Dear Cornel, Think about it. Here is a young woman who has gone through so much and all you have to ask her is what she means by stating that "is a pure blooded Goan." It certainly is a curious remark on her part, and I surmise that she saw that as the strength that took her through those two days. Not some genetic encoding. Others in all probabbility had similar pure blooded reflections that strengthend them. I often encountered students at JJ (School of Art as well as Applied Art), or still encounter our neighbours in Chembur say "Amhi Shuddh Marathi." On simialr thoughts, the one instance when a Goan in Ahemedabad got hacked in the riots. He was the related to the current Bombay Salesian Provincial, Ivo. We arrived in Ahmedabad and were picked up by an Army jeep full of jawans and brought home. The first Goan who we encountered looked us straight in the eyes, Fr. Ivo's mother, Valentine - his brother and myself and simple said Ami Jawan. Vally and myself concluded that what our Goeankar was stating simply was -- despite this calamity we are should stay strong. We will greet each other again with this greeting, that has become a jestful ritual when we meet this September in Goa. Anyway Cornel, nothing against you but you stirred upo some old thoughts.

Unlike other communities, they linger to their mother tongues, like the Sikhs, Keralites, Tamils, but us Goans, adopt English as our lingua Franca, and very soon learn other languages in their adoptive countries.

[Goanet]Goanet Reader: Requiem for a Crocodile
Requiem for a Crocodile Reflections on recent developments on the wildlife front in Goa by V. M. de Malar [EMAIL PROTECTED] A young marsh crocodile died from a bullet wound early this week, in Siolim. No one knows who shot it, or why; the corpse was simply found lying in the fields. It was sizeable, around six feet long, and children had fun posing for photographs with the inert jaw propped open. In the newspaper photo you can see all the characteristic attributes of the "mugger"; broad snout, tail with two series of scales merging into one, webbed toes. A ferocious hunter in water, this one got caught out on land and paid the price. But how did this beast get to Siolim in the first place? Are there crocodiles up and down the Chapora River? Is this mugger a loner who made a solitary journey far away from its natural habitat, or merely one of many crocs which have always lived in Siolim but never bothered to add their names to that village's list of resident luminaries? The sad truth is that we don't know, that we have barely any idea of what lurks in our rivers and jungles. Even as our ecosystem comes under threat from unchecked urbanization and development, we find ourselves ignorant of what we have and stand to lose. How many of us know that Goa lies adjacent to a globally significant ecological "hotspot"? International scientists have picked out twenty-five zones around the world, totalling a mere 1.4 per cent of the world land surface but home to half of existing plant species and 30 per cent of vertebrates. These are reservoirs of biodiversity, the most precious natural reserves left. India has two; the North East and the Western Ghats. Both are endangered and shrinking, comprehensively underexplored and badly understood. An illustration of this is the very recent discovery of a new large-sized macaque species in Arunachal Pradesh; scientists have only to barely scratch the surface of the jungle and a major unknown animal saunters out. In Goa, of course, we know next to nothing about our own biodiversity despite our small size, and despite the presence of quite a large scientific corps. The only thing we can really be sure of is that species are dying out without being recorded because natural habitats are torn down to make place for our burgeoning population. We also know that rapacious bulldozers are on the move in territory that has never been properly studied, and what we lose now is irreplaceable. Kerala is way ahead in understanding its natural patrimony; they're constantly carrying out studies to catalogue biodiversity, and they are predictably discovering all kinds of new things. Recently, for example, students of Sacred Heart College in Ernakulam carried out a spider survey in nearby mangroves and found an astounding three new species in just 2.5 hectares. Similar findings were reported from a far more comprehensive study of freshwater fish conducted by the School of Industrial Fisheries, which recorded dozens of specimens that nobody knew swam in Kerala waters. Improbable but true; one of these new findings happened to be the mahseer. And what's more, another Himalayan fish was found swimming way down South in waters which were thought to have no connection with the far North. In order to help explain these findings, the old and radical Satpura hypothesis is being re-examined anew. It's an idea proposed in 1949, by an ichthyologist named Hora, who claimed that there must be a contigual corridor of evergreen forest cover that stretches between what we now call India's biodiversity hotspots. In effect, that means that the North East and the Western Ghats could be connected, that they might be interlinked. That means that Goa is also most likely tied into a complex ecological system that stretches thousands of miles into the Himalayas, and we might be able to prove this via more research. Our universities should take note of that Ernakulam study and emulate it, our forest officials should call in the School for Industrial Fisheries just as Kerala did, we should formulate a Biodiversity Corps in our schools; we need to have a top-to-bottom cataloguing of our biodiversity before it's too late. Just like it's too late to find out more about that croc that went for a fatal walk in the moonlight in Siolim.

[Goanet]Migrant Labor in Goa � A Problem? (Daryl Martyris, in The Future of Goa)
Paper on http://www.supergoa.com/pt/read/news_future.asp?c_news=503 Part of THE FUTURE OF GOA initiative http://www.supergoa.com/pt/read/news_ultimas.asp?type=4 There is a growing perception among Goans that the influx of "outsiders" from other Indian states is dilluting Goan identity and destabilizing social and religious harmony. In this brilliant paper, Daryl Martyris addresses the roots of the problem and proposes several intelligent and straight-forward solutions to tackle the issue - respecting the interests of all. Daryl Martyris recently graduated with a Masters degree in Public Administration and International Development from Harvard University. He currently works for the US Federal Government in Washington DC. Some quotes: "Though, migrant labor is essential for many sectors of the Goan economy, the volume of migration has triggered a growing volume of protest from native Goans over the impact it is having on the economic and social fabric of the State." "The problem arises from the fact that above-average growth-rates and high levels of human development have not translated into employment (or suitable employment) for many local Goans. Consequently large numbers of educated Goan youth migrate out of Goa in search of jobs every year." "For example, with just 2 colleges of engineering with an intake capacity of 580 students, Goa allows 60-70 seats for out-of-state students. On the other hand a state like Karnataka with 47 engineering colleges allows just 25 seats for out-of-state students." "While increased access to education and the low status associated with agricultural labor have caused a shift away from traditional agriculture, changes in the structure of social institutions have also contributed to a loss in the means to pursue traditional means of livelihood. Prior to 1961, for centuries the institution of the Communidade was the local model of governance." "Residential stability is usually associated with greater civic engagement and trust is higher among those who have interacted for a long period of time and have established cooperative relations. Creating a network of social relations and building trust takes time, and some relations and experiences (e.g., those with family and childhood friends) cannot be recreated." "The proportion of Catholics has decreased due to higher relative out-migration of Catholics, and higher relative in-migration of Hindus. One common, though unsubstantiated perception in the Catholic community is that the community, which once dominated the administrative bureaucracy, is now discriminated against in allotment of government jobs."

Having participated and led several social and environmental struggles in Goa, from 1974 till date, he is presently a member of the United Goans Democratic Party. He has been in Europe, America and Asia and shares strong bonds with Goa's Diaspora. This is the conversation we had in December 2003 in his office in Cortalim. Some quotes: "For us democracy is to achieve power" "We have no more role models to be proud of" "too many Goans will die of fear" "regional parties have better knowledge and feelings about the state" "Goans have no collective feeling and pride" "I will contest again" "If Goa becomes great, then I become great" "I wish I could help (Goans abroad) to come back and settle here" Full interview: http://www.supergoa.com/pt/read/news_future.asp?c_news=487
[Goanet]Goanet Reader: Of a charter, political agendas and caste rivalry in Goa
OF A CHARTER, POLITICAL AGENDAS AND CASTE RIVALRY IN GOA Indo-Portuguese historian Dr Teotonio R de Souza reviews a book that studies the 'Foral' or the Charter of Rights and Obligations granted by the Portuguese administration to native Goans in 1526. But there's more than history here, says the reviewer. --- As Políticas Portuguesas na India e o Foral de Goa [The Portuguese Policies in Goa and the Charter of Goa] Valentino Viegas Lisboa Livros Horizonte 2005 pp.125 --- Reviewed by Teotonio R. de Souza [EMAIL PROTECTED] Courtesy Goa Research Net This book was released at the Casa de Goa, Lisbon, by Dr. Nuno Gonçalves, a grandson of the last Portuguese governor-general of Goa till 1961. After two initial chapters covering the story of the Portuguese arrival in India, and their use of force whenever cultural and economic conflicts did not permit a more peaceful control of the trade in the Indian Ocean, from page 45, the book takes up the study of the 'Foral' or the Charter of Rights and Obligations granted by the Portuguese administration to native Goans in 1526. Author Viegas states that some earlier historians like Filipe Nery Xavier Cunha Rivara and this reviewer (Teotonio de Souza) utilised the versions available in Goa and did not care to consult the "original". He comes to the conclusion that a version available at the National Archives of Lisbon is not the "original" but only a "registo", which he decided to transcribe in Chapter IV (pp. 85-93), modernizing the text in a way that hardly helps anyone to read it better or more usefully. A facsimile reproduction alongside the transcription would have been more useful for an informed and critical reader. Unfortunately this unhelpful transcription is accompanied by a less helpful genealogy and analysis of this manuscript version of the 'Foral' available at the National Archives of Lisbon in 'Gavetas 20-10-13'. The author does not mention, and obviously does not correct the reference to it in 1964, as the 'original' by Carlos Renato Gonçalves Pereira (*História da Administração da Justiça no Estado da India - Séc. XVI*, Vol. I, Lisboa, 1964, p. 89, n. 6 with reference to *Gavetas 20-10-30*). This happened about 10 years before this Lisbon version was published in 'As Gavetas da Torre do Tombo', Lisboa, Centro de Estudos Históricos Ultramarinos, 1975, Vol. XI, pp. 19-28. The same version was transcribed somewhat freely more than a century earlier by Manuel José Gomes Loureiro, 'Memórias dos Estabelecimentos Portuguezes a l’este do Cabo de Boa Esperança', Lisboa, 1835. One of the clauses missing in his transcription is curiously the same that is missing in the presently edited version of Valentino Viegas! The language style and the missing parts suggest it to be an early draft, rather then a developed or final version critically edited by Cunha Rivara by comparing three different texts that he could find in Goa. He published it in 'Archivo Portuguez-Oriental', Fasc. V, doc. 58. Baden-Powell translated from there and was used by me in *Medieval Goa*, Delhi, 1979. Valentino Viegas makes no reference to the published version of Manuel José Gomes Loureiro, nor to another published by A. Lopes Mendes, 'A India Portugueza', II, Lisboa, 1886, pp. 180-198, based on Cunha Rivara’s APO version. What appears more grave is the lack of methodological rigour in his selective use of some passages from the Portuguese edition of my 'Goa Medieval' (1993), and for uncritically citing on p. 119 (n.154) a truncated (printing error) footnote to score a point, without caring to check the correct information in the corresponding main text (p. 57) or the correct version of the same footnote in the English original (p. 67, n. 21). While referring to the fact that 'Goa Medieval' (1979) used the English translation of B.H. Baden-Powell, fails to note that Baden-Powell translated it from the version of Cunha-Rivara which the author ends up admitting as the best and most useful surviving version p. 46. He even resorts to it to complete the missing words in his own damaged manuscript version of the Lisbon archives. At the end of all this effort one is left wondering about what new contribution this book has made to our knowledge of Goa's history. The last Chapter has the key. What appears to be original in this book is the politicisation of history in Chapter V (pp. 95-105), the concluding chapter of the book. The author, a Goan, belongs to the wave of Goans who opted to leave Goa and settle in Portugal soon after 1961, rather than accept the integration into India. Possibly now, in the wake of developments in Timor, the author may have developed fresh ideas and some courage (from the safe dis

At a recent SYMPOSIUM on the SEZ held under yhe auspices of the GCCI & Diocesan Social Action Centre at Panaji, a Botany Lecturer of Goa University, after admitting that he had not read the SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES ACT, nonetheless went on to rave and rant about the undesirability of SEZs for Goa!!! Another legal worthy who was on the dais also admitted that he had not read the SEZ ACT but had cursorily leafed through the BILL overnight,nonetheless went on to deliver a resounding speech denouncing the SEZ!! The moderator who titles himself as a "Development Consultant" did nothing to moderate these loudmouths who of their own admission were ignorant of the SEZ Act. And sitting through it all, besides the sparse audience, was the Representative of His Excellency Archbishop of Goa & Patriach of the East Indies!! A legislator known for his " environmental agitations" that catapulted him into the Goa Assembly,(where promptly he lost his voice!) who was in the audience was seen lustily clapping during/after the SPEECH by the University Don! The GCCI however did a professional sales pitch for the SEZ. Though I am in favour of SEZs in Goa, I was numbed at the utter lack of preparation by the University Don and the Lawyer, and admired their "BRASHNESS" Should not such people, even if they are GOANS be held up to ridicule? Should not the Organisers of such PARODIES also be held up to ridicule? Should not the audience-- bar one_-- who protested also be held up to ridicule?
