I once attended a residential seminar conducted by the All Goa Mathematics
Teachers Association at Ramnathi.

The conditions given by the Ramnathi Temple authorities for the use of the
rooms and hall were fairly clear: No non-veg food and the veg food served
had to contain no plant which was grown underground e.g. potatoes, radishes,
onions, garlic, etc. beside other conditions.

Again they were kind enough to supply the food and believe me or not it was
wholesome, tasty and enjoyable.

In North India, my friends used to be amazed to learn that vegetarians in
Goa eat fish and mutton and eggs, whereas in the North Indian tradition,
vegetarian means vegetables only.

*It seems some vegetarians are more vegetarian than others!*

On 18th June 1946 Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia defied the ban and censorship and
launched a Civil Disobedience Movement and gave one of those sparks that led
to ‘Beginning of the end of Portuguese Rule’ in Goa. But those who gathered
the wood so that the spark would turn into fire have been long forgotten;
unknowingly or unintentionally is best left to our imagination, one such
unsung hero of was Dr. Juliao Menezes.

Dr. Juliao Menezes was born in Assolna, Goa on August 7, 1909 to Zeferrino
Piedade Menezes and Salvacao Menezes. His father died at a very young age on
the ship which he was working. He did his early schooling in Assolna and
Panjim and after finishing Lyceum (Portuguese high school) he went to the
Berlin University in late 1920s and completed his MD in Medicine
(Dermatologist). While studying in Panjim he was greatly influenced by the
patriotic writings and actions of Luis de Menezes Braganza and other
rationalist writers. In Berlin he also took courses in Indian history -
Indology. It was there that he met Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, who was studying
Economics at the same University. He took active part in the Indian
Students’ Union in Berlin, along with Dr. Lohia who was the secretary of the
Union. It was later known as the unofficial Indian Embassy in Berlin during
the regime of German National Socialism.

Once in the 1930s when Dr. Lohia and Dr Juliao attended the session of the
League of Nations in Geneva, they both booed at Maharaja of Binkaner, a
representative of India, who was talking about peace. They were both thrown
out from the gallery and such was his indomitable spirit.

Lohia completed his Ph. D and returned to India in 1933 but Juliao stayed
back and completed his MD. He returned to Goa in 1938 and reactivated the
Juvenile Club de Assolna to spread rationalist thinking and Nationalist
activities. But those who were brought up to believe in the myth of colonial
supremacy frowned upon his ideas of emancipation that he struggled to
stimulate among the youth. His speeches at a reception were reported to the
authorities and strict watch was kept on him. One day when the Piazza Cross
at Assolna was desecrated, the village elders pointed a finger at him and on
this pretext the authorities branded him as a communist. The fascist police
raided the library of the Club Juvenile and sealed the club premises and the
library. Later the moveable items in the club and library were auctioned by
the Revenue Department (*Fezenda*) and a curfew was imposed in the Assolna
market area.

It wasn’t easy for any individual in Goa in those days to make a dent in the
public opinion that was controlled autocratically by the lackeys of the
dictatorship. Goans of that time were brought up to be powerless, and as
such, they were scared to make changes in their ways of thinking and break
up the fetters that bound them. Frustrated, Dr. Juliao left for Bombay.
There in 1939 he founded the Gomantak Praja Mandal, and in 1942 he launched
a bilingual weekly Gomantak (Konkani and English) to liberate Goans from
their servile mental attitudes.

He kept in touch with Dr. Lohia who was underground in Mumbai and often gave
him shelter after the Indian National Congress (INC) and Mahatma Gandhi gave
call for ‘Do or Die’ in August 1942. Dr. Lohia expressed his desire to hind
in Goa but Dr. Menezes advised him not to do so as the British agents were
active in Goa just as in Mumbai. Taking the advice of his friend, Dr. Lohia
escaped to Nepal but was arrested by the police in 1943. After his release
he was arrested once again when he arrived in Mumbai in 1944 and was taken
to a notorious prison in Lahore. After his release from Lahore in 1946, he
came to Mumbai and met Dr. Menezes who examined and told him that he needed
rest. He offered to take him to his village Assolna, Goa. Dr. Lohia accepted
the invitation and arrived at Dr. Juliao’s place in Assolna on June 10,
1946. The news of Lohia’s arrival spread among some Goans, but when Evagrio
Jorge reported it with biographical notes of Lohia in O Heraldo the news
spread all over Goa.

Dr. Juliao’s place in Assolna became the meeting place for many Goan
intellectuals and political activists of that time, who went there to
consult with Lohia and Juliao. It was there that the movement for Goa’s
civil liberties was born. In that respect, Juliao’s house in Assolna is
Goa’s historical landmark.

Dr. Lohia decided to fight for the civil liberties of Goans. Till June 14,
the two leaders met various important people from all walks of life at Dr.
Menezes’ residence. On June 15 Dr. Menezes took Dr. Lohia to Mormugao at the
invitation of the Nationalists and the next day they met in Panjim at
Damodar Vidyalaya.

But the main climax of the movement for civil disobedience arrived on June
18, 1946 at Margao, as planned. Goans – men and women came in flocks to
welcome Dr. Juliao Menezes and Dr. Lohia

Now, Freedom fighters clean Memorial at Azad Maidan..

“Soon after the main function was over, the 
Freedom Fighters who were protesting outside went 
to the Martyrs Memorial, threw away the flowers/wreath 
placed by CM, Governor and other VIPs, cleaned/washed 
the contaminated or polluted? area with mineral water 
and then paid their own floral tribute”
 

What a classic drama by the FFs?
I think is amounts to disrespect to the Martyrs or Freedom Fighters

Moreover, Goa CM, Governor etc (no matter who they are) should 
deserve some respect atleast at the places like this.

FFs action condemnable, shame on them.

[Goanet] Cyprian Fernandes' Sunday Masala: English? Stop the sickness!

2011-06-19 Thread Eddie Fernandes

Title: English? Stop the sickness!
By: Cyprian Fernandes
Source: Goan Voice Daily Newsletter, Sunday 19 June 2011 at
www.goanvoice.org.uk

WHAT is this madness, this lunacy that is driving illustrious men and women
to put their bodies on the line against English as a medium of instruction
in Goan schools? Surely this is not a religious thing? I mean 25% per cent
of the population which is Catholic showing the vision for tomorrow for all?
And is the vision being fought simply  because it is ushered in by the
minority Catholics? Surely we are not that backward or dumb in Goa, are we?
Looking from the outside in, I can only shake my head in shame. English is
spoken by between 470 million and one billion people worldwide. In India,
125 million speak English. Most of them are second and third language
speakers. English is today's global language. The battle has waged against
the English language for centuries but time has always declared it the
victor of the controversy. Hence the current battles being fought in Goa to
stop the funding of schools where English is the medium of instruction is
nothing new. In fact, the battle over languages has been simmering in India
for many generations.
 
The most celebrated of course is the Hindi-Urdu divide which spilt much
blood before a resolution of sorts was arrived at. At various points in
history, Hindi and Urdu were given equal recognition. To this day, there are
people in India who are still not satisfied with the split that sent Urdu
north to Pakistan and retained Hindi (Hindustani) in India. After all the
battles, all the blood, it is ironic that English has made such inroads in
India and is the second national language of Pakistan. It is almost a status
symbol to speak English among families.
 
The battle for Konkani was no less illustrious. Marathi always claimed
Konkani as its dialect, resulting in both sections of Goans at war for many
decades. Things became worse as the Portuguese made their language the
official and social lingua franca. It was also the official language of the
Catholics. Marathi was the language of the Hindus.  
 
Finally, on 4 February 1987, the Goa Legislative Assembly passed the
Official Language Bill making Konkani the Official Language of Goa.  After
much blood and martyrs, Konkani won its day. For someone outside looking in
the decision to fund English as a medium of instruction is a no brainer and
to oppose it one would have to be living in the dark ages or be irrelevant
in today's world. It is a simple decision that should have been made 50
years ago. So go global with English, stay local with Konkani.
 
In June 1976, the apartheid South African government decreed that Afrikaans
was to be the language of instruction in schools as opposed to English.
There was a momentous uprising by students in Soweto and the police response
resulted in as many as 200 children dead and many more hundreds injured. The
student action came at a time when the black campaign for freedom was a lull
and soon the fires of freedom were burning in every black soul, thanks to
the brave students. The rest is history and it is not unfair to say that
modern South Africa owes much to the child heroes of Soweto. Today, English
reigns supreme in South Africa. 
 
History records other battles for supremacy of one language over another. In
all these battles, there is a common thread for the winning language: the
loser loses bits or parts of its culture. Overseas Goans who have replaced
Konkani with English and have become one language families must feel a
subconscious, or even a conscious, distancing from the old country. I mean
there is a certain cultural heritage (you may say cultural cringe) in
thinking in Konkani. Perhaps over time we may have thrown the cultural baby
with the English bathwater because the current of the English language was
overwhelming. I mean if we really care we could always learn Konkani.
 
Let us hope that the so called Freedom Fighters do not attempt to sabotage
democracy by going on a hunger strike.

2011-06-18

Parents are aghast at the hypocrisy of the Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch
leaders. It was an open secret that most of them have happily put their
children and grandchildren into English medium primary schools. It was only
when the fiery Adv Radharao Gracias made a public statement to the press
exposing the hypocrisy of the BBSM leaders that more and more Goans are
getting an idea of the real truth.

Shashikala Kakodkar sent her son to an English Medium School - to a hated
Christian institution like Don Bosco's no less! Her grandchildren are
studying in Sharada Mandir where the donations to get one's child in
allegedly go into thousands.

Uday Bhembre confessed to *Herald* reporters that Radharao was right that
his grandchildren go to an English medium primary school. He also said he
could not interfere since he was not the parent of the children only the
grandparent.

I don’t decide the future of my granddaughter. It is not right for me to
decide her future, Bhembre is quoted to have said.

He has no qualms however of deciding the futures of lakhs of children from
middle and lower income families.

Kiran Naik's child must be terribly confused now. Junior Naik has been
pulled out of a Konkani MOI school and put into Bhatikar's English medium
school. Yes Bhatikar is also one of the leaders of BBSM and yes he runs an
English medium primary school. Now after the furore, Naik has taken his
child out of Bhatikar's and is enrolling the child into Popular School,
Margao.

Botak Zai Tedna Omas

   

The article Grandchild Studying in English : Bhembre on Herald dated 19th
June'11, makes an interesting read. Advocate and one of the stalwarts of the
Konkani movement in the mid eighties says that the future of his grandchild is
not his prerogative since he is not the child's parent and the decision is
entirely of the parents, who are his son and daughter in-law. To me this sounds
like botak zai tendna omas 

 

If Advocate Uday Bhembre has no right to decide his own grandchild's MOI, which
constitution on earth has given him or Shashikala the right to decide my
grandchild's MOI ? Is it only Advocate Uday Bhembre and his family the recipient
of the democratic norms of this country and we are not ?   

 

Advocate Uday Bhembre, has exercised his democratic right of the MOI when he
educated his children in the MOI of his choice and now his own son exercised his
right to the MOI of his child and it is this very same right that the parents in
Goa are fighting for. So as citizens of democratic India aren't all Goans
entitled to this divine right ? Senior Uday Bhembre being an advocated should
know the advocacies of democracy better than any lay man or even a woman like
Shashikala Kakodkar who at her age could be suffering from amnesia.

PANAJI: Three tourists from
Haryanahttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/tourists-from-Haryana
were
injured in a violent altercation with local residents who retaliated after
one of them fired gun shots in the air at Baga on Saturday.

Anjuna PI Manjunath Desai who is holding charge of Calangute police
stationhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Calangute-police-station
said
that five tourists holidaying in Goa, were on their way from Panaji to Baga
by car. On the way, three of them stopped along the Baga bridge and began
clicking photographs of some local residents without their consent. This led
to an argument between the angered locals and the three tourists. Finding
themselves in a tight spot, one of them telephoned his friends who were in
the car at the other end of the bridge.

The two rushed to help their friends and heated arguments ensued, even as
the crowd increased in size. Fearing the angry crowd, who threatened to pelt
stones at the tourists, one of them pulled out his revolver and fired it in
the air apparently to frighten the locals, the police said. Before the
locals could retaliate, the five drove away only to be chased by the locals.
Even as the Haryana tourists drove fast through some narrow roads, they were
ultimately caught by the locals. Fearing for their lives, the driver and the
one who had fired the shots in the air, fled from the scene. The three
others were attacked by the locals and their Haryana-registered car was also
damaged, the police said.

When the police rushed to the spot, they discovered that the three tourists
had sustained injuries. They were rushed to the Goa Medical College (GMC)
and hospital. The police had not registered the case till midnight. An
official from the Calangute police station said it would take some time,
adding that the three had been discharged from the hospital.

while individuals involved in the group would obviously have their own
affiliations.

Besides, no campaign group can claim to be apolitical (even not taking
a stand is taking a stand!) But it makes a lot of sense for anyone

Fred,
I too would like to add to Joel's appreciation of your information about the
De Souzas .. the radical as well as the not so radical . Nice to be
linked to other fellow Goans irrespective of whether they migrated or not.
Ceylon owes Goan a lot . apart from Armand I am also thinking of Blessed
John Vaz. 

The De Souzas are a good example of that intangible factor called Goan
Heritage With their background they could blend into Ceylon or Paris and be
part of trendy world movements socialists, Marxist 

Were there other Goan Editors outside India?

[Goanet] St. Anthony Feast celebrated at Siolim today 19th June 2011

2011-06-19 Thread JoeGoaUk



The feast of St. Anthony celebrated today 19th June, 2011 at Siolim, Goa

It wasn’t raining the whole day except just before the end of 
procession.

St. Anthony of Siolim is different. He is holding a giant ‘sorop’ or serpent 
or cobra in his hand.

Actually, it’s not a sorop but a deuchar or devil or satan in the form 
of a snake.
It seems the Snake brought lot of fear and hardship at the time of construction 
of the church thus making it impossible to carry on with the 
construction work etc  (this must be around 1567.)

The workers together with the priest prayed to St Anthony and kept 
his statue at their workplace. 
The next morning the cobra was found dead around the base of the statue. 
It is for this reason that the statue of St Anthony only in Siolim has a 
serpent in his hand. See pics
 

The Church also has the Saint's relic. - see pic

Normally. St. Anthony feast is celebrated on 13th June every year,
don’t know why this one on the 19th June

 

Extra:
I saw some san’nas for sale in the feast fair for the first time
Guest what, I could not find my favourite Reuddio in the whole of the 
Feast fair or feri.
Just bought some Chonne and Khajem returned back home since no Siolkar invited 
us for their feast ;-)

2011-06-19 Thread Camillo Fernandes


Gabe and Freddy in below posts which make very interesting read, have exposed 
the hyporcricy of BBSM leaders who organised the recent Goa bandh.  Yes these 
hypocrites preach one thing and practice another.  They would like to enjoy the 
benefits of education their family membersin English  while deprive the others 
from it.  Goans can easily see their game and teach these leaders and their 
parties by never voting for them and never allowing them to impose their views

Yes my grandaughter goes to an English MOI school, but yours should not
2011-06-18

Parents are aghast at the hypocrisy of the Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch
leaders. It was an open secret that most of them have happily put their
children and grandchildren into English medium primary schools. It was only
when the fiery Adv Radharao Gracias made a public statement to the press
exposing the hypocrisy of the BBSM leaders that more and more Goans are
getting an idea of the real truth.

Shashikala Kakodkar sent her son to an English Medium School - to a hated
Christian institution like Don Bosco's no less! Her grandchildren are
studying in Sharada Mandir where the donations to get one's child in
allegedly go into thousands.

Uday Bhembre confessed to *Herald* reporters that Radharao was right that
his grandchildren go to an English medium primary school. He also said he
could not interfere since he was not the parent of the children only the
grandparent.

I don?t decide the future of my granddaughter. It is not right for me to
decide her future, Bhembre is quoted to have said.

He has no qualms however of deciding the futures of lakhs of children from
middle and lower income families.

Kiran Naik's child must be terribly confused now. Junior Naik has been
pulled out of a Konkani MOI school and put into Bhatikar's English medium
school. Yes Bhatikar is also one of the leaders of BBSM and yes he runs an
English medium primary school. Now after the furore, Naik has taken his
child out of Bhatikar's and is enrolling the child into Popular School,
Margao.

The article Grandchild Studying in English : Bhembre on Herald dated 19th
June'11, makes an interesting read. Advocate and one of the stalwarts of the
Konkani movement in the mid eighties says that the future of his grandchild is
not his prerogative since he is not the child's parent and the decision is
entirely of the parents, who are his son and daughter in-law. To me this sounds
like botak zai tendna omas 
 
 
 
If Advocate Uday Bhembre has no right to decide his own grandchild's MOI, which
constitution on earth has given him or Shashikala the right to decide my
grandchild's MOI ? Is it only Advocate Uday Bhembre and his family the recipient
of the democratic norms of this country and we are not ? 
 
 
 
Advocate Uday Bhembre, has exercised his democratic right of the MOI when he
educated his children in the MOI of his choice and now his own son exercised his
right to the MOI of his child and it is this very same right that the parents in
Goa are fighting for. So as citizens of democratic India aren't all Goans
entitled to this divine right ? Senior Uday Bhembre being an advocated should
know the advocacies of democracy better than any lay man or even a woman like
Shashikala Kakodkar who at her age could be suffering from amnesia.

2011-06-19 Thread Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेडरिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا

This is not at all surprising. Goans can expect this gun culture of  Delhi, 
Gurgao, Haryana and the rest to be a daily affair in Goa.  A year ago a similar 
incident took place near O'coqueiro junction when a non-goan driving his car in 
a rash manner scrapped a motor bike. The moment the bike rider blocked the car 
and begain to argue the driver took the revolver from the dash board of his car 
ahd threatened tho shoot. The crowd stepped back and he drove away.  
This will be the revolution for 2020. These fears seem unrealistic for some 
wise Goans on goanet and we are accused of biases. So could the concerns and 
warnings from some sincere non-goans who live here of such North Indian culture 
of violence taking hold also be biased?

Dear Nelson,

You are the MF Husain with a paint brush so effectively wielded, bold and 
faint.
But then, you must realize that your elaborate painting will fetch a good 
appreciation even to the extent of being hung on the educated walls.
That's it. Nada mais.  It will remain there, unseen and un-acknowledged, to 
die a death of disregard, while the electorate moves like ants,  life 
rolling, with elections coming and going with the regularity of the  monsoon 
rains.


PEOPLE VOTE FOR PEOPLE. And that is the fact of life. PEOPLE WILL NEVER VOTE 
FOR A SYSTEM.
You give them the best in governance, you show them how it will work, you 
show them the self-sacrifice involved, you flash the benefits that this 
SYSTEM of governance will provide them in the short /long run, in short you 
exhaust your tonsils to better inform them that what you are promoting  will 
take care of the aches and pains of mal governance and corruption that  they 
are cursing from daybreak to sunset.


Sadly, NO. It will not work, unless and until you give them the person they 
want to vote for. They know very well that what you have explained cannot go 
hand in hand with the person they want to vote  to power. They will discard 
your excellent first class picture of good governance, even pee on it, but 
vote they will the person they have decided to vote for.


I am talking through experience well earned. I have tried telling  people to 
go for a SYSTEM that is written down, a SYSTEM which is sure to work if the 
right amount of discipline is involved, that, even if a DONKEY is fielded as 
the candidate who has been chosen to drive that SYSTEM home, to GO FOR IT, 
blindly.


The response that I have received is: WHO CARES FOR THE SYSTEM.. WE WANT 
TO VOTE FOR THE RIGHT CANDIDATE, the CANDIDATE  who will WIN. ... 
meaning.. 'WE DO NOT WANT TO WASTE OUR VOTE'


This only translates into . the 'candidate' who will satisfy every urge 
of mine, before elections as much as after elections.


I am wiser now.
I have stopped telling people how diligent the SYSTEM must be that will 
govern them because, you give them the best and nothing will come of it. All 
that  I want to do is to get my facts in order (work towards getting the 
facts stright and proper) as to how many voters in each and every 'booth' of 
a constituency will press the button on the symbol that is projected FOR 
CHANGE when the time comes. If the right, necessary 'average' does not gel 
in the preliminary estimates,  it is wise to drop this electoral exercise 
like a hot coal and retire, to save a lot of grief and trouble.


The final word is either one of these two:-
1. Your desired 'average' will be attained only with  ingeniously designed 
all-round incentives to the voter.

OR
2. Painstaking NETWORKING  with people (if there are people) who desire 
'good-effective-governance' for a change,  much in advance of the final 
push-button date, remembering that one does not have to work the entire 
'ROLL' to attain this magic average.

My dear Floriano why ask me those questions. Each party must have its

The main question that you must answer is why the GRA is entertaining
a politician like you when it says it is apolitical. I see a
hypocrisy in this and please answer if you do think it so or not.
If I was in your place, I would have resigned from the GRA and pursued
my goals or interests of the party without aligning with any NGO.
When a politician becomes part of an NGO the NGO loses credibility.
This is the first lesson you should have learnt in your education to

[Goanet] Indian Arrows are on target, says Bulpin

2011-06-19 Thread armstrong augusto vaz

http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/international-sport/156292-indian-arrows-are-on-target-says-bulpin.html

By Armstrong Vas

Doha: The launch of India’s football youth development programme and
the formation of the Indian Arrows I-League team has turned out to be
a ‘big step in the right direction,’ Desmond Bulpin (pictured right),
the English coach of the cricket crazy country, said.

“I congratulate All India Football Federation (AIFF) President (Praful
Patel), Bob Houghton for initiating the brilliant idea of having a
team of Under-21 players together and playing them in the I-League,”
said Bulpin who is here for the London Olympic Games qualifying match
against Qatar.

The Indian Arrows were founded in the summer of 2010 as the AIFF XI
and took over the place of disbanded Mahindra United in the I-League.

“Look at my squad. It is almost ready-made. Isn’t it?” Bulpin asked.

“The beauty of the squad stays that most of the boys – ten out of my
registered eighteen are from Indian Arrows. It’s been served on a
platter,” he added.

But a lot of things need to be done on the youth development front, he said.

“I am happy. They are doing their best (All India Football
Federation). It will take time for the game to take shape.
Infrastructure, academies, good pitches are needed all over India
Leagues for younger players starting from the age of 12 onwards will
do wonders. Most importantly, they all should have good coaches,” he
said.

Bulpin who spend most of his life coaching in England has also coached
in Singapore, Uzbekistan and Philippines, says it’s a pleasure to work
with the Indian boys.

“Having worked in Singapore, Uzbekistan and spend most of my life in
England what I find the best thing about the Asian boys and the Indian
boys and especially the Indian boys is that they have a very good
attitude. These boys (Indian Arrows) are very eager to learn and
listen. It’s a pleasure to work with them.”

“Today the society in England is not as good as yours (Qatar) or in
India, where you get a lot respect. We work very hard and the result
will show in the years to come,” said Bulpin.

Reflecting on the performance of his team in the I-league which
finished ninth after initial problems, but it was a credible finish
for the youngsters as the team had no foreigners like all other clubs,
Bulpin took pride in the fact that his boys defeat a 100-year-old-club
Mohun Bagan in the I-league.

“We are just one year old, unlike Mohun Bagan, which is over 100
years. We beat them 5-4 in the I-League.”

On the availability of talent in India, Bulpin said: “Talent is
aplenty here. But it has to be nurtured in the right way. Give them
the good nutrition, education and most importantly, the basics of the
game. If the players are provided all this and trained well, Indian
football can be like cricket in the country.”

The Arrows were part of the program initiated by former national coach
Houghton and youth development director Colm Toal to prepare an Indian
national team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Bulpin said the five-year partnership agreement recently signed with
Pailan Group is a big development.

“The Pailan Group will be looking after the Arrows from the new season
onwards with the team’s training base being at the Pailan World
School’s ground in Joka, which will provide two training pitches along
with other facilities including a swimming pool, lodging and food.”

The AIFF spend around Rs70m were feeling the financial burden was too
high to sustain over a long-term period and the entry of the Pailan
group has turned out to a big boost.

Also under the AFC Club Licencing criteria the Indian Arrows need to
be run as a team and not as part of the federations youth development,
which forced the AIFF also to look at options on how to keep the plans
for the future running.

register a 3-1 win over a fighting India in the second round
qualifying match of the 2012 London Olympics at Al Sadd Stadium here
yesterday.

The 2022 World Cup hosts conceded a fifth-minute goal but bounced back
to score three.

The action now shifts to Pune on June 23 where the two teams play the
return leg.

India struck early in the very fifth minute through ace striker Jeje
Lalpekhlua. Qatar equalised in the 14th minute through Hamad Al
Khalfan. The hosts took the lead through captain Hassan Al Haydos who
struck in the 54th minute. Qatar completed the tally thorough
substitute Elneel who found the net in the 69th minute.

India hardly took time to settle down. The boys in blue struck through
a dead-ball situation.

Captain Raju Gaikwad, who has earned a reputation for long throws back
home in the Indian I-League showed his utility level yet again.

The Qataris had a measure of things to come from Gaikwad in the very
fourth minute when his long throw created goal-mouth confusion but the
hosts averted the danger. A minute later, Lalpekhlua ensured Gaikwad’s
long throw-in didn’t go in vain.

Lalpekhlua, who emerged as the highest goal scorer among the Indians
in the I-league with 13 goals, controlled the long thrown-in and in a
swift turn around essayed a snap shot which came off a defender. The
Indian striker, however, was quick to latch on to the loose ball,
guiding the ball past the Qatari keeper, much to the roar of the
Indian supporters.

Qatar recovered from the early jolt to force a spot kick in the ninth
minute. UAE referee Mohamed Abdelkarim Mohamed Alzarooni pointed to
the penalty spot when Abdelaziz Hatim was brought down inside the box.

Qatari captain Al Haydos, who took the kick, couldn’t get past the
defence of the Indian keeper Laxmikanth Kattimani.

Kattimani, who plays for Dempo Sports Club in the I-league dived to
his right to block Al Haydos kick.

Five minutes later he couldn’t stop Al Khalfan from scoring Qatar’s
first goal. The Qatari striker took full toll of the defence
misunderstanding between the defenders and Kattimani.

Al Khalfan who found himself free, side-stepped the advancing keeper
to gently roll the ball into an unguarded goal.

The Indians, who relied on the counter-attacks to break into the Qatar
defence came close to scoring in the 29th minute but Lalpekhlua who
was put through by Lalrindika Ralte was disposed in nick of time by
the Qatari defence.

The Qatari fans survived a few anxious with seven minutes to go for
the final whistle as goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb held on to the ball as
if he was holding to dear life.

Sheeb, in the process of collecting a long throw-in from Gaikwad lost
his balance and landed into the goal, but the goalkeeper ensured that
the ball did not cross the goal-line while his lower part of the body
crossed the goal-line.

Qatar were a transformed side in the second half. A pep talk by
Simondi Bernard, the French coach seemed to have an effect.

Nine minutes into the second half, Qatar took the lead. Qatari captain
Al Haydos who went unchallenged into the Indian area took full
advantage of the situation to essay a 30-yard drive which went past a
diving Kattimani.

Goaded by the lead, Qatar pressed for more goals and Abdulassis Al
Ansari’s long-ranger was saved by the Indian keeper. Qatar
consolidated the lead through substitute Mohamed Salah Elneel.

Elneel, who came in for Al Khalfan, slotted home the loose ball which
Al Ansari rolled for him. Elneel placed the ball past Kattimani with
no Indian defender in sight to challenge him. Thereafter, Indian goal
survived two close shaves. One effort each of Al Ansari and Elneel
came off the crossbar.

At the other end, Qatar goalkeeper too was stretched to his limit
twice, first when he plucked Jewel Raja Shaikh’s free kick from
nowhere and on the second occasion he blocked an Arnab Kumar Mandal
header.

Parents defeated the bandh by accompanying children to school

By Nisser Dias
nisserdias at gmail.com
SMS to 9422437029


The all Goa bandh called by the Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch (BBSM) 
to coincide with the re-opening of the academic year 2011-2012 to 
protest the government’s decision to extend grant-in-aid to government 
and aided schools who adopt English as one of the medium of instruction 
(MOI) was defeated by the parents as they defiantly refused to boycott 
school. The parents unitedly took their children to schools all over the 
state to mark high percentage of attendance and also to convey a message 
to the protestors that they do not have the support of the parents.


Members of BBSM, BJP, MGP, Shiv Sena and all those who actively 
supported the bandh might shout from roof tops that it was successful 
but what should be the parameters to decide its success. Should it be 
blocking of highways, forcibly shutting down business establishments, 
stoning and damaging government property, threatening motorists or 
should it be the attendance in schools. If the latter is taken as the 
sole parameter to decide the success then all those supporting the bandh 
have failed miserably. If the attendance in schools is taken as the 
parameter to decide the success of the bandh then the parents have 
outright rejected BBSM and embraced the decision of the government 
giving a choice to parents to educate their children.


Furthermore businessmen and entrepreneurs have not downed shutters 
willingly or to show solidarity with the protestors. They have done so 
out of fear of hooligans and goons who have entrenched themselves in 
communal political parties like the BJP, MGP and Shiv Sena. For example 
BJP’s candidate in Margao Sharmad Raiturkar was shown on local channels 
threatening and coercing shop owners who defied the bandh call to close 
down or face the consequences. And police instead of giving protection 
to the businessmen looked as if they were personal body guards of 
Raiturkar. Another personality of the saffron party who was leading BJP 
vagabonds and hooligans was Rupesh Mahatme who has loads of experience 
in vandalism and is alleged to have been a member of the Goan team that 
had taken part in the demolition of Babri Masjid.


Another aspect of the bandh is that, the BBSM have been successful in 
using force and violent means to close business establishments in the 
state to the extent that many of the goons barged into various banks and 
manhandled staff and forced them to close. However though most of the 
entrepreneurs and banking staff saw to it that they dropped their 
children to school. I expected Opposition leader Manohar Parrikar one of 
the most qualified person in the state to display some dignity and 
maturity but he himself was part of the hooligans and protestors roaming 
the streets to forcibly closed down establishments and paralyze the state.


Infact Manohar Parrikar has no moral right to participate in the bandh 
as in 2009 All Goa Unaided Schools Parents Association (AGUSPA) had 
brought to his notice about the exploitation of parents by managements 
of private unaided school and also the lack of opportunity for the lower 
section of the society to study English. He promised a discussion but 
never got round to doing it for almost two years.


His attitude brings a question to my mind, does education in Marathi of 
which he is strong believer, inculcates intolerance, violence and 
hooliganism. Otherwise why did Parrikar and BBSM fail to demand a 
special assembly session to debate the matter before resorting to bandh? 
Why did they not approach the High Court through writ petition before 
causing hardship to the general public and loss to the state. This would 
have an educated approach rather than using force to close down business 
establishment, paralyzing movement and indulging in vandalism.


Ultimately, the protestors has achieved nothing by resorting to bandh on 
the contrary they have lost their credibility and also sympathy from the 
general public.


Shashikala Kakodkar a staunch supporter of Marathi who was by her 
father’s side to merge Goa with Maharashtra has allegedly made some 
communal statements like the government’s decision to give a choice to 
the parents is an appeasement to the minority community. I simply cannot 
understand why the minority is being targeted, if a demand is made for 
Romi script, the minorities are blamed, demand for English as one of the 
mediums of instruction fingers are pointed at minorities. Has this 
protaganist of Marathi and lover of Maharashtra ever stopped to think or 
rather check the percentage of students from the majority community 
attending English medium private schools, has she the answers to the 
high percentage of students from majority community attending schools 
run by minorities who are dedicatedly imparting education to students 
irrespective of caste, creed and religion. It would better for

 COMMENT : Sorry; I was not talking or referring to other languages.
 I was talking about English. And in English it is definitely wrong. Try
 addressing people that way when abroad in an English speaking nation. That was
 precisely why it is “Indian English”.

I guess the Indian culture of addressing elders with respect, has crept into 
the 'India English'.

Among Hindus, it has always been, 'kaka/kaki', 'mauso/maushi' and many others.
Among Catholics, it used to be similar. No elder was addressed by his/her or 
1st name, ever.
This was when Konkani was THE spoken language!

When the English language started creeping up in the 60s and 70s, all the 
Konkani terminology
started being transposed into the English that we started using. We used to 
greet our neighbors
with a Good morning/afternoon/evening, which if we did not do, got yelled at! 
Even the neighbours
used to point it out to you, if you did not wish them!
The western world on the other hand, accepted the usage of Mr or Mrs.XYZ or 
even the 1st 
name of the elders. 
Whether or not the Goan/Indian society will adopt the English way, only time 
will tell.

S.Helekar replies:

1. For me Ramani is as much a Goan name as D'Souza or Khan or Naik. The
fact that all Ramanis, D'Souzas, Khans and Naiks are not Goans is immaterial
to this discussion.

Comment:
Mr. Helekar first assumes that Ramani is a Goan surname exclusively and
accuses me of including this in my list of non-goan surnames. Now the
surname even if non-goan becomes immaterial. For me it is very much relevant 
just as a Nayak
(Naik) , Deshpande, 'Poskote or Baskote' and the rest   who 
masquerade as Goans for merger and marathi and call

us anti-national and teach us culture.

S. Helekar further wrote:
2.  Restating what I said earlier more directly, for the sake of reason and
sanity I cannot believe without evidence that there are anti-Goan
conspiracies among migrants in Goa.

Comment:
If you do not have evidence to believe, I have it from the horse's mouth. 
You understand what is 'slip of the tongue'?
There are also good non-goans who will testify to this non-goan conspiracy 
as much as there are genuine
Hindus who will testify about the secret hate campaigns of the communal 
forces in Goa.
This imposition of cultures and languages is the reason for racial hatred 
against Indians in some countries.
Carefully observing, the bulk of these venomous elements in Goa are from 
beyond the
borders. Of course every family has its fair share of black sheep. As the 
konkani adage goes 'bhitorlo bheddi, bhailo chor'.


You Mr. Helekar may prefer to pretend or live in your shell claiming that 
there is no danger around. Well, I do not.

I have good friends from the non-goan community as much as from the Hindu
community and there is no reason for me to simply suspect conspiracies. I am 
not a politician nor do I have political ambitions by creating a communal 
divide.
Only time reveals the truth just like the Hazare-Ramdev-BJP-VHP--?

But Truth definitely manifests itself sooner or later.

TOI e-version writes: 

NEW DELHI: Thousands of people have gathered at Rajghat here to take part in
the day-long hunger strike called by Anna Hazare to protest against police
crackdown on Baba Ramdev and his supporters during their agitation against
corruption. 

Anna Hazare will begin his day-long fast at the Rajghat at 10 am. 

A number of youths wearing Gandhi caps and elderly people were seen at the
spot waving the tricolour amidst a heavy posse of security personnel. 

A man dressed like Mahatma Gandhi was the centre of attraction as he sang
Gandhi's favourite bhajan 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram'. 

With Delhi Police refusing permission for the day-long hunger strike at
Jantar Mantar, Hazare had decided to shift the venue to Rajghat to avoid a
confrontation. 

Civil rights activists had contended that denial of permission to hold
peaceful protest was against the basic Constitutional rights of citizens. 

The Hazare-led protest will be accompanied by an all-religion prayer meeting
and a debate on Lokpal Bill. 

A senior police official said on Tuesday that they have refused permission
for the fast at Jantar Mantar due to prohibitory orders at the site after
the police action against Baba Ramdev in Ramlila Maidan on Sunday.

People,
Avoid getting into this whole business of class, etc. Are we hurting so much
that we wish to point this that and the other? Are we representing one group
over another. Or aligning with notions of class/entitlement/privilege or
sheer satisfaction,. As in demanding satisfaction?! Are we disposed to align
with one continent against/over another too in the prerogative we hold in
our minds about advantage?

People of culture do not use the word culture. They truly do not need to.

On top of it some of us have had a priest in the family (mine), but now it
apparent that my people did not learn much. All the above applies. The
priest learnt though. Social construct? Get the point? The point is that by
giving an example closer to home instead of: they are, she is, he said, they
did, they are this, she is that --one points to the futility and banality of
the crassness we inadvertently align ourselves to thinking we are better
off. And Christians to boot!

On the one hand someone bleeds, on the other hand equally crass
(paixt) characters get to burnish their lacklustre, smarmy credentials, And
so it goes. Some watch and wait, others make sure they get to debate all
sides, while assiduously assuring their children get the best culturally
speaking (Enlightenment down) of the same tactless, artless and
loose-character individuals they attack. And to make it clear point out that
one is friends with all comers!

Re: [Goanet] There cannot be another Goan Revolution

2011-06-19 Thread Santosh Helekar

Soterbab appears to be creating his own exclusive reality here, one that no 
other person who objectively reads my posts in this thread would be able to 
recognize. I merely pointed out that Ramani was a Goan name that was dragged 
into the mix. I never used the word exclusively. Here is that pertinent post 
of mine:

http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2011-June/209933.html

In any case, I noticed that Soterbab was not able to state clearly a single 
conspiracy theory that he believes in, let alone give any evidence grounded in 
the reality that is not exclusive to his own eyes and ears, nor his 
imagination. What's more, he wants me to take him at his word and receive the 
wisdom that he, as a self-proclaimed non-politician, has received from the 
horse's mouth and the mouths of all the genuine Hindus and non-Goans he knows. 

Fat chance!

Cheers,

Santosh

P.S. I also noticed that he singled out the name Naik from the three new 
names that I had mentioned, transformed it to Nayak, and added Deshpande to 
it. He left out D'Souza and Khan.

 S.Helekar replies:
 
 1. For me Ramani is as much a Goan name as D'Souza or Khan
 or Naik. The
 fact that all Ramanis, D'Souzas, Khans and Naiks are not
 Goans is immaterial
 to this discussion.
 
 Comment:
 Mr. Helekar first assumes that Ramani is a Goan surname
 exclusively and
 accuses me of including this in my list of non-goan
 surnames. Now the
 surname even if non-goan becomes immaterial. For me it is
 very much relevant just as a Nayak
 (Naik) , Deshpande, 'Poskote or Baskote' and the rest 
  who masquerade as Goans for merger and marathi and
 call
 us anti-national and teach us culture.
 
 S. Helekar further wrote:
 2.  Restating what I said earlier more directly, for
 the sake of reason and
 sanity I cannot believe without evidence that there are
 anti-Goan
 conspiracies among migrants in Goa.
 
 Comment:
 If you do not have evidence to believe, I have it from the
 horse's mouth. You understand what is 'slip of the tongue'?
 There are also good non-goans who will testify to this
 non-goan conspiracy as much as there are genuine
 Hindus who will testify about the secret hate campaigns of
 the communal forces in Goa.
 This imposition of cultures and languages is the reason for
 racial hatred against Indians in some countries.
 Carefully observing, the bulk of these venomous elements in
 Goa are from beyond the
 borders. Of course every family has its fair share of black
 sheep. As the konkani adage goes 'bhitorlo bheddi, bhailo
 chor'.
 
 You Mr. Helekar may prefer to pretend or live in your shell
 claiming that there is no danger around. Well, I do not.
 I have good friends from the non-goan community as much as
 from the Hindu
 community and there is no reason for me to simply suspect
 conspiracies. I am not a politician nor do I have political
 ambitions by creating a communal divide.
 Only time reveals the truth just like the
 Hazare-Ramdev-BJP-VHP--? connnections.
 But Truth definitely manifests itself sooner or later.

[Goanet] Konkani Muslims ... from the Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konkani_Muslims]

2011-06-19 Thread Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेडरिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا

Konkani Muslims
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konkani / Kokani Muslims is a Muslim sub-ethnic group of Maharashtrian
Muslims living in the Konkan region of India. They speak the Konkani
language. A good number of them live in Mumbai. There is a large
Konkani Muslim diaspora community of economic migrants working in the
Arab states of the Persian Gulf, the UK, the USA, South Africa and
East Africa (where they have been established for almost a century).

Muslims from the Maharashtrian districts of Raigad, Thane, Ratnagiri,
Sindhudurg as well as from the state of Goa are generally regarded as
Konkani Muslims. The Muslims of Southern Raigad and Ratnagiri district
speak a dialect of the Marathi language called Bankoti/Sangameshwari,
while those from southern Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and Goa speak the
Konkani language. Muslim people of south Sindhudurg near Malvan and
the former Maratha princely states of Sawantwadi and Oros speak a
dialect of Marathi / Konkani called Málvani language. The main food of
Kokni Muslims is non-vegetarian, mostly sea-food. Its staple food is
rice and bread made of rice (preferred at dinners) with fish and
lentils or vegetables. It is mainly influenced by Maharashtrian
cuisine.

A small number of Konkani Muslims are also settled in the city of
Karachi in Pakistan, particularly in the Kokan Town neighbourhood.

They predominantly adhere to the Shafi`i Madhab, unlike most Muslims
from the subcontinent who are Hanafis[1].

[Goanet] Football Qatar V/S India

2011-06-19 Thread Mario Vicente Santos Pereira

Hi Goaneters,
I have watched the football match between Qatar v/s India. Both the teams 
have equal players but it looks that Indian Team have less players on the 
ground. Though this team is very strong and well organized one they do not 
have proper control of the ball.  We must give some critics to players to 
improve the standard of the game. What I have seen is lack of team spirit 
with Indian boys. They do not cover the places but  just run after the 
ball and get tired. Many times they do not mark the players properly. 
Every where they run and sometimes two at a time and keeping a gap for the 
opponent player to  clear the ball easily. When two players  going to 
attack the ball  the opponent gets a chance to pass the ball easily to his 
partner who is on open ground.   There the weakness arises and the 
goalkeeper gets pressure to save the ball. 
According to the strength of this team they would have  won the match but 
they fail to impress the spectators. Surely they will be able to beat 
Qatar in their next home  ground match  in Pune.
All the best Viva football Viva Goa.
Regards,
Mario Vicente Santos Pereira,

Doha: The launch of India?s football youth development programme and
the formation of the Indian Arrows I-League team has turned out to be
a ?big step in the right direction,? Desmond Bulpin (pictured right),
the English coach of the cricket crazy country, said.

?I congratulate All India Football Federation (AIFF) President (Praful
Patel), Bob Houghton for initiating the brilliant idea of having a
team of Under-21 players together and playing them in the I-League,?
said Bulpin who is here for the London Olympic Games qualifying match
against Qatar.

[Goanet] The masks begin to drop

For several years the communalists and mergerists had managed to conceal their 
true faces behing secular masks. They mingled within secular initiatives and 
made the right noises at the right places. For the last several months these  
masks have begun to drop one by one no sooner they discovered that their 
gimmicks have been exposed. It has been our persisitent accusation that the 
Congress is as Communal as the BJP.  The likes of Uday Bhembre, Prashant Naik, 
Arvind Bhatikar have had a field day by taking unsuspecting people for a ride. 
But it is not possible for these masks to remain in place specially when one is 
on a public platform. 
The arrival of the Sagres Ship and the Medium of Instruction were the perdect 
occassions that helped expose this duplicity which lay concealed for several 
years and poisoned Goan society from beneath in the name of nationalism. It is 
high time that the likes of Uday Bhembre, Prashant Naik and Arvind Bhatikar 
must join the BJP rather than pretend to be aloof from any mischief and calling 
the BJP communal. The cunning Arvind Bhatikar thought that he could even trick 
the Archbishop of Goa into parading himself at the  anti-corruption rally in 
Goa by citing the example of the Archbishop of Delhi. But he miserably failed. 
There are other dumb mergerists and communalists who  continue to hold on to 
the mask by making statements through other mouth's and parade themselves on 
the pavements of Panjim as upright and unbiased. Their masks have started 
hanging half way. 
In the days to come the people of Goa will give a befitting reply to these 
forces.
