Clinton Vaz did provide Velip's number. This would put the onus on Rama Velip to provide his tormentors number. On the other hand I had posted on Goanet saying that Sebastian Rodrigues could provide the number, in a sense asking him. No response. Perhaps it has to do with Sebastian's own reality, depite the fact that he posted this piece on Goanet, employing Secret Police in the headline as well maintaining it on his blog. Perhaps he knows something that we do not, and hence used Secret Police, and perhaps others have not responded for reasons including keeping away for other reasons including the sheer use of secret police and being associated with this discrepancy. Perhaps they too know something or see the issue differently. You rightly mention coffe tables and platitudes, and I believe I was perhaps the only one responding from afar other than you, so hope that my remarks were not taken to be dull or trite which is what we know a platitude to mean. And for that matter, I for one do not own a coffe table, but do try to do what I can as is apparent of my small offering to fight litigation at MandGoa/Gakuved. Right now I am also working on getting a new phone carrier, besides the fact that I hardly call India now, and that too only if I have to talk sense into people, or if I encounter someone new. Consideringg all that I do (ongoing studies and preparing for a show in Mumbai) and as my side settles down a bit, I will talk at some point to Mr. Velip, but may or may not post that conversation. A bit about myself: In India, I majored in design/illustration for social issues, after studying the customary advertising (Applied Art), and carried it to the U.S. (studying Communication Design/ ComputerGraphics) choosing to work in Production as opposed to designing for advertising, although I do this in an advertising agnecy. This is inspite of being very qualified and in my own way I stayed the course of my convictions, and still work on soically-conscious projects including having designed logos for PWESCR, Delhi and NYTWA, New York, HIMAL South Asia, etc. I would have been in India if my 3rd class (for whatever reasons) while at JJ, after earlier State Ranks, was overlooked at IDC, IIT Powai in whose Design Aptitude Exam I had the second highest percentile (by only appearing for one out of two sections on account of heavy rains, we went off the road--I had to say that) in the nation, but I was denied an interview. Hem mhojem jivit. Anyway, some of us have already paid some very interesting prices bro, and the bit above is the least of it. But over the years I have learnt a lot about Goans on Goanet (NOT directed at you). venantius j pinto Message: 3 Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:24:45 +0530 From: Ashley D'silva ashleyivordsi...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Goanet] Goanet] Goa's Secret Police Harass Rama Ref : Goa's Secret Police Harass Rama Velip Nobody has bothered to reply .

Re: [Goanet] Goa's Secret Police Harass Rama Velip
There is no way of reasonably confirming or excluding the harassment charge. No way of knowing who is/was upto what. Remember now ...not everybody who sad he as a Freedom Fighter can honestly state that he wasn't just another gunda or opportunist. Sure there were genuine ones but not all of them. So, I will learn from St Thomas - and not believe until I hear more independent verification. But, if what is alleged is true, it matters little if (a) They are secret or not (b) Whether other democracies have similar units or not If there is Harassment - then Gabriel is spot on. I would not necessarily ask o senhor Carambolim to turn up.

Samir's idea is sharp and implementable--and should be appreciated. Thanks Samir. Perhaps also the address of the Police Station. Even if letters were written and cced to the media, the chances of embarassing or rendering human -- Shri Phaldessai is quite high. ++ It is disheartening, whenever I am in Goa, hearing people talk big things about change and koko meme--very little is said in terms of doing ones mite--that little bit that could make one a better person. NOTE: I am largely talking of those of us who live abroad.

Dear Goa' netters, It would help if all en- mass email the concerned police dept and its head, Goa CM and the Home Ministry, collector etc and swamp them with emails that will jam the whole line forcing them to take cognizance action against this harassment to Rama. Some years back when some smart guy opened a restaurant and named it 'Hitler' in Kharghar- Navi Mumbai, the Jewish community from all over the world used this tactic and simply laid Mantralaya low forcing the C.M to immediately react in minutes - fall out was that they did not want a bad name and labeled as fascist. So therefore somebody get the details for their emails and put it up on the net and start acting rather than tossing mails around - let all the mails be directed to the Govt and the Governor.
