[Goanet] Offtopic Article: They’re immigrants... So why are they supporting far-right parties that want to reduce immigration?
They’re immigrants to Canada. So why are they supporting far-right parties that want to reduce immigration? By Omar MoslehStar Edmonton andMelanie GreenStar Vancouver Sun., Oct. 27, 2019 https://www.thestar.com/edmonton/2019/10/27/theyre-immigrants-to-canada-so-why-are-they-supporting-populist-parties-that-want-to-reduce-immigration.html Photo: Kulbir Singh Chawla greets fellow protesters during the United We Roll convoy at Parliament Hill in February. After moving to Canada from India, Chawla experienced what he calls a political awakening. He now calls himself a Canadian nationalist and attends yellow vest rallies, where he wears a matching yellow turban. Edmonton Kulbir Singh Chawla really doesn’t like when he’s connected with a customer service representative with a foreign accent. This, despite having a accent himself. “Here in Canada, I would say don’t even employ Kulbir,” Chawla said of customer service jobs. “Because I still don’t have that Canadian way of (speaking) fully.” The most recent federal election saw a small but distinct cadre of people of colour and immigrants such as Chawla supporting and in some cases even running for far-right populist parties such as the People’s Party of Canada, the National Citizens Alliance and the Canadian Nationalist Party. All of these parties wanted to reduce immigration and scrap Canada’s official multiculturalism policy. Despite being an immigrant himself, Chawla says he supports these policies. Chawla, an industrial engineer, came to Canada from India with his wife and daughter in 1999. He currently lives in Nova Scotia and calls himself a Canadian nationalist. When he first moved here, he considered himself left-leaning, but over the past two decades, he’s experienced what he calls a political awakening. It led to him attending yellow vest rallies at the movement’s peak, where he would wear a matching yellow turban. And people would call him racist. “The left media would say this is a racist movement. And there I am with my turban. And it just breaks their narrative,” he said. He was first drawn toward the Conservatives, then toward far-right, fringe parties such as the National Citizens Alliance, which in addition to advocating for lower taxes and the abolishment of the Bank of Canada Act, wants to reduce immigration levels to about 50,000 a year. Chawla previously ran for the National Advancement Party of Canada, the NCA’s predecessor, in Calgary Midnapore in a 2017 byelection. He says some reasons his political stance shifted are political correctness and liberal “indoctrination” about issues such as white supremacy and racial profiling (the former he says doesn’t exist, the latter he believes is valid in some cases). Kulbir Singh Chawla takes part in a yellow vest rally. “It started with the yellow vest movement … It’s come up as a big, I will say wake-up movement for Canada and Canadians. It brought them together as well. So there’s a great deal of populism and nationalism going on,” Chawla said. He compares nationalism to working for a corporation; the ultimate goal should be the betterment of the company, rather than advancing one’s own personal fortune. The same goes for living in a confederation. It’s where his deep distaste for call centres that employ people with accents stems from. He said he believes it hurts Canada both economically and in terms of its national identity. In particular, he is opposed to customer service being outsourced to other countries, for economic reasons — it takes jobs out of Canada and hurts the country’s GDP. It inspired him to create a Change.org petition urging the government and corporations to “Create call centres in Canada!” But he acknowledges there’s an important cultural component as well. “When I come here, if I found my own type of people speaking on the call … then it’s no different from being in India,” he said. “We immigrants came to Canada for a whole different outlook on life. And we find it’s all changing, back to the same old Punjabi style.” For parties such as the People’s Party of Canada that were accused of harbouring racist candidates and policies, there’s an obvious benefit to having candidates and supporters of colour, says Akaash Maharaj, a former senior resident at Massey College and CEO of the Mosaic Institute, an organization that helps bring together immigrants who have come to Canada from countries affected by conflict. “There has been an effort by extreme right parties to try and play a game of blackface and brownface to inoculate themselves against accusations of racism by demonstrating that they have at least one or more members of their parties or candidates who are not white,” Maharaj said. But the allure of anti-immigration policies for immigrants themselves is more complex. “On the face of it, it looks absurd and I think it is absurd ... I wouldn’t say it’s widespread,” Maharaj said.
[Goanet] Beyond the Grave: By Thy Fruit You Shall Know Them!
Beyond the Grave Looking back at: By Thy Fruit You Shall Know Them! For the week which passed (17/7/21-14) when I was alive on Planet Earth. Maybe in the 21 century we might have to dig deeper and amend the statement Jesus made more than two thousand years ago to this: By thy roots you shall know them. In spirit, it is no different! Metaphors change with time, culture, and circumstances. Why are we Goans not strongly denouncing the bashing of Lamanis in Goa? Have we become hypocrites and anti-national? Let’s get our priorities straight: We are Indian citizens which gives us a right to live and work anywhere in India. It is not a privilege given to a few chosen people. People who object to Lamanis working and living in Goa can always leave the country, and Goa, and go elsewhere - including Portugal - but if they want to live in India they have to uphold the rights framed in the Indian constitution. Otherwise, they are subversive and anti-national people. That Goans are found to be working everywhere in India is no secret; not only in this country but all over the world. What do Goans who want to get rid of Lamanis have to say about this fact? The majority of Lamanis are working legally as are the majority of Goans, in Goa and everywhere else. What is the reason for Lamani bashing? Not only Lamanis have been successful in getting jobs in Goa but people from everywhere in India. Why pick on the Lamanis? If the issue is about illegal activities of Lamanis in Benaulim then what about the illegal activities of Goans in the village and all over Goa? Who rents their houses to the Lamanis if not Goans? Have Goans not been renting houses to Lamanis for decades now in south and north Goa? If the people want only legal businesses and legal businessmen and businesswomen it is a change for the better. But the yardstick has to apply to everyone - Lamanis and non-Lamanis, too. The Goans who are on a rampage against Lamanis are giving other Goans a bad name. A lot of Goan families depend on Lamanis to do some chore or the other. I am among them. If the Lamanis are not allowed to work in Goa (which can never happen) but is the dream of people with a narrow village mentality, the roofs of hundreds of houses will fall on our thick skulls. We need to learn to be grateful and not spit on a helping hand otherwise our roots will rot (if they haven’t already). We need to be grateful for all the help the Lamani community has given to enrich Goan society in a hundred and one ways. If our roots rot, then the branches and twigs will also rot, and the tree will produce rotten fruit.
[Goanet] COLORS OF JUSTICE
DOES TRUTH AND PEOPLE'S MANDATE PREVAIL? In Chattisgarh Khattar of BJP is sworn in as CM with Dhushyant of the JJP party as Deputy CM whose father was overnight granted two weeks furlough from Tihar Jail to attend son's swearing in! Congress leader Shivkumar also just released from Tihar Jail is welcomed at Bangaloru airport with huge garlands and massive crowds blocking traffic for which inconvenience to harassed citizens he subsequently publicly apologised. The partisan law and order machinery just stands by and watches/ takes/part/helps in the proceedings! When I brought to a two wheeler rider's notice at the OCoqueiro junction does he require a Rs10,000/- fine to stop breaking traffic rules,he berated me with you have no authority to correct me. In other words both the authorities and citizens require the "danda" from someone in authority to do what is right and be law abiding citizens? Unfortunately authority is setting the bad example!The shenagins after elections makes us wonder when truth and people's mandate will prevail in our nation.The Shiv Sena and BJP tussle in Maharashtra is interesting! We keep electing our oppressors to cater to our greed and illegal wants. We are ready to die for our religion but live upto its noble tenets...only if it suits us. Hypocracy all around is it not?

[Goanet] PLANT TAP ROOT TREES ALONG AVENUES
PLANT TAP ROOT TREES ALONG AVENUES STEPHEN DIAS, DONA PAULA In the light of the incident of a tree that was uprooted in heavy rains and high velocity wind at Campal, it should be stressed that a scientific approach be adopted so as to ensure that such incidents in the city especially, where traffic density is high and the prospect of casualties being high due to inclement weather, be prevented. Having observed the roots of the uprooted tree, it is plain to see that this particular tree had adventitious roots. Since adventitious roots are widespread and do not grow deep into the earth, it would be suggested that botanists be taken into confidence so as to ensure that trees lining a certain road be trees that have tap roots, which are firmly entrenched and firm in the soil and are therefore unlikely to uproot easily. Another aspect of trees planted along avenues is that branches are phototropic in nature, meaning that branches grow towards sunlight and thus may always lean away from the trunk making it thus more susceptible to being uprooted when strong winds blow. Botanists with the help of the Forest Department have to tackle this issue of preventing trees from being uprooted by planting trees that have tap roots. Also adventitious root trees lining a particular avenue should be compulsorily trimmed from time to time by the Corporation of the City of Panaji or respective municipal councils and the Forest Department to prevent further occurrences of tree uprooting in the cities and towns in particular which could entail high casualties of lives. The botanist, Forest Department and the Corporation or municipal councils should team up in Goa to prevent uprooting of trees in a scientific manner.

[Goanet] WILL SATYA PAL MALIK RESTORE TRANSPARENCY ATTHE GOA RAJ BHAVAN?
The 77 year old Mridula Sinha who continues as Goa Governor despite her five year term having ended on 31st August will now be replaced by 73 year old Satya Pal Malik who since August last year has been the Governor of contentious Jammu & Kashmir. Mridula Sinha in her five year jaunt merrily converted Goa’s Raj Bhavan into a BJP Dharamshala for the RSS, VHP, and the Bajrang Dal to congregate while she very deviously kept the Raj Bhavan out of the purview of the Right to Information Act. It will now have to be seen whether this current veil of secrecy continues to persist under Goa’s 18th Governor Satya Pal Malik. Like Mridula Sinha her successor is also a BJP politician but who has travelled through various political parties including the Congress, Bharatiya Kranti Dal, Janata Dal, Lok Dal and the Samajwadi Party before embracing the saffron brigade. Satya Pal Malik who was born on Christmas day hails from Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh and is a law graduate. All this huge extravagant expenditure at the Raj Bhavan is a criminal waste of public funds. For a cash strapped Goa, the Raj Bhavan should have led by sturdy austerity measures. Like all the Raj Bhavans our Raj Bhavan must also come within the ambit of the RTI Act so that there is absolute accountability and total transparency in all that transpires within that heavily guarded fortress. It defies logic and fair minded thinking that a publicly funded Raj Bhavan should not be transparent and under the scrutiny of the taxpayer. Surely, he who pays the piper should be calling the tune. Goa has seen some very outstanding Governors by way of Lt Gen. J.F.R. Jacob, Dr. S.S.Sidhu and Mr. B.V. Wanchoo while we have also witnessed those from the other end of the spectrum on whom less said the better. It’s high time the nation debates on the manner in which Governors are appointed and whether we need ornamental puppet Governors needlessly burdening the taxpayer. Constitutionally the Governor possesses executive, legislative financial and judicial powers. The role of the Governor is very important and essential for the healthy functioning of democracy. However, in recent times this post has been reduced to becoming a retirement package for politicians. As a result people think that the post of the Governor is worthless and a financial burden on state governments even though technically the role of the Governor if exercised wisely and fairly for the benefit of the state and its people is very vital. Sarojini Naidu, the one-time Governor of UP had said that she considered herself “a bird in a golden cage”. Dr.Pattabhi Sitaramayya, Governor of Madhya Pradesh had this to say, “My duties as a governor lay more in getting visitors and providing them tea, lunches and dinners than anything else. The first thing I do in the morning is to peruse the list of visitors and invitees to lunch and dinner”. KM Munshi, Governor of Uttar Pradesh had a tiff with his Chief Minister and had complained to Pandit Nehru for redressal. When his plea was turned down, he described his job thus: “to run a hotel and entertain guests”. NV Gadgil, Governor of Punjab considered himself as “the Patwari of the State of Punjab whose function was to assess the conditions prevailing in the state and report to the Union government”. Governors cannot end up being mere rubber stamps as they constitutionally have a major role to play in overseeing that the State is well administered in accordance with law. They should be appointed on merit as the Raj Bhavans cannot end up being shelter homes to rehabilitate the deadwood of the ruling political party. After all, do we really need a “spare wheel” at the state level?
