Falacy No 1: Their motivation came from the fact that the catholic community was preferring private English schools in preference to church run Konkani schools, a genuine reason.
Falacy No: 2 "But unfortunately it happened just a year before the scheduled legislative assembly elections. It also coincided with the talks of an early election and stalwarts preparing for elections by starting to distribute goodies, pilgrimage tours and announcing their family members & supporters as Congress candidates." Falacy No. 3 This gradual takeover of FORCE by Congress politicians belonging to one community, going back on the assurance in the Legislative Assembly to maintain status quo and forcing the decision on the Congress MLAs belonging to Hindu community by making it look like a High Command diktat, were the right political ammunition for any opposition." Falacy No. 4 "That the demand for English MoI came from a small section of coastal people dominated by catholics and Church run schools was a god sent opportunity for the vanquished BJP to resurrect itself. The sentimental issues like perceived cultural neglect & relegation of Konkani made many a secular Hindus and Congress supporters to denounce the policy and side with the BBSM. The overwhelming majority in the vast expanses of the seven talukas, erstwhile known as the new conquests and the city dwelling Hindus in the old conquests want this policy withdrawn." Mega Contradiction No. 1 "It is not that these people who oppose Enlish primary MoI, do not like English. They quite well know the importance of English and the career benefits thereof. They want their children to be the masters of English and not slaves. For many, English MoI by ditching our heart throb Konkani was pride insulting." Mega Contradiction No. 2: "The mining Rape of Goa that the Digamber Kamat government presided over, has had affected the people of new conquests, who are the people in the forefront of pro-Konkani-Marathi camp. These people had wholeheartedly supported and played their part to support anti-Regional Plan agitations that affected the people in the old conquests. But, neither the people of old conquests nor the church supported the agitations against mining, the biggest ever evil in Goa. Whenever mining affected people agitated in Panjim or Margao, the apathy shown by the locals there is resented amongst the affected. It is only because they are less educated, less important and less outspoken, and the media is with the miners, these feelings have not reached the elite west." Falacy No. 5 " The liberal and patriotic Goans are patiently watching these trends. But depending on their patience bearing limit, individuals are forced to desert their secular stance and present themselves as a countervailing force against the greater evil of cession." Falacy No. 7 "An impression is created that every election, the church takes a political stance and influences catholic voters by announcing at the mass in a veiled manner. Church involvement in English MoI is being perceived by liberal Hindus and even Muslims as an attempt to emphasize its authority over the congress High Command and a veiled direction to vote for the congress, despite being extremely corrupt." Coverup No. 1 "Economic and Social policies of BJP are no different from Congress. The difference is the perceived threats of communalism v/s corruption & mal-administration. Cover up No. 2 : " If the new dimension of cession gets added to corruption, a large section of Hindus might consider communalism as lesser evil and opt for BJP." Falacy No. 8 "The trend in supporting Konkani on the basis of securing Indian-ness is more predominant amongst youth and could be the harbinger of a paradigm shift in the way Goan politics could evolve in the years to come, unless sane politicians, religious leaders and intellectuals intervene to take corrective actions.
