To Goanet -
There is chatter in Panjim that the Herald knew about the report
concerning Monserrate and Suryanarayana, the one that was eventually
published by Devika Sequeira in Deccan Herald.
Is this true?
If it is, will all the Goan columnists of Herald, such as Oscar Rebello and
others, demand an explanation from the editor? And if none if forthcoming,
are they prepared to take on the media corruption in the state?
For that matter, has any other Goan paper reported this news?
Some time back Ms Sequeira also brought to light the blackmail of
Goa's Chief Minister by Tehelka's Tejpal. That story went down a black
hole like every other scandal in Goa/India.
How come Goan patracars had NOTHING to say on these stories?
Now regarding Suryanarayana - here is a bhaillo who pitches his
tent in Goa and starts selling off chunks of Goan land to sharks all over
the country and outside of it (with generous support of some Goan scum).
I have observed these leeches ever since I was young. In those
days, the spoils of loot were petty by today's standards. But the cultural
dynamics haven't changed a bit. Any outsider can walk into Goa and
lord it over, no questions asked. No Goan would be tolerated doing
the same in Suryanarayana's home state of Andhra Pradesh.
And as I wrote in my earlier post, there are many Suryanarayans in
today's Goa.
