The alarm bells were ringing for long. The intensity has increased and reached its peak. Wilred Leisure has opened the floodgates of what is forecasted to be a tsunami. Wilred’s pulling out from the ten-team Goa Professional League (GPL), which is due to start in August, is one of the first major setback for the new Executive Committee of Goa Football Association (GFA), which took charge on July 27.

[Goanet] Link: BBC College of Journalism website now open to international audience
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/blogcollegeofjournalism/posts/Welcome-Our-website-is-now-open-to-the-world http://www.bbc.co.uk/academy/journalism When the BBC College of Journalism website was first launched it was designed for and aimed at a purely internal BBC audience. The College wanted to support its programme of formal training by encouraging some of the best journalists in the newsroom to share their knowledge and experience with as many colleagues as possible. So we asked BBC News’s finest to make short films or write pieces that gave other BBC journalists key insights into how they did their journalism - in order to help their peers improve their work and skillset. It soon became obvious that the quality of the content on the site, from journalists like Allan Little, Evan Davies and Nick Robinson, deserved a wider audience. So while the editorial focus remained clearly on BBC journalism and how our journalists did their jobs, we opened the site up first to a UK audience, then to an international one. --- Bonus Links: In other news.

[Goanet] [JudeSundayReflections] Nineteenth Sunday of the Year
3-Aug-2014 Dear Friend, Everyone of us has preconceived notions of God. Yes, we do believe in God, but which God do we believe in? Sometimes there is the danger that we create our God in our own image and likeness. We do want God to come into our lives but on our own terms and conditions. We want to encounter Him but want to set up the place and manner of the encounter. If we let God have his way in our lives, we will encounter Him in the most surprising of places. Have a worshipping God-filled weekend! Fr. Jude Sunday Ref: Nineteenth Sunday - Why did you doubt? It is I! Do not be afraid 10-Aug-2014 Readings: Kings 19: 9, 11-13; Rom.9: 1-5; Mt. 14: 22-33; Today's first reading speaks of Elijah's encounter with God. Elijah had destroyed all the false prophets and Queen Jezebel was now plotting to murder him. In fear Elijah fled and hid in a cave. There he apparently expected further extraordinary revelations of God in the strong and heavy wind, then in an earthquake and then in fire, but the Lord was not in any of these powerful phenomena. Elijah did meet God in the gentle wind that blew across the cave. God did not come in the way Elijah expected him, he did not come in an unusual way, but as a God of small things! God always comes and passes by in the daily events of life, but we fail to discern his presence and acknowledge Him. A faith journey He was fifteen years at the time. He and his father were driving past a tiny airport in a small town in Ohio. Suddenly a low-flying plane spun out of control and nose-dived into the runway. The boy yelled, Dad! Stop the Car! Minutes later the boy was pulling the pilot out of the plane. It was a twenty-four year old student flyer, who had been practicing take-offs and landings. The young man died in the boy's arms. It was a traumatic thing, for the boy knew the man who had died. When he got home he cried, Mom, he was my friend! He was only twenty! He went to his room, closed the door, and in the silence and darkness lay on his bed wondering where God was. The boy had been working part-time in a drug-store, saving every penny and spending his savings on flying lessons. His goal was to get his pilot's licence when he turned sixteen. The boy's parents wondered what effect the tragedy would have on their son. Would he stop taking lessons, or would he continue. They agreed that the decision would have to be his. Going to his room his mother saw an open notebook that her son kept from childhood. Just scanning the page, the mother noticed that in her son's hour of decision he was turning to Jesus for guidance. She was happy for that and asked her son what he had decided. The boy looked at his mother and said, Mom, I hope you and Dad will understand but with God's help, I must continue to fly! The boy was like Elijah. He had to shut down the noise, the wind, the earthquake, the fire and turn to the quiet solitude of his room where he heard the still whispering of Jesus. Like Elijah who was tempted to give up prophesying, the lad was tempted to give up his dream. But like Elijah, he didn't. And so on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human being to walk on the moon. Few people who watched that historical event on television knew that one of the reasons that he was walking on the moon was Jesus. They did not know that it was from Jesus that he drew strength and guidance to make a crucial teenage decision which was now responsible for this historic feat. The spiritual journey is always perilous. Only with Jesus can we make that journey successfully. William Bausch in 'The Word -In and Out of Season' In today's Gospel we are reminded that it was Jesus who sent the disciples on their journey when they encountered the storm. Sometimes while we are busy doing what God wants us to do, doing our duty, doing the right thing, we will encounter disturbances that will threaten us and frighten us. Even when He does come the disciples do not recognise Him! But it does not matter, his reassuring words are Be Not afraid! It is I! It is said that in the Bible we have the words 'Be not afraid' three hundred and sixty five times! One for each day of the year! We are frightened people and God comes to remove fear from our lives. The more we believe the less we will fear. Fear and worry are an insult to God. In so many words we are saying: I am not sure whether You are taking care of me and so I am worried about this and fearful of that! The Gospel also tells us that Peter boldly asks Jesus to let him come across the water and on Jesus' encouragement Peter walks over the waters! We too can do wonderful and extraordinary things with the power of God. But Peter who was bold at one moment is afraid as he looks at the waves and starts sinking till the Lord reaches out and gives him a helping hand. Jesus comes especially when we are faced with the storms of life! Be not afraid! Look Up! In the early

We are missing Matanhy at this juncture and that his wife Alina could have taken his promises to Goans to fight for a SPECIAL STATUS but GOD had his own plans as we lost our dear Matanhy. Alina Saldanha will ever submit her resignation or she will say it is unfortunate or disappointed? Being a women when all the women say that they are equal to men , but about Alina will ever say that, she is afraid to go ahead with the plans of her husband . She should resign from her post as Minister as promised. I feel that she cares for her post and position. Will she ever take the Goan crowd to the streets to achieve our goal? I do not think. Alina, this is the time to show her guts and her promise she made that she will resign if BJP does not give us as Special Status. If she wanted any reason to leave the BJP, this is the best reason to get out from the Ministry. We have to wait and see what decision she makes by tomorrow. If not she has to forget that she will be elected once again. Matanhy was my best friend from his school time until he became Leader of the Masses.

[Goanet] Marina n Manuela
Hi Gabe ! Thanx for sending us down memory lane - for as a young teenager, I was fortunate to witness some great acts at the Circus Brazil show in Dar es Salaam , Tanzania in the early sixties.( I am assuming that they must have been on a tour of Africa , including Kenya as you stated). The flip side of the Extended Play (ep) 45 rpm Vinyl record was the very romantic Italian ballad- Manuela which to some fans was a better number than the ever-popular Marina by Rocco Granata which was introduced at the Show. I say this as the flip side of most Eps are basically fill -ins.. However, Gabe if your memory allows, the trapeze artist and one of the most popular artistes was a gorgeous woman called Manuela.. I believe, she later married her trapeze partner. As usual, the lyrics were laced with nostalgia. Cheers. Tony Barros. Union, New Jersey. USA

This year in Feb I visited Goa and was appalled that the Kadamba rulers left such pitiful buses for its subjects. The ancestors of terrorists want a good name, would it not have been better if they had vouched for a proper transport system bearing the name of their propaganda? BC Combining known history and Mr.Venkatesh Upadyaya: Kama Deva (1260-1310) was the son of Lakshmi Deva II the ruler of the Ratta Dynasty of Saundatti/Belgaum and was the son-in-Law of Goa Kadamba King Tribhuvanamalla (1216-1238) and brother-in-Law of Shasthadeva III (1246-1260).
[Goanet] The last Kadamba King
The Last Kadamba King From: MD mmdme...@gmail.com In 1347 Purandararaya fled from the invading army of Vichana, the commander of Yadava king Singhana II and secretly traveled over night to join his daughter who herself took shelter in safer Jayakeshi Velimpura compound in 1345 when her husband was assassinated by Mohammedans at present day Chandor. Purandara Raya Deva died there in A.D.1368 and was cremated at Velimpura. Comment from GL: Excellent article with a lot of details. Is it safe to assume that after 1368, Goa became permanent Muslim territory till the Portuguese arrival in 1510? I was under the impression that Goa-rule shifted back and forth from Hindu to Muslim a couple of times. Please clarify with dates. Thanks in anticipation Regards, GL
[Goanet] THE CM IS BUSY SNARFING FROM THE GOLDEN PLATE
After not having cared to yet visit the 14th January 2013 Vasco 7 year old rape victim, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar‘s recent offer to share a food plate with an HIV-positive child is a mere theatrical rhetoric and an extremely cheap publicity stunt that will fool no one. That he is extremely busy hogging and merrily feasting from that 35,000 crore illegal mining booty besides the Casino windfall is another matter. While on the issue of HIV, should not Manohar Parrikar have been a role model to dissuade youth from venturing to wrong places. But does it not send a wrong message having himself been spotted at the infamous “Walking Street” at Pattaya in Thailand along with his side kick the flamboyant Atmaram Nadkarni? Manohar Parrikar has publicly clarified that his visit to that red-light district renowned for its brothels was not to have sex but that he merely enjoyed two Thai massages. It is hard to believe someone who is known to be habituated in not speaking the truth. And why would someone go all the way to Thailand for a Thai massage when it is available at Spas across Goa. It defies all logic especially coming from someone who claims to be a brainy IITian besides a genius in Economics.

[Goanet] UK - Goan Cattle Market 2014
Hi all Greetings and a Happy Day to you. “We human beings are what we have been for millions of years – colossally greedy, envious, aggressive, jealous, anxious and despairing, with occasional flashes of joy and affection.” (quoted from page 7 in the book Freedom from the Known by J. Krishnamurti ISBN No. 978-1-8460-4213-3). Living in England since 1974 I am aware of the scams and fiddles that go on in the country, there is not a day when the sound of a police car with sirens wailing cannot be heard. I write this article as one of the first engineers working with the pioneers of the Goan Association UK who burnt the midnight oil to have our first ever event in 1985, on our freehold clubhouse and 6.5 acres of land, all with voluntary labour and to a very high standard at a time when technology and communication was not instant. The initial criteria was to create a facility for a bi-annual gathering under one sky for our people to meet and greet as one family, through our village and other Goan organisations. The main aim was to showcase our Goa, its culture and heritage, through stalls, music, food and dance which all helped to create a Goan ambience for folks to come happy and go home even happier. This also brought in revenue to cover expenditure and was not a drain on people’s wallets. What we appear to have had on 27 July 2014 at Cranford is akin to a cattle market followed by Dario de Regoyos y Valdes (a bullfight in a country town) where people having been fleeced let off steam hence the need for high security. Under the umbrella of SCOGO (Standing Committee of Goan Organisations), where all our organisations met under one round table to formulate a programme, the first few years was very successful with a set of standards by both organisers, patrons attending and exhibitors including cultural events displayed with pride from our various local bands and groups that had to be squeezed in within time limits before sunset. These events needed minimal security staff and no food hygiene inspectors turned up nor was there any other involvement with the police or other authorities. Any issues arising on the day were sorted out on site by competent personnel. When SCOGO was dismantled, the event became known at The Goan Festival falling victim to its own success ripened to be hijacked. From my observations of T shirts worn on 27 July 2014 at Cranford instead of Goan Festival 2014 they show “Goa Day” (not to be confused with World Goa Day which is on 19/20 August) there is no visible accountability other than the name of Goan Association UK as an insurance policy. Has the Goan Festival suffered a premature death to facilitate creative accounting? Has there been a “name change”? Are the people responsible able to tell us by 19/20 August World Goa Day? I am told the Goan Association UK is the richest amongst our community organisations around the world. However the poverty displayed to our community is very visible. In Breadline Britain this event also acts like a magnet to collect money with sob stories in the name of charity and welfare taking advantage of UK government concessions for the benefit of all, here again I have seen little or no accountability. For reasons unknown to me, I have had a blizzard of enquiries asking where the money collected at this event is going? Kindly direct this question to the organisers of this event and if you have no response or are not satisfied with the response, there is always an opportunity to take this up with the appropriate statutory authorities. After all it is your money and our community at stake. I have already asked time and again the very same question providing management representing our community an opportunity to share this with us on the goanet but to date there has been no response so we are all none the wiser! Incidentally, these very same questions are being asked by fellow Goykars on the Niz Goykar website, please see link below: http://www.nizgoenkar.org/newsDetails.php?id=9046 No response from the elected management of Goan Association UK (just like the cybernet police in Goa) I feel is irresponsible and reflects on our community as a whole. As a teenager I grew up with elder Goykars who could be trusted with keys to the safe. I have reservations as to whether you can trust the Goan of today with the safe itself. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank Menino de Valpoi and his camera crew for bringing us superb coverage of this event, kudos especially for capturing the moment of the arrival of the three hygiene inspectors (at minute 10.17 of 57.34) from the local authority during Holy Mass praising the Lord. The inspectors dazzled the crowd with their brilliant white gear (a good advertisement and potential sponsor for Daz washing up powder maybe for the next new name Goan Carnival!). At first I thought they were tiartrists in

[Goanet] WRD must extend the time limit for registration of wells in South Goa says GOACAN
- Do GOACAN a favour, circulate this email to your family members, relatives, neighbours and friends. Help other CONSUMERS to be better informed. --- GOACAN calls on WRD to extend the time limit for registration of wells in South Goa -- GOACAN has called for the extension of the time limit for the registration of wells in the South Goa District by a minimum of 60 days in view of the non availability of the application forms in the respective Taluka Headquarters and to avoid putting the general public to hardship. In letters to the Mamlatdars of Canacona, Sanguem, Quepem, Dharbandora, Mormugao and Ponda Talukas, GOACAN has sought their intervention so that the WRD makes arrangements to supply applications forms at the respective Taluka Headquarters as well as to receive the completed registration forms. It may be noted that the Water Resources Department Govt. of Goa through its Executive Engineer Works Div. XIII and Ground Water Officer (South Goa) had issued a Public Notice No. WRD / WDXIII / GR / F.90 / 380 / 2014-15 dated 21.7.2014 through an Advertisement in all the major Newspapers on 23rd July 2014 with regards to the registration of Wells and Tankers. The Ground Water Officer (South) by the Public Notice has informed the residents of the Canacona, Sanguem, Quepem, Dharbandora, Mormugao and Ponda Talukas that they need to visit the office of the Asst. Engineer, Sub-Div I IV WD XIII, WRD at Gogol, Margao to collect the prescribed application form to undertake the registration. The WRD Notice also states that registration must be undertaken within 15 days time and the completed applications again have to be submitted to the same office in Gogol, Margao. GOACAN is surprised that in a time and age wherein other Departments of the Govt. of Goa have co-ordinated with the respective Mamlatdar offices to provide various forms, the Water Resources Dept has again chosen to create hardships for the residents of South Goa District by making them travel to Margao just to obtain these forms. Moreover although the application form is available on the website http://www.goawrd.gov.in/ of the Water Resources Department, the Ground Water Officer (South Goa) has neither mentioned the same in the Public Notice nor provided a Telephone No. or email id for residents to seek clarifications. Earlier in October 2012 the Water Resources Department had issued a similar Public Notice dated 28.9.12 ref. No. WRD/WDII/ADM/F207/ 2012-2013 through its Executive Engineer, Works Division II Ground Water Officer, (South Goa) as an advertisement in various newspapers making residents travel to Margao to collect the application forms. Copies of the letter to the Mamlatdars have been sent to the respective Deputy Collectors and the District Collector for information and necessary action. ---

Follow the example of the former Union Home Minister, Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde who handed over the possesion of his Bungalow in Delhi within three days of his losing the parliamentary elections. It is rather unfortunate that the former Mumbai Police Commissioner has clung to his official residence since the last 22 years thus depriving other Police Officers posted in that region the use of the premises. We do not know why the Home Minister and Home Department of Maharashtra allowed such state of affairs when the former Police Commissioner for some years was not even posted in Mumbai. What is disgusting is and we understand that he has asked for an extension giving reasons for his children when he has another apartment in Mumbai which has been rented out. Moreso, he has resigned from the Police force to pursue his political career and currently elected as an MP. The former Police Commissioner must learn from the example of the former Union Home Minister Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde also from Maharashtra. Setting a public example within three days of his losing the lost the parliamentary elections in Solapur, he handed over the possession of his sprawling bungalow. While we wish him all good luck in his new career , Shri Satyapal Singh should follow the example of Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde and vacate the premises without any delay. The Government should not extend the use of the premises anymore. Warm regards, Dolphy D'souza Convenor

[Goanet] Goa's heritage under threat: The ongoing museum scandal
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Goa/Goas-heritage-under-threat-The-ongoing-museum-scandal/articleshow/39445523.cms This column is repeatedly compelled to point out no part of India treats its own artistic and cultural legacy more disgracefully than Goa. It's an ongoing problem lasting generations: this remarkable space produces wave after wave of artists and artisans of global significance, but they are rebuffed and ignored at home, with the biggest loser remaining the Goans. Thus serene abstractionist Vasudeo Gaitonde will have his first-ever retrospective in New York's Guggenheim later this year, while remaining largely unknown in his beloved homeland. Thus the best collection of world-renowned Indo-Portuguese furniture is displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London not in Goa. From Trindade to da Cruz to Fonseca to Gaitonde and Souza, each towering great of 20th century art sought to endow Panaji with a corpus of paintings for the benefit of future generations, and each retreated after being rejected. The sad truth is they were right not to trust Goa. Their precious artworks are obviously better off in London or New York or Delhi, because criminal neglect and willful ignorance continues to hold sway back home. The latest scandalous outrage came earlier this week with the announcement that Goa's government seeks bids from private agencies for safekeeping of 10,000 artifacts on a lease basis for two years to entrust the safe storage of the state's heritage legacy to private godown owners. Though this disgraceful, ridiculous scheme still has no takers, its very existence underlines this administration's abdication of responsibility for Goa's peerless cultural heritage. This leadership will expend weeks debating bikinis, but not a single voice is raised when the most crucial, defining artifacts from thousands of years of civilization in Goa face an active, perilous threat from the same irresponsible authorities tasked with their custodianship. Instead of doing the vital job on hand, there is instead only the same old mania for scam infrastructure-building which means contracts for cronies. Saligao-born Francis Newton Souza is widely considered the most significant modern Indian artist. He founded the Progressive Artists Movement (along with fellow-Goan, Gaitonde), mentored other all-time greats like Husain, Ara and Raza, and his work now sells for millions of dollars. Souza tried repeatedly to set up a permanent museum of his works in Goa, but found no cooperation. The fact the existing museum has a single, small work by this great artist is due the selflessness of Dom Martin (artist and long-time defender of Goa's heritage), who is justifiably shocked and dismayed by this administration's absurd go-down idea. There is a colossal ravine between the purpose and function of a museum and that of a godown says Martin, it is truly unprecedented that the state museum would solicit the services of the owner of a godown or other such facility, and officially collaborate with same into acting as the interim curator of the museum's historical assets! Martin points to the suitability of the vast, expensively renovated and climate-controlled Old Secretariat/Palacio Idalcao for this purpose, especially since utilization as a museum and gallery space has been delayed for more than three years due to inter-departmental bickering or whatever. If in fact this administration is hell-bent on pushing through contracts to rebuild the Patto facility, there is no doubt that this option is the least disastrous. There was a time when Goa had some ready-made excuses for its shabby treatment of its artistic and cultural heritage: this was a small state in a poor country where necessary human resources and expertise were scarce But all that has dramatically changed, and this administration has no such excuses for its irresponsibility. But instead of following the examples of so many first-rate institutions that have come up in the past decade, this government seems intent on opaque schemes that indulge its tender-mania. While it dithers with disastrous consequences for Goa's heritage, the Lisbon-based Fundacao Oriente has opened a lovely little museum in its Fontainhas premises to celebrate Antonio Trindade's paintings and the UK-based Helen Hamlyn Trust has renovated the Reis Magos Fort into a stunning jewel for cultural activities. Over in Mumbai, the once-moribund Prince of Wales Museum is humming with terrific new ideas and activity, while the once-derelict Bhau Daji Lad museum space now glitters perhaps the finest and most-innovative museum space in South Asia. But Goa?with every possible advantage?continues to go nowhere, the only state in the world blithely trying to tender its responsibilities to its own priceless, irreplaceable heritage. The judgment of future generations is sure to be extremely harsh on this administration's fatuous, frivolous schemes and criminal scandals that have now

Santosh Helekar: The Indian courts like courts in other countries have tried to do exactly that. In doing so they and all genuinely secular thinkers have recognized that people commit crimes and atrocities, not because they belong to any particular religion or lack thereof, but because they are fundamentally immoral and abusive. They have a criminal mind, or a mind altered by substance abuse or serious mental illness. Response: I trust the above view and description also includes those who defend / justify the rapes, brutal killings and destruction of religious places of worship and property of innocent people.Would you agree? After all, the foot-soldiers and the lumpen elements who carry out the dastardly deeds are motivated and encouraged by the ideologues who inspire them to carry out the deeds and thereafter help to whitewash, obfuscate and trivialise the incidents so that they can escape punishment.

Dear Siyona, the destruction was the work of individual colonialists. Many were not ethnic Indians, they were originally marauders from Uzbeg country and beyond. Sadly, religion can be used to rouse the rabble. The Moghul Empire spawned satraps who were generals with their own ambitions, becoming nawabs and Nizams. Remember, Gaekwad/Bhonsle/Holkar made conquests deep into India, beyond the Maratta homeland. If religion mattered, Muslims would not have savaged each other in Syria and Iraq. eric.

Mrs Melsa Vaz Monteriro, the last encounter Born on 20-3-1936 to late parents Joaquim V. MonteiroMaria vaz Monteiro and passed away peacefully on03/8/2014 and was interred on 4/8/2014 at Saviour of the World Church , Loutolim.The funeral services were presided over by Archbishop Emeritus Rev.Dr Raul Gonsalves,Ex Secretary, DSE Fr Avinash Rebello, Fr Tony Salema and 12 other priest, nuns, Heads of Institutes, and galaxy of mourners. Fr Savio lauded her qualities of responsibilities, dedication and her spiritual dimensions .Fr Avinash too sincerely attributed much of the success of DSE to her contributions. My association, as a colleague and teacher dates back to her presence at Mount Marys high School Chinchinim. She had interesting anecdotes and experiences to relate from Junagad in Gujerat. Her sincerity, commitment as a teacher was beyond question. She loved teaching the subject of Geography in Higher classes. She was creative in her interesting presentations that delighted the students The exhibits in Geography at the school exhibition came in for much praise and appreciation. Besides being actively and un officially involved in administrative affairs, her grasp over the language and her spiritual interests made her indispensable , admirable as the member of the staff., When she left for health reasons, she had cultivated lasting bonds of friendship Her appointment as the ASSTT Secretary, of DSE was motivated by late Canon Rev, Antimo Gomes. She was a dedicated, devoted, systematic, responsible, reliable and friendly employee that left her imprints on the working and the systems of administration of DSE. Hence there is much truth in Fr Avinash honest statement as aforesaid mentioned .The position provided her an opportunity for self realisation and she was rightly proud of the satisfaction she derived, participating in deliberations, seminars and that in spite of inadequate monetary compensation. Her simplicity, demeanour, understanding approach and attitudes, co-operative and non-controversial behaviour won her friends all over in DSE among its employees When she demitted responsibilities at DSE, she was actively engaged in varied social activities and groups and very much wanted for qualities of heart and soul The last encounter was at the farewell private function of Teacher Thelma Gracias, at Club Harmonia, Margao towards the end of Feb 2014. She was a star attraction and cynosure of all eyes. A group of 100 Heads of Institutes and teachers almost encircled her exchanging pleasantries, recalling past memories. Her presence at the function brought much delight and joy for all those present who knew her at close contact. She was happy to address all those present Thelma in particular. That was the last encounter to be , though I spoke on the phone a little later sharing institution of memorial prize to Rev .Canon Antimo and I politely declined her intention to contribute too. Most wonderful monument of memory that can ever be built is to live in friends thoughts, mins, prayers and hearts, that is where Melsa will reside. How true that a thousand words won`t bring her back, whether we tried or cried .Like many others she came into our life and etched her footprints, which words cannot express Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Click here to Reply or Forward
[Goanet] Aires Rodrigues Esquire v Manohar Parrikar CM
One of which went into the recent black hole. Sent from Samsung Mobile Original message From: roland.francis roland.fran...@ymail.com Date: 08-01-2014 10:04 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! goanet@lists.goanet.org Subject: Aires Rodrigues Esquire v Manohar Parrikar CM Aires Rodrigues, Goanet member and vocal legal activist has conducted several campaigns directly blaming Manohar Parrikar as head of government, for several wrongs of commission and omission. I don't know how successful he has been or whether he has made even a slight dent with these màtters but this much I know: he is going to have even less success in the future if a recent GOI case is anything to go by. In the public mind, the authority of last resort, going by the Constitution, is the Supreme Court of the country. But in the latest case before it, the Court has pleaded helplessness in deference to the Government in the case to which I refer below. GOI asked the court to fast-track criminal cases of pending charges against Members of Parliament. Simply put, the Chief Justice denied the request saying that fast tracking should not be exclusive to MPs but to other categories of cases as well. He observed that long delay of cases was a poor reflection of democracy in India (methinks that was stating the obvious). However, he also commented that there would have to be a change of administrative procedures and the need of placing a lot of related infrastructure in the smaller jurisdictions of the justice system in rural India. So much, so far, is true. But here's the kicker. Instead of requiring the Government to complete the task by a certain period within the parameters set by the court (as for example ordering that criminal cases should be brought before the courts within 3 years), the CJI instead pleaded helplessness to order the govt to do this due to the enormousness of the task and the availability of resources. This is a laughing matter since it encourages the Government of the day to just ignore or dance around the intentions of the courts as has been happening very often lately in the country. Now they have a formal remark of India's Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to support their inaction. Now tell me what chance Aires has against the CM even in a case where the courts have ruled in the former's favor. Is my interpretation of the situation correct in assuming that succour from the Indian justice system is merely 'touch and go', or do the courts in India really hold sway in correcting government wrongs and injustices.

Re: [Goanet] Goa's heritage under threat: The ongoing museum scandal
It is indeed disgraceful that the people and governments of Goa have no interest in their long history and tradition. The few who do, other than one or two genuine lovers of our diverse culture like Dom Martin, are focused only on their religion or personal biases, such as an extremely short-sighted version of our very recent history. Storing the precious wealth of Goan antiquity in a godown? What a joke! Cheers, Santosh On Monday, August 4, 2014 11:15 AM, V M vmin...@gmail.com wrote: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Goa/Goas-heritage-under-threat-The-ongoing-museum-scandal/articleshow/39445523.cms This column is repeatedly compelled to point out no part of India treats its own artistic and cultural legacy more disgracefully than Goa. It's an ongoing problem lasting generations: this remarkable space produces wave after wave of artists and artisans of global significance, but they are rebuffed and ignored at home, with the biggest loser remaining the Goans. Thus serene abstractionist Vasudeo Gaitonde will have his first-ever retrospective in New York's Guggenheim later this year, while remaining largely unknown in his beloved homeland. Thus the best collection of world-renowned Indo-Portuguese furniture is displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London not in Goa. From Trindade to da Cruz to Fonseca to Gaitonde and Souza, each towering great of 20th century art sought to endow Panaji with a corpus of paintings for the benefit of future generations, and each retreated after being rejected. The sad truth is they were right not to trust Goa. Their precious artworks are obviously better off in London or New York or Delhi, because criminal neglect and willful ignorance continues to hold sway back home. The latest scandalous outrage came earlier this week with the announcement that Goa's government seeks bids from private agencies for safekeeping of 10,000 artifacts on a lease basis for two years to entrust the safe storage of the state's heritage legacy to private godown owners. Though this disgraceful, ridiculous scheme still has no takers, its very existence underlines this administration's abdication of responsibility for Goa's peerless cultural heritage. This leadership will expend weeks debating bikinis, but not a single voice is raised when the most crucial, defining artifacts from thousands of years of civilization in Goa face an active, perilous threat from the same irresponsible authorities tasked with their custodianship. Instead of doing the vital job on hand, there is instead only the same old mania for scam infrastructure-building which means contracts for cronies. Saligao-born Francis Newton Souza is widely considered the most significant modern Indian artist. He founded the Progressive Artists Movement (along with fellow-Goan, Gaitonde), mentored other all-time greats like Husain, Ara and Raza, and his work now sells for millions of dollars. Souza tried repeatedly to set up a permanent museum of his works in Goa, but found no cooperation. The fact the existing museum has a single, small work by this great artist is due the selflessness of Dom Martin (artist and long-time defender of Goa's heritage), who is justifiably shocked and dismayed by this administration's absurd go-down idea. There is a colossal ravine between the purpose and function of a museum and that of a godown says Martin, it is truly unprecedented that the state museum would solicit the services of the owner of a godown or other such facility, and officially collaborate with same into acting as the interim curator of the museum's historical assets! Martin points to the suitability of the vast, expensively renovated and climate-controlled Old Secretariat/Palacio Idalcao for this purpose, especially since utilization as a museum and gallery space has been delayed for more than three years due to inter-departmental bickering or whatever. If in fact this administration is hell-bent on pushing through contracts to rebuild the Patto facility, there is no doubt that this option is the least disastrous. There was a time when Goa had some ready-made excuses for its shabby treatment of its artistic and cultural heritage: this was a small state in a poor country where necessary human resources and expertise were scarce But all that has dramatically changed, and this administration has no such excuses for its irresponsibility. But instead of following the examples of so many first-rate institutions that have come up in the past decade, this government seems intent on opaque schemes that indulge its tender-mania. While it dithers with disastrous consequences for Goa's heritage, the Lisbon-based Fundacao Oriente has opened a lovely little museum in its Fontainhas premises to celebrate Antonio Trindade's paintings and the UK-based Helen Hamlyn Trust has renovated the Reis Magos Fort into a stunning jewel for cultural activities.
[Goanet] Goans and World War I
Today is a hundred years since WWI broke out. It was supposed to be the Great War, the war to end all wars with 10 million soldiers dead, but it didn't. Only twenty one years later, there was another world war. WWI was a horrific global battle with armories of tanks, planes and heavy machine guns used for the first time, along with steel-plated steam monsters sailing the ocean filling ports with dread. Soldiers suffered grievious wounds in battle from mechanical tactics and weapons never before used and for which the opposing sides were totally unprepared. Penicillin was not yet discovered and wounds festered in a manner unimaginable today. The best the wounded could count on was some limited morphine if at all. Britain's colonials were liberally used as cannon fodder on the front. Sixty five thousand Indian soldiers died and so did a similar number of Canadians. At the height of the war about 1.3 million Indian troops were engaged, the avarage soldier earning 11 rupees a month. The Indian forces were liberally funded by super rich maharajas.The Nizam of Hyderabad for example, paid for a whole squadron of air force planes for which he was presented with a downed German fighter plane. The Indian soldier's loyalty to the British king rather than to India was so fierce that when a postcard of King George was distributed to them to write on and send home, it was counted as the best gift they could ever receive and kept aside as a they would a medal. Do readers know of the involvement of any Goans in this war? Clifford D'Souza British historian, spoke on the subject at the Heritage Project conclusion in London but he would have probably included only the East African Goan role. The Commissioner of Bombay did exhort the Goan community in Bombay, substantial even in those days, to form a Lusitanian unit, but there is no information on what came of it. I am sure some Goan Kings Commissioned Officers as well as non com ranks in the British Indian Army would have seen action in the European, Middle East as well as Far Eastern theatres. Valmiki Faleiro's book on gallant and eminent Goan armed forces personnel would have mentioned this. Portugal entered the war midway in 1916 after Germany declared war on it. Portugal had a treaty with Great Britain since 1386 and were pressured to join, German ships caused blockades and harassment of Portuguese shipping and there were German threats to Portuguese possessions in Africa. Of Portuguese colonies, only Angola, Cabinda (then a separate colony) and Mozambique entered the war. Goa had no occasion to be dragged in except to provide supplies and a transit port to the mother country's war shipping. Excluding the African colonies, only 8,000 Portuguese soldiers lost their lives in the war. I would appreciate for historical perspective, information of any Goan connection with this Great War.

Re: [Goanet] Fwd: ARE WE CHRISTIANS OR HINDUS IN INDIA SECULAR COUNTRY
I tried to look to see if any secular court or any genuinely secular thinker has tried to scapegoat private citizens belonging to any religion or creed as defenders or supporters of rapists, murderers, rioters, terrorists, child molesters, homophobes, religious extremists, maoists, secessionists, etc. I also tried to see if any court or secular thinker has sided with a prejudiced opinion on an internet forum.

Long live liberation. From the Portuguese and from the preservation of Goan heritage, record-keeping, artifacts, paintings and cultural icons. Goan history is now going to be confined with storage of furniture, jaggery gunnies, chilli powder sacks and what have you. At least the bandicoots will have a field day, not unlike their human counterparts who tear off entire pages from ledger records rather than get a transcript of what they were looking for.

[Goanet] Margao garbage collection a threat to Safety and security.
From: drferdina...@hotmail.com To: goa...@goanet.org Subject: Margao garbage collection Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2014 07:15:43 +0530 The Margão Municipality has a couple of days back started the door to door garbage collection. Two municipal migrant workers go to houses and flats in the city to collect the garbage. They enter buildings in the city and have a free right to access by the blessings of the Municipality. They have no uniforms that they can be identified, and knock residential doors in the mornings. This exercise is an intrusion into the privacy of the residents and also a compromise of their safety and security. In time, these migrants will know the movements of residents of each and every flat/house. Besides, residents go for work, children to school, and mostly some maid or elderly member of family is at home during working hours, and opening doors during these hours is a risk to life and property. Any criminal too can take advantage of the situation and claim to be collecting garbage. And it is also to be noted that most of these migrant Municipal workers are paan/tobacco chewing individuals and spit anywhere along staircase walls, etc. defacing private property. I request the Municipality to stop this door to door stupid and birdbrained idea as they are not only trespassing into private area, but also compromising the safety and security of the residents. And that is illegal! Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão

At the very least we need attempt to think along the lines of Haskalah, the Jewish Enlightenment movement. vjp On Mon, Aug 4, 2014 at 12:51 PM, roland.francis roland.fran...@ymail.com wrote: Long live liberation. From the Portuguese and from the preservation of Goan heritage, record-keeping, artifacts, paintings and cultural icons. Goan history is now going to be confined with storage of furniture, jaggery gunnies, chilli powder sacks and what have you. At least the bandicoots will have a field day, not unlike their human counterparts who tear off entire pages from ledger records rather than get a transcript of what they were looking for. Why bother doing the right thing? Roland.
