[Goanet] Herald editorial on Goa bomb blasts

Herald, Editorial, 19 Oct 2009 Disingenuous defence Lightning doesn’t strike twice. But, in the case of the Sanatan Sanstha, apparently it does. For, it says it has ‘nothing’ to do with the bomb blast, just as it had ‘nothing’ to do with the blast last year in Thane. When activists of the Sanstha

[Goanet] Marathas are not ( or have never been ) Goans

It is not my intention to get involved in this debate other than to explain to fellow Goans what is exactly meant by the word Marathas (Marattas). The Marathi speaking areas of Western India are now known as Maharashtra and hence its people are correctly known as Maharashtrians. Like the

Re: [Goanet] Narkasur night -informal ruminations

Iggy, I think you are mixing up the issue of communalism with the anti-migrant sentiment. The Margao issue is a complex mix of communalism and possibly a group straddling Goa and Maharashtra (with its national headquarters in Goa, incidentally). To my mind, the anti-migrant chauvinism is a

Hello Vidyadhar, Your article was true to the pint as I live in Thane City barely 2kms from Gagkari Rangayatan. What needs to be noted in the context of the Margao blast is that the Sanshta Parishad is a spent force with the Mumbai police force coming down heavily on the. So also other places in
