Re: [Goanet] Please help
First go to Margao and find a place where you get the Portuguese documents translated into both English and Konkani - Portuguese translators and then once you get the nos that are on the documents go to the Survey Office, Margao which is the same building where the Drivers licences, Scooters etc. are renewed, new drivers etc. This building is opposite the new Fish Market in Margao. In this building you have the Sub Registrar's Office, State Bank of India and a whole lot of offices.I dont remember the name of the building. This building is next to an open ground where many trade shows,exhibitions take place - next to Katamba bus stop but before you reach Katamba bus stop- 5 mins from Katamba.Not far from the Colva, Fatorpa, Margao, Panjim roundabout. Hope this helps. --- On Fri, 9/21/12, valley faleiro wrote: From: valley faleiro Subject: [Goanet] Please help To: "goa news" Received: Friday, September 21, 2012, 12:57 AM Dear Readers, I have a property in Salcete and the documents are in Portuguese .

That's who. The Indian Govt makes it perfectly clear that Constitution of India forbids dual citizenship or dual nationality, except for minors where the second nationality was involuntarily acquired. The Indian Govt also makes it perfectly clear that the Overseas Citizenship of India does not amount to dual citizenship or dual nationality. Secondly, any Indian citizen who acquires citizenship of another country immediately ceases to be a citizen of India. Other countries, Tanzania for example, recognises a person as a citizen until the person formally renounces his/her citizenship. Mervyn
[Goanet] Nuclear power
In an interview, available at: http://www.rediff.com/news/interview/interview-loved-by-his-peers-yet-wanted -in-350-cases/20120919.htm Udaykumar, who is leading the fight against the nuclear power plant at Kundakulam, had the following to say: Q.: But once the plant starts functioning, it will be very difficult to stop it. A.: You cannot stop it temporarily, but you can de-commission it and stop it permanently. Q.: Now that 99 per cent of the work is complete, to what end is your struggle continuing? A.: It is not too late. Even now they can change the plant to a gas-powered or a thermal plant. We are not saying demolish and throw it into the sea, we are saying we do not want nuclear power. Q.: A thermal plant is much more polluting than a nuclear plant. A.: That is true, but the waste will not be around for 48,000 years, which is the case with Uranium. The thermal plant will be polluting, but we do need electricity. We have never told them to abandon the plant. All we ask is abandon nuclear power. I thought the members on this list would be interested. Best regards, U. G. Barad

Dear Aires, A Press Statement is being sent out from the office of the GOA SU-RAJ PARTY applauding your efforts through RTI to obtain sensitive information in connection with the Laadly Laxmi Scam ( and not a Scheme) as reported in the GT WEEKENDER. The Laadly Laxmi scheme is a vote-bank scheme and was intended to be such from it's inception. To add vinegar to the wound's of right thinking people of Goa, our Laadla CM has gone on the TV to be kissed by a child to perpetuate the fraud.

President of the United States of America, President Richar Nixon, who was involved in the WATERGATE scandal, one of the first scandals that rocked the world where for the first time an American President was impeached and resigned from office. But let me quote the First American President who said the following: You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Re: [Goanet] Allen de Sa holds dual citizenship: Mickky
It is a little known fact that all Goans born in Goa prior to 19 Dec 1961, are de-facto Portuguese citizens, and their citizenship has not been "lost" as a result of Indians forcing their citizenship on to Goans. Those Goans, except those who were then in Govt service and forced to revoke their nationality (which is why many of them left Goa, except for Pe. Chico Monteiro), are still passive Portuguese citizens. Allen de Sa was my contemporary at Dhempe's, therefore he would be one of those Goans born prior to 19 Dec 1961, and consequently, still a de-facto Portuguese citizen. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think enrolment in Govt service means a revoking of Portuguese nationality, unless he specifically signed a document to that effect.

Re: [Goanet] Seminar on Portuguese citizenship (Response to Roland Francis )
"Roland Francis" who wrote about the 'CONCEALMENT of EU passports' added the following: " And therein lies the answer to JC's contention in his latest post that Indian businessmen cannot go to Europe on an EU passport and return on an ' INDIAN ONE." (CAPS mine) COMMENT: Whatever Roland means by the term 'INDIAN ONE', it certainly could not mean 'INDIAN PASSPORT'. - unless of course, the suggestion is that OCIs are issued Indian Passports. That, AFAIK, is not true. jc

[Goanet] Soccer on Sunday
I was intrigued by the enclosed item. I wonder what is the stand of the Roman Catholic Church on the subject. Best regards, U. G. Barad Church diktat bans soccer on Sundays for Mizo youth Author: TNN Publication: The Times of India Date: September 21, 2012 URL: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Church-diktat-bans-soccer-on-Sunday s-for-Mizo-youth/articleshow/16483875.cms Youth of Christian-dominated Mizoram are at a crossroads between passion and religion. The dilemma follows a recent appeal on a ban on playing football on Sundays by the Synod, the highest decision-making body of the powerful Mizoram Presbyterian Church. A statement signed by Synod moderator Rev Thangzauva and Synod secretary "Upa" (elder) DP Biakkhuma says, "The Presbyterian Church Synod appeals to all people of Mizoram to refrain from any sporting activities on Sundays as Mizoram is a Christian state and Sunday is a sacred and important day for Christians." It, however, expressed happiness over the success of Mizo youth in sports. The statement added, "The church appeals to all people to respect our sacred day." Jonathan L Hnamte, a member of the Seventh Day Adventists Church, criticized the statement of the Presbyterian Church saying it clearly exposes the apathetic attitude of Mizoram's biggest church towards other Christian denominations. "Members of the Seventh Day Adventists and also some other denominations, observe Saturday as the Sabbath just like the Catholics, the Presbyterians and the Baptists observe Sunday as the holy day," said Hnamte. He added that they had tolerated people playing football or other games near their places of worship on Sabbath, while having church service, for years. He said the Presbyterian Church was powerful enough to dictate terms to the state government. Accusing its leaders of acting like religious bigots, he added that issuing restrictions to the people of Mizoram revealed their arrogant attitude. He said liquor was prohibited since the past 15 years as successive governments could not defy the church's "appeal" despite the state losing revenue.
[Goanet] Award to Agarwal of Sesa Goa
I thought members on this list would be interested in this item. Best regards, U. G. Barad Anil Agarwal is ET's Business Leader of Year The Times of India, September 19, 2012 This year, the roll of honor stretches quite literally from copper to cheese, from internet access to investment banking. The jury for The Economic Times Awards for Corporate Excellence 2012 met this week in Mumbai to anoint the winners of India's biggest, most-anticipated business awards. The Business Leader Award for the year 2012 goes to Anil Agarwal, chairman, Vedanta Resources. A true rags-to-riches success story, Agarwal started out as a trader of scrap metals, and today runs a global natural resources conglomerate, which successfully completed a major acquisition - that of Cairn India - during the last year. The Company of the Year for 2012 goes to HDFC Bank, India's most valuable bank by market capitalization, a milestone that it achieved this year. Jubilant Foodworks, the jury's choice for the Emerging Company of the Year, has set a scorching benchmark of 50% growth in the quick-service restaurant industry, after one of the most successful IPOs in recent years. From a long list of innovators in different fields, the jury picked Devi Prasad Shetty, the founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya and its pioneering model of low-cost, high-volume healthcare. Shetty, who plans to add 30,000 beds to his chain of hospitals in India and abroad, has also collaborated with the Karnataka government to design the world's cheapest health insurance scheme, which currently covers over four million people in the state. The Global Indian of the Year for 2012 is Anshu Jain, the co-CEO of Deutsche Bank. Among the few foreigners who have headed a major European bank, Jain exemplifies what this category of ET Awards is about: to honour an Indian who has excelled against competition in a global environment. From bringing telephony to the masses in the 1980s to his new challenge of creating a nationwide broadband backbone, Sam Pitroda, who won the Policy Change Agent Award, has worked towards the dream of democratizing information. This year's Corporate Citizen of the Year Award has a new mandate: to celebrate a large company that has made significant progress on social, environmental and governance challenges. The Aditya Birla Group, the 2012 winner, has pursued sustainable economic independence, put in place a "triple bottomline accountability", represented by economic success, environmental responsibility and social commitment, which it hopes will integrate the interests of all stakeholders into the core DNA of the group. The final award, Lifetime Achievement, goes to a man who didn't work until the age of 32. Fifty years later, P R S Oberoi, chairman, East India Hotels, is still very much in the driver's seat, fending off takeover threats and leading an expansion plan for the hotel group that he has transformed, taking it so far upscale that it needed a term that was new to the hotel trade to describe it: "super deluxe". The jury for the ET Awards 2012 was chaired by Deepak Parekh, chairman of HDFC. The other members included K V Kamath, chairman emeritus, ICICI Bank and chairman, Infosys Technologies; Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman, Aditya Birla Group; A M Naik, chairman & managing director, Larsen & Toubro; Chanda Kochhar, managing director & CEO, ICICI Bank; Kris Gopalakrishnan, executive co-chairman, Infosys; and Cyril Shroff, managing partner, Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co.
