*Open letter to Churchill*

Will Churchill Alemao kindly answer a few simple questions asked by the
parents whose children’s future he has virtually ruined? 1) If studying in
one’s mother tongue at the primary school level is good for a child’s
overall development why were your children studying in the English Medium
Sharada Mandir High School, Miramar? 2) Why did you not stand by the system
you introduced in 1991? ( i. e. no grants for English at primary level)? 3)
Why did you make a ‘ U’ turn now and suddenly develop a love for English,
when for last 20 years, you were advocating that a child study in their
Mother tongue? Have you done so, because you realized that doing otherwise
would be politically bad for you? Please stop taking credit for the victory
in Medium of Instruction. In fact Goans deserve an immediate public apology
from you, for your misdeeds in 1991 that ruined lives of Goan students.

Roque Estellito Almeida, Betalbatim.

[Goanet] Beautiful One-liners

[adrianconsult...@gmail.com]

Beautiful One-liners

1. Give God what's right -- not what's left.

2. Man's way leads to a hopeless end -- God's way leads to an endless hope.

3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma--but never let him be

the period.

6. Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-lift.

8. When praying, don't give God instructions - just report for duty.

9. Don't wait for six strong men to take you to church.

10. We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.

11. The church is prayer-conditioned.

12. When God ordains, He sustains.

13. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

14. Plan ahead -- It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

15. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.

16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.

17. Exercise daily -- walk with the Lord.

18. Never give the devil a ride -- he will always want to drive.

19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.

20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

21. He who angers you controls you.

22. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

23. Give Satan an inch & he'll be a ruler.

24. Be ye fishers of men -- you catch them & He'll clean them.

25. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

26. Read the Bible -- It will scare the hell out of you.

[Goanet] When Portuguese and English primary education save Goan identity

[SOTER]

Goa's history cannot be erased. As English is claimed to be a foreign language 
and therefore needs to go unaided in primary education, the contradiction of 
aiding it from high school cannot be understood. But when it came to defending 
the seperate status for Goa, it was the Portuguese/English primary educated 
Goans that were more far-sighted and saved Goa. Those who had a primary 
education in Bharati Bhasha joinned the chorus to wipe out Goan identity by 
dumping it in maharashtra. 
When it came to giving  konkani language its due place it was the Portuguese 
and English primary educated that stood up to defend the language and ensure it 
receives an official status. The Bharati Bhasha educated cried for a 
Maharashtra language to be dumped on Goans as the Official language. 
So here we are, Portuguese and English primary education has ensured more 
patriotism than the Bharati Bhasha primary education.   
Can BBSM deny this fact?

Response:
Santosh, I would have a lot more faith that "this scare...is never going to 
materialize" if centrists and moderates such as yourself wrote in the Goa media 
to assure everyone that the right to chose medium of instruction is a 
democratic right and not a communal show of hands. 
 
Nothing that has happened in the past year in Goa, assures me that "this scare" 
will not come to pass. On the contrary Hindus who I thought to be moderates and 
centrists are now seen parading in full public view calling into question the 
nationalist sympathies of Catholic Goans. If not at public rallies they are 
busy churning out sundry articles in the print media. Hardly has the 
controversy over the Portuguese Sagres ship died down, which for some reasons 
warranted communal venom, the ugly head of the medium of instrustion has 
reared. Everything of late seems to call into question Catholic nationalism. 
This does not bode well for Goa.
 
I'm sure a lot of people live with the hope that atrocities will never come to 
pass in their own neck of the woods. The vast majority of human beings in this 
world are least concerned with their neighbour's politics. Their lives center 
around what is for dinner and which schools their children will attend. 
Nonetheless, atrocities do happen. Violent wars, pogroms and insurrections do 
take place. We wander how they happen. They happen because it only takes about 
2 to 3 men to decide the illegitimacy of an act and 1 man to declare war. 
 
We must do more in our lifetimes than to believe constantly in the goodness of 
humanity. We must be vocal in our condemnation of inhumanity. I await an 
article by you in the Goa print media, which soothes and calms the currently 
inflamed communal chatter. That would reassure me hugely and mean a lot more 
than rebuttals on goanet.
 
Best,
Selma

This scare, like all previous ones of this nature, is never going to 
materialize. The real world is different from what it is portrayed to be by the 
politicians and activists on any side. Goanet is over-represented and 
ill-served by quixotic freedom fighters and activists, who invariably present a 
distorted picture of reality. The regular folk in Goa couldn't care less about 
nationalization and denationalization, or the names of individuals. Most 
Catholics today are more Indianized than in my childhood, and most 
non-Catholics westernized. Indeed, I would submit that the trend is towards 
increasing globalization. And that is what it should be, taking the best in of 
all cultures of the world, and leave the divisions of the past to history.

Cheers,

Santosh

P.S. Please note that this is simply an expression of a personal opinion, not 
to be taken as a personal affront.

[Goanet] Does anyone in Goa dare to suspend GP Naik?

[Rupert Coutinho]

*Does anyone in Goa dare to suspend GP Naik?*



I doubt whether any action will be taken against GP Naik who is reportedly
under medical survellience for high BP, given that he is due to retire at
the end of this month on 31st May 2011. After all, loyality and Obeisance
always pays as was the case of a mass murderer and terrorist Bin Laden and
its family where history proved once again blood is thicker than water even
though he was publicly disowned by his family and his country.  The deaths
of two innocent tribals perpetuate another set of deadly murderers and
internal terrorist breeding in Goa’s sanctuary including the ones who owe
responsibility of dereliction of duties. The ever assuring CM agreed to
immediately order the suspension of South Goa Collector as reported in the
newspapers. Goans need to come to terms whether we should accept and
tolerate a CM who only gives assurances or a man who can keep his words.
Does Indian democracy really holds any meaning if the administration cannot
initiate action even after orders herald from heads of state. This truly
goes to reflect whether the elected authority and teethless opposition
benches commands any respect from its administration or it is just another
day in Indian democracy where everyone does what they like doing and don't
not care even if it were orders from the First Citizen of the country. I do
know many Goans will think that they were much better under Salazar for some
transitional times and and would have prefered to be under the civilized
Portuguese rules in the years to come.

For information of Nobert the mix up was not from any allergy to any name. 
Somehow I always confuse beteen the names of Radharao with Anacleto probably 
because of their as confusing stands. The mix up has a history prior to any

 Please read these also and understand the nature of the theft, and why 
 Sushma Swaraj is beeping so much last few days . . . next scam to open, 
 iron ore scam . . .
 
 
 The royalty paid to the Indian government by the new iron ore exporters 
 being invited in, like Posco, is Rs27 rupees a tonne for iron ore lumps. 
 That's all. 60 cents. Not even a dollar a tonne. The rest is, apparently, 
 part of the whole loan-loan-loan and more loan cycle, since Posco will help

 develop the area. At every stage in this financial game, there is a 
 transaction cost, and it is instead of being in percentage points, now into

 multiples of the costs involved.
 
 Agreed, there is a cost involved in mining the iron ore, extracting it, and

 converting it into lumps, which even after allowing for all sorts of cost 
 overruns is not going to exceed $20 a tonne-an extremely high outer 
 estimate. Agreed there is a cost towards "developing" the area, whatever it

 means. Agreed, some babu somewhere can justify how after 35 years, our 
 export price is down from $15 a tonne to 60 cents a tonne.
 
 But can anybody justify why the Indian government, the state government, 
 the various public sector entities, the watchdogs, the parliamentary 
 committees, the environmentalists, the media, everybody and more-why can't 
 we get even some percentage of the increase in iron ore prices to the 
 country's account?
 
 Assuming the price has gone up by $50 a tonne, all other costs remaining 
 the same, shouldn't the nation get at least some part of it-especially when

 all we appear to be getting is 60 cents a tonne?

Soter,
The day is not too far away when our very names will be questioned and taken as 
a sign of denationalisation. 

As for who was and who wasn't denationalised in 1950s, I wonder who were the 
regular lap-dogs panting outside the Portuguese administration, waiting for any 
scrap of a mining lease to fall their way. And if it wasn't mining there was 
always the odd Portuguese one-eyed bureaucrat to bribe to look the other way 
while gold and luxuries were saftely smuggled through Goa's Gold Corridor. The 
names of these shops can still be seen in Panjim and they aren't Portuguese 
sounding.

If you weren't mining or smuggling in Goa, you could always emigrate to Bombay 
and set up
 a jewellery store somewhere around Sonapur, make sure your children study in 
Marathi, and grow up to sing or write long verses in Marathi, which is now 
taken as a rich "contribution to the literature of Goa." Many, so the story 
goes, forgot to mention that they were from Goa, the poor relations of their 
wealthier cousins in Bombay.

Of course, history is conveniently forgotten, while forked tongues glibly 
accuse Catholic Goans of being denationalised. The same Goans who ate pez, 
spoke in Konkani at home, sang their mandos, songs and hymns in Konkani, wrote 
and put up their tiatres in Konkani, opened up private printing presses and 
started newspapers in Konkani, made sure that Goa became a separate state and 
that Konkani was given its rightful place as a language.


Best,
Selma

[Goanet] Clarification on post: Shameless Radha and Bharat Bhasha Suraksha Manch

[Nobert Carvalho]

Radha is an Indian name. Anacleto isnt. Can understand the allergies that
develope in the
sub concious mind after getting infected by Congress virus as well as by a
BJP fungi.

First, Cafe Prakash discussions are only meant for relieving headaches after
a failed day.
Second, Do not use them as facts on which thoughts are to be built.
Third, If second mistake is already made, post them b4 mixing them
with Feni!
Cheers!

Subject: [Goanet] Clarification on post: Shameless Radha and
Bharat Bhasha Suraksha Manch

This is just to clarify that in this earlier post I mixed up the names of
Anacleto with Radharao.
Radharao has been kind enough to draw my attention to this slip and I am
extremely sorry for
the error. Instead of Radha the name should have read Anacleto. Please note
that I stand
corrected. It should read as shameless Anacleto and BBSM. -Soter
