Church Statement on Goa=92s Political Situation=0A=0AI think that the state=
ment is well timed and extremely well written. I agree fully with the conte=
nts and see no reason why anybody should disagree. Apparently Rico disagree=
s and would prefer that corruption and defections continue in the State. W=
ell as a journalist, defections would keep him busy no doubt as at such tim=
es there is always lots to write about, but one has to look at the broader =
picture. Corruption is rampant in the State from the highest to the lowest =
levels so there does exist a need to check this. The Diocesan Service Centr=
e for Social Action has been in the forefront of various social causes and =
their statement has summarized the situation and also provided some guideli=
nes to the voters. All they are asking is that the voter make a conscientio=
us choice. What=92s in this to disagree about? Infact the more publicity th=
at is given to this statement from the Centre the better it will be. =0A=0A=

Dear Eddie,
Thanks for your thoughts.
Allow me to add a few words here.
Let me give due where it is due.
The following in your post isn't entirely true.
EDDIE FERNANDES 1:[Neither GoaNet nor your website are
named in the article. Is it too much to expect?]
JC 1: The article actually says the
following:(<CAPS)[Another expat Goan, Dr Jose Colaco
of Velim, now based in the Bahamas, comments on his
WWW.COLACO.NET website thus: "As we stepped out on to
the Dabolim tarmac......]
I agree with you re: the following with regards to the
Dabolim article.:
EDDIE FERNANDES 2[... signing the article. Policy
with regard to this will vary from one newspaper to
another. Even within a newspaper it varies according
to the status of the writer and other factors.
Journalists will generally prefer to sign their
articles except when they are criticising goons and
politicians because then they risk life and limb. They
have my sympathy for having to operate in an
intimidating environment.]
JC 2: However, here is another Raulistic post, a post
in which Raul is being accused of MASSAGING the TRUTH
the entire text including the segment posted to me
from California by the Great Swami Goananda is at the
following url http://www.colaco.net/1/siddhi.htm
It is my belief that RAUL needs to answer the query
put to him
This is an area of contention. It is Raul's
credibility at stake. We ALL need to know if this chap
or chappie is reliable or not!
good wishes
jc for TGF

400 YEARS LATER SIDDHIS STILL KEEP KONKANI CLOSE TO
HEART
Unidentified author
NAVHIND TIMES February 11, 2002 Page 3
Nearly 400 years ago, when the British had abolished
slavery, the Africans were brought to Goa by the
Portuguese for various types of work, but they left
Goa and settled at the Yellapur district in Karwar out
of sheer fear of torture from Portuguese. When the
Siddhis left Goa they took Konkani language on their
tongue, which is still preserved in their community.
This was stated by the leader of the Yellapur Siddhi
Sanskritik Mand, Mr Mingual Anton Siddhi, who
presented a Siddhi dance at the Konkani Sangeet
Sammelan, at Fatorda this afternoon.

#3. The conclusion we have to reach is that Mr Siddhi
NEVER mentioned the Portuguese in his statements and
that, what was written by your Staff Reporter are
inferences of HIS OWN MAKING.
#5. The question remains: WHY did your Staff Reporter
INVENT statements that were not there and try to
present history this way?

I add one more question: WHO is this unidentified
writer / journalist from the Navhind Times? Not
another "Raul", I hope

Subject: [Goanet] 24 hours left for Mothers' Day orders
Just a reminder that on 7th May 2002 at 6 p.m.(IST) EXPRESSIONS will stop
taking orders for the Mothers' Day package .
The special Commemorative Mementos are dated '12th May 2002' and hence we
have to order an exact amount, as they cannot be used again. The printing
and baking process of these fine bone china ceramic items takes 4 days
hence we will not be accepting orders beyond 7th May.
If your mother is in Goa remember....
12th May is Mothers' Day
7th May is the last day to order our special Mothers' Day package
Details of package at

Subject: [Goanet] Re: [The Goan Forum d-list] Re: Rauls, neo-Rauls and revisionism
Further to those past posts,
1. The British passed a law in 1807 declaring buying, selling and
transporting slaves illegal. But ownership of slaves continued legal.
2. Only in 1834, the British passed a law declaring ownership of slaves
illegal. And it was only in 1834 that slavery was abolished throughout the
British Empire.
Unfortunately, NT has loads of "Raul" type reporters, ready for any
opportunity to make up stories and invent history to fulfil their own
objectives and keep the "freedom-fighter" concept/idea very much alive.
That does not surprise me anymore.
What really surprises me is that these kind of articles still manage to pass
through the NT Editor's eyes and get approval to be published.
Isn't the Editor supposed to check the articles that get published ?
Surely if an article contains inaccuracies, it should fail to be published,
right ?
Best regards,
Paulo Colaco Dias.
