITH THE CROWD MERRILY SWINGING! When I asked the organisers they said nobody bothers us.We are used to go beyond set norms , even after 26/11 ,like the 19 yr old biker racing in Bangalore, not stopping and running away when challenged by the security forces.He was shot, and the reaction of most of the public is to blame the authorities for excessive action! I may mention here that people told me that they are scared to complain because the police/authorities ,to be politically in good books with vested interests/powers that be, give out the name of the complainant and there is nobody to protect them!

“DIE HARD” AT MUMBAI Those who have seen the movie “Die Hard” have a parallel in modus operandi of the terrorists in Mumbai. It is highly unlikely we have the police organization depicted, or the professional toughness of the super hero to bring all the terrorists to book. In America Die Hard happens in Hollywood studious and generally not in American cities after 9/11. We have to have a capable, professional police force with separation and specialization for Crime, Law and Order, Computer and Forensics, Investigation and interrogation, Negotiations with Kidnappers etc using modern equipment and sharing in internal world wide up to date intelligence. Most importantly, as propounded by our Supreme Court, isolated from the political establishment and politics! There has to be policy laid down for coordination between various agencies like Rapid Action Forces, Emergency Services, Defence Forces, TV and the Media, which entails setting up temporary Command Centers and a designated Officer in Charge for overall responsibility and coordination at the Site, so there is no confusion till all the organizations can function with full capacity. There have to be mock drills held from time to time to test out the organization and improve/update it. This will entail complete revamp of all the organizations from recruitment to training to weeding out the incompetent and indoctrinated/suspicious elements. With Sadvis and army officers getting polarized, the situation is getting alarmingly complicated and dangerous. With the world in recession, and India relatively comfortably placed, there will be those who want to use this opportunity to bring India to its knees, rather than accelerate to a superpower. The Media must report and inform. It is obvious that the terrorists will have mobile phones and their headquarters/control centers watching the drama unfold. Surely they must not be informed about the forces that are being brought to bear, where and how? It is imperative commandos obtain surprise, and their and other lives are not further risked television channels, one trying to outdo the other with crucial leaks and information for TRP ratings in such life and death situations! They also keep repeating the same gory details with inane questions to different authorities which are many times “not on the same frequency”. Surely there must be an official spokesperson for statements that are quoted by foreign reporters updating their channels that come out at variance by what we are seeing on the various Indian channels! Even in the absence of our special forces having such organization and backup(Remember Kargill where brave ill equipped forces did the job), the job was done splendidly! Since Mumbai is the headquarters of the Western Fleet and its Dockyards and other vital Institutions to our projected sea power are located there, navy now taking on the well organized and well funded international Sea Pirates, I’m afraid these maybe on the hit list next, and will have to be doubly protected at all times with heightened security and awareness. With the Defense Minister pulling up our naval chief who had the courage to stand up against the wrong done in pay parity with civilian counterparts, and now I hear permission has to be taken before engaging sea pirates hijacking vessels /before even firing in self defence, I wonder what our stone age geriatric bosses ( most lacking in moralty and courage) who cannot take tough decisions,will come out with!There is no alternative to professionalism and good organization with Prevention better than Cure attitude.

The good doctor must know that Francois is an important Hindutva ideologue. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francois_Gautier -He is a staunch supporter of Hindu nationalist movements and has written many books on Hinduism, Indian politics and Hindutva. Among his books are Un autre Regard sur l'Inde (Editions du Tricorne, Geneva-Paris)[10] ; Arise O India (Har Anand 1999)[11], Cry O my bloved India [12]A Western journalist on India (Har-Anand 2001), India's Self Denial (Editions Auroville Press, 2001)[13] and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a guru of Joy (India Today Book Club, 2002)[14].) Throwing in words like calculating church and bogeys like conversion to justify violence is what such writers do, that is their raison d'etre. The one point agenda is hate the other and dig up reasons fictitious mostly but drop in a few elements of truth to justify large scale violence. Majoritarianism, not terrorism may be a greater danger to India's unity, time will tell. Just to show how hate is created, I will put out official nazi literature (No offence to any Jew on the forum, just attempting to show how politically one can give a dog a bad name and kill it) Dr UG can also be gratified to know that such a great nation as Germany also fell prey to this cycle of hatred which in the end destroyed the Third Reich. Adolf Hitler came to his so called conclusion later If you are determined finally to defend yourself, German people, then be pitiless!

A TEN POINT RECIPE TO ACHIEVE CLEAN POLITICS AND GOOD-EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE IN GOA EMPHASIZE ON A WRITTEN DOWN - FIXED - PARTY PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTIONS WHICH SPECIFIES EVERY MOVE OF THE PARTY FROM SELECTING A CANDIDATE TO ELECTING ITS CABINET OF MINISTERS AND DISTRIBUTION OF PORTFOLIOS. THE PARTY THAT HAS NO SET PROCEDURES TO OBSERVE IS A PARTY THAT WILL TAKE ITS VOTERS FOR A JOLLY GOOD RIDE ONCE ELECTED. NOT TO VOTE FOR INDIVIDUALS, HOWEVER GOOD OR 'SEEM TO BE GOOD' THEY MAY BE. THERE ARE NO GOOD OR BAD PERSONS. THERE IS NONE IN THIS WORLD WHO WILL ACCEPT THE TAG OF BEING A BAD PERSON. EVEN A CONVICTED CRIMINAL OR A MURDERER WILL HAVE A STRING OF EXPLANATIONS/REASONS FOR HAVING DONE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE, WHICH IS CONSIDERED 'BAD' ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE LAND. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SAINTS, LOOK FOR THEM IN HEAVEN, NOT HERE ON EARTH. MORE WRONGS ARE DONE WITH GOOD INTENSIONS AT HEART IN THE ABSENCE OF A SET PROCEDURAL SYSTEM TO GUIDE AND MONITOR THE ACTIONS. VOTE FOR A WRITTEN DOWN PARTY PROGRAMME DETAILING ITS POLICY MATTERS ON EVERY IMPORTANT AND CRUCIAL SUBJECT. ORAL PROMISES OR ONE PAGE ELECTION-TIME 'MANIFESTOS' ARE KNOWN TO VANISH IN THIN AIR AFTER THE ELECTION RESULTS ARE DECLARED. AT NO TIME PUT YOUR TRUST IN AN INDEPENDENT, UN-ATTACHED TO ANY SET COLLECTIVE IDEOLOGY - CANDIDATES. THEY ARE FLY BY NIGHT OPERATORS EVEN IF THESE PERSONS ARE CONSIDERED GOOD PERSONS. THEY HAVE NO ONE TO ACCOUNT FOR ONCE ELECTED AND THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY CAN SWING TO ANY SIDE, EITHER OF THEIR OWN ACCORD OR UNDER EXTERNAL PRESSURES. A PERSON ALWAYS BUT ALWAYS HAS A PRICE. AND THE QUANTUM OF THAT PRICE WILL DIFFER FROM PERSON TO PERSON. LET YOUR CANDIDATE BE THE KITE FLYING HIGH WITH THE CONTROLLING STRING FIRMLY IN THE HANDS OF THE KITE FLYER (THE CONSTITUENTS IN THIS CASE). LETTING GO OF THE CONTROLLING STRING, THE KITE WILL DETERMINE ITS OWN SHORT FLIGHT PATTERN AND IT'S LANDING PLACE WILL BE A QUESTION MARK. CHOOSE POLITICS WHICH RESPECTS THE 'PUBLIC EXCHEQUER' WHICH IS NOTHING BUT YOUR TAX MONEY. BAD POLITICS IS SYNONYMOUS TO A 'PUNCTURED AT WILL' BARREL FILLING UP FROM A PUBLIC TAP. YOUR TAX MONEY IS FLOWING OUT PREMATURELY, MOSTLY UNACCOUNTED FOR, INSTEAD OF OVERFLOWING AND SATISFYING THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE OVERFLOW WITH THE FILLED TO THE BRIM BARREL REMAINING ALWAYS IN RESERVE TO BE DIPPED INTO AT ANY TIME FOR EXIGENCIES. IDENTITY AND OUT-SOURCE CARRIER POLITICIANS WHO DEPEND ON POLITICS AS A SOURCE OF HIS/HER EARNINGS. REAL POLITICIANS ARE PERSONS WHO HAVE ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF EARNING AND WHO ARE FORCED INTO ELECTORAL POLITICS BY THE PEOPLE WHO RESPECT HIS/HER INTEGRITY AND THE CAPACITY TO WORK SELFLESSLY FOR A COMMON CAUSE. REAL POLITICIAN WILL READILY AGREE NOT TO CONTEST AGAIN IF ASKED NOT TO, A CUE THE PEOPLE MUST TAKE IF THEY WANT POLITICS TO REMAIN CLEAN AND IN THEIR SERVICE. DISCARD THE WINNABILITY CRITERION OF A CANDIDATE. IF YOU ALLOW THE CANDIDATE TO WIN ON HIS/HER OWN MERIT, YOU HAVE LOST THE GAME. YOU MUST VOLUNTEER TO DIP INTO YOUR OWN POCKET TO FINANCE THE ELECTION OF YOUR CANDIDATE IF YOU WANT TO BUY YOURSELF INTO THE 'GOOD GOVERNANCE' GAME YOU DESIRE. YOU GET NOTHING FOR ELECTING A SELF-MADE, SELF-CENTERED POLITICIAN LOOK FOR THE INGREDIENT OF SELF-SACRIFICE IN YOUR FAVORITE PARTY'S PROGRAMME. IF YOU DO NOT FIND IT, THEN IT IS YOUR DUTY TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. YOU WILL HAVE ENSURED A PLACE FOR YOUR CHILDREN IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS TO SAFEGUARD THEIR FUTURE WELL-BEING. MORE PEOPLE HAVE GONE DOWN THE DARK HOLE FOR HELPING GREEDY POLITICIANS TO AMASS WEALTH AT THEIR OWN COST. VOTE FOR A PARTY PROGRAMME WHICH IS DISCIPLINED, AND REMAINS DISCIPLINED AND RIGID IN ITS ATTITUDE AT ALL TIMES TOWARDS ITS DECLARED PARTY PROCEDURES. Dear Goans, In Goa, if one wants to know the effectiveness of one's deeds, this old Konkani saying sums it up at one go. Tumvem Kelaim Kitem, Tum Kortai Kitem ani Tum Kortoloi Kitem which simply means: [What have you done, What are you doing, and What will you do] As far as Goa's politics and politicking is concerned, we all know what all has been done for Goa in the past since 1961. Goa needs to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for that. We know what is happening presently. Whether we like it or not is something that will make or break Goa, henceforth. But importantly, Goans must want to know what will happen in the near future especially that the call for the next elections is nearing. If they get a jolt to see what will happen, then they must collectively look for the above 10 points and try to find them in the respective political parties of their choice. It is next to impossible to find many of the gems elaborated above in most of our existing long-time political parties. This makes it obvious to us that what is happening to Goa today is directly related to the deficiencies. Perhaps they can change for the

What ? How Much Have You Done for the Suffering Christians ? Saffron under Khaki Uniforms ? What Next ? Dear Friend in Christ, The RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal have struck again in Karnataka, Gujarat, Orissa Ujjain - as of now. And it is not only the Christians, who are at the receiving end. The Muslims are too. In Mangalore, it was the Muslims, who rang the bells of the church, as the nuns, priests Christians were being attacked. When I was in Orissa, we heard slogans like pehle Issai, pher Kassai - first Christians, then Muslims We now have proof of the attrocities by the protectors of the Hindu faith - The Saffron Brigade in Uniform - the police forest officers. Must See Pics on www.thecsf.org thanks to our co-ordination with various websites. In Mangalore today, the president of the National Women's Commission Ms. Giriji Vyas had first hand proof of police brutality, where even nuns and women were not spared. In a fresh incident today, George Church at Ujire, Karnataka was targeted by miscreants. Fr. Joseph Valiaparambil, from Belthangady Bishop's house said that the Christian community of Belthangady was deeply hurt and shocked with the incident. The altar and statues of churches continue to be desecrated, with the police arrive late and taking no action. The Hindu radicals are trying to divide Christians into Catholics Protestants, by saying that the New Life is involved. Then why target Catholic Churches or helpless cloistered nuns ? And why not complain or take action against those Christian fundamentalists, if at all they do exist ! After all it is the BJP in power. Again today morning a battery of Forest Officers and Gujarat police descended on the village of Nandapeda near Ahwa in the Dangs, Gujarat. They pulled out the doors and the windows, pulled out the wooden ballis which support the roof; they pulled out wood from the roof of the huts of the villagers. The ATS rounded up a few people. Nandapeda is the only village with majority Muslim population in the Dangs district, considered the poorest district in the whole of India. The Narendra Modi government has been pressurizing the Muslims to convert to the Hindu religion or face eviction from their land. Some residents have moved the Gujarat High Court against the government's pressure of converting and changing their religion. Here is an SOS, to come together and offer support. Are you better off than the Christians being persecuted, then here is what we need :- 1) Emails mobile numbers of those who join in, when possible. 2) Contacts of international Christian human rights organisations. 3) Funds to bear expenses, as we believe the damage in much it is just the begining. 4) Money is necessary for media, staff, travel, relief, printing, documentation, legal assistance... NB: God measures with a different yardstick. He won't ask what kind of car you drove, but how many people you gave rides to. He won't ask the square footage of your home, but how you raised your children and treated your family. He won't ask about the brand names in your closet, but who you helped to clothe. He won't ask about your salary, but how much you invested into the building of His Kingdom. He won't ask about your job title, but if you tried to perform with excellence and integrity. He won't ask how many friends you had, but how many people you were a friend to. He won't ask what neighbourhood you lived in, but if you loved your neighbour. He won't ask about your politics or the colour of your skin, but about the quality of your character. So don't just work hard, work hard for the right reasons!

***I am reproducing the witness of those who have seen the white host being transformed into flesh and blood, thus confirming the words of Jesus of his real presence in the Eucharistthrough transubstantiation.

He has clearly said I am the Lord thy God, You will have no strange gods before me This Kingdom of God and about the history of the Kingdom of GOd is in the knowledge of God and alone and it is He who inspires and reveals to people He prefers to reveal. Many times Miracles are man made. If God wanted to show these miracles He would show it to everyone and not only to few. There has been instances of bogus miracles too which I do not like to discus on this net not out of fear but out of disgust. The person who has seen God is Jesus Christ. He has clearly mentioned every inch of his knowledge into the Bible and there lies the authenticity of God. Many times the clergy take undue respect of calling human beings as scholars of the church or scholars of the scriptures. There are no scholars of the scriptures unless God reveals the matter to them. Hope I am clear. Albert _ Searching for the best deals on travel?

PODD'DEA FATTLEAN: (22)KONKANI TIATR COMPETITION (KALA AKADEMI-GOA)TIATRANCHEO SPORDHO FAIDEACHEO ?Albert writes:- At the begining let me tell you that judging is very difficult sometimes. A good judge finds it very difficult to judge. So when appointing judges only those who have written and directed konkani tiatrs and have acted in tiatrs should be appointed as judges. In the tiatr competition there should be seven podd'do tiatr and the curtain should be drawn. A tiatr cannot be a natok. Natok competition is different. Sometimes for tiatr competition the stage is set only once and the different scenes are shown by changing the lights. Moving stage should not be allowed as all participants cannot afford to have revolving stage. While declaring best prize for script the judges should not be the same as that for the tiatr. These should be those who have published konkani books in romi lipi. While distributing prizes Kala academy should have the same programme as they have for Marathi competitions. I have noticed that the prize distribution for konkani tiatr is done more of a formality. Not much of a programme .Once when i took part in the competition in 1984 the prize distribution was held in an open space. M Boyer was the chief guest. Batawadas were distributed and one cold drink. Some one came up and spoke few words and prizes were distributed. MBoyer spoke two and half sentences and the programme was over. It was not even held in the hall. Few days later Marathi prize distribution for competion held in Marathi was held in the AC auditorium on a grand scale. There were speakers after speakers speaking on this and that and the programme lasted for nearly four to six hours followed by lunch. There were dignitories like CM and many renowned invitees. albert _ Searching for the best deals on travel? Visit MSN Travel. http://msn.coxandkings.co.in/cnk/cnk.do

Greetings! For a research paper exploring the Fading Art of Goan Gold and Silver Smithy, I'm looking for help/suggestions/contacts for the following: List of museums/ trusts/ individuals/ jewellers who may help gain a historical perspective in the goan gold and silver smithy from 16th to early 20th century. Old Jewellery houses/ museums/ individuals who may be able to help document the various jewellery styles techniques prevalent in the said period through examination of the relevant pieces that they possess as well as through their collection of old pictures historical texts. The intent is to assemble as much visual material as possible of Goan gold silver craft traditions that are extant in the various museums, Goan churches, aristocratic houses and private collections. This also includes photographs/illustrations of the related interest: fabrication process, fabrication units, trading process etc. In essence: besides Museums, am trying to trace people who may want to share their private collections for the documentation purposes. List contacts of any surviving craftsmen/jewellers engaged in this trade will be especially helpful. Am also trying to get the contacts of Dr. P. P. Shirodkar, former Director, Archives and Archaeology, Government of Goa. If anyone can help with that, I'll be really grateful. Look fwd to your replies/inputs Rgds, Puja Bhargava (New Delhi)

Dears, Let me start with the GBA. I believe that the GBA was the best thing that happened to Goa after the Opinion Poll and the Language Agitation. That Goa needed a very stable yet strong, People Oriented 'Pressure Group' to keep the increasingly self-centered governments of the day in check was never in doubt. It is in this direction, to put together a strong apolitically oriented 'pressure group' in place, a consolidated move was made in late 1999, starting it's first deliberations at the 'International Center', Dona Paula, and moving off to 'Caritas' in Panjim which ultimately culminated in the formation of the Goa Su-Raj Party. Why? Because it was generally felt that NGOs and Pressure Groups cannot and will not survive the pacifications by the powers that be which are strong-willed, and funded by self-interest as well as unlimited monetary resources, right from the public exchequer. If it was the interest of the assembled persons to fight dirty politics, the only answer would be to challenge dirty politics with clean politics. That there is no bull-fight if horns of the opposing bulls do not lock in that fight was very much hinted at. However, that the bull-fights have been stopped in Goa is another matter altogether, and does not give the 'carte blanche' to the dirty politicos of Goa to prosper with vigour J I would be an active part of the GBA if I had attended the Don Bosco's meet when it was formed, by virtue of being the General Secretary of the very effective and result oriented environmental group called the Goa Environmental Action Group. My political face or not, no one can dismiss my environmental activism, where, not to boast, I have 5 successful Public Interest Litigations to my name. And therefore, I was genuinely happy to offer my maximum support to the GBA as an organization, from the outside, because of my dual face, especially not to give the hungry politicos the chance to point fingers for their exclusion. Dr. Oscar Rebello is aware of this aspect as I had confided in him, privately. But it was a rude shock to me on 18th. December at Azad Maidan when, despite my request, the President of the Goa Environmental Action Group was not even acknowledged by his presence, dismissing GEAG as a non-entity by the very person or persons who tom-tom'ed of GBA's apolitical stand and at the same time gave the central stage to the General Secretary of the UGDP. I have spent a good number of years actively fighting social issues and I knew that not all was right with the GBA to start with. That vested interests had already infiltrated the movement was obvious and it would be only a matter of time before things would come to a clash. It has come to that now, already, to much recriminations and personal attacks which Goa could do without to the cheers of the powers that be. An unfortunate thing to happen when Goa is going through a most difficult phase of vested interest taken over without abandon left, right and center. Knowing fully well that Goa's problems will not pass away by ignoring active political interest, I had personally phoned Dr. Oscar Rebello, a few days before the formation of the GBA, infact, on the evening of the 'Press Symposium' held at Don Bosco's (the very day that Patricia Pinto was arrested for agitating against the cutting of a roadside tree at Caranzalem), telling him that he must contest the Panjim seat in the coming 2007 assembly elections and that it was my acute belief that he will win the seat. It is a different matter altogether that the GBA under Dr. Oscar Rebello, did not even utter a single word in favour of those candidates, including myself (who contesting the Aldona seat), that electing these persons would make a difference to Goa's stinking politics, hiding behind the elusive apolitical curtain, much to the happiness of the Goa's dirty political vested interests. I am not blaming Dr. Oscar Rebello for this but want to expose the GBA's inner machinations of remaining apolitical, which I have forthrightly objected from the start. To me, if we follow or are seen to follow Mahatma Gandhi as the father of the nations, then it is right that we follow his wishes when he said WE MUST BE THE CHANGE THAT WE WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD' [ How's that for a CHANGE?? J] I have done my bit to help the GBA wherever I could to stop at least one major environmental degradation vide hill cutting (of which Patricia Pinto will know), but mostly I have been a silent observer. It pains my heart to come to the conclusion that, however much the GBA or whatever remains of it may tout tout, that it is intact and will perform, the GBA that Goa had put it's faith in, is lost forever. That Goa will muster it's strength to put in place another People's Organization is in doubt, but will do better to look at the 'CITIZENS' [OF GOA] INITIATIVE' that has shown it's head, as if on the burning

Dears, Mining below the water table by endlessly pumping our the water from the pits ... and deep bore wells in industrial estates ... are inextricably linked to the sudden drying up of village wells, ponds, tanks and even the bathing ghats at the temple of the Earth Goddess Lairaiee at Sirigao or Shirgao on the banks of Assonora river and in the lap of the Shirgao mines. The CNN-IBN team led by Bahar Dutt and Tridip Mondal visited Shirigao on 04 May, 2008, just days before the annual zatra ...and filmed the dry Dhondd-anchi Tolli. The NEERI team has till December, 2008 to submit its report. Good job by Amicus Curae, Adv. Norma Alvares. I hope the HC extends its time to study the impact on water and dust ... the adversities peak in April-May each year. A survey during the monsoons will give the three mines a rain-washed CLEAN CHIT. The NEERI team will otherwise have to depend on secondary data and interviews, not always reliable in a world where money equals power. Mog asundi. Miguel HC for study on Shirgao pollution 17 Jun 2008, 0339 hrs IST,TNN PANAJI: The high court of Bombay at Goa has appointed the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute to examine damage to agriculture and water bodies in the village of Shirgao, Bicholim. The cost of the study—Rs 25 lakh—will be shared by three mining companies. Earlier this year, Shirgao villagers had written to the court seeking justice against pollution caused by mining and the letter was taken up as a PIL. The villagers had pointed out that water bodies and agriculture had been affected due to mining, depriving them of their livelihood. The court had issued notices to the mining companies and to the government in the matter.A division bench comprising justice S A Bobde and justice R C Chavan has asked NEERI to examine whether the depletion in well and surface water bodies in the village is due to mining operations. var RN = new String (Math.random()); var RNS = RN.substring (2,11); var b2 = ' '; if (doweshowbellyad==1) bellyad.innerHTML = b2; Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.

Don't sell our mai Goa. As per the constitution of our great country,we all Indians are brothers and sisters and can travel and work anywhere within the country to earn a living.The gates of our beloved Goa are open to all,there are good opportunities available for the non-goans than niz goenkars and they take the full advantage of it.In recentnbsp;times one can also witness some odd,notorious faces in the one time peaceful,beautifulnbsp; state on Goa,they stare to our women but we can't do much about that legally as they are our fellow Indians.In my case,I really don't have any problem regarding the migrants coming to Goa to earn a living but selling our rights to these migrants by our politicians in Power is a serious matter,it's really a threat to our unique identity. nbsp; Take the case of Monti-Dongor at Margao where the migrants enjoys all the rights of a niz goenkar.Don't they have the electricity/water connections?Don't they have the ration/voters identity cards?The chief ministers should be in a better position to answer these question,that's his voters bank and he is ready to do anything thing for his voters at monti-dogor.What is the difference between those migrant goenkars and we who call ourselves as niz goenkars?I personally don't see any difference,on the contrary they stand above us as some of our so called niz goenakars don't even have a voter's identity card.It's a procedure to be followed for us but for the migrants somebody else does that work,things are much more easier for them than us. nbsp; The Sancoale Panchayat has taken over by a migrant Sarpanch and still we have not learned much from the same and soon Margao will be taken over by one of the migrant from monti-dongor if our CM continues with his sympathy towards the migrants from the monti-dongor at Margao.Just prior to the last assembly elections a party called Save Goa Front was formed to fight against the corrupt Congress by the former UGDP supremo call Churchill Alemao.Was it not the samenbsp;Churchill whonbsp;had the village levelnbsp;meetings against thenbsp;Mopa airport?Has Mopa airport been scrapped?what about the equal status fornbsp;Roman Konkani with our mother tongue Devnagri?Churchill is the right person to answernbsp;these questions. nbsp; How most of the Sarpanch's representing the Panchayats at the coastal belt turn out to be so rich?The reasonnbsp;is very simple,they get their share,they are least concerned about their fellow villagers,money power forces them to close their eyes and they sell their signatures and the government stamp.Nice to hear that the people from the coastal belt of Salcette are finally awake.For the corrupt politicians,anything is a part of development as long as they get their share and that is the reason why we witness the sad state of our beloved Goa.Goa belongs to niz goenkars and not to the 40 elected thieves.People power works and will always prevail.

I am so amused at ow goanet provoke people who miss the point and go off at a tangent thereby exposin their own lack of esteeem. Too many armchair intelluctuals out there who feel they can air their opinion especially when they hide behind a veil of fake names Firstly Selma I dont have a fat swimming pool. Its so narrow that 2 can swim across at a time. Secoundly, whats your grouse against wealth?? I work hard and do not need to apologise for what I do with my money. If you earn it and want to be austure, go ahead. Let me remind yu that I was born in a chawl with a public toilet. I was shy, stammering and called names due to my sexuality. But UI braved all that and came up trumps. If you were my Mom and Dad yu would be so proud. Due to hard work I pulled my family out of middle calss and sent all my younger brothers to college. I dont want to say much but.Listen dear, if I made it ANYONE can. I worked hard and got where I never dreamed I would. Dont blame me for now enjoying the fruits of my hard work. I am not Mother Theresa but I do my bit in my own way. As for the other points in my vision for Goan villages, at least it is heartfelt, transparent and not corrupt.If you saw what the government spends on...its a shame. Pubic money to fy fools down to Cannes. Public money to pay 90 lakhs for Salman to dance at IFFI. . A shame. There is a ot of wealth in Goa. I am sure if robbers steal my neighbours safe they will find more gold there than in my house. All they will find are books, paintings and music collectons. I know people who say they cant afford me but their bar and food bill ammounts to more than a garment of mine. Someone objected to the village having a village pool. As a person who lives in a village (unlike many of our intelligensia in Goa), I have seen how we lost the hills we walked on (hence the need to build a park is the need of the hour). We cannot swim in our river due to sand dredging and pollutants (hence a pool). The panchayat made a gutter that leads no where.(instead of leaving a pavement to walk on for the elderly and children). Children who played on the hills and plucked wild fruit have no hills any more. So you tell me, dont we Goans have to make a plan for our villages instead of the Governemnt carving up Communidade land for some outsiders?? Our villages are fast becoming towns with no planning at all That is the essence of my article. As a Goan who is a vllager at heart and has the interest of my village first and all other Goan villages at the same time, one cannot fault me for my love and passion or Goa Hope you understand Regards Wendell On 20/05/2008, Cecil Pinto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Message: 9 Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 16:05:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Carvalho [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet] Wendell's model Goan Village To: Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! goanet@lists.goanet.org Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 First of all let me preface this by saying I have nothing against Wendell.

And oh yes, the government should give-away 10 computers to every village to surf the net in the time not spent harvesting water or tending to the fields. We can convince some of those Colva Bamons who are currently teachers at Rosary, Presentation and Monovikas, to give up their time to set that standard of education as good as a city in any part of India??

Want to see Goa Prosperous? Have SEZs, SHZs, STZs NT Panorama - Sunday January 27, 2008 By M Pinheiro [Principal of V M Salgaonkar Law College, Panjim] For development or against development, for preservation or against preservation seems to be the battle cry resounding throughout the length and breadth of Goa. There also seems to be a competitive cry of 'I Love Goa more than they', the fact remaining that no one loves Goa more than themselves and definitely not more than their immediate need or greed. Everyone and every state has to be prepared for progress and growth. Nothing is static, everything has to move. If there is no movement towards progress the movement has to be towards degeneration and that seems to be Goa's crisis now. The pertinent question being, what kind of progress and what kind of growth? Is progress only limited to some people getting the opportunity to amass huge wealth, or is it limited to big buildings and industries or is progress merely industrialization. Growth and prosperity have a much wider scope and meaning than setting up of few industries and so on. Any progress would necessarily be counter productive if it is undesirable in the larger context of the state. Hence Goa's progress necessarily has to be contextualized geographically, culturally and socio-economically to the needs of the state. Thinking that Goa will progress if if it has industries or IT parks and so on, it is just being myopic and certainly tends to have more adverse repercussions than beneficial outcomes. It is an accepted fact that Goans outside Goa ( in other states in India and abroad) have excelled in almost all fields of human endeavour be it business, education, science or technology. It is a fact no one would dispute. Dd to this the fact that Goans as a community are well accepted and well received anywhere on this earth and it speaks about their personal and cultural capabilities. Goans are thus intellectually inferior to none. If so, for the progress of Goa and Goans the first natural choice should be education. Goa and the Goan youth deserve the world's best education and Goa becoming the world's Special Education Zone (SEZ) should be the choice option. The state government and the central government could invite the world's best educational centers and universities to set up their centers/branches in Goa. For world-class infrastructure some of these five star hotels ( there are too many of them in Goa) could be converted into universities and the facilities therein could be used for lecture halls, research and conference centers, guest accommodation, faculty accommodation and international student accommodation. The best academic talents would visit Goa to teach the best of international students. Yes, the only condition for such renowned centers of education to set up their establishment in Goa should be that 10 per cent of the seats should be open to Goan students. If there are ten such best centers of education in Goa, with each of them catering to 1000 students ( a modest estimate) then a 100 Goan students will get the best of world-class education every year. In five years it will be 500 students and in 10 years it will be 1000. Inviting the best educational institutions in India to set-up their centers in Goa apart. On a modest estimate 10 per cent of the total Goan students would get the best of education. Needless to say in ten years they will man these institutions. The visitor who come to Goa will not be drug peddlers, black marketers, and land grabbers but intellectuals, academicians and youth who are seeking knowledge. Tourism of a new kind. Providing this population, which will always be transitory and temporary, with necessary facilities like accommodation and their day to day needs during their sojourn in Goa will provide employment to the local community, which will be an added benefit to the youth getting world class education. When such world -class education is available in the vicinity it will be but natural that the existing educational institutions improve and enhance their quality for they would become redundant otherwise. So a healthy competition would certainly improve the quality of education in Goa and ultimately the state. The youth especially will greatly benefit from the competitive high quality education. There will be an overall movement towards quality education in all areas and at all stages because comparisons will draw stark reality and when reality strikes one cannot deny with wordily camouflage the need for quality and excellence. Goa should therefore invite as many universities and as many educational centers as possible ( the more the better) to set up their organization in Goa. The present thinking in the higher academic circles is to treat the possibility of a central university as a threat to the present establishment. Goans should realize that the greatest threat to its future is the non-availability of quality education and lack of

* * * 2007 ANNUAL GOANETTERS MEET - GOA * * * WHERE: Foodland Cafe - Miramar Residency - Miramar, Goa WHEN: December 27, 2007 @ 4:30pm More info: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2007-December/066098.html To: NRI Commissioner – Shri Eduardo Faleiro – Government of Goa. Memorandum:- With reference to the NRI (Goans) Seminar held on November 6, 2007 as a part of your visit to Kuwait in order to evaluate the issues related to the NRIs, we are pleased to forward a memorandum various issues raised by those affected:- 1- Indian Degrees (Graduation) conferred on successful students by Indian Universities not recognized Internationally to avail full benefits. The system of Education in India requires 10 + 2 + 3 to complete the Degree in any of the faculties in India (Science/Arts/Commerce etc.). As per the International criteria a student complete four years of graduation course to obtain a Degree. As a result of this anomaly students holding Indian graduation Degrees are unable to get full benefits of their educational qualifications due to non recognition of International Educational requirements. Therefore it is pertinent to find ways and means to be match the International standards. 2- Goa University Degrees in Engineering: The matter of recognition of Goa University Degrees in Engineering are still not being recognized by Kuwait Society of Engineers as of date. Although it was explained to the ordiance present at the seminar that two weeks ago India had become a member of Washington Accord as a result of which all Engineering Degrees would be automatically accredited by Society of Engineers worldwide. There is no change in the status of recognition. 3- Attestation of Degrees and other documents in Goa:- Please advise who is the authority in Goa who is empowered to attest the Educational Degrees and such other related documents, including Driving License, so as to guide those in need of such information. 4- ECNR requirements for Domestic and Unskilled Workers:- At present we have a problem in the Middle East where even though Indians found employment, job contracts, residence permit etc after having arrived at their destination through official means. We are unable to understand why the Indian Missions abroad refuses to process the applications for ECNR for subsequent visits before the completion of three years continuous stay in that country. Why should a national be penalized despite having left the country without any hassles and having all the requirements in hand.This situation should be taken up with the concerned authorities so as to ease the burden of such destitute persons. 5- Registration of Births in India of Children born in Kuwait/Middle East:- Those NRI Goans who want to register the Birth of their children in Goa are not entertained by the concerned authorities. The reasons for this are not explained either. The registration process may be simplified and advised so that we can guide the Community with the formalities to be complied. 6- Non availability of Birth records in Goa:- Whenever NRI Goans need their Birth records and the Registrar of Births is approached they are unable to trace the records due to improper maintenance of such important records. Since these records are of vital importance please look into this matter to find a suitable solution. 7- Protection of the properties of NRIs affected by the Tenancy Laws:- What are the relief benefits for NRI Goans whose properties are subject to Tenancy Laws and what are the ways and means that are available for protection of their ownership Rights. Many of the NRIs here are eager to know how to protect their ownership Rights against Agricultural Tenancy, Residential Tenancy, occupation of Evacuee Properties/Houses, Commercial (Shops/offices) Tenancy/Lease, etc. The proposed Bill/Law, for Summary Trial of cases, is a welcome proposal, but how is it going to afford relief to those NRI’s whose properties are held under the Protection from Eviction of Tenants, Evacuees, Leases, etc. It is requested to provide the provisions under which NRIs can seek protection of their Rights in each of the said cases. 8- Domicile waiver:- Students who pursue their studies in Goa after passing out STD X in the Middle Eastern countries, do not fulfill the Domicile requirement which is of five years thereby disqualifying them from seeking admission in professional courses (Medical/Engineering/ITI etc.). Therefore, it would be in the interest of NRI Goans to waive or lower it to a maximum of two years. 9- Insurance Scheme:- NRI Goans of low income bracket

The unique Goan tradition of displaying the effigies of the demon Narkasur on the Diwali eve and burning the same at dawn next day was however affected by the incessant rains which began in the afternoon. Earlier in the day, the people thronged the market as well as shops around the city buying gift items, sweets and cloths for the festival.

The rains dampened the spirit of the people ahead of burning of effigies of Narkasur and Diwali celebrations. Prior to the rains, lightning and thunder, darkness prevailed in most part of the state prompting last-minute buyers among the people to return to their homes to escape being caught in the rains. The rainfall was around 1.5 inches. The Chief Secretary, Mr J P Singh informed ‘The Navhind Times’ that there were no reports of any damage and that he was waiting for reports from the collectors. He said that power supply has been disrupted due to thunderstorm. The collector of North Goa district, Mr Swapnil Naik said that there were reports of tree uprooting and falling of trees on power lines etc. He also said that no report of damage to any property or life has been received so far, adding that waterlogging near the bus stand caused traffic jam. The chief electrical engineer, Mr Nirmal Braganza informed that lightning was the cause of conductors snapping at various places. He said that power supply to Panaji would be partly restored from Ponda station in due course of time. The electricity department chief further said that restoration of power

Gomes has every right to make such statements. I fully support his views. Why do you think you have the right and Fr. Gomes has none? These 40 thieves have no right to drag Goans in the name of so called GDA (Goondas Donkeys and Assholes). They were not elected by people of Goa under GDA and as such they should first resign and stand for election later. In view of these musical chairs played by these shameless, characterless, inhuman, deceitful not even worth to call donkeys, I fully support President's rule at least for next 25-50 years, till this present politicians go and get lost in hell. I sincerely hope and pray the God give wisdom to our Governor to invoke President's rule.

Hi Fred, I believe God is a Goan. Its just a belief. Mahesh Vengurlekar was gheraoed by his students in Goa and asked to resign. That's not the case with me at Florida Tech where I have just won the Best Faculty Award as well as the ourstanding course award from the American Society of Engineering for my course in Engineerng Entrepreneurship. There is a difference and I am eagerly looking forward to spending my sabbatical at Padre Conceicao College of Engineering of Goa University !

SGF is a regional party and has formed only due to internal fights conflicts between SGF chief and some congressman. while on other hand BJP is National party and has spread its roots in entire nation. SGF itself is a 2 (or may be 3 in future) member party in Goa assembly which has got no clear agenda and i doubt whether it will survive next 5 years as a party( coz chances of merging it with other party are very high). Anyways parties are just the tools for contesting elections, and for that matter elections can be contested independently and won, take the example of 2 independent MLA's who won in recent elections with a good margin. Now giving good governance depends on person, and Parrikar is the lone person who can do so atleast in Goa. Changing parties doesn't change the attitude and behaviour of the person, coz moserrate, madkaikar, dhavalikar, kamat have changed their parties and from those some have changes parties like clothes, every elections, but that hasn't changed them, they are still the same person with same attitude(some dont even have that). Even If Mr. Parrikar joins any other party, his way of working the govt. will remain same, he's capable leader and handles the situation much better then anyone else in 40 member house. But the question in such situation will be, whether the other MLA's in that other particular party will support Mr. Parrikar in his good givings to Goa or not. The party in which Mr. Parrikar is, is the most stable party among all parties in Goa with no internal conflicts like Congress. Taking that into account Parrikar can serve Goa well rather than joining other parties. And lastly it will also take some time for Mr.Parrikar to settle down if incase he joins other party, to get familiar with those circumstances and with the nature of their MLA's. Lastly, if you aware, just have a walk to Mr. Parrikar's constituency and see. You'll see more Goans in his constituency then other Urban cities in Goa..example. Vasco, Margao, Ponda which are highly populated with Non-Goans. And for that matter non-BJP constituencies are the one which are mostly crowded with Non-Goans. -- Confidentiality Notice : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential to the addressee and may also be privileged.

--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- Dear Friends, We write this letter to request you to sign a petition to the Governor of Gujarat condemning the recent events at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. A group of people with affiliations to Hindu supremacist groups barged into the Fine Arts campus, disrupted the examination and abused and threatened students and faculty members. A student was arrested for offending religious sentiments, and the Dean of the Faculty was suspended. Such attempts to stifle by force the rights to free speech and expression of individuals, and to impose on society in general the narrow perceptions of certain sections regarding what is permissible and what is not, constitute a serious threat to political, intellectual, and artistic freedoms in India. These attacks are especially worrisome since it points to a nexus between members of the Hindu nationalist BJP, who carried out the attack, the police, and the top levels of the University administration including its Vice Chancellor Manoj Soni. The petition is available at http://www.petitiononline.com/MSUAUTO/ The details of the incident are as follows. On 9th May 2007, students of the Fine Arts Faculty had put up their installations around the Faculty campus as part of their annual internal examination/display. The Fine Arts Faculty is one of the best-known institutions within the M. S. University. The Faculty has also nurtured many renowned artists and it is here that the famous Baroda School of Art developed. That afternoon, Vadodara-based BJP leader Niraj Jain (accused for the 2002 Gujarat carnage by Concerned Citizens Tribunal - Gujarat), stormed into the Faculty premises, accompanied by local police and some accomplices. They manhandled Chandramohan, a final year MA student (and recipient of the Gujarat Lalit Kala Academy Award, 2005-06) who had put up some graphic prints. They accused him of offending their religious sentiments, saying that he had portrayed the goddess Durga in an obscene way. Dr. Shivji Panikkar, the Dean in charge, was also threatened with dire consequences by Niraj Jain and his cohorts. Subsequently, Chandramohan was arrested and charged under sections 153A, 114, and 295 of the Indian Penal Code for promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race etc, committing acts prejudicial to the harmony of the public. His examination works which had been put up only for the sole purpose of the final examinationwere apparently offensive to public religious sentiments. Since no citizen can be charged with Section 153 without the sanction of the State or Central government, and since in this case no sanction was sought, this was in effect an illegal detention. The police also refused to register a complaint against Niraj Jain when students, teachers and other organizations like PUCL approached them. On May 10, at Chandramohan's bail hearing, alongwith the VHP and BJP crowds, at least 40 priests from the Methodist Church had also joined the cacophony of voices against Chandra Mohan. In the meantime, the University authorities not only refused to support the students and the staff but insisted that Professor Shivaji Panikkar, Dean in charge of the Faculty (as well as author and editor of Saptamatrka Worship and Sculptures, 1997; Twentieth-Century Indian Sculpture, 2002; Towards a New Art History: Studies in Indian Art, 2003 among others), apologize to the BJP. On the next day, May 11, the students and staff, denied any other form of protest, put up an exhibition focusing on the long history of erotic imagery in both Indian and Western art. In response, the Deputy Registrar issued a verbal request, followed by a written order, that the exhibition be closed down. Dr. Panikkar refused to comply as it was a decision by the students and this was their way of lodging a peaceful protest. Later in the day, the Pro Vice Chancellor, along with some members of the Syndicate arrived at the Faculty and locked up the exhibition. The same night, at 10 p.m. a suspension order was pasted on the door of Dr. Panikkar's residence. He has been suspended for three months, not only from Deanship, but also as the Head of the Art History Department. No reasons were given for the suspension. Chandra Mohan was released on 14th May 2007. The suspension order against Dr. Panikkar continues, and fearing attacks and arrest, he has been forced to go underground. Over the last few days, art historians, critics, activists, artists and art lovers have launched a nation-wide protest against the Gujarat government's latest act of fascism. On 14 th May 2007, over 1000 artists from all over the country gathered at the

Hi Helga, I completely agree with what you said. There are very few resident Goan males on this forum so the absence of women from Goa is hardly surprising. Among the expatriate women, I hope the situation is not as glum as you paint it to be. Especially since Goan girls back home in Goa regularly out perform the boys in academics and are now fast catching up in the professional fields. What Aristo said about fish cutlets(h) however is partly true. Most girls in Goa(and many in the rest of India) are now proud that they don't know to cook I guess because cooking has long been symbolic of gender discrimination. I foresaw this situation a while ago, but never left home for long enough to take corrective action. When I spent months outside Goa, it was usually on company expense so it really didn't matter. However, when the time came to depart to London I spent weeks with every member of the family learning to cook everything I liked. Instead of being condemned to a life of fast food and microwave meals I am now able to cook Goan and Indian food myself(including fish cutlets!). This was unheard of a generation ago. Even more amazing is that many friends of mine(Aristo not included!) have realised the fact that if you want to eat good food in the future you are going to have to cook it yourself, infact your wife will demand it:)). Many have taken cookery courses from professionals for which they have suffered alot of ridicule from other boys(boys will be boys!). However they say he who laughs last While Aristo has to be content with Sambar Thalis, Chinese Fast Food and McDonalds in Bangalore(until he gets married, he thinks), I am going to enjoy a dinner of Mutton Xacuti tonight or maybe a Pork Vindalho. Regards Sunith Helga wrote: Just to clear matters Aristo I don't think Goan women living in Goa spend their time making pattice or cutlecy which is what Selma said - seriously or in jest I don't know. I am very impressed at the daughters of my friends who take posts overseas, work for big name companies and are very self assured. At the NIO where I spent two weeks there were women everywhere (apparently they cant find any guys to do fieldwork!!) and they are working toward their doctorates in very interesting fields like paleoclimate, molecular biology and biotechnology. -- Sunith D Velho [EMAIL PROTECTED] Goanet supports BMX, the alumni network of Britto's, St Mary's and Xavier's -- three prominent institutions in Mapusa, Goa.

Throw in his penchant for his kasti and we have not just a contest for first place in education but a pending patent for the thong. I was wondering where my strong response came from and I think it comes from the fact that my brother is American, having studied in a US college and is no lesser a person than any counterpart in India. Add to that my daughter is American, not to mention a handful of nieces and nephews. Which begs the bigger question, who are NRI Goans and where do our loyalties lie? Perhaps we've reached a point in our cultural evolution, where we have parallel identities and dual loyalties. Perhaps this is a good think for humankind, provided it doesn't lead to too much dysfunction.

Dear Edwin (dropping the formalities in true Goanet fashion), Thanks for replying. Goa Sudharop is not about leadership but about cooperative effort. We support various projects in education, safety, environment etc. that our team in Goa recommends to us. We advertise the projects or needs and then raise money as best we can from generous donors here. In this way, we are trying to build cooperation and support for a better Goa. No private organization can hope to solve such a big societal problem as slums. The primary cause of slums is poverty and lack of public policy solutions for job and housing needs of the poor in India. When poor people do move to places where there might be employment, neither their employers or local authorities do anything to provide them with housing, services, and infrastructure. In order to remove slums, you would have to remove poverty through large-scale public programs.

Have you heard of corruption, influence and free for all high handedness of government that exists in Goa and India as a whole. What one learns in the class room and how we as people put into practice are in India are two separate issues and its people have now fallen to the pits of 'if you can't beat them then join them'. You are a criminal lawyer and must surely be good and won't doubt your work ethics. Tell me Jos are you able to understand how these politicians are able to get away with amassing wealth that is over and above their known source of income or have they been constitutionally exempted from criminal proceedings for such acts. Do you think the politicians are doing us a favour governing us that gives them the right to steal? Have you heard of lawyers play with their opponents to extend their pay cheque or should I say double dipping. I wonder why cases continue to pile up in courts. You know what Jos you are a human being too and faced with such predicament you too would join hands with such people and take matters in their own hands. But you and I are not in that situation so you and I can not understand the plight of such acts.

Goanetters visiting Viva Goa 2006 in Toronto, Canada on July 29, can use the BMX booth as a meeting point. Please list your name on the message board that will be provided, courtesy of BMX. http://bmxgoa.com Remo inspires Vascokars for a clean and green environment The presence of international pop star Remo in Vasco to release the theme music video as part of the campaign Vasco lets go green aimed at a clean and green environment made a great impact on the citizens who were present in large numbers. Remo earlier planted a tree sapling at the Municipal square in the presence of the Chief Officer Elvis Gomes, Chairperson of MMC Shri Sharad Chopdekar, Shri Sanjay Shetye of Vinsan Graphics production and several councilors and citizens. The Municipal Square was packed with citizens and school children who were awaiting the arrival of the pop star to their city after a gap of almost two decades for a public function. The formal function for the launch of the music video was held at the Vidyadhiraj Math Hall opposite State Bank of India. The hall was packed with citizens from all walks of life and a good number of school students much before the arrival of the Chief Guest. After the end of the function school students and citizens were seen clamouring to obtain autographs of the pop star. He obliged them all patiently and later also was kind enough to pose for photographs with several of his fans in-groups and individually. Addressing the packed gathering Remo complimented the MMC for the unique campaign undertaken with the help of a professional agency Vinsan Graphics production for a clean and green environment in the Port city. He was however visibly annoyed at the presence of only 4 councilors at the tree-planting venue when the total strength of the MMC is 20 councilors. He minced no words in his lively address to express his displeasure openly on this attitude displayed by the elected ward members. The jam packed audience responded enthusiastically to his address. To save the day for the Councilors, the position was however later clarified by the compere Dyannesh Moghe of Vinsan Graphics Production, on the request of the Chairperson that there were around 15 councilors present in the hall attending the function. While thanking the organisers for inviting him to launch the music video he said though his professional commitments keeps him on a tight schedule and has no spare time to be part of any committees, he however assured his full support to the MMC Vasco for any such public cause. He was happy to see the presence of a large number of students who attended the function together with the citizens of Vasco showing their concern for a green environment. Dr. Manoj Borkar, Founder and Chairman of he Goa Biodiversity Research Centre presided over the function and in his addressed called upon the citizens to generate less waste, which will control the garbage problem. He observed that an ordinary citizen can do extraordinary things with respect to the preservation and protection of the environment. Fr. Jose Antonio DCosta parish priest St. Andrews parish was a special invitee and addressed the gathering. The music video a jingle of 3 minutes duration is shot by State Award winning Film director (konkani film Kanteantlem Ful) Dyanesh Moghe with music score by Dr. Vijayan Almeida. The jingle features some prominent citizens of Vasco besides the two seating MLAs as well as few former Chairpersons of the MMC. It will be telecast on the local news video channels to give the campaign a boost and to solicit public support for the campaign. Vasco lets go green is an ambitious campaign set up by the MMC for a green and clean environment in the jurisdiction of the MMC. This concept is the brain child of the dynamic Chief Officer Shri Elvis Gomes, who with his grit and determination has set up a task to bring about a positive change to the city which is plagued with the problem of air pollution and depleting green cover. Speaking to this writer, he expressed his happiness that the first phase of the campaign has been successful in generating tremendous awareness. The awareness he said has percolated down among the citizens and specially the student community and he is confident that at the end of the 6 month period, it will change the mindset and attitude of the citizens. This he said will bring in the desired change in the human behaviour. For the first time the MMC has engaged the services of a professional advertisement agency to undertake the campaign systematically spreading over a period 6 months. The professional agency has successfully completed the first phase of the campaign which started on 5th June 2006 (World Environment day). With launching of the music

In response to the calls/requests on the subject incident, a delegation visited Mr. R. K. Dewat, Manager - Indian Airlines, to voice the woes of the Goan Community. Mr. Dewat gave a sympathetic ear to the issue besides other issues regarding the baggage and service in the air. Mr. Dewat explained as follows:- 1- At the very onset he tendered sincere apologies on behalf of Indian Airlines wherein he has put in over 30 years of service and has been always considerate to the welfare of the passengers (pax) throughout his career. It was pointed out that the stray incidents that occurred were beyond the control of the ground staff. Due to inclement weather conditions at that point in time, and due to operational reasons and safety of the pax, the Air Command requested for extra fuel to be loaded on the aircraft. This resulted in last moment restrictions on baggage and / or pax off-load. The Airlines, in such circumstances, usually off-load cargo or baggage but do not deny passengers their right to travel on that flight as it would put them and their families to a lot of inconvenience and anxiety. It was brought to his notice that such incidents also occurred in the past. He has assured that, in the future, all such incidents will be avoided at all costs now that they have more aircrafts at their disposal. 2- With regards to inflight service, he promised to take up the matter with the appropriate authorities and assured improvement in the near future. 3- With regards to the flight schedule, he informed that it is his active consideration to introduce a third flight on a convenient day and time. 4- With regards to the baggage allowance it has been explained that they are forced to restrict the baggage when the pax load is high and that during lean season they are lenient with the baggage allowing the pax to take in excess. He stated that the Airport staff has been given the instructions to be lenient to the destitute Pax. 5- As regards fares too, it is not that the fares have gone up but due to the unprecedented rise in oil prices, the taxes have increases as is the case with all Airlines. 6- Attention was drawn to the free shipment of human remains on humanitarian grounds. Mr. Dewat assured his full support and cooperation at all times and requested to bear with him on the incidents that occurred which were beyond his control.
