[Goanet] Pamela's article, Looking Back, in Frontline
Just a few remarks regarding Pamela D'Mello's article Looking Back in Frontline. Goa does NOT completes 50 years of its liberation but rather enters into the 50th year. I would rather say Goa celebrates its 50 years of liberation. Pamela says that the transition of power was not easy and no one expected it to be. There was no transition of power as Goa was conquered. Yes, as Pamela states further, there were administrative problems from one type of bureaucracy to another. Pamela says Goa is at the crossroads, but I think Goa is on a straight path to progress. Pamela talks about mixed feelings about the state's growth trajectory. The debate on what is good for Goa both in terms of industry and commerce will never end. But progress needs to be controlled in order to save the natural environment that is Goa's treasure. That controlled development is not followed is a cause for concern for Goa as it moves into the next stage. Since liberation, Goa's identity has undergone change and Pamela right points out to the growing angst of disappearance of Goan identity. She says Goa has assimilated with the Indian mainstream. I doubt there is such a thing as Indian mainstream in a country divided by languages and cultures. In fact, Goa has slowly but surely integrated into the Indian nationhood. Today, the very lines of distinctiveness that separated Goa from the rest of India have been erased to a large extent by the sands of time. The socio-cultural traditions of Goans are definitely under pressure from forces outside Goa. Bollywood may have taken some toll on Goan culture, particularly among Hindu Goan youth. On the other hand, Catholic or rather Christian Goan youth have taken to Hollywood as well as music from established western singers. Very few Catholic Goan youths who are university-educated are into Konkani songs and tiatrs. Enculturation of the young into Goan arts and traditions would help in retaining the local flavor. A government advertisement says, 140 institutions have been financially helped to preserve cultural heritage of the state. The establishment of the Tiatr Academy is a good example. The battle ahead for the next 50 years is to have an all-round growth in economic, educational and cultural spheres.

[Goanet] OBIT: Mario de Miranda - His sharp wit never needed a punchline (Vivek Menezes)
His sharp wit never needed a punchline Almost until the very end, he was still in full creative flow: turning out inimitable, zesty drawings to burgeon a genuinely monumental legacy that began with a saucy can-can scene commissioned by Dosoo Karaka for The Current in 1953 By Vivek Menezes Panaji, Goa: One of India’s most influential artistic lives of the 20th century came to an end in Loutolim, Goa, on Sunday, when Mario de Miranda died in his ancestral manor at the age of 85. Almost until the very end, he was still in full creative flow: turning out inimitable, zesty drawings to burgeon a genuinely monumental legacy that began with a saucy can-can scene commissioned by Dosoo Karaka for The Current in 1953. Still in his 20s, Mario, had quickly become established as one of India’s best illustrators. His images then remained ubiquitous across the Indian media right into the 21st century. His cartoons of top-heavy secretaries, flirtatious sardarjis and bumbling bureaucrats charmed readers across India; and creations such as Miss Nimbupani and Miss Fonseca appeared on a regular basis in Femina, The Economic Times and The Illustrated Weekly of India. Some of these works also adorn iconic venues such as Panjim’s municipal market and Mumbai’s Cafe Mondegar. That very popularity was a kind of undoing, however, because Miranda’s artwork never wound up receiving the serious critical recognition it merits. Even worse, he was always extremely unjustly compensated, and like his close friend of many decades, the seminal Indian modernist Francis Newton Souza, Miranda was ripped off and exploited constantly, enduring difficult financial straits at the end of his life. But while Souza burned permanently wrathful, Miranda was the opposite. He remained extraordinarily free of bitterness or malice. This characteristic bonhomie made everyone who encountered him into a friend for life. It’s also the most evident characteristic of his artwork. A better-loved body of work will be hard to find. Until quite recently, we understood there were three clearly delineated phases to Mario de Miranda’s career. The first began at The Current, and flowered marvellously at the Times Group of publications in the 1960s. By this time, the shy, handsome Goan aristocrat had met and married Habiba Hydari from one of the noble families of Hyderabad. The young couple soon were at the centre of a cosmopolitan Bombay universe quite unlike anything that had come before. Just as his friend and long-time collaborator, Behram “Busybee” Contractor’s gentle columns came to define the gently swinging Bombay of the times, Mario’s exuberant full-page illustrations in The Illustrated Weekly—and later, The Afternoon—served it all up with a broad wink, no punchline necessary. Everyone laughed, without exception. Even years shy of my 10th birthday, I vividly recall cracking up no end to Mario’s full-page drawings of cocktail parties and dances, so delightfully chock-full of zaniness and sly observations. A major artistic development took place when Miranda started to travel abroad regularly in the 1970s, and began to build considerably more ambitious suites of work based on his foreign observations. The critic Ranjit Hoskote has written, “Mario is a master of the meticulously detailed and gorgeously proposed urbanscape.” Now freed of space constraints, deadlines and editorial interference, Miranda began to compile immensely detailed observations of Lisbon, Jerusalem, Macau, New York, Paris (and many other cities), a wonderful and unique body of Indian travel journalism that has yet to find proper understanding or recognition. It’s clear he wanted to move beyond the daily cartoon regime, but that opportunity never quite arrived. The third major phase of Miranda’s life and work deals with Goa. It is simply a fact that he produced by far the largest and most influential body of images of Goa of any artist in history. Francis Newton Souza did execute unquestionable masterpieces, but they’re trumped by the sheer ubiquity of Mario’s drawings. To Goans of my generation (I was born in 1968), it is the Miranda vision of Goa that occupies the mind’s eye when we think of any number of iconic scenes, themes, or even individuals. But what is less understood is his and Habiba’s tireless, generally thankless advocacy for the rich, complex and confluential art and culture of the state. It was a lifelong motivation. It may be hard to imagine that an artist so widely beloved, for so very long, still had something left to surprise. But this is indeed the case with Miranda, and an unseen part of his artistic legacy that has only come recently to light. These are the remarkable visual diaries that the young artist kept from 1949-1952, years he spent at home in Goa after the sudden death of his father. Mario never attended art school, but had always been a prodigious caricaturist. Now he

[Goanet] ...butterly, utterly......Eugene
Aye Eugene, Sylvester is a half Goichi, like Dom M no? Both from the katlic community of Byculla; half-n-halfone of their parents were East Indian (as in Mumbai EI). If one remembers correctly, Sylvester wrote about the old days in Byculla, the homes etc for one of the Mumbai afternoon papers (and I think mentioned his background). He did speak a few lines of Concani. It was 'cool' in 80s ad business of Mumbai to zip to Goi for a quickie of 'drinks and fish-curry' and talk about it for rest of the year!! The Book-list some time ago had a few posts mentioning Dom being Goichi! Naai-re, positively half-n-half (Dom's mother is EI). Minor matter though. Now stepping back a bit about written and spoken Ingleesh in Goilate ole Dom was a master in that department..one guards the dusty copy of Answered by Flutes. And a small note on de Miranda: he never missed a Caplin re-runs at the New Excelsior Cinema (Mumbai VT). He stood out as the few elderly folks amongst the college students slipping out of the afternoon showsalways explaining how he adored Chaplin films and he never tires of watching them over-n-over! Eugene:Dear JoeGoaUK, It is not correct that Mario was behind the Utterly Butterly Delicious Amul ad. It was created by DaCunha Associates, headed by Sylvester Da Cunha, a Goan who is an icon in India's advertising world. The Amul girl was created by Eustace Fernandes. I am not sure if he is Goan. He died last year, at age 75. --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---
[Goanet] G.E.M.S. TV CHANNEL for GOANS MANGALOREANS EASTINDIANS
Journalists, Lay associations, etc from the Goan - Mangalorean - EastIndian ( G.E.M.S.) community need to pool in resources and start a news channel dedicated to issues related to christians living especially on the west coast of India. The channel should be obviously named GEMS TV. The current lot of TV news channels i.e. NDTV, TIMESNOW, HEADLINESTODAY, CNNIBN, NEWSX, etc rarely give any coverage to issues related to Christians in India. Apart from issues related to christians other topics i.e. current affairs, corruption, land acquisition, labour problems, female foeticide/infanticide, communalism, terrorism, social issues, business, sports, gulf jobs, opinions of clergy and lay catholic groups, etc should also be covered. When people in North India or South India or Gujarat or Delhi or other parts of India hear the word Bhoomiputras of Bombay/Mumbai in their minds comes the marathi manoos. There is hardly anybody in other parts of India who know about the original bhoomiputras of bombay i.e. EastIndians ( www.bombayland.blogspot.com ) KolisThe current lot of TV news channles never disclose anything about the original bhoomiputras ( www.east-indians.com ) of bombay and how they have been reduced to a backward class status because of all their lands in bombay being grabbed by government, slumlords, landmafia, etc. Jorge Monteiro Bombay. --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---
[Goanet] 1st JANUARY - INDIAN GOVT. HOLIDAY for CHRISTIANS - HINDUS OTHERS
China does not have a significant Christian population but the Chinese govt. has realized the significance of 1st January and has declared 1st January as a National holiday long ago although there are other reasons behind china declaring 1st January as National Holiday...In India the 1st of every year is a religious day for Christians but in the last few years even the majority hindu community have started bursting crackers when the new year begins on 1st January and also party all through the night. Its time the Government of India realized the significance of the 1st day of the year and declare the 1st of every year i.e. 1st January a National Holiday...China has become a great economic power because during the last 30 years the chinese govt. followed a combination of industrial development population control measures although because the news media internet is censored and filtered by chinese govt. due to which issues related to human rights violation, pollution, female foeticide, labour exploitation, corruption, etc have been pushed under the carpet. Maharashtra govt. has a policy of accumulating revenue (stampduty, sale of govt. land, etc) from the Bombay region by giving the builders lobby not only more floor space index, more tdrs, more relaxation of crzs but whatever vacant lands which the Maharashtra govt. is in possession in the bombay region the same is being sold to the builders lobby and in the process the Maharashtra govt. is destroying the ecology environment of bombay…..In the future if there is a cloudburst or tsunami or supercyclone or Earthquake there will be a massive disaster in the bombay region…….Politicians who control the Maharashtra govt. have sold their hearts, minds, body, soul to the builders lobby and are not bothered to protect the last few bits of openspaces, mangroves, ponds, lakes, wells, forestland, saltpanlands from being taken over by the builders lobby………The Bombay Muncipal Corporation two years back decided that new buildings in the bombay region will get water connections only when the middle vaitarna water project is complete and had also said that new buildings will not get NOC if the building does not have a water harvesting system but all these rules are only on paper because the politicians who control the BMC have also sold their hearts, minds, body, soul to the builders lobby and the builders lobby are getting all types of permissions………Can anything be done to break the nexus between the builderslobby Politicians and save bombay from various disasters…….yes………the election commission should pass a law that those politicians who are directly/indirectly associatied with builderslobby those politicians who are in construction business those politicians who have their family members in construction business those politicians who have shares in any company involved in construction activity will not be allowed to contest electionsand citizen activists should demand a special law from the Indian Maharashtra Govt. for bombay to protect the last few bits of openspaces, mangroves, ponds, lakes, forestland, saltpanlands from being taken over by the builderslobby, slumlords landmafia. There are a few Lay Catholic groups in India who are agitating for these demands : 1Church Lokpal type body to check corruption within Catholic Churches in India. 2Catholic Church in India should introduce the Right to Information (RTI) for catholics so as to expose corruption at all levels in the Church. 3.Make corrupt bishops, parish priests clergy accountable and liable for punishment. 4convert all vacant church properties for setting up community centers, gardens, parish halls, sports grounds, graveyards, etc. 5...Reservation of 50% seats for catholics in Catholic Schools and other Catholic Church run institutions. 6.Catholic Missionaries, Caritas, Catholic relief services should utilize 50% of their foreign funds for the welfare upliftment of poor catholics and the other 50% for poor non-catholics at present barely 10% of the foreign funds are being utilized for the benefit of poor catholics. 7..names, designations, mobile nos, qualifications other details of the members of parish councils, church committees, finance committees, property cell committee catholic school committees should be disclosed in the parish bulletins or on the notice board and every two years the members should be changed through a voting system in the parish 8..Bishops to be appointed by lay catholic groups from the diocese and not Vatican. 9...Parish priests to be appointed by local parishioners and not the Bishop. 10..Declaration of how church funds are utilized vacant properties in possesion of church including the area ctsnos survey nos of the properties to be disclosed in parish bulletins or on notice board once in 3 months. 11...Members of Lay catholic groups should be
Re: [Goanet] Where were you when they crucified my Lord?
Let us look at the question: Where were you when they crucified my Lord? The above should be seen as an exhortation towards self-examination. The examination of ones conscience. A self examination which prepares one to respond to the question when it is encountered in ones being. The crucifixion is a two pronged metaphor: the injustices that people face, as well as those who subject others--their bodies, minds and indeed the souls to strife. Everything else follows from here. The crucifixion in the christian thought happens every time a grave injustice is done; injustices where dignity is stripped away, wills are forced, rapaciousness, and mayhem is loosed upon the weak, those with less reach. It happens daily. The conscience asks this question of the Christian every time ones core becomes aware that something egregious had come to pass, and ones place in that injustice. The core can be ignored but the question comes up--it is always asked. The conscience also asks the same question of others, and I presume on the following lines: In your being and knowing, did you not see their plight? There is an obvious, and not oblivious aspect in play here. So the question is a yardstick, a plumb line, a spirit level if you will--towards a consideration for ones fellows. My original post: We should be men and women first and subject afterwards. --Henry David Thoreau Please share this video amongst yourselves and with those who remain confused of what the Church/ a church is capable of. This is based not on what it could do, but what it has already done and continues albeit sporadically now. A forgetfulness of its mandate, often even by the simplest shepherd--the parish priest.

[Goanet] The Rogues' Gallery Revisited
To Goanet - 'Tis that time of the year. To remind Goans of the rogues who betrayed a movement. It was our last gasp, our final chance to recover Goa, or at least arrest the decay. I clearly remember the energy and promise of December 2006. But it all came to nought and worse. Goa is today done for. Yet these rogues line up to accept awards for 'saving' Goa or pretend to be eco warriors. This is also an I TOLD YOU SO moment for Soter and I. We were the first and the only people to blow the whistle and expose the charlatans masquerading as Goa's saviors. We were 110% right then, we have been 200% vindicated by the events since. These rogues have done worse damage to Goa than our dirty politicians, or all the opportunistic non-Goan leeches like Putturaju and Morad put together. For these guys took the trust and faith of Goans and then danced footsie. They had the government on the mat post Dec 18, 2006. But they played games and collaborated with the very govt they said they were fighting against. Soter and I told you then about the blue eyed doctor and the smooth talking architect. The architect feigned indignation. As for the good doctor, he fell back on the old chestnut: how dare they question my integrity, he thundered. As I wrote here once, I'll give the doctor a penny for all his integrity and he can keep the change. If my RTI applications (to over 35 panchayats) revealed something, it was that the architects - Goan and non-Goan - were playing a double game. Pretending to be 'eco-sensitive' while at the same time preserving their business interests. This situation is otherwise known as the fox guarding the henhouse. For months I posted photographs here on Goanet about illegal construction, hill cutting, depleted fields etc, and I posted data about land conversion and other related matters - not ONE activist of any standing from the GBA ever asked to see any details. Now you know why. Admin Noronha was as usual sniping from the sidelines, as is his wont. First he claimed I was exaggerating, then he blamed my zoom lens, and when these old maid tactics didn't work, he began casting aspersions on my motives, hinted about my secret Hindutva/RSS/BJP connections, and spread gossip my sources of funding. Alas, nothing worked. Tch tch tch. What we do know now is that it is Admin Noronha who has to do some explaining about sources of funding. I shall have more to say about Admin Noronha - after all, he started this, and it is a fight I am more than happy to have. And I have infinite patience and zero fear about protecting reputation, mine or anyone else's. My post - GBA's history rewrite - FAIL - on Goanet from last December deserves a replay.

I hadn't realised the true meaning of an Eulogy; although at that time I did write that one is supposed to talk about the good that the dead did, not bring up all their short commings. Now this Eulogy writer and orator gentleman and his supporters including our finest fiery lady, will proclaim that I am always harking on the past! Herewith snippets:- On early Sunday morning, he turned up and on enquiring where he was, he told me he spent the night in police cells. paid a heavy price for that traffic violation - he had to give up his love for driving and dispose of his dream car - his beloved Ford XR4. At about this time too, he gave up his legendary affinity for the amber nectar and helped others to do the same by being a volunteer for AA.

I am glad that you have begun to write in Portuguese. There is a chap in north america who wrote a certain word in Portuguese and got a mouthful from me. He is still trying to get my message translated on Google:)) BC Bernado makes an argument. He often makes an argument. -Original Message- From: Bernado Colaco In the premise of his argument he asserts: Guilherme de Curtorim was a Goan hero, RESPONSE: BC eulogies [1] Guilherme In the conclusion of his argument he asserts: others now trying to eulogise him are traitors of our land. RESPONSE: Does this make Bernado a Goan traitor aka traidor? --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

Aye Panduji, I am not sure if Sylvester's mom was Goan or East Indian, but Dom's mom was EI for sure. Both Sylvester and Dom claimed to be Goan. Take the case of tennis star Leander Paes, whose mother is Jennifer, an Anglo-Indian. The Anglos claim him as one of their own. True, they are half-entitled to it but he will remain a Goan.

[Goanet] Noise pollution in Panjim (Rewind and Replay)
To Goanet - Recently I received an email from a resident of Panjim saying that the noise from the evening cruise ships has made life miserable for him and his family. I don't know what to say. As I have often wondered here in the past - What, short of a nuclear explosion, is it going to take for the Goan to shift his ass? I have received several notices from the Goa Pollution Board. They have proof and it is in writing that the cruise operators are in violation, yet no action is ever taken. When I go and raise some hell, the noise stops for about a week and then it is back to normal. The cruise owners and the authorities are all in league. Btw, I once confronted a cruise ship owner (one of the GBA nobodies) about this issue. He claimed that his own ship never exceeded the decibel limits, but before I could question him further he bolted from the scene. Yeah, quite the savior of Goa, the guy. These are the documents I received from the Goa govt - http://www.parrikar.org/misc/Panjim-Noise-Pollution.pdf And these are my posts from earlier this year - Theatre of the Absurd - http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2011-February/205226.html Panjim's Disgrace - http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2011-February/205468.html Regards, r --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---
