Re: [Goanet] Freedom Fighters

[Vivian A. DSouza]

Hear tell that 90 percent of so-called Freedom Fighters are fake.  All they 
care for is the free pension.  Since the Portuguese were driven out 52 years 
ago, the current crop of so-called Freedom Fighters were tiny tots at the 
time.  The "real" Freedom Fighters would be Octogenerians or Nonogenerians 
if still alive.

RESPONSE: Some links with info:

TIFF (2012: $189 million)

Caribana (2009: $396 million)

Pride Week (2009: $136 million):
http://www.citynews.ca/2009/10/18/toronto-to-host-world-pride-in-2014/

By 2013, these numbers should have gone up by at least 50%. Makes the local
GDP numbers look good.

[Goanet] Goa and Goans

[Antonio Menezes]

Goans started migrating to Bombay and other parts of India  from 1800s, to
East
Africa in the late 1800s, to ships roaming the seven seas , say, from 1900s
and to
to the Gulf Region  in the 1970s.
And in the 21st century  they are still inclined  to settle down in Western
Europe,
U.S.A., Canada and Australia.
Now , if the way of life  until 1961 and thereafter was truly beautiful and
sophisticated
in our glorious Goa , how come they insist of leaving their motherland to
the whims of
migrants from India ?

RESPONSE: While Stephen Dias gives us a citizen's view from ground zero
(Goa), I do not believe he made a compelling case in this instance. Here it
is again:

Stephen Dias' ARGUMENT: Why at all IFFI is required for Goans

PREMISE #1:  we do not have water to drink , and the roads are in a
dilapidated condition.

PREMISE #2: The illumination done for the IFFI festival on the Miramar
-Panjim road is a an wash to fool the delegates

CONCLUSION: GOANS DO NOT NEED IFFI or IFFI NEEDS TO BE ABANDONED FROM NEXT
YEAR ONWARDS

--- End of message ---

Extrapolating, I doubt Stephen Dias is of the view that India should not
have sent several missions to Antartica from Goa or should not have
launched the Mars Orbiter (Mangalyaan) because all Indians "do not have
water to drink , and the roads are in a dilapidated condition".

Nevertheless, thank you Stephen Dias illustrating the facts in your
environs in Dona Paula.

[Goanet] GOANET: Dual Citizenship for Goans says : Stephen Dias, D.Paula

[Stephen Dias]

Dear Readers of Goanet:

On the issue that Portuguese privileges afforded to Goans on basis of
their birth, before conquest of Goa on 19th December, 1961 should
remain and automatically flow to them and their descendents.

Laws are made to benefit people and not people are made to benefit a
law.  Therefore bad laws which damage the interest of the people must
be struck down and discarded, just as what the Ministry of Home
Affairs (MHA) has done to Goans by accusing Goans as Portuguese
national and thus seeking to accuse and possibly punish them by
denying them their birth rights of both Portuguese as well as Indian
citizenship. Portuguese citizenship is earned by Goans by principle of
natural justice system, which arising out of been born in Portuguese
India that is Goa. And the Indian citizenship is earned by us on the
basis of our domicile and serving the Indian nation from December,
1961 to date.

No Court of India, can step in and take away the privileges bestowed
upon us because the Indian Constitution was born much after many of us
were born, as in my case been born in August 1944. Hence, since the
Indian Constitution came later to my birth and Goa’s conquest came
later my rights being born during the Portuguese regime must be
protected by us Goans fighting for our rights.

Netaji Subash Chandra Bose said gives me blood and I will give
freedom. So I plead upon Goans to fight for their Dual Citizenship
rights and give blood if possible to acquire justice for themselves
and generation to come.

Although we know fully well that treaty was signed in  India on 31st
December , 1974 between Y.B. Chavan  on behalf of  Govt of India and
Mario Soares Minister for External Affairs for the Govt of Portugal
which was ratified in Lisbon on 3rd June 1975.  This should not be
applicable to us.

Stephen Dias, D.Paula

Gabe,
It takes me 17 minutes to drive the 15 miles to work during rush hour. Parking 
is $20 till 6.00 pm. If you are a minute late, the machine adds another $10 to 
the parking bill. The drive home takes 90 minutes. On the other hand, Toronto 
transit does all the driving, charges me $5.30 for the return trip and I get to 
read the newspapers both ways. 

Toronto transit is also one of the safest places to be. Tipsy teenage girls 
ride the TTC home after mid-night and no one will even attempt to take 
advantage of them. It helps that every bus has four or five camera's on it.

A great city will have a great transport system. The current Mayor of Toronto 
is going to cost this city a fortune in the future. He is making some absolute 
blunders and had the city council not made him an eunuch, transit in Toronto 
would be in gridlock in a short time.

the LSE that are worth having a look at?
