[Goanet] Goanet Reader: Politicians in Goa are just taking care of their own interests (Nisser Dias)
POLITICIANS IN GOA ARE JUST TAKING CARE OF THEIR OWN INTERESTS By Nisser Dias nisserd...@gmail.com 9422437029 Last week, elected representatives -- or rather some of the ministers of the Congress-led coalition government -- set yet another precedent in India's tourist state. The G7 as the group is known and named after the Group of Seven, but now branded as the Gang of Seven, has served an ultimatum to the chief minister. They've done so by indicating to him in no uncertain terms that he dare not lift a finger to drop them as ministers under any circumstances. Else, his term as chief minister too would be cut short. In other words the Gang of Seven, most of whose members either has a shady past or a criminal record (at the time of penning this column, two cases were registered against the Tourism minister Mickky Pacheco) are telling not only the chief minister but also the people of Goa, that the law is not applicable to them. That the law is only to the lay person. To put it in Shashi Tharoor's words, it is applicable only to the cattle class, that is, to us the people of Goa. Goa's legacy as a paradise on earth -- not forgetting being one of the global hot-spots for its flora and fauna -- is based on it being home to grand or aristocratic architecture, virgin beaches, a soothing green countryside, crystal clear waterfalls, calmly flowing rivers and easy green rolling hills. This all is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. And in its place what we hear of are drug deals, rapes, murders and what we see is utter contempt for the law. Who is responsible for this collapse of law and order? It is me and you, for electing self-centered individuals to run the administration of this state. Individuals whose primary aim is to fill their coffers even if it mean to ride roughshod the law or bend it to suit their interests. We expected out elected representatives to be role models for our citizens, but they have let us down miserably. Last week, the political scenario in the state was in a state of flux, with the Gang of Seven flexing their muscles in connivance with State and Central leaders. Their intention being not the betterment of the State and its people, but simply their own wellbeing. There were rumours last week that the chief minister wanted to rein in dissent against him by the Gang of Seven. An opportunity came the CM's way with the NIA (National Investigation Agency) probing the links of Transport minister Sudin Dhavlikar's wife with the Hindu fundamentalist group Sanatan Sanstha. The latter is charged with having tried to carry out bomb explosions in Margao on the eve of Diwali. The CM apparently wanted to ease him out of cabinet, at the same time using the yardstick applied to senior Congressman Dayanand Narvekar, Education minister Babush Monserrate was also in the firing line, as a charge-sheet was filed against him in a criminal case. But the group of seven caused the plans of the chief minister to go haywire. Interestingly what has surfaced in the public domain is the fact that it is no longer the chief minister's prerogative to either induct or drop a minister. Neither is it within his discretion to allot portfolios of his choice to his cabinet colleagues. Infact, our chief minister has been reduced to a mere postman who does what the Centre directs him too. Besides, he also gives in to the wishes of the coalition partner, and further agrees to the demands of the Independents supporting the government. Inspite of all this, none are happy. Either they feel they have not been included in the Cabinet when they deserve to, or because those included could not get the choicest or the lucrative portfolios. Hence, once again the rigmarole begins and the clamour goes out for a leadership change. This means toppling bids, threats to pull out of the government and so on. And for what and whom? It is surely not for the betterment of the State or its people but for our politicians themselves. Let's us analyze our ministers and their criminal record. First the Gang of Seven: Tourism minister Mickky Pacheco was involved in a shack burning case in Betalbatim even before he became a MLA. He was later acquitted. He still though has some cases pending with the police like the infamous casino case and, just this week, the police have registered offences against him for assault on a photojournalist and filling of low lying area in Colva. Earlier too, there were instances where he allegedly assaulted a KTC driver and an electricity department engineer while they were on duty. For his brash behaviour, he has even denied a gun license. Then comes Education minister Babush Monserrate, who very recently he has been charged with an 'attempt to murder' in the Panjim police station
[Goanet] MORATORIUM on new mining leases
Dear All The response from Goanetters to sign this PETITION so far has been very disappointing! YET IT JUST TAKES A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME ! Please do sign this PETITION and help us arrest the total destruction of Goa! Just click on the link below. After years of struggle against uncontrolled mining in Goa, we finally managed to get this MORATORIUM on new mining leases against all odds and all forces! However our chances of maintaining the current MORATORIUM long term on new mining leases should depend on the results of the report from NEERI, instead of the proposal from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, which makes it dependent on the new MINING POLICY which will practically take us back to where we were before - which is in the hands of the mining lobby. You can now sign a Petition to the Minister of State for Environment and Forest Mr Jaiaram Ramesh on http://goanvoice.org.uk/miningpetition.php The petition is not to lift the moratorium on new mining leases till such time as the ministry has received and considered the environmental impact assessment and Goa's mining carrying capacity report of NEERI.

Re: [Goanet] StyleSpeak: The Art of Noise
The other day it was Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão writing about loud music Noise pollution. Now it is Wendell Rodricks. Today I was requested to attend the meeting with the Collector (North) by some of the HC instituted committee members against noise pollution to hand in a memorandum with regard to Nite-Club IVY at Baga (belonging to Calangute MLA Agnelo Fernandes) which has re-started its late-nite partying well outside of the premises disturbing the already taxed peaceful ambience of the vicinity. This has been made possible by the new regulation where the Home Ministry has taken charge to issue licences to night parties, including raves. Now it is that much easier to get cracking with a rave party than before with the blessings of the Home Ministry, more specifically the Home Minister, who will be a notch richer by the night. Wendell has struck the right chord and it has made me look up, surprised. He has invoked the word 'SANITY' Let me add two more words before it to make it real 'People for Political Sanity' Only this can ensure that the sea waves breaking over Chapora hills will be heard not only in Colvale but also in Moira, again, like they used to be heard when I was a small boy too, a long long time ago. I challenge Wendell to take up this potent 'PPS' issue and trash it until all these 'mad political rascals' are driven into the Arabian Sea. Wendell ! Do I hear a 'Yes' coming out from your end?? It will be so much easier than you think it is. Of course, you will be not alone. I, who have fought loud music noise pollution for almost 25 years is solidly with you and others who will want to go ahead. To start with, let few of us meet at AZAD Maidan, Panjim this Sunday at 5 p.m. just to say Hello , PPS?? Cheers floriano goasuraj 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org It is not ENOUGH that GOOD n HONEST persons contest elections. It is not ENOUGH that GOOD n HONEST voters elect good n honest persons.

[Goanet] Goanet Reader: Goans don't read enough or write enough... Partying, eating, dancing and sports are what Goans love -- Ben Antao (Frederick Noronha, Gomantak Times)
Goans don't read enough or write enough... Partying, eating, dancing and sports are what Goans love -- Ben Antao -- Ben Antao was a journalist in Goa (The Navhind Times), Bombay (Indian Express) and in Canada, and is an active writer in the world of both fiction and non-fiction. Recently, he edited a book of expat Goans in Canada, and shares with FREDERICK NORONHA some of his insights into the world of Goans, writing and publishing. - FN: Tell us about the book? How would you describe it briefly? 'Goa Masala' is an anthology of stories (both fiction and non-fiction) by Canadian Goans with a Goan flavour. The book seeks to record for posterity the memories of senior Canadian Goans who have made Canada their home in the past 50 years or so. The project was initiated for 55 Plus Goan Association of Mississauga, Ontario, by Rudi Rodrigues, 60, a talented painter and design artist, whom I got to know during the 2008 International Goan Convention in Toronto. 'Goa Masala' contains about 40 stories, most of them written by Goans who have settled in Canada after spending years in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania in East Africa, as well as in Rangoon, Myanmar. Their memoirs range from an elephant hunt in Tanzania, to the removal of evil eye (dishti), to arranged marriages and snakes. FN: What prompted you (and the publishers) to take up such an initiative? Actually, it was Rudi who initiated the project through his 55PGA Book Club. He wanted senior Goans to read Goan books and literature and invited me to do a reading from my novel 'The Tailor's Daughter' and answer questions, which I did (July 2009) before a group of eight Goans. Later we discussed the idea of having the senior Goans write down their experiences in the form of stories. He took up the ball and called for submissions for a short story contest. FN: Was it easy to get the book completed? What were the challenges to put it together? No, it wasn't easy to get the Goans excited about writing. Some had ideas but didn't know how to present them. Rudi persevered and got a few 55PGA members to read the early submissions and correct them. Later he sent me more than a dozen submissions for editing and opinion. I was glad to do so as I wanted to encourage our Goans to write their memoirs and experiences in East Africa. Gradually, the submissions grew and I read and edited the entire 40 stories at least twice. I also volunteered to be the publisher as my company A Plus Publishing had published three books before in which Rudi was involved, doing the design and formatting. As a publisher I could get an ISBN for Goa Masala and also have it included in the archives of the federal government's publishing agency, Legal Deposit in Ottawa. FN: Do you think Goans abroad express themselves enough in writing? Do they read enough? From my experience they don't read enough or write enough. I think they need to be encouraged and supported in the pastime of reading and writing. Writing and reading are intellectual exercises whose benefit and value take time to accrue and appreciate. Whereas partying, dancing, eating, drinking and playing sports are sensual activities that Goans love to participate in. So 'Goa Masala' was an effort to pursue some intellectual fun. FN: But is it easier, with all the technology and communication possibilities today, to put together books now? What do you feel about this? Yes, it is easier to bring out books today with the advanced technology of print on demand. If writers love to write and wish to share their writing with a limited readership they can pursue this POD (print-on-demand) route with limited capital. However, they should be pragmatic and understand that book publishing is not a money-making enterprise. Only five out of 100 books published anywhere in the world today break even, I understand. FN: How did the book fare? Since 55PGA received a grant from the government, their objective was to break even and not to make a profit. So Rudi and I discussed the print run and settled on 300 copies, all of which were sold by launch day (Feb 6, 2010). Since then I've received expressions of buying interest from 12 people; but we'll publish more only if there are prior and paid sales for at least 200 because of costs ($12-15 to print a copy). FN: Do you have any more such plans in the pipeline? No, none at the moment. FN: What do you feel were the main contributions of such an initiative? I feel the main contribution has been to bring senior Goans together to write their reminiscences, many of which are exciting and informative, and see their work in print.

I will skip Jesus the Christ's surname, but give you the surname of another Jesus who presumably lived before Jesus Christ. He was Jeshu ben Pandira. Its all esoteric material, and Steiner of Anthroposophyhttp://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/EsoChristian/1904p01.html talked about this enity in a 1911 lecture in Leipzig. (Btw, the name Jesus has undergone multiple transliterations). It a bit odd, but today I went to pick up a book by Richard Smoley, The Dice Game of Shiva (recommended by mt friend Madhav Chari from Chennai), but before I got to it--a book on Steiner's lectures, and the Leipzig lecture caught my attention. Such things happens to me often, but lets leave it at that. I believe that it behooves us to be reasonable with each other on Goanet, if we are to maintain some relationship over the next say two decades. My point being that with all our insecurities, it is as though a red flag has been shown to the bulls when one says, But right now I am curious to know the SURNAME of our lord Jesus Christ Even if you are a Christian, the question is a bit jarring. How about, Can someone tell me what was Jesus's surname?, and perhaps also in a separate email. But before that anticipate that in the first place such things are known to a few, very few, and also fewer Catholics read the Bible. So I hope you checked out for yourself on Wiki, etc., or some encyclopedia. Do understand, that this is a suggestion and by now you must know I harbor no ill will towards you or others---although I do get up in arms sometimes for reasons other than encountering difference of I and the Other as opposed to the I, leading to We---related to Ahamkara. Having learnt, and learning from Samkhya, Sanathan Dharma, Zen etc., I really do believe that Indian Christians can too, as well as, there being a lot in western societies that we can all learn from. Anandane raha. Anandit dhrustit jag pahayla milel. Sagla purna honar. venantius j pinto Here is some information doe a reliable source: JESUS The word Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous, which in turn is the transliteration of the Hebrew Jeshua, or Joshua, or again Jehoshua, meaning Jehovah is salvation. Though the name in one form or another occurs frequently in the Old Testament, it was not borne by a person of prominence between the time of Josue, the son of Nun and Josue, the high priest in the days of Zorobabel. It was also the name of the author of Ecclesiaticus, of one of Christ's ancestors mentioned in the genealogy, found in the Third Gospel (Luke 3:29), and one of the St. Paul's companions (Colossians 4:11). During the Hellenizing period, Jason, a purely Greek analogon of Jesus, appears to have been adopted by many (1 Maccabees 8:17; 12:16; 14:22; 2 Maccabees 1:7; 2:24; 4:7-26; 5:5-10; Acts 17:5-9; Romans 16:21). The Greek name is connected with verb iasthai, to heal; it is therefore, not surprising that some of the Greek Fathers allied the word Jesus with same root (Eusebius, Dem. Ev., IV; cf. Acts 9:34; 10:38). Though about the time of Christ the name Jesus appears to have been fairly common (Josephus, Ant., XV, ix, 2; XVII, xiii, 1; XX, ix, 1; Bel. Jud., III, ix, 7; IV, iii, 9; VI, v, 5; Vit., 22) it was imposed on our Lord by God's express order (Luke 1:31; Matthew 1:21), to foreshow that the Child was destined to save his people from their sins. Philo (De Mutt. Nom., 21) is therefore, right when he explains Iesous as meaning soteria kyrion; Eusebius (Dem., Ev., IV, ad fin.; P.G., XXII, 333) gives the meaning Theou soterion; while St. Cyril of Jerusalem interprets the word as equivalent to soter (Catechetical Lectures X.13). This last writer, however, appears to agree with Clement of Alexandria in considering the word Iesous as of Greek origin (The Pedagogue III.12); St. Chrysostom emphasizes again the Hebrew derivation of the word and its meaning soter (Homily 2 on Matthew, No. 2), thus agreeing with the exegesis of the angel speaking to St. Joseph (Matthew 1:21). Surprisingly, even the French call Jesus Jezu, just like us. how He was addressed in Portuguese? CHRIST The word Christ, Christos, the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Messias, means anointed. According to the Old Law, priests (Exodus 29:29; Leviticus 4:3), kings (1 Samuel 10:1; 24:7), and prophets (Isaiah 61:1) were supposed to be anointed for their respective offices; now, the Christ, or the Messias, combined this threefold dignity in His Person. It is not surprising, therefore, that for centuries the Jews had referred to their expected Deliverer as the Anointed; perhaps this
[Goanet] Two die of rabies in Bicholim
-- Samir Umarye BICHOLIM, MARCH 10 Two persons from Bicholim taluka died of rabies on Monday, after being bitten by dogs a few months ago. According to Indian Medical Association (Goa) President Dr Shekhar Salkar, Tilakprasad Acharya (45) of Gaonkarwada-Mulgao and Bhagirathi L Paryekar (60) from Dodamarg were bitten by dogs a few months ago. Acharya and Paryekar were taken to a hospital in Bicholim on Saturday. However, since doctors at the hospital detected rabies, they were rushed to GMC hospital on the same day. According to reports, Bhagirathi tried some local treatment and did not pay much attention to the wounds. “She was behaving like a dog during the last stages and was shifted to GMC Bambolim,” Dr Salkar told the media. Acharya had earlier gone to Sanquelim PHC and had also visited the Bicholim PHC but he was told that there were no anti-rabies vaccines in the hospital. He was admitted to GMC hospital on March 6 and died after two days. “I had also told the doctors and nurses to take the anti-rabies dose after coming in contact with the rabies patient, but I was told that the dose was not available in the hospital,” Dr Salkar said. When some reporters enquired with officials at the Bicholim PHC on Wednesday, they were told that they had received the anti-rabies injections. Meanwhile, Dr Salkar has cautioned health authorities and the State government to be aware about the dreadful disease and to remain alert with all necessary vaccines and equipment in all the hospitals to tackle cases of rabies.

And on a Saturday, the moment the first group is done, a different religion takes over (from one source, thankfully). Then on a Sunday, the third religious place of worship (I do not think there are any Goichis left in Vascu) does its call on loud speakers. Phew,yaar, Too much no? I would think with so much religion going, folks in Vascu would be nice, kind and show a little humility or something no?

[Goanet] A Repugnant Suggestion By The Chief Justice Of India
This is exactly the kind of stuff that happens, and perhaps a plaintive strategy is being suggested towards what is Violent Seizure. Why plaintive? Because it suggests a helplessness, as well as a nonchalance in one of our Executive branches. We want change but finding it hard to spread understanding. I know someone whose fathers drivers daughter was abducted while attending her Std XII exams if I am not mistaken and raped. It was impressed upon her by the rapists family---older relatives as other do-gooders, that she marry her rapist. She eventually did. She was also told by the rapist that he would kill her father. Please do not ask me details, nor write me aggrieved letters about statue of limitations, etc. This is also why I do not place much store by education. The Hon. Chief Justice of India, Justice K G Balakrishna did not study Underwater welding, or Milling, or even OBGyn. He studied Law which stems from Moral Systems. It means very little eventually, but we need education to get somewhere and during that time based on ones acculturation and sense of morals---the ability to hurt is either subsumed or eradicated. When one has seen and heard so much of cruelty and brutality as I have (and others I presume)---life starts to look very different. It is people like me who end up as some of the most arch haters of Politics as usual, the State, and the entire governing apparatus---IF ONE does not QUICKLY learn how to stop the mind going off. We see shit-eating grins, miles off, and the body has no option but to become all eyes. Instead of taking arms (which many of us would be EMINENTLY qualified to DO) one attempts smaller humane changes. But they too get spurned and despised, even at smaller levels. But one has to proceed with a sincere smile, since one makes a choice to do so. Others develop their own ways of dealing with such issues living in the west. Most of them suffocate under the weigh of the civilization they wish to remain attached to as per their interpretations in changing scenarios (including the changes manifesting in their own parents, spouses and children; and more); yet slowly asphyxiate while attempting to maintain unfathomed cross-cultural balances of their making. This applies in India too, venantius j pinto From: Freddy Fernandes ffernandes@emaar.ae To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] A Repugnant Suggestion By The Chief Justice Of India A Repugnant Suggestion By The Chief Justice Of India As I was browsing through the news papers on the net, on Women's day, one of the articles on TOI did attract my attention in particular, the statement made by the Hon. Chief Justice of India, Justice K G Balakrishnan, that due regard must be given to the wishes of a rape victim, if she wants to marry the rapist or give birth to a child conceived following the crime. I am in no way as qualified as the CJI, nor do I understand anything major about the law process, but as a concerned citizen of India, I am much perturbed by this statement.

[Goanet] A Repugnant Suggestion By The Chief Justice Of India
JC, you are correct. I misspelt statute. I hear what you say and agree that the reading of news particularly involves looking things up, as finding the paper delivered by the CJ, etc. The translation of specific information, and its presentation into a news item often leaves much to be desired. I have nothing to add, and I was not referring to abortions. Also, as an aside---my response on this topic does not mean I validate the word repugnant in the subject headline. The same is true when I respond to other Subject topics. venantius

[Goanet] Who is the liar, the journalist or the minister?
In response to the question (We would also like to know what action did the GUJ taken on this assault case?) Frederick Noronha writes: As far as the Goa Union of Journalists goes -- which is supposed to be both a trade union AND a professional body -- why don't you sign up and understand the limitations of that body? I think GUJ has spoken up on many other issues. The original poser, and I agree with him, would be contending that if it did then, it should also do so now. It did not have any limitations then, why should it have limiations now? Best wishes. Dr UG Barad

[Goanet] Patriotism was guiding force for Bhau to run Goa: Shashikala
Patriotism was guiding force for Bhau to run Goa: Shashikala Written by RAMNATH N PAI RAIKAR Friday, 12 March 2010 00:34 PANAJI: The former chief minister, Ms Shashikala Kakodkar, remembering her legendary father, late Bhausaheb alias D B Bandodkar on the eve of the commencement of his birth centenary celebrations said that patriotism was the guiding force for Bhau to run Goa. “Bhau was never a politician by choice, but the situation that prevailed during the post-Liberation period, including unanimous decision of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party leaders, forced him to head the state administration,” she recalled, observing that even though her father was not a statesman, he stood by his decisions and ensured that they were implemented in true spirit, for the benefit of the masses. “Two of his radical decisions were opening Marathi medium schools in nook and corner of Goa, and bringing land reforms in the region,” Ms Kakodkar stated, pointing out that Bhau was totally unimpressed with the British system of education, which was adopted by the independent India, and was of the opinion that basic education in Marathi and Konkani as well as Urdu language, if the students existed, would not only link the children to their culture and tradition but also build their national character. “Furthermore, my father was well aware of the feudal system prevalent in Goa and felt that the poor and downtrodden people, both Hindus and Christians, should be exposed to education as its absence leads to illiteracy, and illiteracy breeds poverty,” she added. Speaking further, Ms Kakodkar said, “Bhau was of the firm opinion that any amount of money as well as strong will to do something good for the benefit of society were just not enough, and a person with such intentions needed to have power at his disposal.” And he used power just for that purpose, she noted. Stating that Bhau was a visionary who envisaged Goa University and started post-graduation centre, thought of Kala Academy complex and built a Kala Academy theatre in the heart of the city, chalked out industrial future for Goa and developed industrial estates as well as invited large industries like MRF, Ciba Geigy and Zuari Agro Chemicals to the region, and undertook vigorous development of infrastructure for the Union Territory, Ms Kakodkar maintained, “In fact, it goes to the credit of Bhau that all big industries placed their faith in him and opened their units in Goa.” “Many versions as regards Opinion Poll are in existence, but people hardly know the reality behind Bhau’s support for merger of Goa in Maharashtra,” Ms Kakodkar said, mentioning that Bhau genuinely believed in merger but once the public verdict went against it, Bhau accepted the same gracefully and tried to detach himself from politics. “However, so great was his influence on the Goan people that he was elected to power immediately after the Opinion Poll, thus reaffirming their trust in him,” she remembered. When asked as to whether her illustrious father wanted to groom her as his political successor, the way Pt Jawaharlal Nehru did for Indira Gandhi, Ms Kakodkar said that her father never wanted her to join politics. “However, he wanted me to be very much aware of the world of politics and provided me with lot of books pertaining to great leaders around the world,” Ms Kakodkar informed, recollecting that she also helped her father in receiving towering personalities from various fields, at their residence. “In fact, my mother, a traditional Hindu lady, rarely came out to receive the official guests, but I remember a close associate of Lord Mountbatten writing to my father that he was overwhelmed with the welcome accorded to him by Bhau and my mother, during his visit to our house,” Ms Kakodkar said. “I had been keenly participating in the election campaigns of the MGP and during the 1967 assembly polls, the MGP supporters from Ponda suggested that I should contest the election, which not only took me by surprise but also made me tell them that Bhau would shrug off the idea,” Ms Kakodkar revealed. “When Bhau came to know about this suggestion presented to him in the form of a signed memorandum, he chose to remain absent at the central committee meeting of the MGP and allowed the members to take related decision without any pressure,” she informed, “And that’s how I went to contest the assembly polls.” Recalling the grim day of Bhau’s demise, Ms Kakodkar said that succeeding Bhau as the chief minister of the Union Territory was the last thing in her mind. “All of us were overtaken by grief and in no way such a thought could come to my mind,” she maintained, recollecting that the then governor S K Bannerji was in Daman, while her brother, Siddharth was in Mumbai, all set to board a plane to America. “However, as I came to know later, the MGP in one voice decided on me as the next chief minister of Goa, Daman and Diu, and
