Hi everyone:
Goa Sudharop's theme for 2010 is YEAR OF THE GOAN VOLUNTEER SPIRIT, and
our Youth have stepped up to the plate by organizing a volunteer drive.
They challenge you to take flipflop challenge for youth.
- Try walking barefoot outdoors for a day this summer or winter. Now
imagine young children having to walk barefoot, on hot roads, on unclean
and possibly unsanitary streets in Goa. Together we can team up and send
flip flops to these children, they not only offer a healthier alternative
to walking barefoot, but are a fun and simple way to offer a child or
toddler a feeling of ownership while adding to their confidence and
dignity.
The 2010 flip flop campaign has 4 drive options:
1. Flop Drop: We will have youth from different parts of the San
Francisco Bay Area hold a flipflop drop off in their area where people
could drop off flip flop donations. If a drop off is held in other parts
of the U.S. I would suggest donating an additional $1 to help cover costs
of shipping.
2. Flipflop global: Donate online at Goa Sudharop website (click on DONATE
on the Home Page), a suggested minimum donation of $3 donation will easily
cover the feet of a child or toddler with a pair of flipflops. $15 would
make 5 children happy.
3. Our team will also contact organizations such as Old Navy, Target, and
other possible businesses, to see if they would help support this cause.
4. Hold a booth at a local event that will permit guests to donate.
The Goal for 2010 is 100 pairs of flipflops
Proposed by Kiran Shastri ? Goa Sudharop Youth Leadership Team

Joao Barros-Pereira has rightly observed that old Goan houses have been
maintained by foreigners... It is sad that several Goans support the
hounding of foreigners by the Goa government over land purchases...
==================================
Response:
Bravo Joao Barros-Pereira and Soter for speaking out!
It is also perplexing that there are some overseas Goans, like the
normally
rational George Pinto who are xenophobic regarding this issue and believe
that all foreigners must have their property confiscated even if bought
legally!
In my experience not only have many foreigners restored dilapidated
property
using local craftsmen, but also started and/or supported local charities.
It is true that many foreigners have fallen foul of the law after seeking
legal representation and obtaining their sale deeds. What is abhorrent is
that builders and lawyers who were responsible for the scam, are to go
unpunished but the victims are liable not only to lose their life savings
but be fined as well.
The very first property under threat by the Enforcement Directorate is
Basilisk Lodge (http://basilisklodge.com/english/index.html) in Anjuna
which
was bought for Rs 4 lakhs in 2003. I visited the house earlier this year
to
check out the restoration work for myself.
Now the property has been attached - see

Goa woman death case: Pacheco's wife summoned by Crime Branch
Ads by Google
Press Trust Of India
Panaji, June 12, 2010
Crime Branch today issued summons to the wife of former Goa Minister
Fransisco Pacheco, who is on the run after being probed for the death
of his close friend Nadia Torrado.
"Viola has been summoned to the Crime Branch on Saturday at 10.30 am,"
a source close to Pacheco's family said.
Police raided Pacheco's house at Betalbhatim, 40 kms away from here,
and confiscated half a dozen computers.
The summons were served to Viola soon after the raid.
Police are investigating the death of 28-year-old Nadia Torrado, who
died allegedly after consuming poison on May 15.
The Crime Branch has accused the former Tourism minister of being
involved in the crime.
The minister's close friend and officer on special duty Lyndon
Monteiro has been made co-accused in this case.
Pacheco and Monteiro are on the run since June 6, when they were
called for questioning by the Crime Branch.
Sessions court has already rejected their anticipatory bail petition.
Police have said that both would be arrested once they appear before
investigating authorities as their custodial interrogation is required
to solve the mystery behind Nadia's death.

I have no idea what the purpose of the post appended below is. It appears
that in it new allegations have been leveled against Nandakumar, along
with modest praise of him. I also noticed the gratuitous inclusion of
baseless taunts against unrelated individuals, including one against a
hypothetical internet cut-and-paste scientist who has not published
anything, unlike Nandakumar. However, the pertinent question that was
raised by the smear against Nandakumar remains unanswered by this author
and the original perpetrator Augusto.
Does he deserve to be slandered as an agent of mine owners (and now,
Digambar Kamat) just because he posted two articles criticizing Arundhati
Roy on Goanet?
Cheers,
Santosh
P.S. I am beginning to realize that one characteristic of political
activism is that activists spend at least as much time fighting with each
other as for their professed cause.

uttering a word on this leave alone denouncing Digamber?s

ground and VGG took over the initiative, Nandkumar has
started raising Land Shark issues, but without blaming the

Dear Eddie,
That you also subscribe to the view about foreigners is encouraging.
Standing up for the truth is my duty.
Taking the villages of Socorro and Ucasaim in Bardez, one can see the
restoration work of the old houses undertaken by foreigners. Some of them
have beautifully assimilated themselves into the village culture, but some
others have kept aloof. But the same happens with Delhiwallas,
Mumbaiwallahs, Marwadis, Malyalees, Telegus and Gujaratis. For that matter
we could see that happening with Goans in Bombay of the past. All that the
Government needs to be alert when it comes to foreigners is about their
drug
links, drug parties and child abuse.
It is the areas like Morjim, Anjuna, Chapora, Arambol that the government
must be concerned about. Here the Russians and the Israelis have so to say
established their own colonies and local governments. That cannot be
accepted at any cost.
It is the Delhi and Mumbai real estate wallahs and politicians that have a
cancerous mentality which has destroyed the local culture and environment
in
every part of this country they have stepped into. The Manipuiris did a
fabulous job by regaining the economic controls from the marwadis in the
seventies and eighties.
Hope Goans will open their eyes to invest their time and energies in the
right places.

Comments:
Dear Mr. Kakodkar, Sir,
This master piece of yours, I read a couple of times over and I must say
that you have hit the nail on the very important head and accurately too.
As far as Nandkumar Kamats and Oscars of Goa are concerned, all I want to
do
is to remind them of the word 'Loyola', as a teacher, said to Francis
Xavier, the student, in the latter's quest for worldliness.
" WHAT WILL IT BENEFIT YOU TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR SOUL ???"
In the same manner, I have always been posing this big question to our
Goan
heroes above and/or otherwise.
'WHAT WILL IT BENEFIT YOU TO GAIN THE MOST DAZZLING TITLES AND ACCOLADES
WHEN YOU HAVE LOST YOUR DEAR DEAR GOA???"
Thank you Mr. Rajendra Kakodkar for giving me the opportunity to say what
I
have said.
Cheers
floriano

Perhaps with Nachiketas, came a higher-level of introspection. Perception
does not come easy to most. Good minds continue ripening with age, and
certainly in Goa. So, the best minds in Goa, may only try again and again
to
see those of failing minds and hearts, see and respond better.
Bless all those who are on the ground in Goa and have made it their place
to
take the hits.
Bless Rajendra Kakodkar. Bless Dr. Nandakumar Kamat. Bless all Goans.
Nachiketa learned from Yama. May others rise too, and erase their pasts;
pray for the ability to perceive, the ability to self-reflect. Or. giddily
face their own Yemkond. We need a Garuda Purana 2 for Goa.

There is room for excusing Nandkumar for his silence. The arrival of
Nachiketas and experience and enjoyment of his initial growth coincided
and
might have kept Nandkumar occupied. And no one intends to deprive him of
that enjoyment and experience. Hopefully he now finds more time for his
passion ? good of Goa. And being one of the person at the apex of Goan
social cause he is expected to hit the bull?s eye (most nagging issues)
and
does not stray in less critical areas, which he can leave (or be a guide)
for new-comers to try their hands with.
While Nandkumar is the substance of the current discussion on Goanet,
there
are likes of Oscar, who have won many an Oscars from people of Goa for
their
impeccable love for Goa, but have later ignored the scars that their
favourite politicians inflicted on to Goa. Finally, there are limitations
as
to how far one can stretch his likings, priorties, constraints unless the
person has too many weaknesses.
