[Goanet] State mourning for what?
[Goanet] State mourning for what? Poinginni/Canacona school went ahead with it’s school pre-planed event and the pople including the parents made a big issue out of it. http://oheraldo.in/news/Local%20News/Loliem-school-holds-cultural-event-on-a-day-of-mourning/40371.html People seems objecting everything or everyone now a days. I personally feel there was nothing wrong in going ahead with the school event which was planned well in advance. KENDA SUDORTOLO AMCHO LOK? Holiday is given to mark a respect to a departed soul State mourning does mean that the people should stay indoors and mourn the whole day Looks like everyone or everything is given a political twist now a day. People should at least leave Schools and institutions etc out of it. Inox, which otherwise play National Anthem at the beginning of each show, where all people stand up, was not closed on the day though Misfiring of Rifles during the guard of honour ceremony for the departed soul of Ravindra Kelekar.. That’s really embarrassing. Will there be any enquiry or protest against it? I don’t think so. http://oheraldo.in/news/Local%20News/Rifles-lsquo-misfire-rsquo-during-guard-of-honour/40355.html As for Sorter’s remark on Late Dr. Jack de Sequeira death/holiday makes a valid point though. Bakibab Borcar, TB Cunha, Menezes Braganza etc were also great men. Quote: One and half day's state mourning, for what? This is the question asked by commoners on the streets of Panjim. Who is this man Ravindra Kelekar? May have a a list of awards and writings to his credit in hindi, devnagiri konkni and marathi, so what? Awards confered in India do not necessarily make a man great. We know all the controversy about awards in this country and all the boot licking and what not that goes on to become eligible. Was a holiday declared after the demise of Dr. Jack Sequeira, why not? The Gandhian tag is being attached to Ravindra Kelekar, but what was his Gandhian contribution on the front of social reconstruction in Goa and promotion of Gandhian values. What was his contribution to resolve the raging conflicts in Goa? Did he raise his voice against the injustices perpetrated on the people of Goa? Was every section comfortable with Ravindra Kelekar? Is he so great as D.D. Kosambi or Shenoy Goembab or B.B. Borkar? These are questions that need to be asked. We also join in paying our respects to Ravindrabab as a literary person and definitely pray that eternal rest be granted for his soul. -Soter joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Goa-launch of the well-received *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho on Aug 29, 2010 (Sunday) at 11 am at Ravindra Bhavan, Margao.

Shiissh! Soter, Not so loud and clear. Lest you may be considered un-Goan. The 1-1/2 day holiday because he was a CANGRESSMAN.

[Goanet] State mourning for what?
Soter is smack on. Good questions. Could this have been perhaps been a pretext for the Goa Govt. internally celebrating one stage towards a plausible demise--accelerated erosion of Konkani. Remember dear Vidhwans---demise in the case of a language such as Konkani does not mean death. Consider the word before it--plausible, before going ballistic. venantius j pinto Message: 6 Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 07:46:49 +0530 From: soter so...@bsnl.in To: goa...@goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] State mourning for what?
