In the US portland cement sells for pennies. Not so in India. That is reflected in what goesinto a batch of concrete at building sites. The roof of a house collapsed in Goa.

[Goanet] Diabetes in Goa
The middle class pays the price of a diet that is high in fat based calories and traditional consumption of rice which isknown to spike insulin flow from the pancreas. Inclement weather and the heat keep us from outdoor activity which would have otherwise provided the exercisewhich is known to play a role in carbohydrate metabolism. As we age, old line medication provides reduced protection, but newer drugs are expensive and may not be prescribedtoo often. I know of a practitioner in a town in Maharashtra who doles out unproven substances to the gullible as a diabetes treatmentand is quite popular with our people. I was acquainted with two who made the long bus trip regularly to collect the stuff. I had cautioned them but to no avail. Both ended up on dialysis after the disorder caused kidney damage and failure. The press needs to highlight the problem and the Diocese could use its platform to inform and educate people.

[Goanet] The New York Times : You must have more sex.
Writes Magdalena Taylor, in a guest column. Sex is good, sex is healthy, it is an essential part of our social fabric. It is a critical part of our social fabric, but in the midst of a loneliness epidemic, we are not having enough sex. It is a critical part of our social well being. Less time is spent with friends and lovers, in isolation that is limiting social lives and happiness. Sex reduces pain, relieves stress and makes the heart stronger. Sex is an act of social solidarity. Any capable person must have more sex, as often as possible.

[Goanet] . . . grinding Goa’s uniqueness into oblivion."
Yes, the carrion from India has descended on Goa, changing our beloved homeland's very soul. And of course Goa's government is doing all it can to grab its own wrongful share of the ensuing loot. But are they really at the base of the change that has overtaken Goa? No no no no no. It is we Goans who are hawking off our Goa each time we succumb to greed and sell our homes to the aforementioned carrion.Those homes, built lovingly by long gone grand- and great- and great great grandparents, that we sell away to the filthy rich, shedding crocodile tears as we do it, but do it anyway. Those generations of our forefathers hover over us, weeping unheard, as we willingly participate in changing Goa into Greater Kailash. This rush of love and hate has been brought on by my friend Jug Suraiya's blog that appeared in this morning's Times of India. ___ Keep it Goan: The tiny state is charmingly different, so let’s keep it that way Jug Suraiya People ask me why I keep going to Goa but don’t buy a place of my own there. My reply is that it’s because I like Goa so much that I don’t want to own a piece of it. If I did such a thing, as so many non-Goans are doing, Goa will lose its distinctive charm, its Goan-ness, which is what makes it so attractive for me. Goa has changed almost unrecognisably since Bunny and I first went there, back in 1978. We lived in Calcutta and there was little information we could glean about the tucked-away state. We had several Goan friends in Calcutta, but having their family homes in Goa, they couldn’t tell us much about hotels or restaurants, or give us other tips for travellers. There was no oracular Internet or Google Search to consult then, so when we flew into Dabolim we were venturing into what for us was unknown territory. It was this unknowingness that gave gradual rise to the enchantment of discovery as we fell under the spell of this lush, emerald green, palm-fringed land, adorned with its golden necklace of beaches, and flowing with majestic rivers, like the mighty Zuari, which we crossed by ferry, there being no bridge then. We stayed in small hotels, rode in local buses which included chickens and goats as passengers, driving down winding, densely wooded country lanes dotted with sleepy-eyed ancient villas dozing in the dapple of sun and shade, and tiny, bleach-white churches at which the driver would make an impromptu halt for evening prayer, in which everyone joined, goats and all. We savoured Goa’s inimitable hospitality in the form of xacuti, and sorpotel, and vindaloo, and chonak rava fry, and delicious poi bread, in family sitting rooms turned into impromptu eateries for the comfort of hungry wayfarers in search of a home-cooked meal. That Goa is fast vanishing, obliterated by a sprawl of luxury hotels, resorts and monstrous apartment blocks of holiday homes for people from Delhi, and Mumbai, and Bengaluru, and elsewhere. Steamroller India is grinding Goa’s uniqueness into oblivion. So, no, I don’t want to buy a place there. But I’d like to keep going to Goa. And to keep it Goan. - - - Stanley Pinto 153 The Embassy

[Goanet] The Chinês Clandestinos of Lisbon
Planning a trip to Lisbon? Visit these secret underground restaurants and Lisbon's tastiest secret. These Chinese home restaurants are a mainstay of Lisbon’s eclectic Mouraria neighbourhood An Asian supermarket in Lisbon, Portugal. By Raul Dias "Once you’ve exited the Martim Moniz metro station, head down Rua do Benformoso and let your nose lead you to your destination...” I find myself grappling with the inadequacy of this set of instructions supplied by Ignacio Pinto, a friend who is hosting me at his Lisbon apartment on my short trip to the Portuguese capital. t’s already 8pm. Way past my dinner time. The only smell that’s perking up my olfactory senses, and thereby, exacerbating my hunger, is that of a certain smokable, dried leaf that isn’t tobacco. But I’d been suitably warned of this, too. For, the artsy neighbourhood of Mouraria that I’ve just been propelled into, is widely considered to be Lisbon’s hotbed of counter culture and subversion. Once the city’s Moorish quarter, the gritty, graffiti-strewn Mouraria of today is located a stone’s throw away from Lisbon’s famed, hill-topped Castelo de São Jorge. Fittingly, this is also where the iconic Portuguese Fado music scene was birthed and flourished at the turn of the 20th century. It was made popular by Mouraria’s most famous resident, Maria Severa. But my quest today has more to do with Mouraria’s multi-ethnic identity, one that sees the neighbourhood providing a safe haven for scores of recent immigrants—from Cape Verde, Mozambique, West Bengal and, more pertinently, China. I’m in Mouraria to check out a unique concept that has existed since the mid 2000s: Chinês clandestinos. Literally translated as ‘clandestine Chinese’, these are secret underground restaurants run by enterprising Chinese immigrants, akin to an American prohibition-era speakeasy of sorts. There are believed to be at least a hundred such places scattered around Lisbon, but mostly concentrated in Mouraria. These are born out of both homesickness and as a means to earn a living for the immigrants, offering some very affordable, wholesome—if a tad inauthentic—Chinese fare. Unnamed and deliciously clandestine, they are often makeshift establishments fashioned out of living rooms, mostly on the upper floors of rundown and ramshackle old apartment buildings along streets like Rua da Guia, Rua do Capelão and the aforementioned Rua do Benformoso that I am currently loitering around. Eateries that can only be found via word of mouth. Or, by some serious food sleuthing. Number 59, Rua do Benformoso, my Chinês clandestino of the night, is one such establishment. It can only be identified by the bright red Chinese lantern that hangs from a second story balcony of a decrepit, almost tenement-like building. I cautiously make my way up the rickety flight of stairs. Almost identical in concept to the famous paladares of Havana, Cuba—small, family-run restaurants, usually in a converted part of a home—these Chinês clandestinos operate in a somewhat quasi-legal manner, with little or no adherence to the rather lax safety, hygiene and indoor smoking laws put in place by the Lisbon municipality. All this is rather apparent as I’m ushered into a dimly lit, graffiti-bedecked living room, shrouded in a veil of cigarette smoke. The stale fetidness intermingles with the delicious food aromas wafting in from the attached kitchen. Besides the omnipresent graffiti, the interior ‘decor’ features tacky, modern chinoiserie decorative tchotchkes like those ubiquitous good luck waving gold-painted plastic cats, tattered posters of the Great Wall, etc. Almost everything is in varying stages of decay. I’m handed a dog-eared, illustrated menu card by my server. In broken English, she tells me that she’s the niece of the proprietor and a student from the erstwhile Portuguese colony of Macau, here to learn Portuguese literature. I’m also given a slip of paper and pencil to tick out what all I’d like to try. Now, this seems like a herculean task. The menu is huge, to say the very least. And nothing is over 5 Euros a portion! The menu features dishes that fall into two broad categories. One is full of ersatz versions of some of Chinese cuisine’s greatest hits like Peking duck and youpo chemian (biangbiang noodles), among others. The other is the kind one sees when Chinese food is appropriated and adapted to suit the local taste, much like our very own desi brand of Chindian or Peru’s Chifa cuisines. The Sino-Portuguese dishes that I plumb for take the form of excellent appetisers like ravioli frito, which are the Portuguese version of fried pork dumplings and the tongue-numbingly spicy tofu picante mapu (an iteration of mapu tofu). For mains, I tempt fate once again and am rewarded with a tasty fusion-style curried prawn dish from Macau called camarão de Macaense. I mop this with pão frito, the Portuguese riff on a Chinese bun that is fried

[Goanet] The Royals, Abdul, Edwina, et al.
Abdul, no doubt there, was poisoned off. The 'Family' was not going to tolerate his presencearound Victoria for much longer. As for the gay blades, Edwina and Javhar, they did what homo sexual protocol has called forsince the start of time: they faked a romance to fend suspicion. 'Murder in the Palace' was the very basis of survival of monarchies across the globe. We know that that the heir, Prince Bertie, married an Irish teen in a Catholic church. The registry can be examined at St. Marys' in the East End. We know that she was held in a lunaticasylum and incapacitated with the use of arsenic: records can be examined even today. Bertie was starved to death in an abandoned castle. His remains are sequestered on a third floor porch at Windsor. We know that twelve Irish prostitutes wrote the palace to blackmail over the affair: all twelve were murdered by the queen's surgeon. He was Jack the Ripper ! Those files were openedby Harold Wilson. Now I wonder if this 'regal' attitude is not related to the somewhat enigmatic relationship of Queen Empress Victoria with her Indian man servant (Abdul? - which was the subject of a popular movie), and had raised eyebrows in Bukhingham Palace in its time.

Their message constitutes shameless slander. The 'Rev" Paul Scalia who sits on the Board is a son of the late Supreme Court judge Antonin,the combative activist whose demented pseudo legal arguments often carried the day in recentyears : so you get the picture.

[Goanet] On smoking meat, in Goa.
Wikipedia explains that smoking alone is not sufficient to act as a preservative, meat also has to be salted and dried : it makes me smile because watching chunks of freshly butchered pork dry in the sun was my job, at the age of six. They were salted earlier. under a heavy rock, in a tub. Nets shielded the meat, but our hungry raptors were savvy thieves and I waived a tree branch at them all day log. In North America, hickory and apple tree branches are commonly used for their flavour. In Goa, the stuffed sausage meat in casings was suspended over the fireplace where we cooked, using the branches of mango trees. I used smoked ham hocks for a vindaloo, this week. They were boiled first, to extract the salt and the liquid discarded. Salmon and herring are enjoyed smoked, as is gouda cheese.
[Goanet] Horse 'tales'
I just watched a documentary on the 'management' of horses in the wild in the state of Montana.

My friend Norman is involved in that freight forward trade from several countries. He is visiting Goa at the moment. He worksaround the clock and has little use for fake Covid fund raisers. I have put him to work for me in Goa on a kindly local Saligao operation. A Vasai father and son team operate a little restaurant outside NY city. Goa Diocesepriests created the Bassein schools that turned vegetable growers into a happy middleclass. The P liner I dined on is now in Barbados, by way of Liverpool and Norway.

Hope for our land is now drifting away, evidencedby a drop in messages posted here by what once was enthusiastic audience. Frederick's co-homeland of Brazil went down the tube, courtesy of super Christianand maha patriot Bolsonaro. Rajan and I share a co-homeland known as the USA. A series of 'Christians' startingwith the huckster Reagan and on to Trump have sold us out to the financial interests of charlatan billionaires. And finally to our beloved Bharat, richly endowed by nature but haunted by 'socialism'.Newly enriched by the likes of the Tatas and our software titans, we woke up to discoverthat Laxmi's baniya children had exported one half of our bank deposits to Zurich andLondon. The remedy may lie in thrashing impoverished Muslims, but I am not so sure it will work.The Icelanders are just too smitten with venereal bacteria to come to our rescue.
[Goanet] Ray Doctrine.
Many of us here share a nominal affiliation to a religious group that in turn once dominated the social scene of the province we call home. But Goanet is not about promoting kindred causes or, for that matter, dismantling them. The man's religion is not the Catholic Church. It is filthy US politics in the guise of religion. That white man's group is dissident and renegade and i so wish 'Ray' didnot inflict on us. I understand his advertising venture in Denmark is not so wonderfully Copenhagen, but he can always retreat to the solitude of his native Yorkshire which he can christine Cuncolim for nostalgia.

The Eddie Ray 'person' must be cognizant of the fact that they exist to seek powerand exercise power. Without them, a mafiosi group emerges and seizes control. A good example of such tyrannies is today's Kremlin, China, Venezuela, Zimbabwe. India is an emerging RSS mafia kleptocracy in the guise of and trappings of a democracy. Biden is not a doddering old man. It is Trump who is a clear example of the HDD/bipolardisorder. His was a corrupt regime that indulged in self serving schemes from the very start. He was pathogically unable to speak the truth.

[Goanet] Britain today.
The system in England was always shameless. They bought and sold seats which were knownas pocket boroughs. Great misery followed the war, no coal or oil for heat, mass starvation lf not for free grain from India, Canada and Australia. They voted for Attlee in desperation andhe introduced real taxes. Eighty percent on income and ninety on death created NationalHealth and vast public housing. People could not pay thousand pound heating bills and the Tories refused to pass the 25% tax on excess oil profits. What followed was outrage and Truss was out. The vice so ingrained in the culture that produced the East India Company of pirates facilitatedthe rise of a evil shaman named Boris. Little explains his rise to power and endearing popularitywith a significant segment of the people. Seats in the legislature were considered 'pocket boroughs'to be acquired and traded. That tradition survives, in camouflage. It explains the fact that membersmay legally sell favours to the public, as a Goan in parliament did, flagrantly. Stock trader Sunak had no credentials to public service or knowledge of governance, other thana bloated bank account that bought him credibility, and finally power.
[Goanet] PM Sunak
He operated a hedge fund and made a billion. His wife is worth two, and her fatherhas given away five. So why is he a Tory star: because he bought the party, his smartest hedge. In a countrywhere it is legal for members of parliament to trade favours, he bought their allegiance, cash for sure, and much kind. The final bill came due when Boris almost certainly demanded his pound of flesh: he supports a galley of women with no visible evidence of income. The sovereign appoints HIS prime minister to run HIS government. He is just as empoweredto dismiss him and parliament, should he choose to do so. The Tories are forty percent behindin the polls and the economy is in a precarious position. Expect Suella to lead a revolt overa small or contrived gripe. Sunak sits on a narrow ledge.
[Goanet] White Pope Francis
Has turned the tables on the closed minded epoch of his German predecessor andbrought sea changes to the mind set and thinking of the Faith. This is the man who rode a bicycle through the alleys of Buenos slums, handing out his paycheck when Bishop of the city. He rejected all the pomp of his title, and the comfortof a palace, to occupy a barely furnished room in a convent. We have seen pictures. He orchestrated the elevation to sainthood of men and women who in the old setupwould not have been introduced to the world for likeness to piety and holiness. "This Eddy" first needs to introduce himself to us before we approve his bonafidesto rise to pontification. I agree he needs to bigger off, a la Saskatoon.

The only brands once stocked by Indian owned grocery stores. US supermarkets carried the iconic Sun Brand date and mango made by the Bombay Marine LinesParsi concern, J. Poonjiaji Sons. Sun was deprived of its trade mark and I do not understand the reason for that,but the name now glows on jars of some very hideous stuff sold by upstarts imitators. Ferns is a Poona Goan family owned maker of snacks and pickles that thrives in India, but vanished in the US.

To the Marathi truck driver's son, Goa is a source of funds to be funneled into his Maratha real estate holdings.

He could turn his ill gotten gains to arty piles,the way Baniyas operate in Rajasthan. They also donate hospitals and schools. But he rather preside over the dismantling of our prized land, to every last palm tree.He bulldozed the pretty casurinas that graced Miramar and forests over Mopa, even as he pulls off a not so artful 'beautification' of the Art Academy at Campal. We seem to be losing hope for our newly sorrowful land, very visible in the dropof interest by correspondents who once treated us to lively discourses in these columns.

[Goanet] Rev. Borde Poona/Satara Harijan operative.
He is as much in arms against the Goa elite as he sides with the US politicalundignified. He found a useful weapon to hurl upon the group that once treatedhis social group with less than enough respect and is playing it up with all theammo he can muster. His group in the US is now openly schismatic, also united in heart and soul with rebellious whites who want nothing less than to overthrow the countries democratic setup and order. They also firmly believe the criminal Donald Trump had the election stolen fromhim, in spite of the fact that his many appeals to the highest courts were dismissedout of hand.
[Goanet] Borde leads the charge of the medically paranoid.
A certain Rev. Victor Borde has used the stage of a rag publication that styles itselfthe Church Militant to attack the Diocese of Goa and the Cardinal. The priest is in employ of the Diocese of Poona, but I do not know if he has earned the imprimatureof his bishop. He has launched a fierce attack in print on the cardinal's support of the cause affiliationto a Hindu deity, and is now calling for public support through a signature drive. The rag sheet is in the forefront of attacks on the Church of Rome and the Holy Father.That mini schismatic war is coordinated by militant right wing political groups, all disgruntled since the loss of support from Pope Benedict, something they could count on a times. They are closely aligned with the American political right which is determinedto undermine democracy in the US, and is lead by the unhinged criminal Donald Trump.
[Goanet] Hindus and Muslims, and Amos Noronha (O Heraldo, 25/9/2022)
https://www.heraldgoa.in/Edit/By-invitation/Hindus-and-Muslims-and-Amos-Noronha/194396 There are many odd, disturbing and worrisome aspects to the unexpected, unprecedented flare-up - on ostensibly Hindu-Muslim lines - in the ancient city of Leicester in the UK, and also the sheer mystery of why 20-year-old Amos Noronha is the first person to go to jail for it. Here’s what’s on the Leicestershire Police website: “A 20-year-old man has been sentenced 10 months in prison following his arrest during the disorder in East Leicester. Amos Noronha, of Illingworth Road, Leicester pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon. He was arrested Saturday night during the police operation in East Leicester. An additional 18 people were arrested on Sunday night for a number of offences including affray, common assault, possession of an offensive weapon and violent disorder. In total, 47 people have been arrested for offences in relation to the unrest in the east of the city.” The police took pains to note that “Some of those arrested were from out of the city, including some people from Birmingham”. Temporary Chief Constable Rob Nixon said, “We saw last night a group of people from other cities come to our city to disrupt and cause harm. We will not stand for this unrest in our city. Be reassured: we are working to keep you safe and to arrest and bring to justice those that are causing harm in our communities.” What happened in Leicester? Don’t believe social media because one thing we do know is Indians are being stoked to outrage about it. BBC journalist Abdirahim Saeed outlined on Twitter that, “there were at least 500K English-language tweets from last 7 days that mentioned #Leicester in context of recent tensions. Over 50% originated from accts geolocated in India. However, 97% of volume for 'Hindu under attack' tags were made up of retweets. This is a tell-tale sign of inauthentic amplification.” So, whatever happened in the faraway East Midlands, there seem to be big stakes for political gain in India. This is to be expected says Pratap Bhanu Mehta in his latest Indian Express column: “Long-distance diasporic nationalisms have always been a feature of global politics. Culturally, these have often been more intractable than the politics in home countries for a variety of reasons. Diasporic nationalisms and identities are often more abstract, eschewing all complexity, and able to indulge in those abstractions because there is no skin in the game. They often do not have to face the consequences of the violence and dislocations of that identity-mongering.” Nonetheless, the marked hostility of the clashes in Leicester – and the recent incident of bulldozers paraded in New Jersey – do signal something new. Mehta says, “there are three things that make this moment in diaspora fractures more distinctive both in the US and the UK. In the Eighties, after clashes broke out, there will still an attempt across communities to see their respective states, or mainstream politicians in those countries, as a relatively neutral arbiter; in fact, the whole point was not to draw politicians in the UK or US in accusations of partisanship in India’s communal conflicts. We are still awaiting a full, authoritative account of the events at Leicester. But in the discourse, at least, one is struck by the fact that the narrative of “Hindu victimhood” is even pointing fingers at the local state, as if it was somehow partisan in failing to protect Hindus.” Mehta says, “the second big change is the explicit involvement of the Indian state. The Indian state’s statement condemned “the violence perpetrated against the Indian community in Leicester and the vandalisation of premises and symbols of Hindu religion”. Notice no appeal to Hindus not to take out intimidating marches, or the acknowledgement that marches chanting Jai Shri Ram might be adding to the tension… In short, the Indian state itself is now going to intervene in a partisan manner in these conflicts. It will not be a party of peace but of more polarisation.” Then, “the third big change is that their global ideological patrons of conflict will have an investment in politically milking these incidents, in a context where all inhibitions on ethnic nationalism are gone. Now, we are not in the realm of long-distance nationalism, but in a global political market that is looking to construct narratives of victimhood that can be used in any global context.” Mehta says, “there is also no doubt that Hindutva is not about the defence of Hinduism or Hindu interests, but a global ideology of hate and asserting cultural dominance. It is bizarre to think you can have this much dissemination of hate without it having violent political consequences. Now that inhibitions have been broken, brace for more conflict.” Is that going to happen in Leicester, the very first UK city to register “majority minority” with more than 50% “non-white British” citizens?

Re: [Goanet] Do Not Succumb To Pandemic Madness
A priest who died last week came to my home, forty years ago, and asked me to pay for a ten classroom school building. He insisted I attend his service the next morning. At the altar he asked members to greet me at the door. Every single one of them, walked out the side doors. Fifty years later, they published a souvenir book. I was asked to pay the 50,000 printing costs. There was no reference to me in any of a dozen articles. The next year the school asked me to install a one lac CCTV system. I asked for a community request signed by 100 0f them. It was not forthcoming. I then visited the convent school and the principal had an identical need. She also threw in three toilets, for good measure. I gave two lacs.

The closing of Jesuit institutions lead to a declineof Catholics for lack of education and influence. Restoration would only begin in 1814. The Italian Carmelites were in Bombay from 1720 to 1745, when hurdles arose. The Archbishop of Goa, insisting on theright of Patronage, demanded they obtain his permission to perform all priestly duties. A state of disharmony followed,and soon the British got involved. The Carmelite head of Bombay was expelled, to return only in 1773. After some years, churches under British jurisdiction were withdrawn from the control of the bishop of Goa and restoredto the Carmelite bishop of Bombay, a volte face for the governor of Bombay. Double Jurisdiction Was introduced in 1794 and four churches were to be served by the Carmelite mission and two: Gloria and Salvacao along with Cavel chapel by Portuguese priests. The Company gave the people the right to reject a vicar named by the bishop. The Bombay government next claimed the right of sanction in the appointment of parish priests. In the case of Salcette, the civil regime denied the Goa Archbishop all rights of appointments. In 1823 civil war broke out between the king, Manuel who was supported by religious orders and the party of Queen Maria Gloria. The latter won and initiated a process of church persecution. All religious orders were suppressed and relations with the Holy See broken off. The Portuguese government neglected the management of church affairs. The Holy See stepped in and created vicarates in Madras, Bengal, and Ceylon, which Portugal opposed.

From: Glenn Desouza DeSouza, China now has 70% of the world’s bullet trains – America will get its first in 2032. Over 2,800 pairs of bullet trains run daily connecting over 550 cities in China. Shanghai to Beijing can be covered in 4.5 hours while the fastest train covering New York-Chicago, a comparable distance, takes 19 hours. *** ** 1.Amazing Growth of GDP: In 1989 China accounted for 2% of world GDP by 2020 the share had risen to 17%. In 1989, Japan’s GDP was 8 times larger than China, today, China GDP is 3 times larger. In 1989, India and China were on par, today China’s GDP is more than 5 times larger. 2.50-Fold Increase in GDP Per Capita: In 1989, the per-capita GDP of China was RMB 1,663 (approximately USD 200) in 2019, China per capita GDP reached 72,000 RMB (USD 10,262) a50-fold increase in dollar terms. 3.Poverty Totally Eliminated: China has lifted 770 million people out of poverty. In February of this year, total elimination was recorded! 5.World’s-Best Infrastructure: China has 70% of the world’s bullet trains. Over 2,800 pairs of bullet trains run daily connecting over 550 cities in China. Shanghai to Beijing can be covered in less than 5 hours while the fastest train covering New York-Chicago, a comparable distance, takes 19 hours. 6.Technology Leadership: China has 819,000 5G base stations, 70% of the world’s total. The USA has just 50,000. - Largest Creditor Nation: China provides more finance than “the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and all other creditor governments combined” - Largest Trading Nation – India to Japan: China is the largest trading partner of more than half of the world’s countries including those who don’t like it very much such as Australia, India and Japan. CPC -- An Elite and Open Meritocracy - Meritocratic: Diplomat Kishore Mahbubani opines that “The Chinese Communist Party is one of the most meritocratic political parties in the world. It selects the best people to join the party. This is absolutely unknown to many Americans.” - Democratic: Demos means people in Greek andaccording to the Harvard Ash Center 95% of Chinese are either relatively or highly satisfied with their government versus 38% of American respondents. - Self-Sufficiency, Innovation-Driven. By 1964, the self-sufficiency rate of China's main machinery and equipment had reached over 90 percent. Since then, that quest for self-sufficiency has never stopped and has helped lift China to a world-leading global technological power in many areas - from 5G to high-speed rails, and from new-energy vehicles to space exploration technologies.

I was reading up on the Portuguese presence in Bengal when I came upon this information, The Padre Eduardo Britto was born in Cuncolim and arrived in Timor in 1947 along with twenty odd fellow priests. He served in several parishes with great admiration. The governor Abilio Soares installed his bust when he was still alive in 1995, outside a church where he was posted. There was a link to a site for more about him but it is in island Bhasha.

[Goanet] The Church in Canara : Padroado turf once.
With thanks to Michael Lobo of Mangalore. Rosario Cathedral, Mangalore, was known as the Churchof “Nossa Senhora de Rosario” for centuries after its foundation by thePortuguese in the late 16th century. So too the parish church at Coondapur, whichis of almost equal vintage. In the year 1837 a church dedicated to “Nossa Senhorade Rosario” was also built at Kallianpur. This building of this church was a milestone in the history ofMangalore, as it was the first church to be administered directly from Rome. This statement may seem surprising, but prior to the1830s the Mangalore Mission was in the hands of the Portuguese Padroado, a term that will be explained below. Padroado is aPortuguese word meaning ‘patronage’; the expression arose because, in the 16thcentury, the Pope granted the Crown of Portugal a monopoly of the patronage ofthe missions in India and the East Indies. In other words, it was up to the King or Queen of Portugal to select andsponsor bishops and other ecclesiastics for the Catholic missions in theseareas; vice versa, missionaries in these areas were expected to obtainpermission from the Crown of Portugal, and in practice permission was onlygranted to Portuguese subjects. Theseprivileges were justified in the 16th century, when the Portuguesewere the paramount power in the East, but as its power waned, the Crown ofPortugal was no longer able to do justice to the missions that it hadfounded. In India, the three oldestbishoprics were Goa (1534), Cochin (1557), and Mylapore (1606), but the Crownof Portugal was only able to provide support for Goa. Cochin fell to the Dutch, who destroyed thePortuguese churches in the mid 17th century – and the Holy See (thepapacy) founded a new bishopric at Verapoly, a little to the north. It was India’s firstdiocese of non-Portuguese origin. The PropagandaFide (Propagation of the Faith) was the Papal Department concerned withmission activity. Dissatisfied with the Padroado, it begansending its own missionaries to India – notably Carmelites, Capuchins, and Jesuits. The 1830s sawthe foundation of three new dioceses: Madras (1832), Calcutta (1834), and Ceylon(1836). The diocese of Madras replacedthe older diocese of Mylapore that had fallen into disuse. By the late 19th century, theArchdiocese of Goa was the last stronghold of the Padroado. The 19th century history of Christianity in South Kanara wasdominated by the so-called Padroado-Propaganda schism,with some parishes remaining faithful to the Archbishop of Goa and otherspreferring direct administration from the papacy at Rome. The church of “Nossa Senhora de Rosario”, Kallianpur,was the first to be administered directly from Rome, but not all the Catholicsof the Kallianpur area joined the new parish. At least half remained with the older church dedicated to “Nossa Senhorade Milagres” (Our Lady of Miracles). The schism finally ended in the 1880s, the entire diocesecoming under the jurisdiction of the papacy. yearsago, and replaced by a brand new structure in keeping with the times. The memorial slabs that marked the finalresting places of the leading members of Rebello and Fernandes families arealso ‘history’.

[Goanet] A New Way to Defend Taiwan
Stephen Bryen October 3, 2021 Updated: October 3, 2021biggersmaller Print A New Way to Defend Taiwan (theepochtimes.com) Commentary Among military strategists, there is debate about whether American aircraft carriers, generally thought to be critical for the relief of Taiwan, are vulnerable today to Chinese missiles and could be destroyed from long distances—perhaps as far as 1,000 miles or more. In the carrier killer category is the Dong Feng (East Wind) DF-21D, a two stage solid fuel anti-ship missile with a range of 900 miles or more. This ship can be guided to its target by satellites and by drones. It is said to have a maneuverable reentry vehicle (warhead) making it difficult to defeat. China is preparing on the one hand and watching the United States on the other. It isn’t clear at what point, using what strategies, China would reach the conclusion it could successfully attack U.S. aircraft carriers. Unfortunately, the same is true on the American side: it isn’t clear that the United States could stop a Chinese anti-carrier missile attack and we won’t really know until it happens. But even if the carriers could get through, the Chinese Air Force is far more capable than it was 25 years ago. China is working to improve its stealth capabilities and match the American F-22 even more than the F-35, which is more of a tactical aircraft and is less stealthy than the F-22. Much depends on the courage, political and moral, of the president. But the instinct in Washington would likely be an urgent attempt to push Taiwan into a negotiation with China that would end with Taiwan becoming Chinese. In effect, surrendering. That would get the United States off the hook but would be a dire warning to our friends in Asia that the sky was indeed falling and there was no hope or help to be had from the Americans. Unless another formula is found. Appeasement will, in the end lead to world war; it is impossible to believe that China would be satisfied just swallowing Taiwan. It should not be forgotten that China has an insatiable anger about Japan and what Japanese forces did to China in the 1930’s and 1940’s—the millions who were slaughtered, and the use of germ and chemical warfare by Japan against civilians, mainly Chinese. Once China has chased away the Americans, Japan is the next target and the Japanese know it, that is why Japan calls a possible invasion of Taiwan an “existential threat.” Allies in the Pacific can prevent this only with an entirely new strategy to deter China from attacking Taiwan. Instead of relying on far off carriers and waiting for the Chinese to create an incident or provocation to trigger a conflict, we need to take steps to change the game now by reinforcing Taiwan. The best and fastest way would be to create a single Taiwan Military Command that includes Japan, the United States, and Taiwan. There is no coordination command mechanism today with Taiwan or Japan. The current American approach—to do it ourselves—is not viable. Japan has F-35s and F-15s, a small but good navy, and excellent submarines. Taiwan has modernized F-16’s and CK-F-1 home built fighters. A single command structure would let China know it has a significantly larger problem on its hands than just Taiwan, and that the United States and Japan and Taiwan have access and support from multiple bases on Taiwan, on Okinawa, and in Japan. With that sort of challenge, China cannot hope to isolate Taiwan and frighten away the Americans. With a multi-base and support system to confront China and a common command, China’s strategy crumbles. The Pentagon should run new simulations with a single military command and multiple bases mutually supporting the effort to block a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Given the potential game-changing nature suggested here, China would understand that it is contained, much as NATO successfully contained the USSR from 1949 until its collapse in 1991. The current administration needs to turn around its policy approach of global retreat and appeasement, which will ultimately lead to war, and adopt a new strategy to deal with China before it is too late Dr. Stephen Bryen is regarded as a thought leader on technology security policy, twice being awarded the Defense Department’s highest civilian honor, the Distinguished Public Service Medal.

[Goanet] Pathan freedom fighters fight on
Pakistan has been shattered by killings across the length of the country by Pathan patriots. Scores of soldiersbelonging to the the terror State have lost their lives. the latest in the seventy long year war of liberation. Imran's army finally buckled and announced yesterday they would enter into talks with their archenemy.It has shamelessly brought genocide to the fierce tribes that have have fought invaders for millenia : Alexander, Moguls,Victoria, Russia and now Pakistani Punjabi Muslims. The US had installed an Uzbek government in Kabul after the Russian defeat twenty years ago. That group had turnedto India for military support against the Pathan majority. To curry favour with them, Pakistan created an invading force and told the world they were seminarians, or talibanis. They were in turn chased back to Pakistan afterthe US invaded twenty years ago. Kabul invited India back, and asked Pakistan to give their Pathans back their freedom. Artillery supplied by Indiawas used regularly across the Peshawar border. To retaliate, relaunched a Taliban insurgency, causing the deaths of 3000 troops of their own ally, the US.Last month, hundreds of Pakistani officers led an invasion by the Taliban that saw Kabul fall. No Americanswere killed, in a secretly brokered deal.
[Goanet] : Lusitanian in Hind by Aravind Adiga (2013)
John de Figueiredo reviews the article. He is a US based physician. Arrival of thePortuguese in Goa: Mr. Adiga states that the “start of thePortuguese rule in Goa” was “brutal”. Was it really “brutal”? Goans and otherIndians invited the Portuguese to occupy Goa and end the rule of Bijapur. WhenAlbuquerque arrived in Goa, the Goan Hindus fought in his army and took him intriumph when he successfully ended the rule of Bijapur. During the war of the occupation,Albuquerque respected the cultural norms of Goa. For example, he ordered thatBrahmans should not be killed and he wrote to his King he had done this “becausein this land Brahmans are not killed”. Compared to some of the conquests thatthe Goans had to endure before 1510, the arrival of the Portuguese in Goa canhardly be described as “brutal”, at least from the viewpoint of the Goans ofthat time. Compare it, for example, to the invasion of Goa by Achugi II, theSindha chieftain of Yelburga, who “took Gove (Goa Velha) and gave it to theflames”. During the 30 years that followed Albuquerque there was hardly anydiscrimination against Goan Hindus as far as we can determine. When religiousintolerance started, not all Hindu Brahmans left Goa. Many of them remained inGoa, continued to practice their trades, cooperated actively with thePortuguese, mainly as physicians, artists, interpreters, and translators,fought bravely in court for their rights, and sometimes the Portuguese(European) judges sided with them. For example, the Portuguese preferred Hinduphysicians to their European counterparts. Even among those who left Goa, therewere some who continued to cooperate with the Portuguese Government from theirexile, and some returned to Goa after the Portuguese guaranteed their safety.This has been firmly established by the research of Panduronga Pissurlencar. Francisco LuizGomes: It is true that Gomes wanted freedom forthe natives of India and he stated this in his famous letter to Alphonse deLamartine. But often carefully omitted by those who picture him as an “Indian nationalist”is the next paragraph in his letter in which he states: “More fortunate than mycountrymen, I am a citizen: civis sum”. (He was paraphrasing St. Paul,who, when imprisoned, claimed his rights as a Roman citizen.) Even a cursorylook at the writings and speeches of Francisco Luiz Gomes clearly shows heviewed himself as a Portuguese citizen, equal to those in Minho and Algarve,and viewed Goa as an integral part of the Portuguese Nation. In fact, he was apracticing Catholic and went as far as suggesting that the conversion toChristianity had significantly reduced in Goa the social inequities found inneighboring India. In this sense, seems to me, comparing him to Vivekananda,Tilak, or Gokhale, is totally out of order. Vivekananda, Tilak, and Gokhalewould never view themselves as British citizens or their India to be anintegral part of the British Empire, quite the opposite. It is also of notethat Francisco Luiz Gomes placed the scenario of his novel “Os Bramanes”,a wonderful portrait of the caste tensions, in neighboring India, and not inGoa, as Mr. Adiga correctly recognizes. Bernardo Peresda Silva: Mr. Adiga’s description of the ascensionand deposition of Bernardo Peres da Silva perpetuates the commonly held errorthat this was a conspiracy of Europeans and their descendants against the Goans;in short, a racist insurrection. In fact, it was not. Peres da Silva had manyEuropeans and their descendants in his favor. He, too, viewed himself as aPortuguese citizen and Goa as an integral part of the Portuguese Nation, and inone of his publications, he describes himself as a “Portuguese from India”. Infact, Mr. Adiga may be surprised to learn that the overwhelming majority of hissupporters who were “butchered” by his opponents during the insurrection wereEuropeans and their descendants. Such was the uproar created by his depositionthat an European general, Marshal Correia da Silva e Gama, who was designatedto govern Goa temporarily after Peres was deposed, tried very hard to bringPeres back but he did not succeed. This is because the conflict in Goa was notbetween Goans and Europeans as it is falsely portrayed nowadays. It was betweentwo political philosophies, the “liberais” (to which Peres belonged) whobelieved in a constitutional and representative monarchy, and the “absolutistas”,who promoted the absolute power of the Kings. Unlike some modern daypoliticians, Peres was a man with the highest standards of integrity. Hecontinued to fight for the rights of the people of Goa in the PortugueseParliament. The Goans recognized this by electing and re-electing him until hisdeath. The European who had betrayed him by promoting the insurrection,Fortunato de Melo, was eventually apprehended, imprisoned, and deported back toPortugal. Mr. Adiga is correct when he writes that since Peres da Silva wasappointed Governor

Africans crossed the Sinai around sixty thousand years ago. They evolved into three broad physical types, Turkcic, Coptic and Keltic in the plains and hills aroundthe Black Sea. The Copts were further refined into today's Europeans in the Kavkas mountains ofArmenia, Georgia and the lesser republics now swallowed by Russia. Feel free to say Caucasians. Turkey, then known as Asea/Asia, sent waves of Kaltic and the related Atrusi (Etruscans) into Europeand the Balkans. There is a Atrusi Museum in Croatia. Kaltik mummies in Uzbekistan feature pig tails and tartan skirts. Kaltik types live in Nepal and Tibet. It was the expansion of Germanic types that pushed the Celts into Scotland and Wales. French Normandy is home to their remnants on Europe's mainland. The relentless Turkcic move east gave us the peopling of Oriental Asia, Siberia and the the American continents.

[Goanet] Mangalore moments
- Forwarded Message - From: eric pinto To: Eric Pinto Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2021, 05:43:00 AM EDTSubject: Fw: A Momentous Anniversary the 31st of December, 1878 – and marked the arrival of the Italian Jesuits, who had been entrusted by Pope Pius IX and his successor Pope Leo XIII with the administration of the Apostolic Vicariate of Mangalore. The Jesuit mission from Naples arrived at Bombay in time for Christmas and then proceeded south to Goa on board a Portuguese steamship. A large number of young Mangaloreans had travelled as far north as Goa to meet the incoming Jesuits and escort them back to Mangalore by the British-India steamship SS Khandalla– they landed in Mangalore on December 31st. There is no doubt that the arrival of the Italian Jesuits in Mangalore on the 31st of December, 1878, was one of the most important events in the history of Mangalore. The major Catholic institutions with which Mangalore is indelibly associated – Fr. Muller’s Hospital, St. Joseph’s Inter-diocesan Seminary and Industrial Workshops, the Codialbail Press, and - of course - St. Aloysius College, all owe their existence to these Jesuit pioneers. The Cloistered Carmelites and Tertiaries arrived at Mangalore on November 19th– and were received at Rosario Cathedral by Bishop Mary Ephrem. In course of time the Carmelite Tertiaries became known as the Apostolic Carmel. St Ann’s Convent dates back to the year of their arrival in Mangalore, while St Agnes College, which they founded in 1921, has the distinction of being the oldest Catholic women’s college in South India, and the oldest women’s college outside the Presidency capital, Madras. That was the 8th of November of the year 1845. It is one of the most important events in the history of Catholic Mangalore. This is not merely because this date marks the foundation of the Diocese of Mangalore – then known as an Apostolic Vicariate. The dramatic historical setting involving the rivalry between the Crown of Portugal and the Papacy in Rome, the sequence of events leading up to November 1845, and the romantic episode of the first bishop being escorted on a sailing ship, together make up a story that is truly unforgettable. The foundation of the diocese of Mangalore was not a prosaic splitting from its parent diocese – such as, for example, the creation of Calicut diocese in 1923 by the simple process of carving it out of the diocese of Mangalore and a peaceful transfer of power. Paul Perini, the Italian Jesuit bishop of Mangalore, assumed charge of the newly created diocese of Calicut, paving the way for Mangalore to be administered by its own native clergy. By contrast, the creation of the Apostolic Vicariate of Mangalore nearly 100 years earlier took the form of a struggle for independence from the jurisdiction of its parent diocese (Goa), whose loyalties were to the Crown of Portugal and not to Rome. The story of the foundation of the Apostolic Vicariate of Mangalore is intimately associated with the history of Christianity in India. I will now touch up upon this subject – but I will try to be brief. Today, the Roman Catholic religion in India and around the world is organized in a systematic hierarchy, eventually ascending to the Vatican and the Papacy. But the power and authority of the papacy in India was not really established till the late 19th century. Despite the fact that Christianity in India has a history spanning at least five centuries, the country has had little by way of direct interaction with the papacy until the 19th century. Till then, the responsibility for the spread of Catholicism in India was in the hands of the so-calledPadroado, a term that will be explained below. Padroado is a Portuguese word meaning‘patronage’; the expression arose because, in the 16th century, the Pope granted the Crown of Portugal a monopoly of the patronage of the missions in India and the East Indies. In other words, it was up to the King or Queen of Portugal to select and sponsor bishops and other ecclesiastics for the Catholic missions in these areas; vice versa, missionaries in these areas were expected to obtain permission from the Crown of Portugal, and in practice permission was only granted to Portuguese subjects. These privileges were justified in the 16th century, when the Portuguese were the paramount power in the East, but as its power waned, the Crown of Portugal was no longer able to do justice to the missions that it had founded. In India, the three oldest bishoprics were Goa (1534), Cochin (1557), and Mylapore (1606), but the Crown of Portugal was only able to provide support for Goa. Cochin fell to the Dutch, who destroyed the Portuguese churches in the mid 17th century – and the Holy See (the papacy) founded a new bishopric at Verapoly, a little to the north. It was India’s first bishopric of non-Portuguese

[Goanet] Otelo Nuno Romão Saraiva de Carvalho, RIP
I believe he passed away recently. So was Dª. Carlota Joaquina da Silva de Oliveira Pegado the mother of Fernanda Aurea Pegado Romão who married Augusto Saraiva de Carvalho (1912-1969)? If that's the case then it seems to match for Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho.Augusto Saraiva de Carvalho, his father, and his mum met in Lourenço Marques/Maputo, as Otelo (interesting name, from Hamlet?) was born there... Augusto Saraiva de Carvalho was the "Portuguese jurist, lawyer, publicist and politician who, among other functions, was a deputy, Minister of Finance, Minister of Justice and Minister for Public Works, Commerce and Industry. He was one of the main drivers of the reformist movement of Janeirinha." https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusto_Saraiva_de_CarvalhoProbably like you did, :-) he studied Law at Coimbra it seems that his maternal grandmother Mrs. Carlota Joaquina de Silva Oliveira Pegado was of goan origin - from Margão.. . __,_._,___
