Subject: [Goanet] Paganism in 21st Century
Miracles are for pagans. It's blind faith and being
imposed on others by all so called "religions."
Religious mechanisms begin brainwashing one since the
childbirth and eventually makes it difficult at later
years to detach from it. Eventually those who wish to
persue believing in miracles will do no justice to
fellow beings, and will not bring in economic growth
for the betterment of all.
In our great country with the largest democracy in the
world, people need economic growth, jobs, and food,
clothing and security. Let us work towards achieving
these goals. This space in valuable, so let's use it
to make our influence count on those who govern us in
our present times for a good future.

Dear Polycarpo,
How true. Do you think we might get further with a
little tolerance? After all, there might be one or two
people, in such a large democracy, whose beliefs are
not identical to yours.
Regards,
Joel Almeida

Medical pay seat bonanza for non-resident Keralites
By Sanu George, Indo-Asian News Service
Thiruvananthapuram, June 23 (IANS) Five new medical colleges in the pipeline
means good news for Kerala -- especially for non-resident Keralites (NRK)
who will get priority for 50 new seats.
The state has six medical colleges with 800 seats altogether. Only 22 of
these are reserved for NRKs.
The new five private colleges waiting for a nod from the Medical Council of
India (MCUI) are the Amritha Institute of Medical Science, Kochi, Pushpagiri
Medical College, Thiruvalla, Medical Mission Hospital, Kolencherry, Dr
Somerwell Memorial CSI Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram and the
Imam Rafi Muslim Educational Charitable Trust, Thrissur.
Each plans to start with 100 seats, of which 50 per cent would be filled on
merit. The rest would be reserved for different categories of students,
including 10 percent for NRKs.
To qualify for this 10 percent, an applicant has to be at least 17 and
related to an NRK. He or she can be a close relative like a child or sibling
or even a first cousin or nephew/niece.
If there aren't enough such applicants, the colleges will consider such kin
of foreign citizens of Kerala origin and in their absence, the kin of
non-resident, non-Keralite Indians.
The MCI has visited the proposed five colleges twice. Its permission is
expected after a third visit soon.
An official of the Dr Somerwell Memorial CSI Medical College Hospital said
they were ready to start classes and were only waiting for the MCI approval.
"Only the NRK seats are vacant, the rest has been filled," he added.
For the new pay seats, a candidate has to pay $60,000 or its equivalent in
Indian currency at the time of admission by demand draft made out to the
Commissioner for Entrance Examinations and payable at Thiruvananthapuram.
An NRK applicant has to provide a certificate to prove he is an Indian
citizen.
He also has to provide other documents like the original marksheet of the
qualifying examination, an age certificate and a declaration from an NRK
establishing their relationship.

Subject: Re: [Goanet] Darwin & Argentina
Very good George.
I cannot say I have travelled extensively in S. America.
I have been to Mexico, Brazil and travelled in Argentina (on business).
One thing very noticeable when arriving in B.A. is the almost non-existence
of non-europeans (unlike Mexico - Mexico City or Acapulco or Brazil - Rio).
What George has quoted is what I was told - systematic eradication of the
native population. This is one of the reasons that it is so popular with
White South Africans fleeing South Africa - also nazi Germans fleeing post
war Germany.
An Argentinean was described to me as:
"An Italian pretending to be English"
Also Argentineans told me that "God gave them the most beautiful country in
the world but to balance it off he gave them the Argentinean people".

Tim D'Mello & George Pinto make some very interesting
observations on the topic at hand.

Population demographics is an intriguing topic.
The present population of Goans in Goa is dwindling.
* Are they being 'systematically eradicated'?
* Are they being 'eradicated from the system'?
* Are they migrating more than ever before?
* Has the Goan death rate in Goa risen above the birth
rate?
* Are there more non-Goans coming into Goa? like every
hour!
I submit that we need to look at these factors.
Similarly, in Argentina...... the various factors for
the increased Mortality among AmerIndians after the
arrival of Europeans....and before...Arawaks vs
Caribs........... having been noted
Has the total NUMBER of AmerIndians gone down( with
the appropriate correction) in Argentina....or is it
only the case that the Immigration from Switzerland,
Germany, Israel, South Africa, Lebanon and
Italy....increased... giving Argentina the demographic
percentage of 97% Caucasians and 3% AmerIndians/
Meztizos.
BTW: the % Population of AmerIndians in Guyana is
similarly ~ 2%.
But.....the Population of (East) Indian migrants is
close to 49%
Did the immigrants from India 'systematically
eradicate' the AmerIndians?
Of course not!
But....just as Tim observed in Argentina, I could say
about Guyana or Trinidad or Suriname.
Hey.....So many Indians....but NO AMERINDIANS!

Folks,
for possibly hundreds of years, there was a tradition to burn a "Judeo"(made
of cloth and stuffed with straw and fireworks) on the feast of Sao Joao ,
which is today. I think the church was mainly responsible for putting an
end to this custom. Does anyone know how this custom originated, and did the
judeo signify Judas, or a Jew?
regards--Gilbert.

cheated for Rs.50,000 by the customer. (GT)

A ROAD DIGGING POLICY: "People are suffering silently, year after year.
More roads and highways would be built only to be dug up subsequently. Goa
would never have a culture of respecting the roads unless and until the
think tanks in the government wake up to the necessity of framing rational
and environmentally sound policy to permit the use of roads for non-traffic
purposes." (Nandkumar Kamat in Glimpses-NT)

LOK ADALAT SETTLES 7 OUT OF 31 CASES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Seven cases out of 31 were disposed off
at the permanent Lok Adalat held in the city on Saturday.
The 46th sitting of the Lok Adalat was held in the
District and Sessions Court, Panjim, wherein six motor accident
claim cases and one land acquisition case were settled.
While a compromise was reached in the land acquisition case,
the six remaining claim petitions were given various amounts
decided under the guidance of Retired District Judge,
Dr Alvaro de Noronha Fereira.
Waman Kenney. S Gawas, H D'Souza, P Gaude and S Naik,
all claiming for injuries were given Rs 70,000, Rs 1,00,000,
Rs 55,000, Rs 1,00,000 and 80,000 respectively,
while G Satodkar, claiming for death, was given Rs 4,00,000.
New India Assurance, Oriental Insurance Company,
United Insurance Company and National Insurance Company
were involved.
Justice V C Daga and Justice P V Hardas were the chief guest
and guest of honour respectively.
Justice Daga in his speech said that, "Lok Adalat is an old swadeshi
system of delivering justice and added that, our forefathers followed
the same method to settle disputes prevailing at that time."
He further said, Lok Adalat is the necessity of the time,
as the people have no time to wait for their cases
to be settled in a leisurely manner.
The very concept of Lok Adalat was evolved as the judiciary system
is very weak, felt Justice Daga, with no money, no power of the sword,
and very often no government backing. An alternative dispute resolution
technique is today internationally recognized for speedy justice, he added.
A plus point of the Lok Adalat proceeding, he felt was that,
there was no victim, all the parties go home satisfied.
He added that, it was up to the officers of the court and
members of the Bar to make the Lok Adalat proceedings a success.
He also felt that, the members of the Bar were under an obligation
to see that, the maximum number of cases possible were settled
through the Lok Adalat.
Judge A D Salkar, chairman of the North Goa District
Legal Services Authority, and District and Sessions Judge,
welcomed the gathering, and gave a brief history of the Lok Adalat.
He felt that, though efforts are being made to bring about settlements
amicably outside the court, people were still not coming forward
voluntarily to settle their disputes. He also felt that, awareness
about this should be created among the people.
G K Tamba, lecturer at the Salgaocar College of Law,
officiated as the master of ceremonies, while
Advocates Amrut Kansar and Albertina Almeida
were also present on the dais.
