[Goanet] Anti-Corruption: Is Ideology of the crusaders as important as the issue?
For those who collaborate with divisive forces in this country and claim that they are supporting the issue of anti-corruption, perhaps the quote below by Mahatma Gandhi from 'Hind Swaraj' may help throw some light. Your belief that there is no connection between the means and the end is a great mistake. Through that mistake even men who have been considered religious have committed grievous crimes. Your reasoning is the same as saying that we can get a rose through planting a noxious weed. If I want to cross the ocean, I can do so only by means of a vessel; if I were to use a cart for that purpose, both the cart and I would soon find the bottom. As is the God, so is the votary, is a maxim worth considering. Its meaning has been distorted and men have gone astray. The means may be likened to a seed, the end to a tree; and there is just the same inviolable connection between the means and the end as there is between the seed and the tree. I am not likely to obtain the result flowing from the worship of God by laying myself prostrate before Satan. If, therefore, anyone were to say : I want to worship God; it does not matter that I do so by means of Satan, it would be set down as ignorant folly. We reap exactly as we sow. -Soter D. -
[Goanet] THE WRONG PERCEPTION ABOUT NO 13
There is a wrong belief that the Number 13 is unlucky. To me it has been a good one. It was on a 13th over two years ago, that I had a miraculous escape from those ferocious armed goons who attacked me at Ashok restaurant in Panjim. Coincidentally, it was later revealed that they were the 13th gang that was approached to liquidate me. More recently, on the 13th of March this year, I was saved from the hassle of being a part of the Corporation of City of Panaji’s political garbage. Indeed, the last number of my car is also 13. Whenever I have gambled on that number I have always won. They say a cat survives 7 times. For me may it be 13. While many may like to see me laid to rest, there are some who need to see me alive. Our Advocate General Mr. Subodh Kantak can hope to get his 15 crores in that defamation case he has filed against me only if I am around. And now Father Newton Rodrigues his $ 6,00,000. They must be both praying very hard that I live. Aires Rodrigues T1 - B30, Ribandar Retreat Ribandar - Goa - 403006 Mobile: 9822684372

[Goanet] Can Cell Phones Really Cause Brain Cancer?
Preface: This is something that the good Dr. Santosh Helekar has already written about. The following article from a well know oncologist from a very well respected hospital - basically supports what Santoshbab has stated. I post it here for the record. good wishes jose colaco http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/743916?src=mpspon=9 [ Medscape members can also access the Audio-Video presentation. Membership is free and I would recommend it to those who prefer to be kept informed via their e-browser] == From Medscape = Hello. My name is John Maris, and I'm Chief of the Division of Oncology at The Children's Hospital in Philadelphia (CHOP). Today I would like to talk to you about a recent report on cell phones and the potential that they might cause cancer. This has received a lot of press, and this is one in a series of press releases about the potential of cell phones to cause cancer. What I want to say is: There is nothing at all to be worried about. As a cancer researcher and someone who spends a lot of time thinking about what might cause cancer, I applaud the World Health Organization for pulling together a report and asking for more information and data to be able to study this. I think that the way in which that has been spun in the media -- that cell phones can cause cancer or that there is a concern among experts that cell phones cause cancer -- is overblown. What I really want to drive home is that there is nothing at all to be concerned about. When we think about what causes cancer, one of the first questions we need to ask ourselves is: Is it plausible? Is there a realistic or even little bit of an explanation of a cause and effect? Cell phones are used very commonly; there is a concern that cancer incidences might be increasing, so it is natural to think that these devices that we spend a lot of time with these days might have a harmful effect. For a long time, people thought that cigarettes, which became a very common part of everyday life, were not harmful and, despite some increasing concern for a long time, people denied that. So, are cell phones similar to the cigarette or to tobacco? The answer is no. Smoking causes irritation that has a carcinogenic effect, and there is a biologically plausible explanation for how smoking could cause harm. Radio waves that come from a cell phone are low energy. Very good research has shown that it is a million times lower, literally a million times lower, than the energy that is necessary to damage DNA genetic material and cause mutation and cancer. There is no known biologically plausible way that these devices and the frequency of energy that they emit, which is the same as that which comes from the radio waves that bombard us every day as we listen to our radios, can damage DNA. Could there be another reason? There is no reason that can be surmised, and, more importantly, there have been dozens and dozens of studies in test tubes, in animal models, and -- most importantly -- in human beings that have all refuted the hypothesis that these things can hurt you. The World Health Organization evaluated a very, very large study that looked at thousands and thousands of cell phone users. There was the inability to definitely say that these devices were not associated with cancer in this very large group of patients because it is a complicated thing to study and relied on phone interviews and not actual real observations. The World Health Organization released a cautionary statement to say that we just need more information. That does not mean that cell phones cause cancer. There is nothing that we might need to change in our everyday lives, and I applaud the effort to get more data, but we have nothing to be concerned about. Thank you for your attention.
[Goanet] What is driving the Indian middle class towards electoral politics?
This probably has relevance to Goa too! A lot has been happening here. It's more than just a question of harnessing such forces for electoral purposes... --FN Neighborhood Associations have assumed an important role in public policy decision making as the principal voice of the middle class across urban India. In recent years, these associations have sought a more formal role in policy making by contesting for political office in local elections in at least five major cities. This is significant not only because of its “newness” and implications on public policy but also because it represents a blurring of boundaries between the civil society, traditionally characterized by its ‘apolitical’ nature, and the political society which has largely been the domain of the poor. Using the case of Delhi and drawing on examples from other metropolitan cities, this paper attempts to understand the factors that have led to the rise of middle class neighborhood associations and their subsequent advent into formal politics http://www.accountabilityindia.in/article/working-paper/791-what-driving-indian-middle-class-towards-electoral-politics-evidence-delhi -- FN +91-832-2409490 or +91-9822122436 (after 2pm) #784 Nr Lourdes Convent, Saligao 403511 Goa India http://fn.goa-india.org http://goa1556.goa-india.org

[Goanet] The Politics of Arrogance by Kuldip Nayar
http://www.deccanherald.com/content/167625/politics-arrogance.html Between the lines Politics of arrogance Kuldip Nayar When corruption is being hotly debated, the Congress-led UPA government is trying to evade the issue. The terrorist and the policeman both come from the same basket. This was proved again in Delhi this week when a religious leader, Baba Ramdev, was fasting before thousands of his followers. Policemen of different organisations belonging to the Centre and the states came like tonnes of bricks on the sleeping crowd and dispersed them, using even tear gas. Ramdev was physically removed, leaving many injured, some seriously. All this happened at midnight on the lines the British would do. The demand was that the government should promulgate an ordinance to declare the black money stacked by Indians abroad as national asset and bring it back. The rough estimate of the black money is more than Rs 280 lakh crore. Getting back the money may be somewhat difficult because foreign banks and their governments have to be involved. President Barrack Obama, however, made it easy by freezing in the US the assets of Switzerland, a haven for unaccounted money. He got the list of American nationals having money deposits in Swiss banks within 48 hours. It is obvious that the ruling Congress would not go to that extent because some of its own stalwarts in the party and the government are reportedly involved. But if the party has nothing to hide or fear, it can declare the money stashed abroad as national asset. The country has the experience of how kickbacks from the Bofors gun deal were never brought back. So much so that even the go-between Italian businessman, Ottavio Quattrocchi, was allowed to go out of India when numerous charges were pending against him. Obviously, he had the protection of the Congress. When the matter of corruption has come to the fore again, the government is found evading the issue. It feels as if political rhetoric or brutal force would suppress the demand. And the worse it has done is to swing public opinion in favour of Ramdev. His credentials were being doubted and he looked like wearing communalism on his sleeves. When the BJP and its mentor, RSS, threw their weight behind him, people began to distance themselves from Ramdev. When the police action followed, doubts about him receded into the background and the police methods became the topic of debate. The dutiful prime minister again comes to the rescue of the police by saying that the action was “unfortunate but inevitable.” Since when has lathi-charging peaceful demonstration become ‘inevitable?’ People in power One, a peaceful demonstration is guaranteed under the constitution. We won independence through satyagraha and such other non-violent methods. Two, must police action be conducted furtively at the middle of the night? And should teas gas be used on women and children sleeping at the pandal? Manmohan Singh and Kapil Sibal are nice people. But why do they change when they come to occupy chair in the government? Another thing which the police action has done is to bring the agitation of Ramdev and Anna Hazare on the same page. The latter had to defer talks with the government on the establishment of Lokpal to supervise the machinery to eliminate corruption in high places. Again, Sibal was indiscreet in his remark that the government would go ahead with the drafting of the Lokpal bill even if the Anna Hazare team, representing civil society activists, does not participate. They have never talked about the boycott. Why does the government behave in a manner that reflects arrogance? They are people’s servants, not the masters. The question before the nation is one of corruption, neither Anna Hazare nor Baba Ramdev. They have only articulated the debate. The government looks like clouding the real issue by resorting to diversionary tactics. There may be some more scams which it is trying to hide. It is difficult to say with certainty who among the ministers or the Congress leaders have not stashed away their ‘commissions’ abroad. Belatedly, the prime minister has asked his ministerial colleagues to declare their assets and business connections, along with statements by their spouses and near relations. The anger against the government for not taking up charges of corruption and black money earnestly is so high that you could taste it. The Congress would lose heavily if elections were to be held in the next few months. Since there does not seem to be an acceptable proposal emerging on fighting corruption, the country is relentlessly pushed towards fresh elections. Probably, there is no way out. The movement against corruption may take such a dimension where the government may find it difficult to cope with. I believe the prime minister is fed up and says that “he had enough of it.” By threatening to resign, he may be able to jolt the party from its
[Goanet] Have Goa's Pseudo Warriors Behind Anna Hazare Heard of Irom Sharmila?
Have The Pseudo Warriors Behind Anna Hazare Heard of Irom Sharmila? by Gnani Sankaran April 10, 2011 06:54 Dear pseudo comrades, have you heared of Irom Sharmila , fasting not for one or two days, but a full decade, with absolutely no media hype. It was fashionable to be patriotic during Kargil war and now it is fashionable to be fighters against corruption thanks to Anna Hazare. Within two days of the fast of veteran gandhian's understandable ire against delay in creating a lok pal act, the English media channels and their partners - in- arms English print media have created a pseudo war against corruption in India, with middle and upper middle classes suddenly waking up their consciences through candle light walks. Dear pseudo comrades, have you heared of Irom Sharmila , fasting not for one or two days, but a full decade, with absolutely no media hype to create a single candle light walk by the rich and the affluent of India. Lend your ears not to me, friends, Indians and countrymen, but to Irom Sharmila, a fellow Indian like Anna hazare. Unfortunately she is from Manipur, which many of us in south and western India confuse with Manipal where money gets education and again unfortunately in Manipur , even money cannot guarantee you your life. Here is a quick recap on Irom Sharmila, for the sake of latecomers to public causes. Assam Rifles one of the Indian para military forces under whose control Manipur is, gunned down ten people waiting for bus at a bus stop in Malom in Imphal valley on November 1,2000. While the army claimed that it fired against insurgents , other eye witness accounts challenged that. The killed included an old woman. On November 4, Irom Sharmila a 28 year old girl started a fast unto death demanding repeal of the armed forces special powers act of 1958 which empowered the army to kill without being questioned. She was arrested for attempting to commit suicide and force fed by tubes. For the last ten years, the government repeats the farce of arresting her on the same charge every year, after a formal release for a day or two. This is because the very charge of attempt to suicide does not entail imprisonment of more than one year even if convicted. Irom Sharmila continues to be under arrest till date and is being forcefed. In 2004, Thangjam Manorama, another Manipuri girl was found dead, brutally killed by the Indian army and this led to hundreds of women protesting ourside army headquarters in Imphal. Forty women, young and old went naked with placards demanding Indian army, rape us. And Irom Sharmila continued to fast under arrest, while rest of India has been merrily carrying on with regular elections and cricket. (If Anna Hazare had been on fast during semi finals and finals of world cup , the media would have blissfully ignored him. Timing, my dear friends, Indians and countrymen, is very very important in politics and media. Remember that if Government of India has taken 42 years to draft a Lokpal bill, Anna Hazare also has taken so long to launch a fast unto death on that demand.) Except for customary casual and superficial mention about Irom Sharmila in their news bulletins whenever an Arundhathi Roy or Mahaswetha devi mentioned her, the entire Indian media has ignored her. Why ? Simple, my dear watsons, it is unpatriotic to question the army or criticize it, even though it may be as corrupt as our politicians and even more brutal than them. A government bullying its own citizens of an entire state with its army is worse than corruption. This has been going on in North east irrespective of which party holds power in Delhi. The candle vigilantes of the educated middle, upper middle and rich dare not take up issues of human rights violations, or adivasis' traditional right violations. It is the easiest option to shout from the rooftops about corruption while being part of the very same corrupt system in day to day life. And the politician is the favourite whipping boy for these classes. And is corruption in India waiting only for one single Lok pal bill at the centre to throw it out in entirety ? No. Anna hazare's fast is only for drafting of a water tight bill which would take atleast three to four months, even if the committee of his choice works on it. And once the bill becomes the act, it does not dent corruption a bit unless it is enforced. Enforecement is the responsibility of the same corrupt machinery and system we havc. And remember we already have enough laws to book the corrupt politicians and public servants. Whatever cases that remain in court against a Lalu Prasad yadav or Jayalalitha or Madhu Koda or Ramalinga Raju or Ketan Desai have been booked under the existing well framed laws. What we really need is not just a new law but only a honest enforcemenet machinery to implement the best constitution in the world. And such a machinery also unfortunately has to come only from the

[Goanet] Irom Sharmila's silent resilience ignored - CNN-IBN
Irom Sharmila's silent resilience ignored CNN-IBN Updated Jun 10, 2011 at 10:06pm IST New Delhi: When it comes to fasts and dharnas, popularity clearly matters. Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare hog the public limelight and the Centre's attention but a woman who has been on a fast in Manipur against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act has been ignored for ten years now. The high profile fasts of activists in Delhi and the silent 10-year long fast of Irom Sharmila - Hazare and Ramdev are followed by TV cameras, their voice heard all over the country but Irom Sharmila fasts unnoticed by the national media, alone and ignored. The Iron Lady of Manipur as she is often called has been on a fast for the last ten years protesting against the AFSPA that is in place in parts of Manipur and the north east and gives the Army and the paramilitary forces the power to shoot or arrest on mere suspicion. The Indian state has kept her alive on a cocktail of vitamins and nutrients. She is force-fed twice a day through her nose. I can't tolerate the atrocities on my contemporaries, on my people. This is God's will. I will carry on. It's intolerable, said Irom Sharmila Chanu. Anna Hazare and Ramdev are known across India but perhaps the true satyagrahi is Irom Sharmila Chanu who for ten years hasn't eaten anything - not a morsel of food, not a drop of water. Ramdev and Hazare are received at airports, invited to joint panels with government, she is treated like a criminal, perhaps because she's in Manipur and ignored by the media. My question is why can't they consider the northeast states like the rest of the country? said Sharmila. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/irom-sharmilas-silent-resilience-ignored/158339-3.htmlBand Baaja Baraat Movie

[Goanet] Konkani Gone Global with Pride (International Amersfoort Jazz Festival - The Netherlands)
This is with reference to the recently held Konkani Rocks event by Heritage Jazz, at The International Amersfoort Jazz Festival in The Netherlands. I appreciate the all the hard work and efforts of Mr. Armando Gonsalves and his team, for taking Konkani to the Global Stage which is certainly a very big International boost for our mother tongue. No one can dispute the fact that Konkani is the core of our Goan Identity and it is high time for Goans, to give Konkani the respect that it truly deserves; not only in Goa but also at the Global Level. Just as other World Communities like the English, Spanish, Germans, French, Italians or the Indian Communities like the Gujaratis, Maharashtrians, Keralites, Punjabis, Tamils etc are proud of their mother tongues, so should Goans be proud of Konkani. I believe that with genuine Goa lovers instilling the pride and love for Konkani within Goans, particularly the younger generation, there will power surge for Goans (Local Overseas) to rise over political, communal and other destructives challenges to preserve their Prized Land, Culture Identity, which makes up that “Goan Magical Charm” admired by people the world over. Also it today’s increasingly Globalised World it’s is extremely important to “Be Global but Act Local” which means that we also have to make use of Globally accepted languages like English without at the same time Forsaking our Mother Tongue Konkani. We Goans certainly have treasure within us and it is high time that we shout our loud, proudly cherish the same and share it with the World Community!!

[Goanet] Silvassa link mentioned in killing of Mumbai journo...
Who killed J Dey? Presley Thomas, Hindustan Times Mumbai, June 11, 2011 Email to Author First Published: 21:39 IST(11/6/2011) Last Updated: 21:40 IST(11/6/2011) He stood close to 6 feet and 4 inches, and used to ride a black Bajaj Pulsar. The gentle and soft-spoken giant would walk into the dingy by-lanes and hotels of Behrampada in Bandra (E) with ease, to keep his network of informers alive. But never had J Dey, who had seen the underworld mafia and its kingpins from close quarters, and produced reports on them for over a decade, been threatened. Police sources said he had never reported of any possible attack on him from any quarters. Police sources said, it is an unwritten rule amongst the underworld mafia not to harm female relatives of rivals, journalists or police officials. “It is highly unlikely that they would break the rule, but one can never vouch,” added the officer. “Prima facie this seems to be an act of vengeance, which could have risen from a recent article of J Dey,” the officer said. Police are also probing the involvement of quarrying mafia in J Dey’s murder. J Dey recently had authored an article, where he had reported of explosives and detonators gone missing following a police raid on the quarrying mafia at Silvassa. Jitendra Maru, an RTI activist from Silvassa said, “J Dey had planned to write a follow-up article on the quarrying mafia. He had talked to me on Friday afternoon, and asked me to be extra vigilant as his first report had made the state government order an enquiry.” The other possibility that police officials are investigating is the involvement of oil and diesel mafia who were exposed by J Dey in a series of recent articles in MiD DAY. “But there has been a flux in underworld mafia operating in Mumbai, and new alliances have been formed. The newly recruited gunrunners are ruthless, and one cannot rule out their possibility in his killing,” said a senior police officer, requesting anonymity. http://www.hindustantimes.com/Who-killed-J-Dey/Article1-708363.aspx -- FN +91-832-2409490 or +91-9822122436 (after 2pm) #784 Nr Lourdes Convent, Saligao 403511 Goa India http://fn.goa-india.org http://goa1556.goa-india.org
