[Goanet] Goa: Gross assault on academic and individual freedom by right-wing forces
--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- In an unprecedented action, constituting a gross assault on academic and individual freedom, the Goa administration, after threats and allegations by right-wing elements, through an order passed by the Margao SDM and Electoral Returning Officer, Derek Neto, stopped a public talk on "Communal Threats to Secular Democracy in India" by noted speaker and advocate of secularism, Prof. Ram Puniyani. This talk was taking place in collaboration with Kare Law College, Margao, and on the premises of the college. Gomantak Times, Editorial, 26/05/07 Conniving cops Margao must say 'no' to communal forces May 26 2007 How dangerous are people like IIT Professor Ram Puniyani, woman activist and lawyer Albertina Almeida, and Ramesh Gauns? Can they single-handedly start a riot in Margao? Can they provoke the citizens of Margao into taking law into their own hands? Can they, with their speeches incite the people of Margao into a communal frenzy? Can they create a situation where Margao will have to be closed down for two days? Can they generate enough communal tension for a mob to run amok damaging vehicles and shops like in Sanvordem and Curchorem? Does the police and the sub divisional magistrate expect us to believe that a lecture on "Communal Threats to Secular Democracy in India" would hurt the sentiments of people in Margao and cause them to disrupt life in the city? One only has to go through the sequence of events to know how one person, by force of threat, coerced the state authorities into stopping a perfectly legitimate meeting organised by the Citizen's Initiative for Communal Harmony (CICH) in association with the Goan Ramnath Kare Law College in Margao. Albertina Almeida and Ramesh Gauns were the convenors of this lecture which never took place thanks to the conniving police of Margao. We laud the courage of the management of Kare Law College who, inspite of severe pressure from fundamentalist forces in Margao to cancel the lecture, opted to pursue the agenda of peace and harmony. After Sanvordem and Curchorem, the communal forces in the state have shifted their attention to Margao because they believe that the only way to defeat Digamber Kamat is by polarising the vote of the majority community. An attempt was made some weeks back when these communal forces used the new market vendors to close down the city for two days on a flimsy reason that a girl of the majority community was eve teased in the market by a member of the majority community. Thursday's decision of the Margao police to halt the lecture will only encourage these communal forces. What is distressing is that the police, instead of providing protection to the forces of peace, succumbed to the legend of hate and stopped the meeting. Worse still, even when no complaint was filed by the cowardly communal forces, the police inspector of Margao, ordered the PSI to lodge a complaint on behalf of the state on grounds that it was cleared by the higher ups. And what was the basis of this complaint? The basis was one sentence in a pamphlet outlining the conviction of the CICH. The offending sentence reads as follows: "The ideology of the right-wing Hindutva has been growing at a furious pace leading to a feeling of insecurity among minorities." When an election observer in North Goa requests a police officer to lodge complaint for wrongful use of a car in campaigning, the cops refuse on grounds that the observer has to first file a complaint. However, in Margao, the police go out of their way to lodge a complaint against a peaceful gathering of people dedicated to preserving communal harmony in the state. This is the third time that communal forces in the state have been allowed to get away with their agenda of hate and segregation. The first time was when the Congress government slept on the magisterial inquiry report on the riots in Curchorem and Sanvordem; the second time was when these forces were allowed to close down Margao city for two days and the third occasion occurred on Thursday when the police and sub divisional magistrate, instead of confronting these vested interests succumbed to their threats. The people and voters of Margao are now at crossroads – one route will lead them into the crushing embrace of communal forces, while the second will strengthen the traditions of tolerance and harmony. The voters of Margao must choose the pathway of peace. - Gomantak Times, 26/5/07, op-ed piece Oye, Mr. Election Observer By Oscar Rebello Please don't invade my space, and importantly, my freedom of speech! At the outset, let me congratulate your team for a phenomenal display in ensuring a free and fair election in the badlands of Uttar Pradesh. Despite the brute money and muscle p
[Goanet] Death of Eugenia de Souza
--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- I am sorry to hear the death of Mrs.Eugenia the mother of footballer Francis de Souza. My association with that family was from childhood. Newton, Nelson Rolland and Francis were my companions at Lourdes Convent where we all did our primary education and later at Monte de Guirim where some of her sons studied along with me. But most time we met at Tollem near Peggy's corner for a football game. As a child I used to visit her house at sequira vaddo sometimes and was attracted by her sweet nature and smiles.One would meet her for mass early in the morning at Lourdes convent. Soft spoken but daring woman who did not get scared to bring her children after the death of her husband. She brought all of them with iron hand and instilled in them the fear of God. The hand that rocked the cradle rules the world. She had a very good name in the locality. I do not think she ever fought with anyone or rather anyone ever thought of fighting with her. She was a simple lady, and her face full of smiles .She always wished people, inquired about them. She was a very loving person. Everybody in Sequeira vaddo and sonarbhatt knew her as a good person. May her soul rest in peace. albert de Souza _ Shaadi.com Matrimonials.

[Goanet] Case of Accident Victim Mingues Fernandes (Alex Wilson Coelho)
--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- Case of Minguel Fernandes Accident Victim In an unfortunate incident Mr. Minguel Fernades, met with an ill fated accident while returning home from duty. The matter was brought to the notice of the Managing Committee of the Goan Welfare Socitey- Kuwait by one of the community members. On hearing of the ill fated incident the President of GWS personally moved to get first hand information of the accident and to find ways and means to afford relief to the distressed victim. He visited the Victim at Al Adan Hospital. In the course of the investigation, the President met with Mr Minguel Fernandes and his brother Mr.Alex Fernandes and assured them all possible help and assistance to pursue their case with the concerned authorities in accordance with the local law. All possible measures have been taken to ensure the safety and well being of the victim as also filing claims for financial compensation to which the victim is entitled in accordance with the Law governing accidents resulting in death or permanent disability. Mr. Minguel and his brother Alex are fully convinced that their case is in safe hands and there is nothing to worry about it. It may be noted that as a gesture of goodwill and to serve as immediate relief, the staff of his company contributed generously to Mr. Minguel Fernandes besides Company assisting him to seek admission in Apollo Hospital, Margao-Goa at Companys cost. His case, for adequate claims and compensation, under the Insurance Law is being pursued by a duly appointed Lawyer associated with the Embassy of India and is closely being monitored by GWS, hence there is nothing to worry about it. The Law will take its own course and the victim will be duly awarded his dues. Right now the victim is safely back home and is under treatment. The reports coming from Goa are positive.

[Goanet] Goa : Steel
--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- 1.< I am not sure ifGoa has people capable of monitoring the waste of aniron mill>. Shame on an NRG like you. You may be being realistic about the Goa situation. After all, we all know how clumsy it is in running electricity transmission & distribution, water supply, garbage collection & disposal, sewerage, drainage in cities etc etc. But miracles do happen. The phone system works pretty well nowadays (except for a ridiculous 24 hour outage recently!). But at least on goanet you should sound optimistic about Goa's ability to learn and progress and should contribute some thoughts in this direction from time to time. You mean there arent any places in the world, including where you live, whose clean up acts Goa cant learn from? 2. You must draw a distinction between "brown" and "dirty". It may be perfectly OK to have brown sand -- if it is clean. I dont know where you find white sand. Goa's beaches (the few I have seen) are "grey"! Not good at all. The problem of dirty beaches is two fold. One is the fairly reversible problem of garbage. The other is the more serious one of illegal discharge of waste water, oil spills etc from shipping. Judging by the grey tinge I have a hunch that Goa has suffered a lot from the latter. The Navy and the Coast Guard may have been derelict in their duties in this regard. The local government may also have been too timid in taking up this issue with the concerned authorities. 3. Good luck with your little stock market ploys. But what I plan to do is figure out how to stop Goans from having knee jerk reactions of the kind you are counting on! That's a tall order, no doubt, but Goa needs it direly.

[Goanet] An up-and-coming writer: Tony D'Souza, author of "Whiteman, "
--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070524/BLOG25/70524013&start=1 May 24. 2007 11:15AM An up-and-coming writer BY SUSAN RIFE Tuesday night, the Herald-Tribune Book Club hosted Tony D'Souza, author of "Whiteman," for a reading and discussion of his book, which is a novel about a young man's experiences as a Peace Corps-like volunteer in West Africa. While "Whiteman" is a novel, it draws its inspiration from D'Souza's three years in a village in Ivory Coast, where he worked as a Peace Corps volunteer, teaching villagers how to prevent HIV/AIDS. It was a large effort in futility, he said, given that the villagers have a minuscule income of maybe a dollar a day, and condoms cost 30 cents each. D'Souza spoke freely of the cultural differences between American life and the life of the village, where he planted and harvested crops and learned to speak the native language. Asked about the practice of female circumcision, held in revulsion by Western women, he said the young women in the village viewed the procedure with apprehension but also with pride; it's a rite of passage into adulthood. Living in Africa also gave him a new view of poverty. Were the villagers poor? By any Western standard, yes. But they fed themselves with the food they grew and had homes to shelter them from the weather. Electricity, phones and running water were nonexistent; women carried water on their heads from quite a distance every day. D'Souza leaves Sarasota this weekend for six months in Japan, where he will study oral storytelling traditions. After winning multiple awards for "Whiteman," his next novel, "The Konkans," is due out in February. It also will be based in fact; it explores the Portuguese-Catholic population of Goa, India, where D'Souza's father is from.
