Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two catholic youths got butchered on the streets of bombay at the hands of slumlords & political goons and the Bishop is still quiet but what can one expect from spineless bishops the past/present/future bishops appointed for bombay never dare to speakup against the slumlords & political goons………from 1960 onwards around 5000 catholics in bombay have been attacked by slumlords & political goons some of these catholics did not survive more than 90% of these attacks were related to land related issues…….since catholics are non-violent & unarmed and will not retaliate with a vengenance due to which the slumlords & political goons have taken advantage of the catholics….….but what is more shameful is that no foreign funded catholic missionaries bothers to offer financial help to the families of the catholics who are attacked by slumlords & political goons the only thing the catholic missionaries are interested is in utilizing their foreign funds for serving the non-catholics living in slums in order to convert them. Christian Catholic Clergy & Missionaries should stop wasting church wealth, church funds, money recvd from sale of vacant church properties & foreign donations on fraudulent & allurement conversion activities……instead the church wealth, funds & foreign donations should be utilized in providing financial assistance to poor catholic families…….financial assistance to those catholic youth who want to become doctors engineers IAS/IPS officers etc……..and financial assistance to those catholic youth who want to become self-employed…..and financial assistance to those catholics who want to repair their old dilapidated houses………and financial assistance to unemployed catholic youth……..and financial assistance to those catholics who are sick and cannot afford doctor & hospital fees……..and financial assistance to all the needy and poor catholics………the SAD part is the catholic clergy/missionaries are not under the control of the lay catholics due to which the demands of the lay catholics is not of any relevance to the catholic clergy/missionaries in India. Look at the Jain Community whatever gold coins, diamonds, silver, foodgrains, sugar, ghee, money, etc the wealthy jains donate to the jain temples the caretakers of the jain temples redistribute the gold coins, diamonds, silver, money, etc to the poor jains this way the wealth of the jains remains within the jain community no wonder the jain community is the richest community in India. Some Mangalorean Konkani Catholic Associations in Bombay/Vasai are doing an excellent job in utilizing church parish halls in providing some basic training to those mangalorean catholic youth who are interested in becoming IAS/IPS officers………eastindian associations which are only interested in organizing singing competitions & food festivals should learn a few things from the mangalorean associations. The Indian govt. is going to pump Rs. 64000 crore to setup more troops & battalions at the China border……the Indian govt. is most welcome to setup the troops & battalions but it would be very nice of the govt. to print 64000 crore extra currency notes instead of burdening the common man with more taxes, fuel hikes, etc. Today India would have been a developed country if the Indian govt. & State govts. in the past had strictly enforced the two child policy and passed stringent laws against corruption – female foeticide/infanticide – communal/casteists forces - divisive politicians – land grabbers – black money, etc etc etc AND improved the infrastructure, industries & job opportunities in rural & backward districts…….BUT it’s late now……there are 300 million Indians who are struggling with Rs.20/- a day and with population rising expect more poor people more crimes more water shortage more housing problems more transport problems more food shortage more land shortage etc etc etc. 150 years back the native catholics in bombay known by the name EastIndians ( www.bombayland.blogspot.com ) possessed most of the lands in bombay……but 90% of the eastindians were reduced to a status of backward class because they lost all their ancestral lands in bombay to the british raj, Indian govt, maharashtra govt, bmc, collectorsoffice, slumlords, landmafia, righwinghindugroups, political groups, buildersmafia, mmrda, mhada……..and due to Alcoholism, Infighting & Jealousy the 90% eastindians have become more poor………the other 10% eastindians in bombay who were able to save some of their lands became wealthy by selling away their lands 1980 onwards to the builders lobby…….these 10% wealthy eastindians have no interest in helping the other 90% poor eastindians.........and since eastindians ( www.east-indians.com ) are christians it is not easy to get jobs in bombay and since the catholic clergy have programmed the eastindians to remain non-combative, non-ambitious, non-aggressive, susegaad, dormant, politically inactive due to which eastindians are not in a position to demand reservations of 5% in government jobs in bombay.
