Well said amigo Bernado! As a matter of fact Mao's Road to Socialism was adopted by late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (1961 Goa's so called "liberation") and then inherited by his daughter late Indira Gandhi ( both Congress; because of whom we Goans have lost our paddy fields (land to the tiller) and properties taken over by the mundkars.
Some of the properties have been lying in the courts for as many as three decades. I have known many Goans who have come out of Goa with empty hands. We Goans should learn to be slow in criticising the new government and generous in praising. The budget has shown the intentions of the government. Those who criticise should have stood for election and not act like a whinging pomes. Amche Geom amkam Koresh zai! Oscar C.

Message-ID: <1332994442.28757.yahoomail...@web28505.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 In the late seventies my friends from Don Bosco would talk a lot about a Prof who had revolutionary ideas to help the people of Goa. His classes I believe were always filled with these stories. Later Matani came out to fight for various causes. The main one was the opposition to mechanical fishing vis a vis traditional fishing. Then there was the agitation against the Meta Strips etc. In Cuba and in the early 50's an Argentnian Doctor by the name of Ernesto Che Guevara fought side by side with the Cuban Revolution. Che used the AK, while Matani used ahimsa and satyagraha methods to achieve their goals. Both men also made mistakes Che tried to suppress the Catholic church while Matani tried to shoot from the shoulder of the BJP ( a fascist group). ? There is a third chap in the scene. Mao said revolution starts with the barrel of a gun. These are not pipedreams. ? Amchem Goem amkam zai! ?
