[Goanet] The Menace Of Ram Sene
The Menace Of Ram Sene The days of taking law into our own hands are long gone and in this 21st century it is a crime to do it, the guilty are supposed to be punished as severely as criminals themselves, that's what the law and our constitution tells us. Even the hardcore criminals are protected by laws against brutality by human rights groups. This is a civilized world and it has no place for self-righteous renegade vigilantes like Pramod Muthalik and menace of Ram Sene. Sometime back they took upon themselves to be the moral police of Karnataka as though they themselves were pillars of morality of our society. They did not fight against prostitution, they did not fight against drugs, they did not fight against the rising crime nor did they fight against corruption but they thought Valentine's day celebration was a crime, they thought girls in bars was a crime, they even think that spending time with the person you love before marriage in public is a crime. Has the Constitution of India been amended and our rights and freedom curtailed ? Not too long ago we saw videos of the brutality of these so called moral police of Karnataka when girls were dragged and beaten up for sitting in bars and walking with their boyfriends and those celebrating Valentine's day and as such Pramod Muthalik and his Ram Sene were barred from entering Goa and rightly so by the Congress. Goans do not need loose canons moving freely in Goa enforcing their outdated draconian ideologies. The Goan youth have reacted angrily and strongly against the Ram Sene trying to set up bases to contaminate Goa with their extremely dangerous and detrimental ideologies. It is good to see the youth getting involved to fight for their rights and freedom. Cancerous cells like the Ram Sene should be treated with chemotherapy at the inception and negated their advance further across the Goan border. CM, Manohar Parrikar has indeed warned the Ram Sene not to take the law in to their hands but that's not enough as the Ram Sene could be the cause of a very serious law and order situation in Goa and before that happens it would be very much prudent for CM, Manohar Parrikar to ban this unstable and highly volatile and combustible compound from entering Goan soil, as prevention is always better than cure. Goa compared to the rest of India, has been largely peaceful and very hospitable to outsiders but there is a limit to everything and Goans will not take kindly to outside forces who are trying to force their outdated and archaic ideologies on Goans. We have lived in unity and peace for centuries, absorbed cultures and traditions and lived in absolute harmony and it is this peace, unity, harmony and brotherhood that will be at stake if the Ram Sene is allowed operations in Goa. My fervent plea to the CM, Manohar Parrikar, for the sake of Goa and Goans, ban the Ram Sene's entry into Goa and do not allow this cancer to infect Goa and Goan. Let Goa remain a union of diversity living in harmony as we have lived in the centuries gone by. Let Goa be Goa, an amalgamation of cultures, traditions and history, united in diversity and the likes of Pramod Muthalik and the menace of Ram Sene can take a hike.

[Goanet] NEWS -- Goa: Four publications lined up for release in next two months (PTI)
Moneycontrol » News » Wire News Goa: Four publications lined up for release in next two months Published on Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 11:06 | Source : PTI Panaji, Jun 19 (PTI) Goa's media canvas has four important newspaper-magazine releases lined up over next two months, including a Marathi edition of the state's oldest newspaper Herald, Goa. A mining group Fomento Resources is planning a tabloid size weekly newspaper, while Herald Publications Private Limited, the century-old newspaper company, is foraying into a Marathi newspaper, a travel magazine and weekly newsmagazine. All launches, except travel magazine, are scheduled in August, this year. Sujay Gupta, Editor of the news magazine, owned by Fomento Resources, said the venture will look into issues that are nearer to the heart of Goans. Gupta, who had stint in Herald's English edition before moving for the latest venture, said the newspaper will have detailed international and national news coverage. The newspaper, he said, has a tie up with The New York Times for content sharing. A mining group, Fomento Resources owned by Timblo family, who has already established its presence in electronic media through a local cable television channel 'Prudent', is financing the tabloid. Gupta's newsmagazine has a competitor in the form of Herald's weekend supplement, which is currently taking shape. Michael Pereira, General Manager of Herald Publication, talking about the magazine, said that it would be a complete news magazine 'Herald Review' which will carry hard htitting stories. Herald is also in the final stages of launching its first ever Travel magazine 'Herald Holidays', which will be circulated through outbound flights and also to the tourism sector. Pereira said the magazine would be a mix of lifestyle and travel stuff, with Goa as a focus. "We will be highlighting even international destinations. The inaugural issue is on Bhutan," he said. Herald's Marathi newspaper would be a milestone in Goa's journalism. The newspaper edited by Sanjay Dhavalikar, is scheduled to be launched in mid-August. "The main thrust would be a local content. This newspaper will be completely independent from its English edition," said Dhavalikar, adding that the paper will create its own readership. Herald, Goa began as a Portuguese newspaper which later changed into English language journalism with strong base in Catholic population. Dhavalikar said that the 16-page Marathi broadsheet newspaper will break new grounds in the media field of Goa. Goa currently has eight Marathi newspapers, three English dailies and a Konkani newspaper besides a weekly and around four monthly magazines. http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/wire-news/goa-four-publications-linedfor-releasenext-two-months_719583.html

[Goanet] Featured This Week: Guitarist Mike Stern's New Release "All Over The Place"

(http://www.amazon.com/All-Over-Place-Mike-Stern/dp/B007WCJSWA/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1340060373&sr=1-1&keywords=mike+stern) Since his days with Blood Sweat & Tears in the mid-1970s, followed by stints with Billy Cobham and Miles Davis’ band in the ‘80s, and a solo career that now spans more than 25 years, guitarist Mike Stern has used his jazz roots as a starting point for exploring a range of alternate territories that include R&B, rock, swing, funk, world music and numerous other regions along the musical topography. The recipient of Guitar Player magazine’s Certified Legend Award for 2012, he’s an artist who’s not afraid to bring numerous styles and ideas – however diverse – into the same place just to see what happens. All Over the Place is Stern’s new recording on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group. Set for release on June 19, 2012, the 11-song set aligns the characteristically diverse and adventurous guitarist with a cadre of brilliant guests, including trumpeter Randy Brecker; saxophonist Kenny Garrett; and drummers Dave Weckl, Keith Carlock and Lionel Cordew. Also on hand is a delegation of high-caliber electric and acoustic bass players: Esperanza Spalding, Richard Bona, Victor Wooten, Anthony Jackson, Dave Holland, Tom Kennedy, Will Lee and Victor Bailey. “I’ve been playing a lot of different kinds of great music with a lot of different musicians on some of my more recent records,” says Stern, whose Big Neighborhood – released on Heads Up in 2009 – followed a similarly eclectic vibe. “I love bebop, swing, rock, all the stuff that a lot of guitar players – especially jazz players – tend to include in their music. It’s the nature of the instrument, but very much a part of my nature as well. There’s a lot of music that really inspires me, and it usually covers quite a few territories.” It’s all here, starting with the mysterious funk groove of the leadoff track, “AJ,” which Stern wrote specifically for contrabass guitarist Anthony Jackson. Other personnel on board for the opener are saxophonist Chris Potter, keyboardist Jim Beard, rhythm guitarist Leni Stern (Mike’s wife), drummer Keith Carlock and percussionist Tim Keiper. Leni returns a couple tracks later on “Out of the Blue,” this time playing an exotic three-stringed Malian instrument called a n’goni. Her opening riffs segue into the high-powered free-for-all featuring Brecker, Beard, Kennedy, Keiper and drummer Kim Thompson. A tempo changeup comes in the form of the much leaner and quieter “As Far As We Know,” featuring Spalding on bass and vocals. “I like drama,” says Stern. “I like a lot of dynamics. I like music that has a lot of heart, and I hope this priority comes through in my playing and in my writing, especially on this tune.” Stern is joined by drummer Al Foster on three engaging songs that land squarely in the center of the album: the funky and swinging “Blues for Al,” the energetic and colorful “OCD,” a song loaded with solo work by Stern and Garrett; and the much more understated and reflective acoustic piece, “You Never Told Me.” “Halfway Home” is a gritty blues piece that showcases Stern’s slide guitar chops and deftly juxtaposes them against Wooten’s funky bass work and Cordew’s relentless backbeat.The mellow groove of “Flipside” throws the spotlight on saxophonist Bob Malach, who joins Stern in some solid solo work. Malach is back for the title track, which closes the set on a fiery note as Stern leads a groove that’s reminiscent of his high-energy collaborations with the Brecker Brothers in the early ‘90s. “The guitar tends to keep you open-minded, because you hear it in so many places,” says Stern, listing many places he himself has ventured along the way – not just on All Over the Place, but in earlier work as well. “You hear it in rock, in country, in pop, in funk, in classical, you hear it in jazz, you hear it in so many kinds of music that you can immediately identify it on one level or another.” Stern is ready at a moment’s notice to go to all of these places and more, and he’s ready and willing to bring anyone along for the ride. “Music, to me, is a language of the heart,” he says. “I hope people will get some emotional payoff from what I’ve done on this recording. That’s the vibe that I continue to go for with a
Re: [Goanet] Bharatnatyam dancer heads to London, boxing for Kiwis
People need models, and seek models to bring change to their lives. Often the seeking is via observing others in the same social class. When Balasarasvati was dancing, there was not much interest in the form in the upper classes. My point is that people get comfortable when they see others are moving on. The problem with opportunities has to do with time and place, as with anything. But those nuances are often lost on people. India is India but opportunities, access, coaches are not always found close by or in the site of ones surrounding. Often its the coaches at sports facilities who notice that a given person is suitable for something that the individual, nor their parents ever thought about. Determination also has to a plethora of factors, ranging from seeing the range, between seeing no choice unless one makes the leap, to having to deal with watching the choices others could make. And later either celebrate others or rue oneself. (Hope this is not getting too much into the area of dignity). MC Mary Kom is a good example to know about. One thing that I have observed is that one has to have a thickish skin (many of us learn this very late), be willing to put up with sneers and taunts, and double speak. There is a dilution to the aforementioned or one may not have to deal with it if of the same social class, or cultiural set. It helps to be at the very least on a somewhat equal standing even to feel together in these schools. One also has to be comfortable in many situations in dealing with Gods from the culture in which a form is situated. This is also true in forms that I practice. I know a Mumbai Goan who decided to give up Bharatnatyam classes when she became aware of the arangetram and the costs that would be incurred. She was a sight to behold. Her Dad at that point was is no position to raise those funds. Infact part of the reason why she evn got some training was because the classes were being conducted in a parish school. + Appended from the post below. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/bharatnatyam-dancer-heads-to-london-boxing-for-kiwis/962982/ “She was at our institute for more than five years. She was an avid learner. We never knew she was into sports, forget boxing, forget Olympics. She was a shy girl,” said M R Krishnamurthy, head of Kalakshithi. But Siona says she was the sporty kind even when she was a regular at dance school. “I represented Goa and Karnataka in basketball at the junior level.” + I appreciate the point made about Siona being shy. Whether she was or not; it is helpful to be at least reserved. Likewise in language: the children of the most rabid Indian politicians at least in the metros go to English medium schools. Its could simply be to attain leverage and that no one should scorn. Perhaps they do better in English. I am not sure why they go English medium when on the surface it appears that their politics would be served better in the eyes of the poor if they studied in their mother tongue. Moving on: Rest assured that at the sabhas there will be discussion, small chats on whether one can contemplate their daughters taking a punch to the face. Or is it better that their daughters handle a football tackle. Moving on: As opportunities are observed: some will consider emigrating to other countries say for even for 15-20 years. These are the ones who can gain a lot at the same time have a lot in India, including the kind of respect they value. For sure these thoughts are running through minds, and perhaps equally in non-christian minds. Opportunities are sought by many, or thought of by many. Making the leap requires overcoming bodies of water, accepting with or without reticence many factors. Best.

Just nice to know how the parivarist got the gripes? BTW Mary Kom is not from Goa and not the only boxer in the contigent. BTW knowledge of Kannada and BN would not influence parivartan choice in Goa when the name is Siona. - Soter - Original Message - The man forgot to notice that she is an accomplished Bharatnatyam dancer, and that she studied at Kalakshiti in Bangalore. I wouldn't be surprised if she speaks fluent Kannada as well. Who would believe that a young girl who cared enough about her native culture to invest her time and energy in learning Bharatnatyam, was denationalized? But wait a minute, there is more. We read that the person who is representing India in woman's boxing is five times world champion Mary Kom from Manipur. Sorry for exploding another persecution fantasy. There is indeed is some truth to the notion that ideologues on opposite fringes create a reality that exists only for themselves and their counterparts. Cheers, Santosh

Message: 10 Selma>>> I was most impressed by your letter re instruction and learning. In your opinion and experience in these matters, which school would you recommend in Goa? I am looking for a school which emphasises learning with a liberal bent. Dear Selma, Per se, I wouldn't recommend any school in Goa for the objectives you have in mind. Most of the schools in Goa revolve round the Board they are affiliated to and getting through the exams is a be all and end all of the schools. The competition in pass percentages is fierce. Schools are not judged by the quality of student but rather by the pass percentage. In the 70's, there was a school in Calangute called "Happy Learners" which was started by a breakaway group of teachers from Don Bosco Calangute. Some of them were Adv. Jos Peter D'Souza, Alexyz Fernandes, Valentino (Dingo) D'Souza, Juliet D'Souza and others. This school was totally student oriented and the approach used was heuristic in nature i.e. the students learned by experimentation. The student learned what he or she wanted and when he or she wanted. Unfortunately, there were very few takers for a school of this type since the costs of running the institution were enormous in comparison to the amount of fees collected. Also there was a problem of certification. At some stage, these students would have to join the mainstream students and that is where they were disadvantaged since the school was not a recognized school. There is a serious group of parents who are doing home schooling for their children specially for some of those who are gifted and also for autistic children. I would recommend this approach.

[Goanet] How Bamons used and discarded catholics in Goa - Part 4
http://bharatmukti.blogspot.in/2012/06/how-bamons-used-and-discarded-catholics_19.html The question now arises as to when there are/were so many catholic MLAs in present and past Goa legislative Assemblies why none of them ever raised the question of proportionate representation to catholics on the lines of proportionate representation to SC and ST communities. It is natural to ask this question when you learn that some of the heavy weight politicians in Goa has been Catholics. What then on planet earth prevented them from raising the question of proportionate representation to the community from which they come from? What prevented catholic mulnivasi politicians, shudra politicians from raising the question of proportionate representation to catholic shudra community in Goa? Their silence on this matter led to the use and discard of Catholics by various governments in the past and BJP government currently in power is the latest instance of this. One can understand the studied silence on this matter by Catholic Bamon politicians for by birth they are not shudras and they are not expected to put their tongues to the job to further the advancement of shudras in Goa for bamons leave by using and discarding of Shudras. It does not matter whether they are Catholics or adhering to some other religion. Urge and cunningness to exploit and rule over shudras is their specialty. Let’s re-focus on our question as to why Catholic Shudra politicians in Goa Assembly never demanded proportionate representation/reservation to Catholics in Goa. Surely if they are genuine representatives of the catholic community then they ought to raise this issue on priority basis. The fact is that no community in India has genuine representative as their MLA or MP and present set up of our democracy does not carry possibility either. That’s why people who get elected and go in the state assemblies and parliament does not raise the genuine concerns of their communities when they speak out. That why India has 75% (83 crore people out of total 120 crore) of the population living under poverty line with daily income of less than Rs.20/-. They all vote in the elections and yet this state of affairs. If one has to become MLA then one needs to win the favour of the political party – BJP or Congress: both the brahmanical parties in india. Only when one finds the favour of the parties then the person get a Party ticket to contest elections. After that person contests elections, goes and meets up people to ask for votes and then gets elected to the office of an MLA. However after the elections he does not raise the genuine issues of the community such as proportionate representation. This is because the person has to remain faithful to the party that has accorded him the party ticket in the beginning to contest elections. Community has not granted him the ticket to contest elections. Community gave him votes only after he got the party ticket. Party ticket takes precedence over community vote. Community votes are useless without party ticket. So the MLA though going from the community becomes never representative of the community but representative of the Party that gave him the ticket. This is a system in place currently that thwarts the possibility of genuine community representative from getting elected. M.K.Gandhi created this system by putting his life in risk with his 21 day fast at Yeroda jail in Pune to force great Dr.Bhimrao Ambedkar into signing of Poona Pact on 24th September 1932. Community were disenfranchised and political parties were concentrated with power to give tickets. Political Parties are either overtly or covertly brahmincal in their orientation. Brahmanical orientation is always to use and discard mulnivasis. This is also the case of political parties in Goa – National parties and Regional parties alike. This Poona pact was applied to SC and ST community via article 330 and 332 of the Indian Constitution. OBC got this system dumped on them through Panchayati Raj Act that makes provision of reservation for OBC. Without discussions this Poona Pact is also applied to minorities such as Christians, Muslims, Sikh and remaining others. Dr. Ambedkar termed the people getting elected through this system as stooges, agents, dalals and bhadwas. This is the reason why catholic MLA in Goa never raises the issue of their community; forget about resigning as a minister in community interest. Current 40 members Goa Legislative Assembly has 14 Catholic MLAs spread in various political parties and independents. Few of them catholic bamons. Catholic community and Bhahujan samaj are both exploited and ruled over by bamons. What options for their community betterment remained in their hands? Community leadership that is compromising must be kicked out and new non-compromising leadership that is well versed with caste undercurrents must take over and join nationwide agitation under the banner of Bharat Muk

Besides that, whether I agree with what he says or not, I absolutely enjoyed the simplicity and ease with which he was able to communicate. The same, If I may say so, is how I feel about Digambar Kamat. These two gentlemen are a pleasure to listen to. To these fine gentlemen, I say: Thank You Sirs, for that pleasure. On the other hand, we have Fr. Mousinho. He too is (from what I understand) a very learned man. NOW listen to him speak and ask yourself this question: IS THIS How Mousinho spoke to his mother and/or vice-versa? And WHICH Konkani (or even Kokni) Primary School did Mousinho attend? I must say this, and some of you might disagree with me, BUT here is a general position I would take with Priests: a: You are good at performing the ceremony of Marriage BUT please do NOT decide the mechanical method of contraception married couples should or should NOT use. And Yes, The Rhythm method with all its modifications is best described as Porcaria. I believe that Priests would be able to advise on the use of mechanical contraception, when they have successfully guided their own marital life through the maze of intense family life. b: You are good at building schools and providing educational and sports opportunities for children BUT, please do NOT try to decide what Parents should do with regards to finding better ECONOMIC avenues for their children..(does not apply to Commie Countries) And NO . These children will NOT join the seminary and become priests just because they wont find be able to find any jobs (with their Kokni) besides being Cooks and Butlers. (NOT that any form of work or vocation including being a Cook, Butler or Priests is any lesser in stature than any other) I believe that Priests would be able to advise on the future of others' children, when they have successfully guided their own children through the maze of intense competition. BTW: That recent priestly foray into politics (which effectively denied a woman candidate the opportunity to serve) is best left without comment. The people of that constituency spoke in NO uncertain terms and gave that Political-Priest a nice little "No Thank You" and "Don't call again unless we call you". jc 1: Parrikar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5CJWgmT6Uk&feature=youtube_gdata 2: Mousinho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2mL72gatd4&feature=relmfu
