[Goanet] Goa's airport plan in trouble
Goa's airport plan in trouble 22 Oct 2007, 0008 hrs IST,Saurabh Sinha,TNN NEW DELHI: Goa may be one of the biggest tourist spots in India but it can't have two operational airports and find their operations viable. Following a long debate over the proposed new airport in the north at Mopa and the existing one at Dabholim, the state had recently asked the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to examine if these two could be used together. Now the Montreal-based global agency has submitted its report to the state, clearly saying that this will not be financially viable. ''Currently Dabholim handles 2.2 passengers annually. According to ICAO estimates, this figure will rise to 4 million and 6 million by 2014 and 2022, respectively. A totally private airport will require a threshold limit of 12 million departing passengers and 24 million total traffic,'' says the report. So even with a high traffic growth projection, the $325-million Mopa airport may not be financially viable if it is fully funded by a private player. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2479422.cms

[Goanet] Air-hostess ... Part II
Air-hostess ... Part II Well, I am sure, by now you all know who the killer is.. It was none other than the Air-hostess himself. Himself? Yes, the air-hostess was actually a male and not female (the character I mean and not Aplon). We were wondering as to why the group of 'Indian Eunuchs' was shown more than once. We even said it was completely out of question. Later on, it was also shown the air-hostess was very supportive to this community, helping in sending them back to school, financial help etc It was only in the end, all come to know about the killer and the reason behind the killings (as partly seen in the clip). http://youtube.com/watch?v=cwZALCw6c_s The fourth husband was actually a CID (played by Rosario Botelho-Last year's best Actor award winner). The air-hostess caught red handed (she used to kill husbands by poisoning their drinks on the wedding nights). While admitting the killings, the air-hostess confessed as to why she did it. (Obviously, to keep the secret i.e. not to disclose to anyone about the air-hostess being male and not female). She married to them all not beacuse she wanted to but to please them all. And 'killings' (out of fear) seems to have become her passion. Strong message was sent to the Govt. and the society that they (Eunuchs ) too are human beings and not rejects of the society. They too need support and all the help from the society and the Government etc etc For this, there was a louder public applause. Which also indicates the Goan society slowly-slowly starting to accept the community. ( and this made me to make this Part II) Bearing in mind, it was a tiatr competition, nearly half the applause must have come from its own supporters (St. Cruz) like in every tiatr. I would put the whole as 'mixed response'. Aplon's role was challenging, I suppose, no other actress would take up this tough role. She deserved an award for her role but strangely she did not figure in the winning lists. She was looking very beautiful s**y too. Francis Xavier Gonsalves (as third husband-seen in the clip) got a prize though. It also reminded me of late Christopher Leitao (Chris-meena fame), who once dressed as a girl and attended a carnival dance. Many boys were seen making bee line to have a pleasure of dance with her ( not knowing she was a male). Christopher used to play female role in the tiatr and his most popular role was as 'Meera' and I think this was in late 70s.

Dear Ariosto Agnelo Our friend Albert seems to have a big axe to grind against the Catholic Church and the Clergy . He carries a big chip on his shoulder which is so big that it affects his thinking and vision. It is easy to make all sorts of allegations against the Church and priests. Does he have any proof.? If he does what stops him from exposing with proof these so called misappropriations of public money? If he cannot prove it he should hold his peace. Are all your actions above board Mr Albert ?

Re: [Goanet] God and you and mother Mary
Hi Ed, I had only fleetingly heard of a Black Madonna and hence was not too familiar with the subject. Wikipedia has a pretty good write-up on it if you are interested in the subject. Gypsies is ofcourse the derogatory word used for Egyptians by Europeans. The worship of the Black Madonna is most prominent in Egypt. As I said in my earlier post, the cult of the Virgin Mother, Divine birth, Divine King, all emanate from Middle Eastern mythologies. One of the best books I've read on the subject is The Jesus Mysteries by Freke and Gandy. In my opinion it is by far one of the most influential books of the 21st century. That and the Golden Bough, ofcourse, written much earlier by Frazer. selma --- --- edward desilva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, Can any one please elaborate on the belief that the Gypsies believe in the Black Madonna.

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 2, Issue 951_Romanis_Black_Madonna
Dear Edward, First of all Selma is correct. Also, many aspects in Christianity predate Christianity, and through appropriation, Christianity became the richer (visually and in numbers) for it. Here is something from the web to get you started on the level of elaboration you wish for. http://www.ancientquest.com/embark/blackvirgin.html In Southern Provençal tradition, the Black Madonna is associated with St. Sara, the patron saint of the Gypsies. She was said to be the black assistant who accompanied the three Marys to France when they fled from the Holy Land after the Crucifixion. In local gypsy tradition, she is said to have been a gypsy (some say 'Egyptian') woman who helped them to land safely. A cult of St. Sara persists today at Les Saintes Maries de la Mer, one of the earliest Magdalene sites in France. Here is a tour one could have taken in August 2007: http://www.sacredearthjourneys.ca/TOURS/sacred-France-PFV.htm The Templars and the Grail: Knights of the Quest By Karen Ralls. See pg 69. http://books.google.com/books?id=M7ME8PcUx4MCpg=PA69lpg=PA69dq=books+on+gypsies+and+the+black+madonnasource=webots=9nwKc3Jo74sig=bDVRF-cKLs492NUGgGVyGUHrl3s But frankly such questions are best referenced in libraries. I am though reminded that Eric Pinto knows a lot about such topics, having encountered his past posts.

[Goanet] exhibition of hate - response to Santosh
Posted on behalf of Jason Fernandes Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 07:07:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Bhandare [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet] exhibition of hate -response to santosh Dear Santosh : Let me highlight a few parts of the article by Jason with my comments below,to answer your first question. he says What is surprising is that this very blatant organizing of Hindus against Muslims (and by logical conclusion against the Catholics in Goa) is that it is taking place in the premises of the Kala Academy. Why the premier cultural institution of a secular state is allowing violent activities on its premises is a question that the authorities of the Kala Academy must immediately answer -The logical conclusion that Jason draws above, is entirely his own. He merely wants to scare his christaon readers and earn some cheap talleo there. cheap talleo indeed...on the contrary, i think the point i was trying to make was proved by the rabid responses that the letters to the editor (displayed on the Hindu janajagruti site) evoked. They werent content with just bitching about Muslims, but they dragged the supposed crimes of christians in this hindu land. the Muslims were a problem in British-India, where they were the largest religious group (if one looks at people by religious groupings alone- religious identities do not necessarily suppose a common culture or agenda), in Goa, where the Muslim is not a problem, the threat to upper-caste Hindu nationalist interests were the Catholic elite, and this is what is attacked when the opportunity presents itself. The pity is that the inherent problem with Indian nationalism, is that it is upper-caste Hindu interest masquerading as national interest, but has worked over years to present the problem as a Muslim problem. The earlier we realise that the issue is not Muslims (or Hindus for that matter) but Indian(Hindu) nationalism, the quicker we will move toward resolving this issue. The exhibition in itself is not a violent activity.So the question of kala Akademi answering any questions in baseless. Honestly now, Bhandare hasnt been to the exhibit, I have, and it was more than an exhibition, there was screening of inflammatory videos and talk of violence and he still maintains that is was not a violent activity. Maybe if he actually had visited the exhibition he would be singing another story? He further says And yet in this environment, I was strangely drawn toward pulling down the posters, destroying the projector and disrupting the meeting that was being conducted, knocking a few heads while I was at it. It was when placed in this environment that I finally realized what it must be like to be a persecuted minority, and especially a Muslim in this country. --The fact that he ,by his own admission,was drawn to disrupt a peaceful meeting and inflict violence on the innocent people is enough to give us a peep into the immature mind of this reporter.More insiduous is the reasoning that should muslims indulge in violence aginst innocent hindus the blame lies on the exhibition,because for 60 years the muslim has been harassed. I may have been drawn to, fact is that i did not, and chose a different way of representing my protest, which does not call for lopping off heads. Once more, Bhandare presumes that the meeting was peaceful, without visiting it. Further, violence need not necessarily be physical harm. It can be words and daily acts as well. In my mind, i am very clear that this exhibition is only the foundation for actually physical violence that would turn genocidal. Secondly, there is no suggestion that the Hindus in Kashmir are not innocent. Reference was rather to Muslims in 'mainland India who have been hounded systematically since the early 1900's. the Hindus of Kashmir have indeed got a raw deal (and thats putting it mildly), but so have Muslims in teh valley, and I doubt we will get far by pointing fingers at religious communities. he further says Of course, once the Muslims have been hounded enough to retaliate Clearly the implication in my opinion is that Muslims retaliate only when the inherently communal hindus provoke them..hindutvawadis are inherently evil bigots while the muslims are the meek oppressed minority who is forced to retaliate..by burning train load of women and children for instance or setting of serial bomb blasts...Curiously this opression leads to retaliation theory is not applicable to a dara singh Bhandare makes a reference to the Godhra train fire incident and blames Muslims for it. And yet, despite this rumour that allowed for many more Muslims to be killed, it has still not yet been established who in fact set fire the train.

[Goanet] A Goan Sailor dies after attack by gang of teenagers
Sailor dies after attack by gang of teenagers From The Times October 22, 2007 Fiona Hamilton A sailor died when he was assaulted by a gang of teenagers in an unprovoked attack on Saturday night, police said yesterday. Three teenagers - a 14-year-old boy and two 17-year-olds - have been arrested on suspicion of murder, and police were seeking several more youths for questioning yesterday in relation to the brawl. A passer-by broke up the mêlée but a 32-year-old man from Goa, in India, died soon afterwards. Hampshire police said that the sailor had left the Falcon Hotel in Fawley when he and a 29-year-old colleague were approached by a gang of up to 20 teenagers. An altercation took place and the group moved along the street before the pair were attacked. Although a member of the public intervened and took the injured sailor back to the gate of the nearby dock, where his ship was moored, he collapsed and died. A postmortem examination was being conducted yesterday. The men were working on the cargo ship Garonne, which docked at Fawley on Friday, and were returning to their vessel between 9pm and 10pm when the incident occurred. A police spokeswoman said: The gang of youths aged between 13 and 18 numbered about 20 and there was an altercation between them and the men after they left the Falcon Hotel after a night out. At the moment it looks like a completely unprovoked attack. We do not think all the youths took part in the altercation but it is very early in the investigation. The dead mans colleague suffered minor injuries. Detectives are reviewing closed-circuit television footage from the area and appealed for witnesses to come forward. Detective Superintendent Alan Betts, who is leading the investigation, said: If you were part of the group who were involved in the altercation, I would urge you to come forward and speak to the police. Also at the weekend, a 13-year-old boy became the latest teenage victim of gun crime when he was shot in Manchester on Saturday night. The boy, who had been at a party in the Moss Side area of the city, was in a stable condition in hospital last night after being shot in the shoulder at about 11.20pm. Three teenagers have recently been shot dead in Manchester. In April Kasha Peniston, then 16, shot his sister Kamilah, 12, in the head with a handgun that his mother kept in their home in Gorton. Kally Gilligan, 15, was shot dead by her jilted boyfriend Josh Thompson, 18, in Salford in June last year, and in September last year Jessie James, 15, was shot dead as he cycled through a park in Moss Side. On September 25 two youngsters, 12 and 15, were shot in Fallowfield and on October 8 two gangs of youths fought a gun battle in Moss Side. One resident who held the party attended by the shot 13-year-old boy said that the incident was a mystery. I gave him some food and then I dont know what happened, she said. None of us knows what happened because we were all inside. Greater Manchester Police said that the teenagers injuries were not life-threatening and that they would be conducting extra patrols in the area. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article2709010.ece Sanny de Quepem [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Re: [Goanet] God and you and mother Mary
Yes, the Cracow Black Madona, the favourite of John Paul ll patroness of Solidarity movement of Poland, has always been very popular with the Balkan and the Baltic gypsies. However, their patron-saint is another black Lady, Santa Sara, I believe the first African woman to be sainted. The feast the universal gypsies celebrate annualy in Provence, France is an event filled with joy: The music is sublime and entertainment and hospitality to each all unstinted. I have attended it once in my early days; the memory persists undiminished. That the Black Madona originated in Egypt is true. The Blessed Virgin of Perpetual Succour, one of Christianity´s most beloved icon was painted by early Christians in Egypt modelled on an earlier Egyptian deity. And, she was and remains, essentially, black, though often represented in other hues. And laterly, we have the Blessed Virgin of Guadaloupe, albeit, a bit browner.

[Goanet] NRI Goan Lady shows the way and help others in need
Dear Mr. Edward Faleiro, I would like to bring to your kind attention an article about this brave Goan Lady, Ms. Cynthia Fernandes, who has turned personal tragedy into a success in helping not only thousands of Goans in UAE and abroad, but others who are in dire needs. Extracts of article that appeared today in Emirates Today newspaper here in UAE, are given below. In recognition of her dedication to help others and, indeed be there for others in time of distress, I recommend her to you for due recognition and award, as an example to our fellow NRIs and others. Sir, Ms. Cynthia will in Goa very soon from Nov 1 -10, 2007. Her contact number in Goa: 00919224600740 If it is Ok with you, may I suggest her to see you to discuss if she could be of any assistance to your office in meeting the needs of fellow Goans and NRIs? Please advise your contact numbers. Thanks you for your kind consideration in this matter. Kind regards Anthony Fernandes Mob: 00971-50-6512510 Dubai, UAE. How Cynthia turned her life around to help others in need Seven years ago, S Cynthia Fernandes' husband abandoned her, leaving her with a mountain of debt and two young children to look after. A few weeks later, she lost her job. Broke, jobless and emotionally bruised, she turned to friends and family for help. HELPING HANDS For months, she and her two children lived on charity collected by friends through church donations, while her two brothers helped her clear her financial dues. The 48-year-old says those were the darkest days of her life. My cross was really heavy to bear, she says. But I promised my brothers I would pay them all back to the last cent. It took her two long, difficult years but she did repay all her debts. Cynthia also set out to fulfil a promise she made to herself while putting her life back together - that she would do all she can to help others in need. I was so grateful. I know what it is like to be helped when you need it the most, she says. And I wanted to reach out to people who were in similar circumstances. In no time, Cynthia had built a network of people, some offering help, some needing help, solely through word-of-mouth. From financial appeals to prayer requests, she was soon sorting out and matching appeals to offers. In a short time, I had a database of more than 1,900 e-mails, she says. Every day, when I come home, I begin sending out these e-mails. I know there is always someone who will be able to help one way or the other. Binaifer, whose has chosen not to reveal her family name, counts her blessings for getting acquainted with Cynthia earlier this year. The 45-year-old says she was devastated when her husband suffered a massive stroke in 2005 and fought for his life in ICU for five months. What was even more upsetting, she says, was being deserted by her immediate family in her hour of need. For three long years, Binaifer, then a housewife, struggled alone to pay growing hospital and medical bills. All their savings were running out, while her husband was still recovering and unable to get back to work. I met Cynthia through a friend and she volunteered to do whatever she could to help, she says. After she sent out her emails, people started calling in and offering help. Some visited us and gave us whatever they could. The mum-of-two from India says Cynthia is a hero in many ways. We were deserted by family and friends when we needed them the most. Nobody wants to be burdened with a sick person, she says. But because of Cynthia, so many people have come together to reach out to people in need. Emirates Today reader Chantelle De Souza wrote in to nominate Cynthia as this week's Unsung Hero. In a city like this where many people are self-centred, here is a woman who goes out of her way to help people, she says. We need more people like her. Cynthia, who hails from Goa in India, says her e-mail database contains a mix of people and help is requested for anyone in need, regardless of race or nationality. From someone wanting to give away furniture to someone looking for some, or someone in search of a tailor or even how to get homemade food delivered, the network is growing. But one of the most endearing attributes of her e-mailing network is the constant stream of requests for prayers, says Cynthia. HUGE REQUESTS We get all sorts of requests. If someone is going for a job interview or someone is sick or even going to get a licence, they e-mail me and I send their prayers out, she says. And it is always such a good feeling to know when prayers are answered. There was a lady who had an autistic child who liked to play with musical keyboards and balloons. After I sent out a request, someone donated a Casio keyboard and a big box of balloons. Blood donor requests are regular appeals as well, says Cynthia. And it helps when there is a rare blood type urgently needed to save lives. Cynthia, who works as a

Re: [Goanet] Man arrested for molestation at Bicholim
There is a mental problem with these people, stoning them to death will not solve the problem. Temporarily maybe but in the long term, it will not be the solution to this disease. It is a disease, like any other. It is a mental disease but killing off all mental people would be disasterous to the human race. If it happened to one of my children, yes I would like to string him up myself, after lots of other bodily harm has been perpertrated by me personally. Then afterwards I would cry like a baby, for being so inhumane to another human being. There are (unsuccessful) treatments about in various parts of the USA Europe for this type of behaviour, but understanding it is fundamental to finding a solution to this issue. Until a cure is found, keeping the person away from temptation is currently the only best response I can give to this problem, which as existed as a way of life in Ancient Greece beyond as a common acceptance. As have adultery, various forms of what we now classify as murder, incest and other ways of life in ancient times, including group sex violations of other bodies, including one's own. Thank the heavens the medical professions who are looking at this mental state perhaps we can move on from physical /or chemical castration to something a bit more progressive. Neither of the above have been found to cure the person to date, its in the MIND, therefore removing someones genitals will not stop them from using a foreign object or worse, the chemical alterations of the mind only work while this is being physically dispensed to the perp, as it were. Once out to fend for himself, he will revert back to his natural surroundings and commit more offences against a child or rape victim. Yes, I wholehearted agree that this is foul obscene crime against another person, even more vile when perpetrated against a child, of any age! But we must think of ways to put this person beyond the reach of temptation again, until then the debate will continue. As I said, if it was MY child, then the rules may well change, however wrong it was, the madness I would feel towards this person would not go away until I got REVENGE on him. But I hope and pray nothing like this happens to my child, and yours! We know what we will want to do, some liberalists say that time heals all wounds, but it leaves a mental scar on the child for which no amount of time will ever erase the torment it went through. But in reality, of course killing the perp will not bring back the innocence that was lost forever, nor the look on the child's face aftewards, nothing in the whole world and beyong will bring back that smile, that helplessness we were not there to stop. Its bloody awful but we must find a way forward, not revert back to our natural instincts, because it does not make us any better human beings, it drags us down to his level, imprisonment maybe, until a cure is found but how long will this take? Certainly he cannot be allowed back into society again, at least not for a very long time, and even then, will he ever be cured or learn his lesson John Monteiro Berkshire, England Sanny de Quepem [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Goans, We have always blamed the FOREIGNERS for such deeds, due to which we fail to observe culprits living among us, who put up a saintly face while in public but while out of sight the SATAN is in action. These people must be stoned to death like the do in the Arabian Gulf for committing adultery. Do you agree with me? On the other hand such people must not be handed over to the Police cause they are too lenient, the public must first take against such people and then give the police a lame victim with broken bones. Mog assumdi, Tumcho khalto, Sanny de Quepem x Man arrested for molestation at Bicholim NT News Service Bicholim, Oct 20 The Bicholim police today arrested Shabani Dessai (43) for allegedly molesting a 10- year old girl studying in class V. The accused was caught today by the parents of victim girl when he had come to leave his child to the school and he was later handed over to the police. The Bicholim police inspector, Mr Braz Menezes revealed that an offence has been registered under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 8(1) of the Goa State Childrens Act. The accused was produced in the court and remanded to two days police custody by the JMFC, Bicholim. According to the investigating officer, the incident took place on October 16 between 7.30 a.m. and 7.45 a.m. near the premises of a school at Bicholim. The accused molested the girl when she was on her way to school. The administrator of the school, Mr Kotin Dias disclosed the entire incidence to the police today. The police rushed to the site and arrested the accused. Mr Tukaram Walke is investigating the case under the
[Goanet] Politics of Hate
In 2004 The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has refused to pass Rakesh Sharma's award-winning film on the Gujarat violence. Final Solution, the three-and-a-half hour documentary, was rejected by the Board on the grounds that it promotes communal disharmony among Hindu and Muslim groups and presents the picture of Gujarat riots in a way that it may arouse communal feelings and clashes among Hindu Muslim groups. The letter from the CBFC also said that the film attacks the basic concept of our Republic i.e. National Integrity and Unity. Certain dialogues involve defamation of individuals or body of individuals. Entire picturisation is highly provocative and may trigger off unrest and communal violence. State security is jeopardised and public order is endangered if this film is shown When it is judged in its entirety from the point of view of its overall impact, it is not advisable to be exhibited. Hence refused under Section 5(b) 1 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952. This must give an idea to the people about the nture of the film. I do not understand why people like him are so bent on destroying the peace of this country. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Dear all nbsp; What a horrible stab in the back. Why this fear to give equal status for Roman Konkani? Is it because if that is given than Devanagri will die an untimely death? Or is there some agenda with the devanagris to kill Roman, which might never die? nbsp; How many languages in India use Devanagri, There are many who dont so why demand Devanagri only for Konkani? Is it to prove that we are Indians? So what about other states in India? What script is used by Malayalam, Tamil, Gujarati, and Assamese? Are all the eastern Indian states using Devanagri? What about Bengali? nbsp; Devanagri guys are behaving like Mafia, Tech kortat tem sarkem, urlolea tel lait gele, oxem num?nbsp; See a few people are using all skills like the mafia is using to deny any right for us poor speakers of Konkani to voice ourselves. What a pity. The power that these few use is sickening. All Tiatrists should boycott Kala Academy. Its these people who have made it an institution. Romans Konkani may use English as their second language but the Devanagris are total Marathi guys who take poroskar both ways. Isnt it so?nbsp; If not who buys all Marathi papers that sell in Goa? nbsp; Cheers nbsp; Jerry Fernandes nbsp; Kala Academy closes door on Romi script writers PANJIM: Dalgado Konknni Akademy president Tomazinho Cardozo has asked Kala Academy chairman Pratapsing Rane not to allow the institution fall victim to the manipulations of Devnagri Konkani protagonists, and become a party to the discrimination meted out to followers of Konkani in Romi script. Reacting to the Kala Academy\'s decision not to disburse literary awards to Konkani works written in the Roman script, and not to constitute a separate award on par with the Gomanta Sharda Puraskar to writers in Roman script, Cardozo said that Rane had \encouraged the fascist ideas of Uday Bhembre and a few others in their aim to destroy Konkani in the Roman script\.

I was surprised that nobody else except Bernado and me responded to Joao Botelho Gomes. I put that down to people not understanding Portuguese. Joao Botelho Gomes' post in Portuguese was provocative and implied that the Goan origin was very much linked to Portuguese language and that all Goans should read and write (and express themselves) in Portuguese, the de facto language of our ancestors (according to him). Whilst it is true that I am fluent in both colonial languages Portuguese and English and not in our own Goan mother tongue Konkani (I very much regret this) does not mean that I have to agree with Botelho Gomes. In my opinion Konkani is in the centre of our Goan identity. If we lose it, we will lose our Goan identity forever. Yes, we may all still speak and write in English and/or Portuguese but we should not lose our connection to Konkani and I still defend that Konkani should be the only official language of Goa like it was a few years ago.

Earlier, it was Portuguese primarily, specially for official and historical purposes. Konkani is undeniably the preferred spoken language. Hindi, Portuguese (a bit) and French get studied in schools too. Lot of migrant workers have languages like Kannada as their mother tongue; and Goa also had historic connection with this, being the language of its former rulers. On the coastal belt, one can see (a few) signboards in Russian and Hebrew, while earlier German and the Scandinavian languages would be visible too. And, not to forget, Konkani gets written in five scripts (including Malayalam and Perso-Arabic, though there are some who would like to forget that reality).Language is indeed a complex issue in Goa.

Re: [Goanet] Press Release from People's Movement Against SEZs
October 22, 2007 PRESS RELEASE A Memorandum was handed over to the Chief Minister today by the PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT AGAINST SEZS, an initiative of the citizens of Goa, lodging a strong protest against the imposition and implementation of the SEZ policy in Goa. Every elected Government is expected to safeguard and protect the collective assets as also the interests and identity of the community it professes to serve. If the Government itself adopts policies that amount to a virtual sell out of the family jewels, then it is time for the people to organise themselves and stand together unitedly to safeguard the land of their forefathers and protect the interests of future generations. WHY CITIZENS OF GOA FELT COMPELLED TO LODGE AN FIR AGAINST THE GIDC BOARD Despite a political party having threatened to file an FIR against the GIDC Board for the alleged irregularities and illegalities committed by it in allotting land for five SEZs in Phase IV of the Verna Industrial Estate, the citizens of Goa, under the banner of PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT AGAINST SEZS, felt it necessary to pre empt any prospect of this life and death issue for Goa to be used politically and to retain the initiative with the ordinary citizens who have no motives other than love and concern for their motherland. The allocation of land for five SEZs in the Verna Industrial Estate, namely K. Raheja Corporation Pvt. Ltd., Paradigm Logistic Distribution Pvt. Ltd., Inox Mercantile Pvt. Ltd. , Planet View Mercantile Company Pvt. Ltd. and Maxgrow Finlease Pvt. Ltd. has been characterised throughout by adhocism and flouting of the rules and regulations as follows : 1. Even though the allotment of the land is for Special Economic Zones, none of the Provisions of the Special Economic Zone Act 2005, more particularly Sections 3, 4 and 5 thereof, have been followed and therefore the whole allotment gets nullified on this ground. 2. At least three of the five Companies to whom SEZs have been allotted are new Companies without any experience at all and K. Raheja Corporation Pvt. Ltd. is purely a real estate developer. Therefore, it appears that these Companies have specifically been floated for the purpose of grabbing this land under the guise of SEZ. 3. Four Applications, which do not bear any inward stamp and number nor the seal of the respective Companies are all dated 12th April, 2006, and the land allotment has been approved within six days thereof, without the Companies even submitting the mandatory Project Reports. 4. The Meeting of the Board held on 19/04/2006 gave a complete go-by to the Provisions of the Goa, Daman and Diu Industrial Development Act, 1965. Under Regulation 2, it is a mandatory requirement that the Secretary shall give seven days clear notice of the ensuing Meeting to the Members of the Corporation. Under Regulation 3, the Secretary is required to furnish each Member with the Agenda and the item notes regarding the business included in the Agenda. The Notice is required to be despatched to the Members by ordinary post under Certificate of Posting and a Notice is required to be despatched along with its Annexures. In the instant case, even assuming that the Application is inwarded on 12th April, 2006, the same could not have been discussed in the Meeting held on 19/04/2006 as the seven days clear notice as required under the Regulations could not have been followed; therefore on the face of this, the allotment in favour of the four Companies appears to be illegal and in violation of Law . 5. The said land was not acquired for the Special Economic Zone nor has the same been declared as Special Economic Zone area and no Resolution has been passed by the Board to change the purpose of acquisition; while the land was originally acquired solely for industrial purposes it has now been allotted for SEZ which will have a land use incorporating industrial, commercial as well as residential. 6. The said allotments of land to four companies, (excluding land allotted in the form of internal roads and open spaces) have been passed in the Meeting which was attended by only four Members, namely Chandrakant Kavlekar, Chairman, GIDC Board MLA, Aleixo Sequeira, Director, GIDC Board MLA, (presently Power Minister), Nitin Kunkolienkar, Director, GIDC Board President, GCCI, A. V. Palekar, Managing Director, GIDC, without following the due procedure of Law. The said allotment of land had not previously been approved by the Government before being discussed at the Board Meeting held on 19/04/2006. 7. In the Meeting of the Board held on 07/02/2006; the rates in all the Industrial Estates were enhanced including Verna Phase I, IA, II and III, of the Verna Industrial Estate. But in Phase IV of the Verna Industrial Estate which is a new acquisition and where the rates of acquisition were also high, the rates have not been enhanced by the Board possibly to

This announcement has come as a surprise and will cause considerable confusion in the minds of educational institutions and of educationists in general. The Goa Secondary and Higher Secondary Board Act and Rules, 1975 already provides for the establishment of a Board, which, inter alia has the responsibility to advise the Government on matters of policy relating to secondary and higher secondary education in general and on the following matters .. The Goa School Education Act, 1984, similarly, has a provision for an Advisory Board ... for the purpose of advising the Government on matters of policy relating to education in the Union territory. The announcement by the Chief Minister, reported in the Press, does not make it clear whether the Integrated Education Advisory Council which he proposes to set up will be in addition to the Boards required to be set up under the two pieces of legislation, or whether it will supplant those statutory Advisory Boards. As the head of the Government, it is incumbent on the Chief Minister to make important announcements only after due and careful consideration of the existing realities, and after consultation with his advisers. It does not behove a Chief Minister to make announcements in a casual manner, as if to score political points over his political opponents. In any case, there is cause for a clarification now that a public announcement has been made. With kind regards, Yours truly, Averthanus L. D'Souza, D-13, La Marvel Colony, Dona Paula, Goa 403 004.

RKN, Albert, as a Christian, was probably referring to the third part of the unholy trinity.

Re: [Goanet] Goan Origin
Sr.Joao Botelho; Nao sei porque faz uma crítica tao dura a Mariam por nao escrever em portugues ,por nao saber talvez? Eu estou fora de Goa ha mais de 50 anos e esqueci konkani que falava tao bem antes de sair de Goa no ano 1956.

Sem vergonha da sua nacionalidade e das suas raízes. É que, sabe, se lhe roubarem a carteira,ou outra coisa qualquer, apenas perde a sua posse física. Mas ela não deixa de ser sua.
Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 2, Issue 950_Learn Konkani, the Romi way
Frederick, Would you know whether 'Romi Lipient Konknni Kors' is essentially the same as Konknni Mullavo Kors (Konkani Basic Course), published in Nagari in 1991? That one has 35 chapters in Section II. If it is the same, then its a pity that the Romi version did not come out any earlier. But scholars have a lot on their hands, and considering that such massive projects take time -- its great that the Kors is finally out there and available. Thanks for putting out such information. venantius From: Frederick [FN] Noronha * ??? . In such a context, it's not surprising to see a new book on the stands recently, called 'Romi Lipient Konknni Kors' (Konknni Course in Roman Script). It is authored by Dr Mathew Almeida sj (Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr, Porvorim, 2007, Pp 252, Rs 250, US$20, UKP10).
Re: [Goanet] Interesting ad ... from Margao to MONTEIRO ....... going BACK TO MY ROOTS yeah................!???
As you know I am currently planning my trip to Goa in a year's time and was hoping to contact as many people as possible, with the surnames of MONTEIRO that of ULLAH It gets curiousor curiouser. My entangled past has come up with ULLAH as a surname in our PORTUGUESE inter-racial (hopefully) link to a surname, of a (Goan origin?) Muslim surname. I will post up the photos of Goa that I have managed to wrangle from my mother some years ago, sadly deceased nearly 10 years hence. They are of my First Communion in 1959 with Brother Cana at Loyola High School, other photos taken of my mother, her friend Maria D'Souza, my younger brother and myself. Anyone with information as to our home adddress etc would be much appreciated. I will write to LHS to ask if they will look up their archives for any further information hope and pray we come up with a result. It would make my day or should I have said, it would make my life...
