[Goanet-News] NEWS: 2, 000-odd crowd near Mandovi bridge ... protest over highway issue in Goa (GoaTNT)
OSCAR REBELLO, GBA, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME AND A HIGHWAY TO HELL 02-11-2010 | 07:33 PM By GoaTNT Writer Panaji: Just when one got the feeling that chief minister Digambar Kamat has cunningly out-manouvered, outsmarted, outdone, out-thought, out-silenced and ran into ground organisations like the Goa Bachao Abhiyaan and other civil society groups and activists with repeated fake assurances on key issues, the National Highway might just reverse the tide against him. Dr Oscar Rebello, once the blue-eyed boy of civil agitation in Goa, who perhaps suffered from the infamous 'Stockholm Syndrome' (Wiki describes the SS as a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages -- in this case Rebello, express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors -- in this case Kamat, that appear irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, essentially mistaking a lack of abuse from their captors as an act of kindness) is once again walking the 'Highway' to hell. He was one of the several speakers, who took the streets of Panaji under the banner of national highway diversion action committee (NHDAC) as part of a 2,00 strong rally in the city. “We don’t have a habit of coming on the streets but the Digamber Kamat government has made a history by making sure that people are agitating on streets almost every day with some or other demand,” Rebello said addressing 2,000-odd crowd near Mandovi bridge. The crowd which assembled at Azad maidan walked till the Mandovi bridge where they were stopped. Agitating leaders gave their speeches while agitators squatted on the road. Oscar drew parallel between highway agitation and Regional Plan agitation. “It was then that the Goans showed the government their might and this time too, history will repeat,” he said. The doctor also said that if we don’t protest now, 50 years down the line, Goa would be known as a den of prostitution. Sunil Desai, convenor of NHDAC, said that the agitation will now hit all the villages. “We will be holding village level meetings and after Diwali there will be a meeting in Margao in which protestors will march to the residence of Digamber Kamat,” he said. Leaders cutting across party line supported the agitation, which went peacefully except for minor scuffle between scuffle between agitators and police at Old Mandovi bridge. http://www.goatnt.com/full_story.php?id=118 _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

[Goanet] Goa?s Doomsday Scenario
Basically in one circle Dr V A Pai Panandikar, the noted economist and policy planner is talking about having SEZs. The result of Goa?s shifting industrial policy is that industrialists no longer trust Goa and are loath to set up shop here. Really? And so? And that is the extent of planning. I hope he and others have more ideas in the mix. People must learn to live within their means. For Goans it may mean art, crafts, food, boarders, etc. People have to realize that there are other models. Capitalism if that is all they relate to, can be made to function for themselves. The politicians and various elites will always sell nostalgia (basically, Popot or Pipit -- with texture and sheen). That is what allows the coffers to be filled in ways that align with their economic mindsets, economic planning and economic policies. Most of these so-thought of bright lights could not make make a plain dal if one held a penknife to their heads and a pit-bull near their buttocks. Perhaps an essay I am writing and due soon, should be re-framed asap, to The Trafficking in Nostalgia. venantius j pinto Message: 9 Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:39:07 -0400 From: Goanet News Service n...@goanet.org To: goa...@goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] Goa?s Doomsday Scenario Goa?s Doomsday Scenario Published on: October 31, 2010 - 03:16 By M?rio Cabral E S?

The scenario has radically changed and so, new SEZs are no longer justified but it did not mean that government should go back on already licensed SEZs.

=== This is further to our ‘Ghost hunting’ trip on Alma or ASD’s eve (For Part I see link below) We drive for about 30 minutes, without looking back.. via Bambolim When approaching Miramar, we saw a white car ahead of us with louder music on, we were hoping there were at least 4 occupants.. The car suddenly stopped almost in the middle of the bypass Road (Jack de Sequeira Road, Miramar beach). We slowed down and quickly took a pic, noted No. too Guess what? There was no body inside http://www.flickr.com/photos/dirtypanjim4/5139001802/ Then we decided to get out of the car and take some fresh air. As usual, Beach was in complete darkness. Under the dead highmast, there are some benches We heard some noises, thought a group having fun. Decided to take one of the benches to relax Nobody there… however we did find some empty bottles etc http://www.flickr.com/photos/dirtypanjim4/5136226603/ 'Let’s go home' said one of us While heading home via DB Road. We saw a man with his head down sitting at a bus stop, near TOI. When reached closer, he is gone (we did not see him going though) However, he did leave behind a pair of shoes http://www.flickr.com/photos/dirtypanjim4/5136837818/ We then arrived market area.. We saw another spooky man on the floor/Promenade Captured him on camera before he disappears http://www.flickr.com/photos/dirtypanjim4/5136217287/ Grave man II ? This is really the hair-raising one (at Panjim Ferry point) Look, is he not the same grave man? - What you talking about? We reversed, just to make sure.. O my god!

Re: [Goanet] Tiatr DON VANNTE could feature in top 3
Dear Joe Thanks for the unbiased reviews you have been posting regularly. As a suggestion, I would request you to also post a copy of the tiatr flyer ( if any ) or dates and venues where our family or friends can watch the tiatrs in Goa.

However, her statement quoted above is not necessarily true, nor should it be true. The right and left wings in the U.S., for instance, are as rabid as in India. Living under a constitution that guarantees freedom of expression, none of the exponents of these ideologies is silenced or can be silenced by any means for any length of time. In fact, in most cases the opposite happens. After publicly claiming that their own beliefs are the best and the truest of all - indeed, going beyond and claiming that any deviation from their own beliefs is evil - they become much more famous and rich, receiving highly lucrative book deals, and radio and TV show contracts.

On another aspect, we have preachers of hate here in London, who have not been sued by anyone; not only that, even the Police have been unable to arrest them, until only recently. Difficult to have them deported, tax payers end up footing their Legal Aid bill and they continue to live on State benefits while they carry on their hate propaganda. To sue for defamation, one has to have minimum £50k - how many will undertake such a task ? Only the rich and famous whose egos have been hurt.

[Goanet] Press Note-TAG
Press Note *For Favour of Publication* * * *Meet the Tiatr Artiste ‘Master Vaz’* A special programme *‘Meet the Tiatr Artiste – Master Vaz’* was organised by Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG) on 29th October 2010 at the Conference Hall of TAG, Campal, Panaji-Goa. Speaking on the occasion the veteran tiatr artiste Mr. Jose Lawrence Vaz popularly known as Master Vaz narrated numerous life experiences throughout his journey in the field of Goan Tiatr. Master Vaz delved on the conditions that existed during that time on the tiatr stage and disclosed that there was no proper transport, no proper equipment and no adequate facilities to stage tiatrs during that time. Inspite of lack of facilities,the tiatrs staged during that time were more meaningful and enjoyable. This was mainly because of the dedication of the artistes of that time to the tiatr stage. Narrating his experiences as an actor who did female roles throughout his career disclosed that he along with other artistes namely Vincent de Saligao, Ms.Julie, Remmie Colaco etc. all of them acting as females on the tiatr stage were responsible to keep the tiatr stage not only active but vibrant. He also disclosed that the artistes of that times namely Minguel Rod, Young Menezes, Kid Boxer and others with whom Master Vaz acted in different roles and sang numerous songs were all genuinely dedicated to the cause of Tiatr. It is for this reason that they did not make any money as modern day tiatr artistes do. Answering questions from his well wishers, he stated that it was an honour to him done by TAG by organising such a beautiful programme for the first time. He stated that although he is not very active on the tiatr stage, he keeps himself occupied by writing plays for children from the village as well as for All India Radio etc. Earlier Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo, President of TAG welcomed the gathering and explained the importance of such programmes. If the youth of today would like to know about the tremendous contribution of the tiatr artistes of yester years to the Konkani stage, we will have to organize more such programmes so that the memories of these stalwarts of tiatr stage remain alive for generations to come. Shri. Roseferns, Vice-President of TAG proposed the vote of thanks. A brochure having detailed information of the life of Master Vaz was also released on the occasion. Master Vaz was presented a memento on behalf of TAG by the Vice-President Shri. Roseferns. *Victor de Sa* Member Secretary _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
[Goanet] Tiatr ‘Development’
Tiatr ‘Development’ It all about the present day youth problems etc. Topics like unemployment, suicides, drugs, massage parlours, Politics/Ministers, Police etc covered in this tiatr. It says ‘Suicide should not be taken as end of the road’ ‘Stresses the importance of mass Public awareness on the issues affecting society and its development’ ‘No development is possible without people support’ UDORGOT a tiartr by Auggie D’Mello (Britona Dramatic Academy, Penha de France) was the 19th entry in the 26th Tiatr Competition. of Kala Academy Staged on 25th Oct. 2010 The Tiatr had about 13 beautiful songs Songs by Baby Francia Camilo, Sr. Camilo Sisters (Quartet), duet by Hamlin/Shirlie, comedy duet by Hermigildo/Rosalin, duo by Johny/Clancy, Zylnna/Avira were some of the best Other singers were T Britton, Jr. Camilo sisters, D’Silva Sisters etc JoeGoaUk’s prize went to Hermegild/Rosalin Comedy duet. Extra: This is the Tiatr that was declared houseful almost within 2 hours of opening of ticket sale counter. i.e. tiatr schedule for Monday 7pm and all sold out on Friday 12 noon. Almost 90% of the ticket bought by the troupe themselves, leaving the regular tiatr buffs in lurch . This was not very nice as many had to go back on Friday PM, Saturday, Sunday and the day of the show, Monday. As per the revised rules, a troupe can take/purchase upto 50% of the total i.e. about 450 tickets. But despite buying the quota in bulk, others bought up to 20 each at a time and when KA man interfered, it was then sold max 5 tickets per head and the same people kept on re-joining the Q until they achieved their target. (This post was delayed in protest against these type of behaviour by the troupe) Tushar the hero, although done pretty well, appeared to young for his role, particularly during the second half The son/Hero when completely lost his mind, run straight to the beach/lighthouse to commit suicide But there it seems he regain his sound mind as he was seen chatting/ listening to the old man there.

[Goanet] CONGRESS BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION ?
The velocity with which the CBI moved to get former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah’s bail cancelled raises many eyebrows. As never before, within hours of the Gujarat High Court order, the CBI burnt midnight oil to knock on the doors of the Supreme Court. The CBI has, however, a lot to explain as to why it is dragging its feet in many other cases. The 2G Spectrum scam involving Telecom Minister A. Raja is a case in point. However politically sensitive the case may be, the CBI has to prove its independence and credibility. It should not allow itself to be reduced to merely being the Congress Bureau of Investigation. That is, if it isn’t already one.

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 5, Issue 1196
..., with the benefit of much more advanced techniques, a snippet of which was given in the CNN news report, clearly shows that, like all other mental phenomena, these subjective practices and experiences too emerge solely as a consequence of the activity of the brain, irrespective of which religion or belief system to which they belong. Furthermore, like the processes of learning and laying down of memories, the brain activity underlying these natural mental phenomena in turn produces short- and long-lasting changes in the circuitry and subsequent activity of the brain. I say: Whoever has claimed otherwise? Ramakrishnadev (Paramahansa) used to say, joto mot, totho poth meaning, just as many are paths as there are attitudes, or beliefs) But in deeper states of meditation, (stages before samadhi ) or even in state known as 'turiya' people who have experienced them claim various supra-physical experiencing (face of God, vision of Indra, Yama, Matarishwan, etc.) Some day in future science may be able to confirm all that, only it will try to ( and succeed perhaps, for ours is the middle world of possibilities) attribute it all to some material corresponding part of the body. Truth is, these things exist and all experiencing there, although it may not be as tactile as matter, influence material life. Body is the sheath which help us experience, therefore the body, too, is God. Science helps us understand and so she too is God.

[Goanet] Dr Koenraad Elst on Ayodhya
Marshall Mendonza wrote: I would rely more on persons like Romila Thapar,Irfan Habib, Bipin Chandra and R S Sharma among others because they have decades of scholarship and academic learning. Their work has been well researched, documented and peer reviewed internationally. My response: Perhaps it is necessary to revise this reliance given based on what information is now available from the comments by the judges in the Ayodhya judgment. The enclosed article makes, some what I consider to be, disturbing observations. Best regards, U. G. Barad - How Allahabad HC exposed 'experts' espousing Masjid cause Abhinav Garg, TNN, Oct 9, 2010 Times of India http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/How-Allahabad-HC-exposed-experts-es pousing-Masjid-cause/articleshow/6716643.cms NEW DELHI: The role played by independent experts - historians and archaeologists who appeared on behalf of the Waqf Board to support its claim - has come in for criticism by one of the Allahabad High Court judges in the Ayodhya verdict. While the special bench of three judges unanimously dismissed objections raised by the experts to the presence of a temple, it was Justice Sudhir Agarwal who put their claims to extended judicial scrutiny. Most of these experts deposed twice. Before the ASI excavations, they said there was no temple beneath the mosque and, after the site had been dug up, they claimed what was unearthed was a mosque or a stupa. During lengthy cross-examination spread over several pages and recorded by Justice Agarwal, the historians and experts were subjected to pointed queries about their expertise, background and basis for their opinions. To the court's astonishment, some who had written signed articles and issued pamphlets, found themselves withering under scrutiny and the judge said they were displaying an ostrich-like attitude to facts. He also pointed out how the independent witnesses were all connected - one had done a PhD under the other, another had contributed an article to a book penned by a witness. Some instances underlined by the judge are: Suvira Jaiswal deposed whatever knowledge I gained with respect to disputed site is based on newspaper reports or what others told (other experts). She said she prepared a report on the Babri dispute after reading newspaper reports and on basis of discussions with medieval history expert in my department. Supriya Verma, another expert who challenged the ASI excavations, had not read the ground penetration radar survey report that led the court to order an excavation. She did her PhD under another expert Shireen F Ratnagar. Verma and Jaya Menon alleged that pillar bases at the excavated site had been planted but HC found they were not present at the time the actual excavation took place. Archaeologist Shereen F Ratnagar has written the introduction to the book of another expert who deposed, Professor Mandal. She admitted she had no field experience. Normally, courts do not make adverse comments on the deposition of a witness and suffice it to consider whether it is credible or not, but we find it difficult to resist ourselves in this particular case considering the sensitivity and nature of dispute and also the reckless and irresponsible kind of statements... the judge has noted. He said opinions had been offered without making a proper investigation, research or study in the subject. The judge said he was startled and puzzled by contradictory statements. When expert witness Suraj Bhan deposed on the Babri mosque, the weight of his evidence was contradicted by another expert for Muslim parties, Shirin Musavi, who told the court that Bhan is an archaeologist and not an expert on medieval history. Justice Agarwal referred to signed statements issued by experts and noted that instead of helping in making a cordial atmosphere it tends to create more complications, conflict and controversy. He pointed out that experts carry weight with public opinion. One cannot say that though I had made a statement but I am not responsible for its authenticity since it is not based on my study or research but what I have learnt from what others have uttered, Justice Aggarwal has said, emphasizing the need for thorough original research before concurring with what someone else has claimed. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
[Goanet] Church Land: Going, Going, Gone
A) Gabe Menezes, Portuguese patriot, after my response to Marshall, now prefers not to discuss anything more on the subject that Gabe had raised. Why? The answer lies in his message: 4, dated: Sun, 31 Oct 2010. Through this message he gives elderly guidance to Marshall saying (Gabe addresses Marshall as Dear! Suprising!!): 'Dear Marshall, You have used a sledge hammer to crack a nut, I believe most of us know fully well the political as well as right wing sentiments expressed by UG BARAD. The bottom line is, you can take a horse to the water but you can't make it drink! No use expending unnecessary energy. B) Marshall Mendonza, specialist in goal post shifting, responded to my query on above subject line by again shifting the goal post. (The subject is: Church Land: Going, Going, Gone). (Ref: Goanet Digest, Vol 5, Issue 1192, and Message: 1, Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010). In reply, Marshall sends irrelevant web-links which in no way answers questions I had asked to Marshal. The links provided by Marshall as answer to above are: Muck.Gov.Ka http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?267506 Corruption rules his government more than Yediyurappa his state Sugata Srinivasarajuhttp://www.outlookindia.com/peoplefnl.aspx?pid=3883author=Sug ata+Srinivasaraju http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1918/19180180.htm I don't think any sensible man will ever provide irrelevant answers like Marshall always does. My last free advice: A) To Marshall: Keep reading the contents contained in the web-links provided by you and keep scratching your head. It's good to keep you busy within those links. 2) To Gabe Menezes: You are free for name calling w.r.t. me but equally be prepared to take in return - don't get irritated, and if you do, it will only cause you more irritations and frustrations within. My response and questions to Marshall, still not answered, on above subject are: After reading complete article (responses Para wise) forwarded by Marshall, few questions pops up, they are: 1) In the first place, how did the church have the possession of the said property in question? 2) Was it gifted / donated for any specific purpose! 3) If it is gifted / donated, what do the deed papers say?

[Goanet] Dr Koenraad Elst on Ayodhya
While responding to my message, Charudatt Prabhudesai wrote on Mon, 1 Nov 2010: I say: Our propensity towards Europhilia is demonstrably revealed by this simple fact that this white man, Dan Discolli, with just a couple of unctuous posts has won the hearts and minds of a few of my goanet brothers and sister. (I have no reason to suspect the genuineness of his passion, nor am I happy to be prejudiced against the white, even so) The point is, a nation with more than a billion opinions is not likely to escape any thought, or turn of thought, or angle on the Ayodhya issue that may be attributed as a distinct new contribution by prof. Elst to what has become a farrago. NO FOREIGNER can comprehend complexities of Indian ethos, so it is risky to consider his opinion on matters native to India, particularly if the issue is deep-rooted in her more than five thousand years of uniform cultural continuum. More often than not, a foreign 'authority' or commentator on Indian issues has made a mess of the original simple but lofty idea behind our ethnics. My response: I agree to disagree with your comprehended version on complexity issues. To date there is no nation in the world which is free of complications, involvedness, convolution, complexity of ethos etc. Today every nation, including India, is paralyzed by complexities of one or other things which are deeply-rooted since time immemorial. India is not unique in any way! So much so that every city, town and even INDIVIDUAL houses in this globe has one or other complex problem - no heavenly peace prevail anywhere. Complexity is an inevitable shadow - which one can't avoid. Knowing this fully well has anyone stopped writing / expressing ones views / opinions on others problems. No. To this effect, there is one famous saying in Konkani, which in English means it's inherent human tendency to point fingers, give free advice, write, speak, etc about others complex problem(s) forgetting what's happening in their own house! Have we not seen Goans, including all Indians writing and speaking volumes about other nations complexities - Goanet is full with such messages! This includes writing against others religion, against others culture, against others ethos, against every dam thing prevailing under the sun!! What would you say about USA, UK, and other veto power holding nations who not only offer free advice to other nation's affairs but makes sure that that nation follows the advice given? Are these nations right is releasing roadmaps for other nations to follow? Has anyone raised any voice on such attitudes of veto power nations, more specifically USA and UK who always follows and backs USA on international affairs? Has anyone compelled them to stop their interferences in others affairs? If every nation buys your version 'foreigners advise and or opinions are not required' than the very existence of UNO becomes obsolete. I can go on and on unearthing examples on the issue, but let me now wind up. In nut shall, no one can stop others from offering their opinion on others complexities. What one can do is either except or reject the opinion(s) totally. However, in my personal opinion, sensible men will always try to comprehend others opinion before rejecting it point blank. And for very sure, our supreme court will never give any cognizance to what Dr Koenraad Elst has written on Ayodhya issue, although in one recent judgment Supreme Court literarily picked up some sentences written in Wikipedia. Most importantly, I've not made any comments on acceptability or otherwise on Dr. Else's writing on Ayodhya issue Having written this explanation, it does not dilute the question posed to Gabe Menezes. My question, i.e. Just because Dr Elst is a foreigner does it make his arguments wrong, And, I would not be incorrect if I say that the arguments put forward by Dr Elst have been made by many Indians (who are resident of India and not Indian born foreign citizens), still remains unanswered by Gabe. Will Gabe answer!! Best regards, U. G.

[Goanet] Cop nod for Shilpa's nightclub upsets Bandra residents
Author: Linah Baliga Publication: The Times of India Date: October 31, 2010 URL: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Cop-nod-for-Shilpas-nightclub -upsets-Bandra-residents/articleshow/6844064.cms Introduction: We are shocked that licences have been granted to the Royalty. A bar in a residential area is a nuisance. We can't sleep at night because of all the noise. Plus, we'll have to put up with drunkards and traffic jams Controversy seems to be following actor Shilpa Shetty's business ventures. While her IPL team, Rajasthan Royals, is currently locked in a bitter legal battle with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), her nightclub-The Royalty-has irked Bandra residents. Fed up of revellers' drunken brawls, noise and snarls, a section of locals had launched a protest drive against nightclubs in residential areas. To add to the residents' woes, the police have granted permission to the nightclub for a bar-cum-permit room. The Royalty, run by Shilpa's husband Raj Kundra in partnership with Prashant Gunjalkar, is located in the heart of Bandra (W) on Water field Road-a predominantly residential area. The club will operate out of the basement of a building that earlier housed a swanky discotheque, Poison. The cops' sanction has added zing to the residents' campaign against nightclubs in residential areas. Earlier this year, members of Revival Citizen's Group, along with various Advanced Locality Managements (ALMs) from Bandra (W), had knocked on the state home minister RR Patil's door with their complaints about mushrooming of nightclubs in residential areas. Patil had then directed the social securities branch to inquire into the matter. Deputy commissioner of police V Jadhav said, The Royalty is neither a nightclub nor a discotheque. But permissions have been granted for a bar and permit room. It has now reapplied under bar and permit room instead of their earlier request to have a lounge and a bristo. Call it by any other fancy name, our problems refuse to go away. We are shocked that licences have been granted. Our problems on noise pollution, huge crowds, parking woes on a 40 feet road continue to remain. A bar in a residential area is a nuisance. We can't sleep at night because of all the noise. Plus, we'll have to put up with drunkards and jams,, we'll have to put up with allowed, drinking will be allowed and it will create a nuisance value, said Manuela Saldanha, secretary, Revival Citizens' Group. Despite several attempts, Gunjalkar remained unavailable for comment. Anandini Thakoor, president of the H (West) Federation, said, There's a provision in the Bombay Police Act, 1951, which allows for revocation of a club's licences if it creates nuisance for the residents. We will file a PIL on behalf of residents. We demand special zones for clubs in Bandra. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

[Goanet] NEWS: 2, 000-odd crowd near Mandovi bridge ... protest over highway issue in Goa (GoaTNT)
OSCAR REBELLO, GBA, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME AND A HIGHWAY TO HELL 02-11-2010 | 07:33 PM By GoaTNT Writer Panaji: Just when one got the feeling that chief minister Digambar Kamat has cunningly out-manouvered, outsmarted, outdone, out-thought, out-silenced and ran into ground organisations like the Goa Bachao Abhiyaan and other civil society groups and activists with repeated fake assurances on key issues, the National Highway might just reverse the tide against him. Dr Oscar Rebello, once the blue-eyed boy of civil agitation in Goa, who perhaps suffered from the infamous 'Stockholm Syndrome' (Wiki describes the SS as a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages -- in this case Rebello, express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors -- in this case Kamat, that appear irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, essentially mistaking a lack of abuse from their captors as an act of kindness) is once again walking the 'Highway' to hell. He was one of the several speakers, who took the streets of Panaji under the banner of national highway diversion action committee (NHDAC) as part of a 2,00 strong rally in the city. “We don’t have a habit of coming on the streets but the Digamber Kamat government has made a history by making sure that people are agitating on streets almost every day with some or other demand,” Rebello said addressing 2,000-odd crowd near Mandovi bridge. The crowd which assembled at Azad maidan walked till the Mandovi bridge where they were stopped. Agitating leaders gave their speeches while agitators squatted on the road. Oscar drew parallel between highway agitation and Regional Plan agitation. “It was then that the Goans showed the government their might and this time too, history will repeat,” he said. The doctor also said that if we don’t protest now, 50 years down the line, Goa would be known as a den of prostitution. Sunil Desai, convenor of NHDAC, said that the agitation will now hit all the villages. “We will be holding village level meetings and after Diwali there will be a meeting in Margao in which protestors will march to the residence of Digamber Kamat,” he said. Leaders cutting across party line supported the agitation, which went peacefully except for minor scuffle between scuffle between agitators and police at Old Mandovi bridge. http://www.goatnt.com/full_story.php?id=118 _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

[Goanet] VISHWAJEET CONFIDENT OF DEFEATING PATNEKAR IN BICHOLIM
-- Samir Umarye *PANJIM Nov 2: *If winning the Valpoi assembly by-poll was good then sweeping the municipal elections of both Valpoi and Bicholim councils came as an icing on the cake for Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane on Monday. Speaking to reporters at his plush residence at Dona Paula, the minister who appeared confident and more than elated was more than eager to introduce his winning candidates to the media. Rane was so confidence personified that answering a question on whether he will opt to contest in Bicholim in the next assembly elections he said he would defeat the reigning MLA Rajesh Patenkar by a huge margin, a la Valpoi style. If the party decides I should contest from Bicholim then so be it, he stated. He said in terms of development the Bharatiya Janata Party hasn’t done much and this has come from the people. I believe Bicholim should be the centre point of development, but compared to Valpoi there is not much to see there, he asserted. Rane observed the people of Bicholim have polarised towards the Congress. Opposition leader Manohar Parrikar campaigned for his candidate Dr Shekhar Salkar, but he lost. He has promised a lot of things but till date they have been deprived of sound infrastructure, he charged. Riding on a wave of these wins, the minister now wants to enter BJP bastions of Mandrem and Siolim, where he says the Congress was confident of making inroads in the 2012 assembly polls. However, the minister is yet to apply his mind on the issue of expansion of highways. “I am sure the Chief Minister Digambar Kamat will take an appropriate decision in the matter,” he stated. Speaking on developments in Valpoi, he commented, “No expert can tell me an industrial estate was not good for the constituency. “If people want it then so be it. Also, it doesn’t mean because we fall in the range of Western Ghats there should be no developments,” he asserted.(Herald) _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

Re: [Goanet] CCP may get Portugal's help to develop Panjim city
Dear BC, I have said this before and will say this again. While I can understand your position, while canvassing it, please dont be bizarre! There is nothing that is more detrimental to a position that the kind of untenable positions that you suggest. British Corporate interests were present in Goa even before 1961. The rail link to Goa was a result of British corporate interests. Similarly, the capitalist exploitation of the Goan mines also began under the Portuguese regime. You do not need to support the Portuguese regime blindly to make the protests of Indian action that you do. Even the Portuguese are not interested in Goa anymore. The Goans however, continue to be. Perhaps you would like to make that point, regards, Jason 2010/11/2 Bernado Colaco British corporate came to Goa under the signature of the current rule imposed upon Goans since 1961. You call it liberation?

[Goanet] Dr Koenraad Elst on Ayodhya
U G Barad: Perhaps it is necessary to revise this reliance given based on what information is now available from the comments by the judges in the Ayodhya judgment. The enclosed article makes, some what I consider to be, disturbing observations. Response: Please read the foll article- Two archaeologists have had a run-in with the law for their book on the Babri masjid site *Pronoti Datta | TNN * In 1968, archaeologist Shereen Ratnagar travelled to Ashvan in Turkey to participate in an excavation. Her professor pointed to a wall and a floor and instructed the nervous young woman to identify which was older. On hindsight, the moment seems prophetic. In 2003, when Ratnagar and fellow archaeologist D Mandal surveyed the Archaeological Survey of India’s (ASI) excavation of the Babri Masjid site, one of their most significant discoveries involved the vintage of a wall and a floor. The two archaeologists spent a day examining the site in order to verify the ASI report on behalf of the Sunni Waqf Board in 2003. Four years later, they published a highly critical appraisal of the ASI’s work in a book titled Ayodhya: Archaeology After Excavation. In April 2010, three years after the publication of the book, the Allahabad high court considered the authors and their publisher Tulika Books in contempt of court. The court objected to the authors, who are also witnesses in the case, expressing their opinion on a matter that was still being tried. The judges also verbally ordered the publisher to recall all unsold copies of the book. “I feel there has been an injustice,” says Ratnagar, a specialist in the Harappan civilisation who taught archaeology at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for 22 years before retiring in 2000. “But I respect judicial procedure and I have to be silent till the case comes to a resolution.” She’s frustrated that as the case continues to hang in the balance, she can’t express her views on Ayodhya as freely as her peers. It was recently reported that Sudhir Agarwal, one of the judges at the Allahabad high court, criticised some of witnesses for the Waqf Board. Ratnagar, it was said, admitted not having any experience on the field. However the archaeologist says that she has participated in excavations in India, England, Iraq and Bahrain. Before tearing into the ASI report, the book outlines the history of the dispute. It’s a context that has always been politically charged, right from 1853 when records show that Hindu ascetics captured the premises of the mosque declaring that it stood on Ram’s birthplace. Colonial records from the mid- and late-nineteenth century, in what was perhaps a political move, support the Hindu claim that Babur’s general Mir Baqi destroyed a temple to build the mosque. In 1949, the controversy flared up afresh when idols of Ram and Sita were secretly installed inside the mosque. The district magistrate insisted the idols remain and ordered the mosque shut. In 1986, Rajiv Gandhi controversially opened the locks and allowed a shilanyas on the premises of the mosque. Four years later, L K Advani’s rath yatra for the construction of a temple led to the mosque’s demolition in 1992. Mandal and Ratnagar have criticised both the ASI’s methods of working and the conclusions it has drawn. The authors have found fault with the way the ASI established the chronology of the successive periods of habitation on the site. Archaeological finds such as pieces of pottery were not classified correctly and the site itself was strewn with debris. They write that finds such as glazed tiles and animal bones were not correctly tabled. A number of verdict critics believe that the presence of bones suggests that the excavated structure was not a temple. The writers argue that the bones were part of landfills. If it was a temple, then the soil would have been sieved and the bones removed. But since there is no proof of this, the site cannot be a temple. It’s also possible that the inhabitants were non-vegetarian. “Yet, some people seem to be rather opposed to acknowledging this fact. This might be one of the reasons for the suppression of details in the (ASI) Report pertaining to the recovery of animal bones,” Mandal and Ratnagar write. The fifty ‘pillars bases’ have also been widely debated. Supporters of the temple theory believe that the bases suggest the presence of a temple. However, Vidula Jayaswal, a professor in Benares Hindu University’s department of ancient Indian history, culture and archaeology, who reviewed Ayodhya agrees with the ASI’s interpretation. “It’s an architectural feature of the Gupta period,” she points out. “Pillars were put above brick cushions.” But, “archaeologically one cannot prove that it was Ram Janmabhoomi”. Mandal and Ratnagar assert that the ‘pillar bases’ are clumps of bricks that are too feeble to support the weight of pillars and their view is widely supported by archaeologists and historians who reject the temple theory.

Re: [Goanet] CCP may get Portugal's help to develop Panjim city
Hi JKF, It looks like day by day you are getting tempremental. Is the bacalhau not doing you good in Lisboa? With reference to British interests, the rail link was a project and not in the lines of mining explotation. It is true that iron ore etc was unearthed in the early 20th century, but were you expecting that Goans lived on love and fresh air? Besides, I support Goa blindly (you are drawing wrong conclusions about my Portucalia), the actions of 61 was a great catastrophy for Goans. It is time that our new rulers reflect and acknowledge the failures, and stop the exploitation of Goa now. BC Dear BC, You do not need to support the Portuguese regime blindly to make the protests of Indian action that you do. Even the Portuguese are not interested in Goa anymore.

[Goanet] The Shape of the Beast
Marshall Mendoza provided us with the following link to an article on the latest issues regarding Arundhati Roy: http://www.tehelka.com/story_main47.asp?filename=Ne061110Coverstory.asp While those interested must have read the article forwarded by Marshall. I would recommend they also read the interview of Syed Geelani, with whom she shared the dais where the controversy of her statement arose. The title is: India has a secular system, which we Kashmiris can under no condition accept: Syed Ali Shah Geelani, and is availabel at: URL: http://www.NewAgeIslam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=3590 I would like to highlight only TWO questions in the long interview. Q: In some of your writings you have argued against Kashmir being an independent state, even claiming that this is an Indian 'ploy'. Can you elaborate? A: This is true. It is an Indian ploy, because India does not want to see Pakistan strengthened, which it would be if Jammu and Kashmir joins Pakistan. The slogan of Azadi is aimed at weakening Pakistan. Independence would result in a territory that would have been a natural part of Pakistan being taken away from it. But, then, compared to staying with India, independence is a lesser evil. Q: What if most people of Jammu and Kashmir wish to live in a secular or democratic set-up, and not a Taliban-style 'Islamic' state? A: We don't want to bring Taliban-type Islam, but the real Islam of the Quran and the Practice (Sunnah) of the Prophet.

G. Barad RESPONSE: Perhaps Goa has the answer and is showing the way forward; may be this will help? :- BJP routed in Margao HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, NOV 1 The BJP suffered a complete rout in the elections for the Margao civic body with candidates owing allegiance to the Congress emerging victorious in the hustings. This is the first time in the last decade-and-half that the BJP will have no representation in the Margao civic body. Candidates backed by Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat, GPCC General Secretary Vijay Sardessai and other Congress leaders won the polls with ease. Of the 20 candidates who made it to the civic body, Arthur D’Silva, who won from Ward No 1 with a handsome margin of 625 votes, said that he is an Independent candidate and owes no allegiance to any political party or leader. BJP leaders including two-time Councillor Narayan Fondekar, and the face of BJP in Margao Rupesh Mahatme, besides BJP Fatorda Block President Durgadas Prabhu bit the dust in the hustings. Candidates supported by the BJP including Piedade Noronha in Ward No 3 and Purnanand Chari in ward No 8 also lost the polls. On the other hand, the candidates fielded and supported by Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat and GPCC general secretary Vijay Sardessai won the polls with comfortable margins. In the Fatorda area of the civic body, Sardessai overcame a stiff challenge to his political career from his detractors, as three of the four candidates – Bertha Cardozo, Joseph Silva and Gonzaco Rebello — fielded by him made it to the civic body. The fourth candidate Angelis Pereira lost by a slender margin of 35 votes at the hands of two-time Councillor Raju Naik, who claimed support of the Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat, Panchayat Minister, Babu Azgaonkar and BJP MLA Damu Naik. The husband-wife duo of Sadanand and Babita Naik won the polls in style from the Gogol Housing Board area, defeating BJP candidates. Senior Congress leader and former minister, Luis Alex Cardozo’s son Tito emerged victorious from Ward No 9 over BJP Block president Durgadas Prabhu by a margin of 10 votes. In the Margao area of the civic body, Congressmen or Congress backed candidates won all the 11 seats at stake. Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat backed candidates in eight wards registered comfortable wins, while Goa Pradesh Youth Congress vice-president Pratima Coutinho backed by Churchill Alemao-Vijay Sardessai-Monica Dias combine and former MMC Chairperson Doris Texeira backed by Vijay Sardessai and Nitin Naik won from Colmorod and Khareband wards respectively. Outgoing Margao Congress Block President Dayanand won the polls from Sirvodem ward, where the Chief Minister had publicly appealed to the people to vote and elect former councillor Zarinha Shah. Incidentally, Chief Minister-backed candidates won with ease in eight wards of Margao assembly segment, defeating candidates fielded by the rival BJP. Chief Minister’s cousin brother Laxmikant Kamat won from Ward No 18 by a huge margin of 485 votes. BJP leader, Rupesh Mahatme who had contested from Ward No 20 after his Ward No 15 was reserved for OBC, failed to garner the much-required votes to defeat Kamat-backed candidate Damu Shirodkar. While Damu polled 617 votes, Rupesh had to be content with only 355 votes, losing the seat by a margin of 262 votes. In Ward No 13, the Chief Minister’s candidate Rosy Pereira got the better off the candidate fielded by the Azgaonkars and the BJP. While Pereira polled 643 votes, Azgaonkar backed candidate Shazia Sheikh polled 423, while the BJP candidate Leena Katkar polled only 238 votes. A glance at the polls results would suggest that the electorate has voted for new faces by rejecting a number of sitting councillors, including Raju Shirodkar, Livramenta Barreto, Ramdas Hazare, former chairpersons Piedade Noronha and Johnson Fernandes, Narayan Fondekar and Majusha Kaskar. http://oheraldo.in/news/Main%20Page%20News/BJP-routed-in-Margao/42523.html QUESTION:- Do you have any views as to why the BJP were trounced so severely? Does the populace prefer corrupt governance or does it prefer corrupt governance cum Communism? Don't you have any following at all in Margao? -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe
