All goans applaud him. Under the Presidentship of Pundalik Naik the GKA has made all facilities available to Konkani writes IRRESPECTIVE of the SCRIPT, in the true spirit of the 71st Amendment ot the Constitution of India passed on 20 August, 1992 and celebrated worldwide as WORLD GOA DAY. It is a pity that the organisers cannot rise above the script issues and continue to write pro-Devanagri in the entirely Roman script magazine! Talk about ingratitude. Eduardo Faleiro keeps harping on the need to make all Sunday services [or Mass] in Konkani by misinterpreting the Vatican-II documents. It has been clarified during the Kannada Chaluvali agitation in Karnataka in the early 1980s that the "Language of the People" in the Vatican documents has nothing to do with the "Official Language of the State" but, rather, refers to the language understood by the "congregation of the faithfull" in the church at a given time. When there are so many Christians in Goa who do not follow the Archdiocesan dialect of Konkani or, being domestic or foreign tourists, are not familiar with Konkani at all, why deny them participation in mass and make them into mute spectators? In Bengalooru or Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, more masses are conducted in Tamil, Konkani and English than in the official language Kannada even today. Eduardo Faleiro's Konkani chauvinism is not in sync with the Vatican just as his Devanagri for Konkani education is not in sync with the ground reality in Goa today. He could, of course, conduct his NRI Commission work exclusively in official Konkani [in Devanagri script as per the law in force] and see how far he can get with it. Remember to celebrate WGD on 20 August, 2008. Konkani turns a sweet sixteen years of age in the Constitution of India. It was notified in the Official Gazette of India on 31 August, 1992. No script ...only Konkani. Mog asundi.
