This has drawn strong reactions from the Bajrang Dal leader Pramod Mutalik who has vowed to retaliate by swarming the island with its volunteers.

He may score a moral victory but it would not change the unpalatable ground realities. He needs to think like a statesman, swallow the very bitter pill of Goan realpolitik and be prepared to sit in the opposition with dignity.

[Goanet]'If God came to Goa He'd have to sleep by the pool'
From Gomantak Times, Goa, 30th December 2004 'If God came to Goa He'd have to sleep by the pool' Team GT PANAJI: Even as Thailand and Sri Lanka reel under the enormity of the tragedy that has befallen them, European travel companies, having already committed to clients, are desperate to recover from the disaster with as little losses as possible. The answer, they feel, lies in Goa because it offers sunny, pal-fringed, beaches and atmosphere, which is on par with both Thailand and Sri Lanka. Moreover, Goa escaped the disastrous effects of the Tsunami and is considered a safe destination. However, despite repeated requests, the state is unable to absorb the few thousand tourists who would be diverted to Goa if the operators had their way. As Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG) president Charles Bonifacio put it, We do not have the capacity to handle the existing in-flows. We have been receiving 3,000 more passengers per week as compared to the last season but there hasn 't been a proportionate increase in rooms. Vinay Albuquerque of the Victor Alcon Group says, The demand was already huge and is only getting bigger. If you think November and December were bad, January onwards will be worse considering that Phuket and Colombo are out of bounds. We ourselves have had a high materialization rate. All the thumb-rules that we have followed for years have been shattered. Even if God comes to Goa on a holiday He would have to sleep by the poolside. There has been a phenomenal increase that we are finding difficult to cope with. Bonifacio adds: The Belgian and Dutch charter tourists used to spend five days in either Sri Lanka or Thailand and then head to Goa. Now that they cannot go to those countries they want to spend their entire holidays in Goa but we just cannot absorb them. There are five extra Russian charters that are coming in only for the New Year celebrations. We have tried asking the companies to issue stop-sales but they don't agree. We have even asked newer properties to take in charter tourists but we still do not have enough space. According to Bonifacio the trend will continue for some time and he says that even room have been sold out for the 2005-2006 season. According to Albuquerque, Goa will need at least another 300 rooms as a stopgap arrangement to deal with the current rush. However it will be difficult and though the Central Government is offering low-interest loans for budget hotels, infrastructure development will be some months away, during which time Goa could lose out on the demand. Ernest Dias of SITA MICE, which has put up 10 tents at the Radisson White Sands Resort, says it is too soon to say how the disaster could affect Goa. He, however, is grateful that Goa got by unscathed, It is fortunate that Goa did not fall victim to the disaster. It would have been catastrophic. (Reuven Proenca [EMAIL PROTECTED])

(Joel D'Souza) EXCEPT BJP: All political parties in the state, barring the BJP, raised objections either regarding the contents of the film on Goa's freedom struggle or the attempt to show it to school children. Governor SC Jamir had convened an all-party meeting at Raj Bhavan to find a solution to the controversy kicked off by the film. The leaders of the political parties expressed their views and most of them wanted the government to withdraw the VCD from circulation. (GT) PORTUGUESE GLORIFIED TRAITORS, SAYS SHIRODKAR: Prakashchandra Pandurang Shirodkar, former Director of Archives and a noted historian says, Conversions undertaken by missionaries are a part of Goan history. This is a fact which cannot be denied. Elaborating further, Shirodkar refers to the Cuncolim episode where some villagers were brutally slain by the Portuguese. The Hindus had killed the missionaries in protest against their blatant efforts to convert a majority of Hindus in Cuncolim. The Portuguese later branded these very missionaries as martyrs. Not stopping at this, the Portuguese later summoned the Cuncolim villagers to their headquarters and killed them treacherously. In our eyes, these villagers are martyrs as they had to pay for their life at the hands of the Portuguese.

(H) A DATE WITH HISTORY AT GANDAULIM: Croatian film director Branko Invanda, whose film The Horseman has been well received at IFFI 2004, had made a resolve to see the Sao Braz church when he left home with his wife last month. Accompanied by the heroine Zrinka Cvitesic and her boy friend, Igor Beketic, the foursome took time off from their engagement at the Festival to travel to the sleepy hamlet of Gandaulim with a population of only 200, barely 3 kms away from Old Goa.A Croatian scholar, Zorayka Matisic, had made a startling find - while studying Sanskrit in India - that her countrymen had links with the Portuguese and had constructed the Svete Vlaho (Sao Braz or St Blaise) church in Gandaulim. (Paul Fernandes and Alister Miranda) THE PEDESTRIAN VIEW: Take Benaulim Beach Road, where the many pedestrians now feel increasingly uncomfortable walking within centimeters of fast moving vehicles. Some tourists are actually planning to move away for the Christmas period - the reverse of what used to happen.

(Paul Mitchell, Benaulim, in a letter to the editor, Herald) WOMAN SUFFERS BURN INJURIES: A 19-year-old married woman, Zarina Khan, suffered 90 per cent burn injuries on December 5.

The hike in cashew nut prices is primarily due to the low yield of the crop this season, which in turn was caused by early rains this year. The arrival of monsoon in mid-May affected 15 to 20 per cent of the cashew crop. Average quality cashew nuts are available for Rs.270-300 per kg currently as compared to last year's price of Rs.200 to Rs.240 per kg.

Like a very senior son-of-the-soil remarked, Why not an international music festival in Goa? This is a familiar territory for Goa. Why not promote Goa as a cross-cultural destination for world class music, since music runs in the veins of every Goan and every child is an aspiring musician or artist.
