International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Mr Wilson Mazarello, What else, can we expect with communalists like Udhay Bhembre. Nagesh Karmali. N. Shivdas, Dilip Borkar, Prashant Naik etc.who are working overtime in their 'mission" to eliminate the minorities? To make it worse, these communalists are openly backed by major political parties in their so called "mission" to eliminate the minorities. So writes Wilson Mazarello.... I would strongly refute the claim that Adv Udhay Bhembre is a communialist...i have know Uday's son, Apoorva (and i think your son too will agree)... since school days and he is a dear friend of mine, i guess tiatrist like you should practice than preach. Uday Bhembre -- the great literary writer and a staunch koankanniwadi fought from the front with the KPA, during those days for the fight for the official language. So also the others you have named. Do not mix issues...Goan catholics and i myself have high regard for the literary works of Nagesh Karmali, N Shivdas and Dilip Borkar. I know Prashant Naik personally. It is not wise to term them as communalist on such a wide forum. in fact your comments smack of communalism itself and doubts your broad-mindedness. Why are we doing this? why are we not doing something to preserve communial harmony in GOA, than pointing fingers at others? what have we done in our own backyard? Its easy to compose songs proclaiming goons and smugglers as saviours and denounce others. And what political party are you talking about, one that pays you highest to sing the hosannas of smugglers and destroyers of Goa? Please may i ask you how much politics occours in your own konkanni tiatrists world? Why do you tiatrists have politics amongst yourselves? and try to undermine any young talented konkanni up coming tiatrist? why the confusion about romi and devnagri -- i recall when you came to Dubai, you acted as a pratogonist for romi konkanni, was the tiatrist fraternity, for which i have high regard sleeping when devnagri konkanni was accorded the official language status. Just because someone is trying to make it a prestige issue to safeguard his/her own sagging political interests, do not get misled by it. Devnagiri konkanni literature is as sweet as Romi! I have high regard for all your talents and have appreciated your bold stand on several issues on Goa on the konkanni stage. But let us not get to the level of labeling people like this. Mog assun dhi!
