[Goanet]Mega Konkani Programme - Konkan Daiz Yatra
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Mega Konkani Programme - Konkan Daiz Yatra Konkani is a multi-religious, multi-caste and multi-dialectal character language represented by as many as three religious groups namely Hindus, Muslims and Christians consisting of TWENTY major castes and several sub-castes and sects. Each sect speaks Konkani with its own different dialect. Hence the Konkani culture is very rich with so many ethnic differences who are spread over the coastal coast from Gujarat from the north to Kerala to the south. The oldest Konkani organization Konkani Bhasha Mandal Mumbai (R) which was started in the year 1939 by Konkani stalwarts like Shenoi Goem-bab, Bakibab Borkar, Prof. Armando Menezes, Dr. Sumitra Mangesh Katre is in its heels to prepare for a mega show to unite Konkanis under one roof. This great show is named as Konkan Daiz Yatra in order to prepare for a pilgrimage that will pull together the rich Konkani treasure and makes an eye opener to every Konkani individual who is diverted from his roots with the forgetfulness of greatness that is within his mother tongue Konkani. Mr. P. N. Shanbhag the president and Mr. J. B. Moraes the secretary with their strong Konkani Bhasha Mandal team are working day and night to make this event to be represented by all ethnic group of Konkani people on be half of 12th Konkani Recognition day. Thus the organising committee has been formed for the programme with the award winning reputed businessman Mr. Albert W. D'Souza of Printannia fame the president and Mrs. Grace Pinto of Rayan International, Mr. John D'Silva, Mr. S. D. Nayak, Mr. S. A. Shanbhag, Mr. P. M. Shenoy and Mr. Ratnakar Gokarn being the vice presindents.

[Goanet]Goans in East Africa
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Hi Gilbert,Helga, Vivian, Cornel n Mervyn ! I am glad that my article generated some interest in a subject not very much covered in your forums-probably overlooked. Thanx very much for the compliments. As I stated in my conclusion that I wrote it from the top of head- hence room for for corrections , oversights and clarifications. And all this information was collected before I arrived in the U.S. on April 11,1984; hence I must express my ignorance for anything that transpired after that. And to Vivian and Rene who forwarded it in time for the Tanzanite dance in Toronto, I say asante sana (Thank You in Swahili). My wife-Edna and myself were supposed to attend the dance, but other issues changed our plans. It's 10:30 p.m. and I am certain Merwyn is swinging away - apparently for the first time as a married man. Correct me if I am wrong,Merwyn or was the pix a gimmick. I over looked two very important people- and Merwyn -thanx for drawing my attention. Caetano (Cajetan in English) Martins- a goan was the Portuguese Consul in Tanganyika. All the other three Consuls in Zanzibar, Nairobi and Kampala and the Vice- Consul in Mombasa were goans in the fifties just before the four countries gained independence from Britain. (All Esat African countries broke diplomatic relations with Portugal after they attained independence). Caetano's wife is the daughter of Kampala's late Norman Godinho,Snr.- East Africa's richest goan who is believed to have owned a large chunk of land in Kampala. Norman's other daughter was the first woman Resident Magistrate in East Africa. I believe, she married Shafiq Arain- the only Indian to be a member in a Uganda Cabinet of Minsiters- mainly under Obote's government. (All Resident Magistrates in East Africa before independence were British , and invariably men). Kenya had an Asian Deputy Minister, but Tanzania had two Asian Ministers- both Khoja Ismailis. As for Dr. Adolfo Mascarenhas- he was the only fully fledged Professor of the University of Dar es Salaam when I left. Merwyn could enlighten me if there were other appointments- possibly his wife who I believe snaked her way very well up the ladder after heading the University's library. I am not certain of the surgeon- Primo Carneiro. Goans in Tanzania had also their fair share in sports having had several representtatives on the national field hockey team and two in cricket. Four goans -including two brothers represented the States ( called regions in Tanzania) in soccer (football) and a couple of goans won national chmapionships in badminton and table-tennis (ping-pong). One of them - Mrs Martha Dias from Tanga won the national badminton championship at age 47 as a grand-mother. After she moved to Toronto she continued playing badminton till the age of 69. The top bands -besides those playing in the white night clubs were mainly goans in the major towns. Even in my home town of Iringa which had about 13 families , we had a small goan band. And to Helga, I branded the Africanisation policy in the railways and in other areas as racist, because it was not like affirmative acction in this country, but literally taking revenge at the British at the cost of the Asians who developed the Railways and government infrastructure. I believe that there should have been a redressing situation with a smooth transition, as opposed to random replacements by inexperienced people under the pretext that they were trained on on short courses in Britain. The Railways were flooded with Asians many of whom rose to the top through years of experience and passing several exams including written Swahili which has a very difficult grammar. So when the British left after independence, the Asians slipped in to replace them- thus aggravating the situation. My father who was the Town Treasurer was a very glaring example. Discriminated by the British after his boss committed suicide, rather than promoting him, they brought in a retired Brigadier from the Brish army. This was after Iringa was voted the top Town Council in the country, and after he was one of four people out of 400 to have passed a National Civil Service exam. (Two of the other three were goans and the fourth was a Nair). And after independence, when the Brigadier retired , they replaced him with a young local man who was trained for nine months in Britain. My father's 40 years of experience and the fact that he took Tanzanian nationality was never considered. I believe my father should have been appointed the Head of the Township and had a local understudy him. And since , Helga you were born in

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Resort report: Goa Alexandra Ferguson offers advice on where to stay and what to do in India's most popular spot for winter breaks. (Filed: 09/10/2004) The resorts Practicalities Rickshaws jostle with oxen in the narrow streets behind the bazaar, tribal women peddle saris and exotic spices and, on the palm-fringed beach, the reedy cry of an oboe drifts on the breeze. Clear blue skies: guaranteed sunshine makes Goa a popular winter sun destination The aromas, the colour, the chaos. Yes, this is India, but India with a difference. Whitewashed chapels peek through the forest canopy, and beautiful girls with almond eyes are called Rosalina and Josefa. The Portuguese might have left in 1961, but their influence lingers. Once the preserve of the hippie, Goa is now firmly on the package tourist trail. Guaranteed sunshine, modern resort hotels and value for money make it a popular winter destination. Development has spawned the usual theme bars and souvenir shops, but it is still possible to find deserted beaches and eat fresh fish at simple beach shacks. The resorts Hotel prices quoted are the lowest available, per night, for a double room in peak season (November to March). NORTH GOA Goa's oldest resorts - Calangute and Baga, established in the early 1990s - offer good food, nightlife and British company. Anjuna and Vagator, home of the Goa Trance music scene, are popular with backpackers. Farther north the beaches empty and the tourist infrastructure disappears. Fort Aguada and Candolim A lighthouse and 17th-century fort dominate the headland above Sinquerim Beach, which runs between the two resorts. This pleasant crescent of sand is shared by a Taj hotel complex, beach shacks and water sports operators. Candolim - a broad, straight beach backed by dunes and palms - is never crowded, despite the shacks dotted along it. Behind the beach, restaurants and upmarket emporia line the main street. It is more sedate than Calangute and Baga. Where to stay Taj Holiday Village (0091 832 2479123, www.tajhotels.com), a complex of luxurious villas in landscaped gardens overlooking Sinquerim Beach, has doubles from £74. The Marbella Guest House (0091 832 2479551) is a delightful old villa 10 minutes' walk from Sinquerim Beach; doubles from £14. Sonesta Inns (0091 832 2279448, www.sonestainns.com) - a lovely package hotel with friendly staff, right on the beach - offers doubles from £26. Where to eat After Eight (0091 832 2279757) serves good seafood and steaks, with main courses from £1.75. For exquisite Thai cuisine, try Oriental (0091 832 2275272), where main courses start at £1.40. Shopping Khazana Handicrafts Exporters (opposite Taj Holiday Village) has an interesting range of new and antique pottery, statues and furniture.

Seems to me that it has - as previously written by me, I believe this issue has come to naught. In two different posts Aires has informed us that the Police were about to Charge the priest; nothing has come to pass, now Aires is imploring the C.M. to investigate someone's suicide! It seems to me and I am sure to many other readers that this is a 'cause celebre' only thing is, that there is no case. Aires is doing himself and Goans no good by chasing this lost cause. Instead he should brief us on how he is getting along with taking the C.M. for slander. In the England the burden of proof in slander cases is on the defendant - so is this is also the case in Indian Law ? if so, then Aires should have no problems at all! Further more in England it costs more than an arm and a leg to bring to Court such cases; starting from a minimum of £50,000 and easily running to a million. Aires could perhaps brief us on the Goan/Indian set up and divert from the Ribander issue which is crippling, not only Aires but the rest of us Goans, who rely on him to raise other grave issues in the state of Goa. Cheers, Gabe.

Your article brought back many happy memories of the many places I had come to know well including Mt. Kilimanjaro of course. However, as an Indian of Goan origin, I am puzzled by the distinction you make in the wording of your Subject. You call it Indians and Goans in East Africa. The imputation in that title is that you were writing about one group called Indians and another called Goans. It would be helpful if you could please clarify the seeming confusion, for me, on this point. Would you likewise be using a title, say, about Indians and the Sikhs or the Indians and the Punjabis?

Newton Rodrigues was posted as Parish Priest there.

Some questions from me. I ask because I know not the law of the land. Is it normal practice for Police Inquiries to be set up in inter-personal matters? Has the route of a Police Complaint been exhausted ? Oh Yes.and please do tell us WHEN Parrikar gets to Setting up this Police Inquiry. or Inquisition Aires further goes on to say the following the priest ... the serious charge against him of allegedly molesting a 13 year old girl This is a very serious charge. It might be true or it might be false. It could happen to any individual. I sincerely believe that there is a right way and a wrong way to go about this. Aires is a lawyer. He should know what the right routes are. Splashing names of individuals in Cyberspace - without legal recourse is NOT ( at least in my opinion ) one of them. Someone could easily get up and say/write ANYTHING FALSE about ANY among us.

The problem is most of the publications/papers are hard to find. A major source/help to her was another Goanetter, Dr. Adolfo Mascarenhas was also researching for his own publication (on Goans in Tanzania?) I also think we should mention that C.F.R.de P. Martins, a Goan, was the Portuguese Consul in Tanganyika. He would have a treasure trove of info on the period leading up to independence.

Is it a case of intellectual bankruptcy or that imitation is the highest form of flattery? I personally have reservations about the title Goan Voice for what has become a weekly publication by Eddie Fernandes in London because the word 'Voice' suggests, to me, a political stream or conduit, among other things, and clearly, in its current form, this is not so.

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Greenback driven lower on US jobs data By Steve Johnson in London Published: October 8 2004 11:39 | Last updated: October 8 2004 17:20 A quiet week for major currencies was enlivened on Friday when worries about the long-term health of the dollar and weak US jobs numbers conspired to send the greenback lower. Non-farm payrolls rose just 96,000 in September, far less than the predicted 150,000. An upward revision for the year to March 2004 of 236,000 was largely dismissed as backward looking. There is a real concern that we are nowhere near the level of job creation that we need to sustain growth of 4 per cent. We would need 200,000-250,000 jobs a month for that, said Michael Woolfolk at Bank of New York. The dollar had already been weakened by a wave of comments from Federal Reserve officials, with President Bush also getting on board. Dallas Fed president Robert McTeer warned that Over time, there is only one way for the dollar to go - lower. Just for good measure, he also talked about the theoretical possibility of a crisis precipitating rapidly rising interest rates and a rapidly depreciating dollar if and when the wider world stops funding the rapidly expanding US current account deficit. Fed governor Ben Bernanke waded in by stating that the Fed will pause in hiking rates if the US economy slows. It also emerged that President Bush spoke to Hu Jintao, his Chinese counterpart, about an eventual Chinese revaluation. Mr McTeer's long-term warning was particularly telling. The comments are very surprising, far more direct than previous comments from other Fed officials, said Derek Halpenny at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. As a result the dollar yesterday fell 0.6 per cent to $1.7930 against sterling and 1 per cent to $1.2413 against the euro, which clocked up an eight-month high against the pound of £0.6921 on rising perceptions that UK interest rates have peaked. The yen rose further still, firming 1.4 per cent to Y109.58 against the dollar, 0.5 per cent to Y136.03 to the euro and 0.8 per cent to Y196.50 against sterling. With the pressure mounting on China to let the renminbi appreciate, the logic is that other Asian nations, including Japan, will be willing to allow their currencies follow the renminbi higher. With the benchmark index of commodity prices rising to a 23-year high, commodity currencies headed gainers this week. The Aussie dollar pushed to five-month highs against the US dollar and sterling, rising 1.3 per cent to $0.7340 and 1.7 per cent to A$2.4382 respectively. The Canadian dollar extended its five-month rally, firming 0.9 per cent to C$1.2509 against the greenback, an 11-year high. Comment, by Gabe : There was a time when one Canadian dollar was worth US$ 1.06 !! will we get back there i.e. below par?
