[Goanet-News] Goanet Reader: Goans in Pakistan, the small community which made a difference (Menin Rodrigues)
Goans in Pakistan, the small community which made a difference GOANS in Karachi before and after Independence of Pakistan -- and their impact on lifestyle has run deep and long. By Menin Rodrigues If there was rhythm, colour and distinction associated to lifestyle in the Pakistan of 1950s, 60s and 70s, it came in part from the magnanimous contribution of the miniscule Goan community of Karachi. This made a real difference, setting precedents for today's gurus in music, sports and fashion. These enterprising people from the tiny region of Goa, along the west coast of South Asia and of pre-partition India, have been living and working in Karachi, then a prospering fishing village, since the mid-19th century. Goans continue to live in Karachi today, about 5,000 odd, but are relatively quiescent. Up to independence and a decade or two later, this hard-working community played an influential role in the city's growing prominence as a major seaport, business hub and a stylish cosmopolitan metropolis -- a sister-city to Bombay and a match to London's grandeur! The many landmarks, now forlorn and almost forgotten, are testimony of the city's eminence. PREAMBLE: The magnificent sandstone-building of the Karachi Goan Association (1886), requisitioned for two years as a Senior Officers Club during World War II and which also played host to the Duke of Windsor then Prince of Wales and the First Governor of the Province of Sind; the legendary portals of St. Patrick's High School (1862) and St. Joseph's Convent (1861) and the elite mansions, palatial houses, clubs, pubs, discotheques, gourmets, bakeries, theatres, 'koors' and gymkhanas in upscale Saddar; were the epicenters of all music, cultural and sporting activities of Goan-life. This is where Karachi's lifestyle originated. Remember the 'Club' scenes in early Pakistani movies -- the disoriented 'western' dances and clothing, the quintessential saxophonist, trumpeter and drummer, the drinks and sexy damsels? From the historic hockey defeat inflicted on Bhopal Wanderers (comprising of several players from India's gold-medal team of the 1936 Berlin Olympics) by the mostly-Goan school-boys team of St. Patrick, to the securing of Pakistan's railway lines in 1947 by Frank D'Souza (Member, Indian Railways Board) on the request of the Quaid-e-Azam; and from Archbishop Joseph Cordeiro becoming Pakistan's first Roman-Catholic Cardinal to the staging of Karachi's first Gilbert and O'Sullivan musical operas in the 1950s; are just a few milestones etched with Goan livery and legacy that will remain part of Pakistan's and Karachi's untold history. When on May 31, 1935 at 1.30 a.m., the great Quetta earthquake killed 75,000 people with one big jolt; a Goan Manuel Mendes working on the Sukkur Barrage Scheme was given charge of clearing the city of debris and corpses with teams of over 400 sappers and miners. He did it with dedication, determination and distinction. The delicious ceremonious cake made on the occasion of Karachi's first civic reception on August 25, 1947 in honor of Quaid-e-Azam Mohamed Ali Jinnah, Governor-General of Pakistan Dominion, was prepared and baked at the famed P.F. Pereira Sons, Bakers Confectioners (Estb: 1922). The other top Goan bakers of that time included the Misquita (famous for its hot-cross buns, still in operation as its brand name survives) and Lawrence bakery, respectively. When Pakistan came into being in 1947, the prominence of Goans was evident from the fact that one of Karachi's first elected Mayors was Manuel Misquita; it was a time when the city's judiciary (C.M. Lobo and brothers Edward and Herman Raymond as Judges of the High Court), the armed forces (see below), municipality, police (see below), customs (Cincinnatus D'Abreo as Collector Customs), telegraphs, hospitals, educational institutions, the port trust, railways and the world of music, sports and fashion, were without an iota of doubt, ruled by this highly educated, talented and law-abiding community. In 1952, Noel Misquita became the first Pakistani student at the Harvard Business School. The Garden East in Karachi today was 'officially' the old 'Cincinnatus Town' but unfortunately not registered at the municipality. The roads and streets of this amazingly green locality with stately mansions with airy verandahs and sprawling gardens are still known by the names of Goans who built it e.g. Britto Road, D'Cruz Road, Pedro D'Souza Road, D'Abreo Street, Edward Street. etcetera. GRE today is a concrete jungle of apartment blocks. Men who served the Pakistan armed forces with honour and distinction were Colonel Eric Cardoza, Lt. Col. David DeSouza, Major Joseph Lobo, Major Kenneth

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com From: Mario Goveia mgov...@sbcglobal.net From: Ivo da C.Souza At the beginning of the 1900s, one person out of 100 died of cancer; today it is one out of three. We foresee that within a few years one out of two people will die of cancer. Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2009 00:12:42 -0400 From: Bosco D'Mello bos...@canada.com The top 10 causes of death from the World Health Organization: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs310/en/index.html Mario responds: Once again, we see the absolute garbage on cancer that Fr. Ivo has been posting. ***Mario is come back with his barrage of postings. The text is taken by me from Dr.Tullio Simoncini's Website. I have already said that it has to be investigated. The origin of cancer given by him may not be correct. What is absolute garbage in my posting? Does Mario understand it? We are also seeing a relentless barrage of unscientific and untested alternative medical information from Con Menezes as Santosh has begun to point out. ***What is wrong if the Website of Dr.Tullio Simoncini is brought to the knowledge of the readers? Why are these non-physicians posting information on serious issues like medicine and medical treatments from sources that promote medical information that has not been reviewed or tested by any respectable medical authority, that could lead to serious health problems for anyone who thinks this information is medically legitimate? ***Any one is free to judge from themselves. Let there be a discussion with several people from the field. Why non-physicians cannot post information about medicine for discussion? For example, if anyone out there believes Fr. Ivo's blanket garbage that cancer is incurable and acts accordingly by delaying testing and treatment, their lives may be put in jeopardy. ***I did not advise such foolishness. Mario is such a fool to misunderstand my clear statements. Once cancer is detected, it has to be immediatley treated by cancer specialized hospitals. Have I advised anything different? I even mentioned surgeons and physicians who would immediately send the patients to Tata Memorial Hospital, even though they thought that it would not be cured, totally and permanently. I have given examples of those who were declared cured after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation by the Hospital, but have died within one month. How do I put lives in jeopardy? Nobody is going to delay testing, but being asymptomatic it may come to knowledge at a late stage... Did I say that nothing should be done for treatment of cancer, though most of the times it will be palliation and prolongation of life? Is this not a serious hnecessary attempt? Why is Mario misunderstanding and belittling the non-physicians? NONE of the alternative medical information that Con is posting has been tested by any credible authority. NO ONE should believe any of this information without checking with a legitimate physician - some of it may be harmless, some of it may be harmful for your health. No one really knows within any probability of effectiveness. ***That is precisely what is being done. It is being tested on thousands of cancer patients by Dr.Tullio Simoncini. How many legitimate physicians have tested Dr.Simoncini's new method? A PRIEST with no medical training cannot be allowed to spread such falsehoods in a public forum without rebuttal by medical scientists like Santosh and the other practicing physicians who are members of Goanet, many of whom are strangely silent. ***Mario does not understand anything. I challenge any physician on this point. Dr.Santosh is just quoting American statistics. This is not happening here under our eyes. We do not need any medical training for this statement. I have spoken to physicians and surgeons, who do agree with me. A Priest without any medical training will be able to confirm the fact of cancer patients with the experience of the people. With my pastoral concern and medical training I am meeting cancer patients...who have taken all medication from cancer hospitals, but are just eager to know whether they are going to live for some time... I can only advise them: Be not afraid. Mario Goveia in America is living (with cancer...) for some years, so you also will be living in Goa... Let Mario not accuse me of spreading falsehoods in a public forum... Regards. Fr.Ivo

Forget about advising the patients...do they know that the Goan doctors themselves know about cancer cures or are they able to detect cancer in the initial stages or their main aim to milk their patients. If science has progressed so much why do we have to take opinions from 2-3 doctors. Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai informs us that Cancer can be cured if detected in intial stages but tell me how many doctors in Goa have been able to tell their patients or their familes that its cancer in initial stages? As I said in my earlier post on Cancer...I have been with two patients from Goa who had come to Mumbai. One had a letter addressed to Dr. in Bombay Hospital and the other Tata Hospital...both came in healthy and didnt know it was Cancer...even the family members were not aware. one survived for 1 year and the other passed away within a month...I was there with them and have seen what is going on..those who have visited the tata hospital in Mumbai n been with the cancer patients will know what it is...its so easy to simply rely on cut and paste from websites.

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Dear Sir, I followed with keen interest the Editor’s email exchanges with Sayeesh Naik (GT 8 Sep) with reference to the Editorial appearing on 21st August. I must add that I too have found this Editorial on Dr Subodh Kerkar’s Art a little hard to digest. In this context, I recount the speech of the great American President John F. Kennedy, made at the Amherst College in Massachusetts in honor of poet Robert Frost. The former President made a fitting case for a nation to represent itself not only through its strength but also through its art by observing and I quote If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. History will illustrate that Countries have progressed whenever human thought and the creative process has been given a free reign to flower and prosper. If the limits of human thought are to be clipped in the name of religion, then we will see no Galileo. By seeking to adopt a cautious approach, the Editorial seriously misses the plot and tries to give a kind of legitimacy to the politics of threat and intimidation. It is extremely sad and disappointing to note that the ugly genie of “religious intolerance” keeps popping out of lamp time and again and Artists are being subjected to the worst campaign of politically motivated censorship in years. This is despite the fact that our Constitution under Constitution Article 19(1) (a) guarantees every citizen the fundamental rights of freedom of speech and expression and the highest Courts of our land have consistently defined the limits of these Freedoms and ruled in favour of the Artists. One such legal precedent was set way back in 1954 when various charges were filed against Artist Akbar Padamsee for his erotic works of Art. The Artist was arrested on charges of obscenity and cases filed in the Courts of law. The matter was finally disposed in the Honorable High Court which, in its landmark Judgment, held that since art exhibitions are meant for those who voluntarily step into the gallery to view them, they do not constitute a violation of obscenity under the IPC. The Court categorically observed that viewers enter such exhibitions at their own discretion, and can hence choose not to enter if they feel they may be offended by the exhibits on display. Creative forms of expressions like Art, Films, Books, etc cannot be banned simply because hyper-sensitive groups find the same offensive. If this were to happen, we would move back into the dark ages. Furthermore, the spiritual tenets of Hinduism have always celebrated diversity and Dr Kerkar’s Art is consistent with such traditions which see its Gods and Goddesses in various forms, postures and figures - both clad as well as unclad. Just as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder so does obscenity. An Artist’s work is an exercise in creativity and should be viewed with an open mind. Those whose sentiments are offended at the drop of a hat can choose to stay away from Art galleries. Let’s not allow our Society to be transformed into an intolerant society. The principles of liberalism and tolerance must prevail! Regards Sandeep Heble

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com MONTHI FESTH The Traditional celebration of Nativity of Mother Mary combined with new harvest is truly an international Festival of Mangalorean Catholics. The Devotion: In coastal Canara region, the nativity feast is preceded by 9 day Novena to Mother Mary. Children collect variety of flowers and gather around the grotto during Novena, concluded by the hymn ”Sakkad sangatha mellyam’ and then offer the flowers they have brought on the statue of Mother Mary, to the tune of the hymn ‘Moriyek hogollsiyam’. The devotion of Mother Mary is a legacy, our ancestors brought with them when they fled Goa as it is mentioned in one of the Gumtam songs, in honour of ‘Ruzai Saibinn’ which says : Goiam sodun aili Mai, Ruzai Saibinn, Mekllya Kesani Mai, devnli somdirak, Devnli Mai sondirak, aili Manglurak, Aili Mai Manglurak, Geli Bollarak, Bollar vadyaanth Mayen thiso tharo kela, Devache vhodde dayen, Asro Amkam dila, Dhaa zonn, bhav-bandhov, ottu melloyam, Ruzai mayeche navim, thempl bhandoyam.. (It appears from this song, they sailed with the statue of ‘Ruzai Saibinn’ when they fled Goa, landed in Mangalore, then in Bolar, Mangalore, erected a church in her honour (The Church of the most Holy Rosary- Rosario Cathedral) The Cathedral now stands in the same place where the Portuguese built their first church after capturing Mangalore on 5th January 1568. The venerable Fr. Joseph Vas played an important role in the history of the Rosario Church in the year 1681. Archbishop Brandao of Goa assigned him to repair the existing Bolar Rosario Church, which was known as the Factory Church. On the fateful night of Ash Wednesday February 21st 1784 upon Tippu’s cruel orders several thousands of Kanara Christians were lead as captives to Srirangapatnam. During this period Tippu's forces desecrated and destroyed 26 out of the 27 churches in Kanara and Rosario Church was one of them. After return from the captivity, in 1813 the help of various sources rebuilt Rosario church. The British Government contributed Rs.4,000/- towards the building of Rosario Church and Milagres Church in the same place as they formerly stood before1784. The new Milagres Church was built in the year 1811 and the Rosario Church in the year 1813. The Rosario Church was raised to the rank of a Cathedral on 16th April 1850). The custom of Monthi Fest was initiated by Goa Priest, Msgr. Joachim Miranda who was then parish priest of ‘Monthe Mariano’ convent church at Farangipet, after his return from deportation to Malabar during Tipu Sultan’s captivity of Canara Catholics few of whom returned home after the defeat of Tipu in the 4th Mysore war in 1799. Novem: On the Feast day, the new paddy (KHANSHI) that is ready for harvest is blessed at each church and distributed to the congregation. An elaborate all vegetarian dinner is prepared with traditional dishes such as ‘allum-dhento, tovshya karamb, sanna roce, pathrade, varieties of vegetables like ‘alsande, bhende, kuvalo, mogem, vaingem, gullam, thendlim, ghosalim, podvalem, thamdi bhaji, surnn, sonno’ etc. The new paddy is either added to the ‘vorn’ or powdered and added to the milk and ceremoniously sipped by each member of the family at lunch. Traditionally, lunch is served on the plantain leave and eaten by hand. The new paddy is sent by post to family members, dear ones who are working or living away, abroad, and they too celebrate the festival upon receipt of the new paddy. The children are rewarded for the trouble they have taken in gathering flowers to honour the birth of Mother Mary on the day of the feast with sweetmeats like laddoos, or sugarcane to take home and enjoy. Some parishes conduct sports, games for entire families in the afternoon highlighted by ‘tug-o-war’ for men as well as women!. M.D'Mello

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Dear Maurice Mam, You mentioned that Fr. Joachim Miranda (author of famous song: Riglo Jezu Mollyant) started the Monti fest tradition. But this may not be true. The MONTI FEST tradition was started in Goa itself. But the present Goans do not celebrate Monti Fest because all the traditions of our ancestors were banned there. Even Konkani speaking was banned for few years. This is one of the main reason for our people to fled from Goa to Mangalore. This is very clear because the people living in southern parts of Maharashtra like Kudal, Savantvadi, Ratnagiri etc also celebrate Monti Fest like we Mangaloreans do. It may be possible that Fr. Joachim Miranda popularised Monti Fest in Mangalore. You have also mentioned that only one church was not destroyed by the Tippu Soldiers. This is MONTE MARIANO Church of Faragipet. The reason for not destroying the church according to Late V J P Saldanha (who wrote volumes of historical novels in Konkani on the migration of Chrsitans from Goa to Mangalore and also wrote volumes of Historical novels in Konkani about the Tippus Captivity of Canara Catholics) is that the youngsters of Farangipet or Omzoor were 'DINDE MANAY' and the Tippu's soldiers feared to touch them. 'DINDE MANAY' is also mentioned in another Gumttam Song Sairik Yetha Mujha Duvek which can be heard from http://konkanimusic.blogspot.com/ Thanks a lot for the beautiful article - Ancy S DSouza, Paladka On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 9:51 AM, MD mmdme...@gmail.com wrote: MONTHI FESTH known as the Factory Church.

I remember him as ‘Bhokddea Khadacho’. Also, remember him acting as a ‘Jew’ or Judev (Soldad) in one of the tiatr that were staged during ‘Korezm’ or lent. Once, at Margao, near Rajendra Prasad Stadium, where all tiatr used to stage at night 10.30pm, the tiatr gatekeepers were refusing to let a young child of say 10 years old who was with his mother saying he too needs a ticket.

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com From: Edward Verdes eddiever...@hotmail.com I am not a physician but I am very much in touch with Goa and have assisted a few Goans in their fight with Cancer in Mumbai. ***You do not have to be a physician to speak about cancer. It is our experience with cancer patients that counts. Common sense tells us a lot. You know from your contact with the patients in Tata Memorial Hospital. I know from my close contact with them, even at death bed... I have anointed Dr.Carlos Barreto, who died of lung cancer... I know about cancer patients whom I meet everyday. Even today I met a lady who is suffering from breast cancer and has been operated. What is the survival period? Who can guarantee it on the basis of American statistics? One of my students died of cancer within less than one month after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, after he was declared as cured by Tata Memorial Hospital. I know Fr. Ivo lives in Goa and he knows whats happening in Goa...Being a priest he is more in contact with the people in Goa who are suffering from Cancer and who cannot afford the costly medicines. Then those Goans in America who can only lecture the Goans but can't be there physically in Goa to advise the cancer patients. ***It is not only poor cancer patients, but rich people, who have spent lakhs of rupees with medication and surgery, have died within a short time. Let the Goan physicians and scientists in diaspora leave their cosy place and come down to cure the cancer patients and help the Dalits of India... Forget about advising the patients...Do they know that the Goan doctors themselves know about cancer cures or are they able to detect cancer in the initial stages or their main aim to milk their patients? If science has progressed so much, why do we have to take opinions from 2-3 doctors? ***Usually when the cancer patient feels the symptoms and goes for tests, it is alread metastasized... The lady felt about her breast cancer and went to the surgeon who told her that it was in the third stage and operated on her. It is late. Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai informs us that Cancer can be cured if detected in intial stages but tell me: how many doctors in Goa have been able to tell their patients or their families that its cancer in initial stages? ...I have been with two patients from Goa who had come to Mumbai. One had a letter addressed to Dr. in Bombay Hospital and the other Tata Hospital...Both came in healthy and didn't know it was Cancer...even the family members were not aware. One survived for 1 year and the other passed away within a month...I was there with them and have seen what is going on. Those, who have visited the Tata Hospital in Mumbai and have been with the cancer patients, will know what it is...It's so easy to simply rely on cut and paste from websites. ***Actually, I am trying to help them for palliation with my medical knowledge and training.

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com From: Mario Goveia mgov...@sbcglobal.net I wonder what Marlon has to say about this contretemps? I'm sure he'll think of something. But one of the world's top climate modellers, Mojib Latif, an author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change no less, the body that has been insisting that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, is totally confused by the climate and honest enough to admit it. But Mr. Latif is not giving up. He says the world MAY cool for years to come, but THEN it will get back to what his climate models, unproven and unprovable and speculative formulas that attempt to predict the long term future, have said all along MAY happen. Thus, according to his school of thought, BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY SAY MAY HAPPEN BUT HAS NOT BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 1998 LIKE THEY SAID IT WOULD, we must continue to turn all the western economies on their heads, while India, China, Russia, Brazil, Mexico and other less developed countries go their merry way, which I have called the growing smoking section in a world some would like to see as a non-smoking world, a.k.a. one in which we stop producing more greenhouse gases which they blame the climate on. THIS is what passes for akkal in some sophisticated circles. Tsk, tsk, tsk. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17742-worlds-climate-could-cool-first-warm-later.html?DCMP=OTC-rssnsref=online-news Excerpt: Forecasts of climate change are about to go seriously out of kilter. One of the world's top climate modellers said Thursday we could be about to enter one or even two decades during which temperatures cool. People will say this is global warming disappearing, he told more than 1500 of the world's top climate scientists gathering in Geneva at the UN's World Climate Conference. I am not one of the sceptics, insisted Mojib Latif of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at Kiel University, Germany. However, we have to ask the nasty questions ourselves or other people will do it. Few climate scientists go as far as Latif, an author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But more and more agree that the short-term prognosis for climate change is much less certain than once thought. ***I am glad that scientists are grappling with the problem of uncertainty in scientific matters. The Principle of Uncertainty by Werner Heisenberg in Quantum Physics is well known. What happens in metereology is also happening in medical world: Physicians and surgeons are being confused by cancer epidemiology and Swine Flu (H1N1). It is interesting to read from scientific circles that in 350 BCE, Aristotle wrote Meteorology (Meteorologica). Aristotle is considered to be the founder of meteorology. For 2,000 years, no one added anything significant to his findings (Farrand, 1991; Meteorology, Lisa Alter). One of the most impressive achievements described in the Meteorology is the description of what is now known as the hydrologic cycle. If Mario can speak of meteorology, why I cannot speak of medicine and Benedict XVI of ethics in economics and politics? Regards. Fr.Ivo

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com My dear Goankars, As I keep telling you'll, my mother is a Cancer survivor for the last 26 years and has been living in Goa for the last 10 years. She was operated upon for Cancer of the Uterus by Dr. Lusito in Mumbai. My dad worked for a multinational co. that paid the hospital bill, medication and all treatment for my mum.After Dad retired, my brothers have been paying for mum's treatment. Mum still visits Tata hospital till date, for her annual Cancer check-ups, and her daily diet includes lots of vitamins, fresh vegetables and fruits, grown in her own garden, lots of liquids e.g. milk and tea brewed with lemon grass leaves (also home-grown)etc. and lives in the beautiful clean and green Goa. Always eat freshly cooked food daily. My mother has always been slim and thin, and only 45kgs in weight throughout her life, till date, although she eats butter, cheeze, eggs etc. and loves eating food, cooked in oil. My mother has never been able to get along with house maids (she would always find fault with their work)and hence, has always used all the latest gadgets for her housework and cooking. She does her own shopping and marketing. Please get yourselves checked annually, for cancer after the age of 30yrs. The moment your Cancer surgeon confirms, you have cancer, get operated within 48hrs. Get chemotherapy/radiation etc. done immediately. Never waste time. If you are a Christian, approach the Church, of which you are a parishioner and they will immediately, help you with funds for the cancer/or any other operation, provided you furnish the parish priest/pastor the necessary documents to support your claim. I remember an actor in a Merchant-Ivory movie, who said Death is like going to the toilet, when you have to go, you go. === Ivo da C.Souza Subject: Re: [Goanet] Cancer Decisions - Simoncini's Bicarbonate TreatmentFor Cancer From: Edward Verdes assisted a few Goans in their fight with Cancer in Mumbai. ***You do not have to be a physician to speak about cancer.

No scientifically trained physician gives such a declaration, and claims that a patient died of cancer without knowing the details of the case and the exact cause of death, which can only be definitively determined by a pathological autopsy. Common sense tells us that a patient who survived cancer can die of other causes, such as a heart attack. ***Actually, I am trying to help them for palliation with my medical knowledge and training. Cancer can only be competently diagnosed and treated today in India by an expert surgical or medical oncologist who has done the following: 1. Completed a five and a half year degree course in modern medicine in a recognized medical college, including a rotating internship of one year. 2. Obtained a modern medical degree and a licence to practice modern scientific medicine. 3. Completed a recognized residency in a medical or surgical specialty. 3.

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Even quacks, it would seem, are in distinguished company! FN Notable historical persons accused of quackery * Thomas Allinson (1858–1918), founder of naturopathy. His views often brought him into conflict with the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the General Medical Council, particularly his opposition to doctors' frequent use of toxic drugs, his opposition to vaccination and his self promotion in the press.[20] His views and publication of them led to him being labeled a quack and being struck off by the General Medical Council for infamous conduct in a professional respect.[21][22] * Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843), founder of homeopathy. Hahnemann believed that all diseases were caused by miasms, which he defined as irregularities in the patient's vital force.[23] He also said that illnesses could be treated by substances that in a healthy person produced similar symptoms to the illness, in extremely low concentrations, with the therapeutic effect increasing with dilution and repeated shaking.[24][25][26] * L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986) was the founder of the Church of Scientology. He was an American science fiction writer, former United States Navy officer, and creator of Dianetics.[27][28][29] * John Harvey Kellogg (1852–1943) was a medical doctor in Battle Creek, Michigan, USA who ran a sanitarium using holistic methods, with a particular focus on nutrition, enemas and exercise. Kellogg was an advocate of vegetarianism, and is best known for the invention of the corn flake breakfast cereal with his brother, Will Keith Kellogg.[30] * Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) was a French chemist best known for his remarkable breakthroughs in microbiology. His experiments confirmed the germ theory of disease, also reducing mortality from puerperal fever (childbed), and he created the first vaccine for rabies. He is best known to the general public for showing how to stop milk and wine from going sour - this process came to be called pasteurization. His hypotheses initially met with much hostility, and he was accused of quackery on multiple occasions. However, he is now regarded as one of the three main founders of microbiology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch.[31] * Lovisa Årberg (1803–1866), the first Swedish female doctor. Årberg was met with strong resistance from male doctors and was accused of quackery. During the formal examination she was acquitted of all charges and allowed to practice medicine in Stockholm even though it was forbidden for women in the 1820s. She later received a medal for her work.[citation needed] * Linus Pauling (1901–1994), a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Pauling spent much of his later career arguing for the treatment of somatic and psychological diseases with orthomolecular medicine. One of his most famous claims was that the common cold could be cured with massive doses of vitamin C. These claims were initially met with much enthusiasm, especially amongst the general public, though subsequent double-blind studies indicated no effect beyond that of a placebo.[32] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackery#Notable_historical_persons_accused_of_quackery Quackery is a derogatory term used to describe unproven or fraudulent medical practices. Random House Dictionary describes a quack as a fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill or a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan.[1] The word quack derives from the archaic word quacksalver, of Dutch origin (spelled kwakzalver in contemporary Dutch), meaning boaster who applies a salve.[2] In the Middle Ages the word quack meant shouting. The quacksalvers sold their wares on the market shouting in a loud voice.[3] Health fraud is often used as a synonym for quackery, but this use can be problematic, since quackery can exist without fraud, a word which implies deliberate deception. -- FN +91-9822122436 P +91-832-2409490 Konkani adages http://konkani-adages.notlong.com/ Medieval Goa http://medieval-goa.notlong.com/

[Goanet] Goanet Reader: Goans in Pakistan, the small community which made a difference (Menin Rodrigues)

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Goans in Pakistan, the small community which made a difference GOANS in Karachi before and after Independence of Pakistan -- and their impact on lifestyle has run deep and long. By Menin Rodrigues If there was rhythm, colour and distinction associated to lifestyle in the Pakistan of 1950s, 60s and 70s, it came in part from the magnanimous contribution of the miniscule Goan community of Karachi. This made a real difference, setting precedents for today's gurus in music, sports and fashion. These enterprising people from the tiny region of Goa, along the west coast of South Asia and of pre-partition India, have been living and working in Karachi, then a prospering fishing village, since the mid-19th century. Goans continue to live in Karachi today, about 5,000 odd, but are relatively quiescent. Up to independence and a decade or two later, this hard-working community played an influential role in the city's growing prominence as a major seaport, business hub and a stylish cosmopolitan metropolis -- a sister-city to Bombay and a match to London's grandeur! The many landmarks, now forlorn and almost forgotten, are testimony of the city's eminence. PREAMBLE: The magnificent sandstone-building of the Karachi Goan Association (1886), requisitioned for two years as a Senior Officers Club during World War II and which also played host to the Duke of Windsor then Prince of Wales and the First Governor of the Province of Sind; the legendary portals of St. Patrick's High School (1862) and St. Joseph's Convent (1861) and the elite mansions, palatial houses, clubs, pubs, discotheques, gourmets, bakeries, theatres, 'koors' and gymkhanas in upscale Saddar; were the epicenters of all music, cultural and sporting activities of Goan-life. This is where Karachi's lifestyle originated. Remember the 'Club' scenes in early Pakistani movies -- the disoriented 'western' dances and clothing, the quintessential saxophonist, trumpeter and drummer, the drinks and sexy damsels? From the historic hockey defeat inflicted on Bhopal Wanderers (comprising of several players from India's gold-medal team of the 1936 Berlin Olympics) by the mostly-Goan school-boys team of St. Patrick, to the securing of Pakistan's railway lines in 1947 by Frank D'Souza (Member, Indian Railways Board) on the request of the Quaid-e-Azam; and from Archbishop Joseph Cordeiro becoming Pakistan's first Roman-Catholic Cardinal to the staging of Karachi's first Gilbert and O'Sullivan musical operas in the 1950s; are just a few milestones etched with Goan livery and legacy that will remain part of Pakistan's and Karachi's untold history. When on May 31, 1935 at 1.30 a.m., the great Quetta earthquake killed 75,000 people with one big jolt; a Goan Manuel Mendes working on the Sukkur Barrage Scheme was given charge of clearing the city of debris and corpses with teams of over 400 sappers and miners. He did it with dedication, determination and distinction. The delicious ceremonious cake made on the occasion of Karachi's first civic reception on August 25, 1947 in honor of Quaid-e-Azam Mohamed Ali Jinnah, Governor-General of Pakistan Dominion, was prepared and baked at the famed P.F. Pereira Sons, Bakers Confectioners (Estb: 1922). The other top Goan bakers of that time included the Misquita (famous for its hot-cross buns, still in operation as its brand name survives) and Lawrence bakery, respectively. When Pakistan came into being in 1947, the prominence of Goans was evident from the fact that one of Karachi's first elected Mayors was Manuel Misquita; it was a time when the city's judiciary (C.M. Lobo and brothers Edward and Herman Raymond as Judges of the High Court), the armed forces (see below), municipality, police (see below), customs (Cincinnatus D'Abreo as Collector Customs), telegraphs, hospitals, educational institutions, the port trust, railways and the world of music, sports and fashion, were without an iota of doubt, ruled by this highly educated, talented and law-abiding community. In 1952, Noel Misquita became the first Pakistani student at the Harvard Business School. The Garden East in Karachi today was 'officially' the old 'Cincinnatus Town' but unfortunately not registered at the municipality. The roads and streets of this amazingly green locality with

As I read the fight for Indian independence, the 64-dollar question is whether some aspects of the struggle should have been done differently? And what can we learn from those mistakes? Some political leaders of both Hindu and Muslim community, in an attempt to emotionally charge the uneducated masses, wrapped their freedom message with a religious flag (since there was no Indian flag). That religious-nationalistic fervor soon crept into secular leaders, at the local and national levels. There was little effort to encourage the various subgroups in communities to interact with and accommodate each other. Thus there was no local or national power-sharing, leading to the unraveling of the Lucknow Pact; which was the climax of Hindu-Muslim-Sikh unity. We see the same scenario of communal disharmony unfolding today in India. Local ethnic discord is fanned by national religious and political leaders. A society that does not learn from its history will repeat the same mistakes. Regards, GL

Surgery is costly and often without the desired effects... Regards. Fr.Ivo Ivo da C.Souza icso...@bsnl.in Yes, Dr.Gilbert. It is a delicate issue that of health care. We in Goa are complaining that it is so costly to be in the hospital for a few days. Drugs are costly, physicians' fees are high. In fact, life is costly. It is costly to become sick. Something you may not encounter in Goa. Thinking on your feet. Now you know why the cost of healthcare is so high.:=)) Regards, Gilbert An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist. He shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist's desk, he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a wrestler. He gave her his name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE. YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT? All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS. DON'T MESS WITH OLD FOLKS.:=))

Ivo has been posting. ***Mario is come back with his barrage of postings. The text is taken by me from Dr.Tullio Simoncini's Website. I have already said that it has to be investigated. The origin of cancer given by him may not be correct. What is absolute garbage in my posting? Does Mario understand it? We are also seeing a relentless barrage of unscientific and untested alternative medical information from Con Menezes as Santosh has begun to point out. ***What is wrong if the Website of Dr.Tullio Simoncini is brought to the knowledge of the readers? Why are these non-physicians posting information on serious issues like medicine and medical treatments from sources that promote medical information that has not been reviewed or tested by any respectable medical authority, that could lead to serious health problems for anyone who thinks this information is medically legitimate? ***Any one is free to judge for themselves. Let there be a discussion with several people from the field. Why non-physicians cannot post information about medicine for discussion? For example, if anyone out there believes Fr. Ivo's blanket garbage that cancer is incurable and acts accordingly by delaying testing and treatment, their lives may be put in jeopardy. ***I did not advise such foolishness. Mario is such a fool to misunderstand my clear statements. Once cancer is detected, it has to be immediately treated by cancer specialized hospitals. Have I advised anything different? I even mentioned surgeons and physicians who would immediately send the patients to Tata Memorial Hospital, even though they thought that it would not be cured, totally and permanently (let the people have the consolation of having done everything for the patient...). I have given examples of those who were declared cured after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation by the Hospital, but have died within one month... How do I put lives in jeopardy? Nobody is going to delay testing, but being asymptomatic it may come to knowledge at a late stage... Did I say that nothing should be done for treatment of cancer, though most of the times it will be palliation and prolongation of life? Is this not a serious necessary attempt? Why is Mario misunderstanding and belittling the non-physicians? NONE of the alternative medical information that Con is posting has been tested by any credible authority. NO ONE should believe any of this information without checking with a legitimate physician - some of it may be harmless, some of it may be harmful for your health. No one really knows within any probability of effectiveness. ***That is precisely what is being done. It is being tested on thousands of cancer patients by Dr.Tullio Simoncini. How many legitimate physicians have tested Dr.Simoncini's new method? A PRIEST with no medical training cannot be allowed to spread such falsehoods in a public forum without rebuttal by medical scientists like Santosh and the other practicing physicians who are members of Goanet, many of whom are strangely silent. ***Mario does not understand anything. I challenge any physician on this point. Dr.Santosh is just quoting American statistics. This is not happening here under our eyes. We do not need any medical training for this statement. I have spoken to physicians and surgeons, who do agree with me totally. A Priest without any medical training will be able to confirm the fact of cancer patients with the experience of the people. With my pastoral concern and medical training I am meeting cancer patients...who have taken all medication from cancer hospitals, but are just eager to know whether they are going to live for some time... I can only advise them: Be not afraid. Mario Goveia in America is living (with cancer...) for some years, so you also will be living in Goa... Let Mario not accuse me of spreading falsehoods in a public forum... Regards. Fr.Ivo

[Goanet] 'We don't have to be in Goa to improve it' (Herman Carneiro, in TOI, Goa)
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Two new showrooms/office spaces, double height (135 sq m each with bath) for lease in upscale Campal/Miramar beach area, Panaji, Goa. Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com 'We don't have to be in Goa to improve it' Says Herman Carneiro who plans to include online medical expertise on his flagship Goan website CORDELIA WOLFRAM Times News Network The Goan diaspora is spread far and wide. Yet distance has failed to deter them from contributing to improving the lives of Goans. For many of them, connecting to their homeland means at best, annual visits. If not, it involves socialising at Goan clubs or keeping abreast of information via the super highway - Internet. One of the oldest and largest Goan websites, which today brags of 12,000 subscribers and several more online hits, was started by a young and dynamic doctor-in-the-making, Herman Carneiro. Although born and brought up in Kenya and the US, Herman believes you can make a difference at home from anywhere. He says, We don't all have to be in Goa to love it and to work to improve it. We can work in our local Goan communities to help out as well. Herman has just graduated from medical school. He has a masters in epidemiology with a focus in infectious disease control. Right now, he's in a training programme in London. Combining medicine with the website he started on his 18th birthday, he has launched an online network of Goan doctors and health professionals. Via e-mail, he talks about this exciting project and about being a Goan abroad reaching out to Goans at home. Q: What motivated you to start a network of Goans? From a very young age, the value of having a close-knit community and supporting one another was instilled in me. I missed that sense of belonging when I moved to Boston, USA for university, where there were few Goans. Here I was introduced to the Internet. Interaction was limited and there weren't any online Goan groups. Once I had enough people, I thought it would be nice to start the first Goan network online, to create a close-knit community like I had in Kenya, only on a global scale. Q: How does the website connect Goans across the globe? Members discuss issues, both historical and current, that affect Goa and Goans around the world. We try to promote the language, Konkani, but I think we can do a better job of that. The website functions as a non-profit organisation as well as running community-building projects in Goa. We promote local businesses by giving them free advertising at times. Our latest creation is an online network of Goan doctors and health professionals. Through this network, we can share research happening in Goa or that which has an impact on the health of Goans. We share our collective expertise in improving the health of Goans or healthcare in Goa. This acts as a notification network in the event of outbreaks of disease. I'd like more health professionals to join this network. Q: Would you think of returning to Goa? I feel like moving to Goa one day. But... I have so much more to accomplish before that. I will definitely contribute to Goa though. I hope the network of health professionals takes off. There's a lot of potential in that network to contribute in Goa in so many ways, be it free clinicals or channelling our expertise to improve health and healthcare in Goa. Q: As a young Goan living abroad, why did you feel compelled to connect with Goa? I think that when people in Goa think of us being born and brought up outside Goa, they assume we've lost our heritage. It's true in a lot of cases. Many of the young Goans today have lost their heritage and don't care to find their roots. They are integrated into their home communities and Goa is nothing other than a tourist destination for them. It's understandable. However, this is not true with all. I may not have lived in Goa, but I am very much Goan. I feel a sense of pride, duty and belonging to Goa and Goans. cordelia.fran...@timesgroup.com http://tinyurl.com/o75883

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Gullickson, Parrott pull off another upset to win mixed doubles title By Ravi Ubha Thursday, September 10, 2009 Maybe it was destiny. The inexperienced U.S. duo of Carly Gullickson and Travis Parrott eased past heavy favorites - and defending champions - Cara Black and Leander Paes 6-2, 6-4 to claim a maiden Grand Slam mixed doubles title. In fact, it was their first major title of any kind. I still can't believe we actually won the US Open, Gullickson said in her post-match press conference. It's weird to me. This after Gullickson and Parrott, wild cards who possessed a modest five doubles titles between them, saved two match points in their opener against Nadia Petrova and Max Mirnyi. Growing in confidence, they didn't lose another set and knocked off three more seeds, including No. 1s Liezel Huber and Mahesh Bhupathi in the semifinals. At least India's Paes and Zimbabwe's Black, winners of a combined 91 doubles titles, still have something to play for. Paes and Czech partner Lukas Dlouhy meet Bhupathi and Mark Knowles in the men's doubles finale, while Black, top ranked in doubles for a while, and Huber remain in the women's event. When you've won an event before, you always give yourselves a good chance, Paes said in a courtside interview. But I think our opponents were too good for us. Paes and Black knew they were in for a tough time from the outset. They saved three break points in the opening game, with Paes, 36 but still armed with quick reflexes, surprisingly staying back. Paes, who lived in New York for more than three years, saved one match point with a wonderful backhand from outside the tram lines, and following a break, held comfortably to cut the deficit to 5-4. You can bet they'll team up again. http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/match_reports/2009-09-10/200909101252614933609.html

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Speaking of brotherhood and sharing of common feelings, it brings to mind the unity displayed by our Hindu community. At the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, practically every Hindu family gathers at their ancestral home every year where they pray and dine together at Mont Saibinnimchem Fest. Sometime ago, I was told by our elderly that we Christians, too, shared the same tradition in Goa i.e. families gathered at their ancestral home and prayed and dined together. But today, instead of gathering and re-uniting, we are drifting away. However, while we have forgotten or are trying to forget our culture/tradition, the Mangaloreans have upheld it and still follow it. The feast of the Nativity is one of the biggest feasts in the whole of Karnataka, especially in Mangalore. At this feast, brothers, sisters and their families, including priests and nuns, gather at their parental home or in one of the sibling's home where they re-unite, spend time and dine together. On this feast day, they prepare a dozen vegetable dishes, and, however rich one may be, everyone squats on the floor and eats. (The same goes with Konkani language - however highly educated one may be, he/she speaks Konkani.) I am sure there is much more to this celebration of tradition than what I have written. Therefore, I would appreciate it if any Mangalorean comes forward and shares his/her experiences in detail on this forum so we may follow suit and reestablish our familial connections. Thank you.
