At this point the Portuguese police shifted Roque Santana from Margao Hospicio to Ribandar Military hospital for better treatment. After this the Portuguese were reluctant to use deadly force This incident is the main reason why Prime Minister Nehru planned to invaded Goa dispite US objection.

[Goanet] Parikar and an unprofessional Shekar Gupta
In his partial agreement with my comment, Jose Colaco said: Mr Shekar Gupta, when you ask a question of a person, please allow the person to respond. It was a pain to listen to you interrupt Mr. Parrikar in mid-sentence. Dr. Barad is right. You came across in this interview as an arrogant and unprofessional bully. You are fortunate that our CM did not walk out on you. The unprofessionalism of Shekar Gupta can be further seen in the editorial that he wrote on the interview. The editorial is enclosed. Clearly, Shekar seems to be desperate to find out someone who he thinks supports his view so as to put Narendra Modi on the mat. It does not matter to him whether his views are right or wrong. Best regards, U. G. Barad. Yes, 2002 Editorial, The Indian Express, June 20, 2013 Source: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/yes-2002/1132225/0 Parrikar's willingness to revisit Gujarat 2002 could be the beginning of a much delayed conversation Manohar Parikar's remarks on Narendra Modi's role in Gujarat 2002 must be seen in the context of a very long silence. While Gujarat 2002 has been one of the most shameful and most publicised events in recent political history, all through the last 11 years, Modi has steadfastly refused to talk about or answer questions on the alleged complicity of his government in the communal violence. Now the Goa chief minister's willingness to engage with the questions of 2002, in howsoever limited a manner, in the course of an interview on NDTV's Walk the Talk programme, reported in this paper, is significant. Parrikar is not just a BJP leader. In a party deeply divided over Modi's rise, the chief minister, who courted and won an inclusive mandate in his own state, has firmly cast himself in the role of a Modi supporter. It was Parrikar who, at the BJP's national executive in Goa, visibly lobbied for Modi's promotion as chief of the election campaign committee. When he says, therefore, that the post-Godhra riots in Gujarat were a clear-cut case of administrative failure and a bad example of governance, it could even be decoded as a sign that Modi's silence on 2002 may no longer be as unyielding as it has been. Of course, Parrikar's comments on 2002 were not open-ended. They can be read as a defence of Modi. In the same interview, he went on to say that Modi may not have had that kind of grip on the administration (then) as he has now. It is also significant that even this limited engagement with 2002, after all these years, comes from a Modi supporter not from Modi. And that, with general elections round the corner, its timing is politically canny. Yet, with all its incompleteness and holding back, Parrikar's intervention could mark the broaching of a long delayed conversation. In the countdown to 2014, Gujarat 2002 has returned as a political faultline. Nitish Kumar's walkout from the NDA, pointing to Modi's promotion in the BJP, has placed the issue centrestage. For all of Modi's own determination to change the subject, and to promote himself as a man of development, as the party's national campaign chief he may find it more difficult to evade the questions he has turned his back on as chief minister of Gujarat. Parrikar's comments may only be a tactical acknowledgement of that reality. But for the BJP and for Modi, they also offer an opening for a fuller, more honest confrontation with a past that will not go away.

[Goanet] Bombay City. Stray Thoughts of a Toronto Goan by Roland Francis.
Bombay city grew on you, while you lived in it. By Roland Francis Source: Goan Voice UK Daily Newsletter 23 June 2013 at www.goanvoice.org.uk Many readers have written of their curiosity about period India since they were born and raised overseas and have little knowledge of it described from personal experience. So here I have repeated one of my 2008 essays, updated and abridged for this column. Ask even anyone who has lived in the city for more than a couple of years and you will detect grudging admiration for the place. To the outsider the closeness that the Bombayite (Bomoicar to the Goan) had for his town was always a source of amazement. They see an overcrowded city, with apartments the size of matchboxes that routinely housed not only the family but all visiting relatives and friends and fellow-villagers from Goa who needed to come to the metropolis for jobs, higher education, wedding shopping, medical treatment or a dozen other reasons why people needed to come to India's premier city. Bombay was the place to be. There were exciting soccer matches on Cooperage Grounds that no sporting Goan would miss. There were the English cinema houses which played God Save the Queen followed by Jana Gana Mana. Before the credits rolled at the end, the audience would melt into bhel puri holes-in-the-wall and if in MGM's Metro at Dhobi Talao, like homing pigeons towards an Aunty's hooch joint. There were several, even more numerous than Goa's legal taverns. If you had a full wallet (no plastic or other credit then) off you went to the Harbor Bar or the Rendez-Vous at the Taj where the cocktail mixes were as exotic as the names. The academic world of Bombay was of very high caliber and very low cost, reputation built on the intelligence, knowledge and a flair for teaching of Goan teachers and professors. People from all over including neighboring countries came to the city to get an education and use it in their developing countries. Even today in Toronto, I meet Africans, Arabs and Iranians who will tell me of their college days when they discover I am from Bombay, Bombay and Calcutta were once Asia's Hollywood, Broadway, New Orleans and Memphis jazz and blues centers rolled into one, dominated by Goan musicians. The scene was well described by Naresh Fernandes in his book The Taj Mahal Foxtrot. Whether you were classically or stage inclined Bombay was a treat for you. On the weekends Goans retreated to Bhangwadi and St. Mary's Hall where tiatrs went full house to cat-calls, wolf-whistles and boos. That was the era of the Goan village social, the wedding receptions that knew no midnight curfew and the grand dances at Byculla Mechanics, the Catholic and Bandra Gymkhanas and the Railway Institutes - Goan and Anglo-Indian strongholds in their full glory when Christmas and New Year celebrations in Goa were unheard of. Cavel, Dabul, Dhobitalao and Girgaum at saints' feasts were one endless celebration on street and in home. Bootleg of course was everywhere. The Bhaiyya brought milk, the Kohli woman fish, fruits and vegetables. The Bania sold groceries and every vendor shortchanged on weight. The Muslim granddad made delectable roadside kebabs of suspect meat and tasty faloodas whose ingredients you were better off not knowing. The Goan sold bread and liquor and no one questioned the combination. Your faith was never an issue though everybody knew which religion you professed. The Hindus, Muslims, Parsees, Jains, Sikhs, Jews - all were a religious melting pot resulting in a brotherhood of man. The Goans who would not miss their mangoes, fish and feni during summer in Goa, came scurrying back at the first sign of rains. Corruption was the exception rather than the norm. If you were tempted to break the law, Anglo Indian and Goan police superintendents and other senior officers served to remind them, but they did it with heart, known to look the other way when a poor Aunty had no option but to sell booze to support a drunkard husband and many children. Now low-rise neighborliness is replaced by skyscrapers that discourage friendliness. The rich became richer and the poor poorer. The Hindus are incited to hate the Muslims, the Muslims the police, and the idlers and ne'er do gooders everybody else since they are told by their leaders that they own Bombay. The only love now is between criminals and the politicians in a nefarious love-hate embrace. But of that age, no one who lived in Bombay will forget.

[Goanet] Popatlal and Isabel
Popatlal is an Indian from Goa. By all appearances, he looks and sounds like a normal run-of-the-mill guy. But there is something that is not right about him. When he speaks or writes about himself, things don’t add up. Perhaps, he is completely bald under his toupe. Perhaps, he is a woman trapped inside the body of a man – a woman called Isabel. Why do I say this? Because I have caught him hiding in her skirt. Cheers, Santosh

Churchill resolves to lead anti-Mopa drive June 23, 2013 TEAM HERALD http://www.oheraldo.in/News/Main%20Page%20News/Churchill-resolves-to-lead-anti-Mopa-drive/76030.html Goa Su-Raj Party believes that the fight against MOPA must be leaderless. Leaders have made U-Turns after they got what they wanted and have taken the gullible supporters for jolly good rides. The need of the hour is that MOPA must be fought at all levels, tooth and nail, politically, apolitically and at citizens of Goa level, because, MOPA is going to be the back-door-merger of Goa into Maharashtra and Goa's Civilian Airport at Dabolim will be gobbled by the Navy, which, by the way, is the primary instigator for MOPA. Churchill Alemao is not saying anything new. Even a lay Goan knows that once MOPA comes up and is operational, the Navy will shut all Civilian flights at Dabolim. And who is going to question that? There will be thousand and one excuses given by the Navy to justify the closure of Civilian fights at Dabolim. Besides, the MOPA operators will be hand in in gloves with the Navy so that MOPA becomes the sole Civilian airport of Goa. When this happens, none of the present rulers will probably be around and therefore MOPA Airport will be the milling stone around the necks of Goans. MOPA must be stopped at all costs. Therefore, every Goan fighting for this sole purpose is important and vital without a single-headed leader, for obvious reasons. Churchill Alemao's record on MOPA is highly unsatisfactory while the record of consistency of the UGDP is highly questionable. If not, GSRP would like the answers from the UGDP on their candidate having withdrawn from the bye-election race in the Cortalim Assembly Constituency in 2012 where Ms. Alina Saldanha was elected unopposed. By all means let Churchill Alemao lead the fight with his supporters. By all means, let the UGDP be the follower of the limp Congress led by Churchill Alemao, since Churchill Alemao is still in the Congress Camp. But let it not confuse the people of Goa with insinuations that Fr. Eremito is the agent of the BJP. The people of Goa are no fools to be sidelined. Let everyone contribute towards solidifying the fight in their own ways until the MOPA abomination is dropped to the satisfaction of all. But one thing is sure. Goa's ANTI MOPA fight must be GOA'S fight and not the fight of Churchill Alemao or Fr. Eremito Rebello or whoever. For, Goans cannot afford to lose this Anti MOPA fight. It is, again, vital to Goa's survival. They surely will, if they allow themselves to be DIVIDED by self-centered forced fighting in the name of Goa and Goans. floriano lobo General Secretary GSRP 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org PPS: PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL SANITY PS: If the people refuse to become politically 'SANE', politics will remain dirty + more.

[Goanet] Goans should oppose the MOPA land scam
If one supports MOPA, that means they support the following: 1. The MOPA land scam, supported by both political parties who will make a lot of illegal money in the various transactions. 2. The effective merger of Goa into Maharashtra. 3. A continued increase of migrants in Goa to work on illegal projects (mega-projects, MOPA, etc.). 4. The Navy's illegal land grab at Dabolim, including using eminent domain to confiscate Goan land to build private Naval facilities like swimming pools and private parking, etc. while depriving native Goans of their ancestral land. Also an influx of naval officers to retire in Goa. 5. The end of civilian flights at Dabolim. 6. Further big increases in Goa's land prices making it unaffordable for Goans to buy land while illegal money from Mumbai and Delhi is whitewashed by migrants in Goa. How much were the experts bribed to lie about their conclusions that MOPA is good for Goa? George
Re: [Goanet] Parikar and an unprofessional Shekar Gupta
My own impression of this interview is that Mr. Gupta was not tough enough on Mr. Parrikar. The question should have been whether Modi was culpable in the killing of 2000 innocent human beings or not, by an act of commission or omission? That is the only question that matters in respect of Modi, in my opinion. The answer in my opinion is yes. My guess is that Parrikar would have refused to answer that question.

Re: [Goanet] Goans should oppose the MOPA land scam
Friends, Is it not time that we launch a serious agitation for: MAKA NAKA MOPA MAKA ZAI FOKOT DABOLIM? An all out, no holds barred agitation on the lines of our past successes. the Opinion Poll the Konkni Agitation. It should spell out, once for all, unequivocally the final solution to finally settle the vaccuous...forever uncertain status that has hung over Goa since the Indian conquest and the ongoing treatment of Goa Goans the vanquished by the usurping conquerors. I may have grown a bit decrepit...but, there is plenty of fight left to give, as freely as has always been done. The severe marks I bear from Prabhakar Sinari other Azad Gomantak Dal metal tipped lathis that I bear, albeit sometimes quite painfully, are reminders of proud past encounters for Goan Honour, begining with the fight to prvent closure of HERALDO (alas...not much success there) and throughout since then will surely spurr me on this time too.

The MOPA land scam, supported by both political parties who will make a lot of illegal money in the various transactions. 2. The effective merger of Goa into Maharashtra. 3. A continued increase of migrants in Goa to work on illegal projects (mega-projects, MOPA, etc.). 4. The Navy's illegal land grab at Dabolim, including using eminent domain to confiscate Goan land to build private Naval facilities like swimming pools and private parking, etc. while depriving native Goans of their ancestral land. Also an influx of naval officers to retire in Goa. 5. The end of civilian flights at Dabolim. 6. Further big increases in Goa's land prices making it unaffordable for Goans to buy land while illegal money from Mumbai and Delhi is whitewashed by migrants in Goa. How much were the experts bribed to lie about their conclusions that MOPA is good for Goa? George RESPONSE: I fully endorse George Pinto's views! Besides; I’d say that the ones who support MOPA, they support the corrupt, the arrogator, the appropriator, the traitors, and the opportunists; who they identify themselves with.

[Goanet] Parikar and an unprofessional Shekar Gupta
In reply to Marshall's 4th response, should I say, 'If the Congress leadership were to dig into the BJP's role in fomenting the 2002 Gujarat pogrom, there is no doubt the BJP would retaliate by clamoring for an inquiry into the Congress Party's own culpability in the 1984 anti-Sikh massacre.' Under such situations, I've no other choice than to say, 'the law presumes all innocent of crime(s) until proven guilty!' This I'm forced to say because in cases: 1984 anti-Sikh massacre and 2002 Gujarat pogrom, Indian judiciary has not reached to final conclusion!! If above lines don't answer your 'Ifs Buts', let me say, 'the two principal parties in the world's most populous democracy that is India might have a secret understanding to bury each other's foul communal crimes!' And their presumed understandings have left us (me and you included!) play a funny game called: oppose/support; criticize/commend; accuse/counter accuse; and other such time-pass games.' Lastly Marshal, I think, your responses 1 to 3 are answered by Jose Colaco, because, the first Para (I used in my message) was a quote from Jose Colaco's response to me! Best regards, U. G. Barad On Sun, 23 Jun 2013 Marshall Mendonza mmendonz...@gmail.com wrote: U. G. Barad.: In his partial agreement with my comment, Jose Colaco said: 'Mr Shekar Gupta, when you ask a question of a person, please allow the person to respond. It was a pain to listen to you interrupt Mr. Parrikar in mid-sentence. Dr. Barad is right. You came across in this interview as an arrogant and unprofessional bully. You are fortunate that our CM did not walk out on you. The unprofessionalism of Shekar Gupta can be further seen in the editorial that he wrote on the interview. The editorial is enclosed. Clearly, Shekar seems to be desperate to find out someone who he thinks supports his view so as to put Narendra Modi on the mat. It does not matter to him whether his views are right or wrong. Response: 1. One needs to view the entire interview instead of just a 2-3 minutes clipping before jumping to any hasty conclusions. Here is the entire interview: http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/walk-the-talk/walk-the-talk-with-manohar-pa rrikar-part-i/280253 2. Shekhar Gupta is one of the most balanced, fair, and incisive journalist in India and widely respected for his views. 3. Shekhar Gupta conducted a fairly good interview where he tried to pin down Parrikar who tried to run with the hares while hunting with the hounds by calling the Gujarat pogrom an administrative failure while trying to give Narendra Modi a clean chit. 4. What is Dr Barad's view on the Gujarat 2002 pogrom. Does he accept that Narendra Modi is innocent? Does he condone the violence and subsequent hijacking of justice? Regards, Marshall
Re: [Goanet] For kind favour of publication
floriano lobo wrote: Goa Su-Raj Party believes that the fight against MOPA must be leaderless. -snip- MOPA must be stopped at all costs. Therefore, every Goan fighting for this sole purpose is important and vital without a single-headed leader, for obvious reasons. Floriano, If I am reading this correctly, you want a fight that should be leaderless and you also want a fight that has a multiple-headed leader. All this to combat a 21st century airport? Mervyn
