[Goanet] Don’t drag Savarkar in naming controversy
Don’t drag Savarkar in naming controversy Whether or not one should name Institutions in the State after prominent Goans is another issue which is worth pondering. But one can’t deny that Vinayak Savarkar happens to be a great literary figure cum revolutionary freedom fighter from India of which Goa is a part of. It is strange that NCP Leaders should ask, “Who is Veer Savarkar?”, considering the NCP’s main base is in Maharashtra where Savarkar is a giant in literary circles. These NCP leaders should brush their knowledge of history. Savarkar was a poet, novelist, writer, playwright, historian and a revolutionary freedom fighter who sacrificed a lot for India. As children, we grew up learning lessons of his bravery in our history. For his revolutionary methods, the British sentenced him to 50 years of imprisonment in Andaman’s Cellular Jail where he was made to undergo rigorous solitary confinement for several months, standing handcuffs and hell like torture (released with limited freedoms after serving 13 torturous years in prison). But his spirit never died. In Cellular prison, he composed and wrote poetries on prison walls with thorns and pebbles when the British were merciless and even denied him pen and paper. His poems like Sagara pran talmalala (O Great Sea, My Heart Aches for the Motherland), Jayostute (written in praise of freedom) are very inspiring and demonstrate the kind of love he had for his motherland. Savarkar is credited with writing more than 10,000 pages in the Marathi language and our PM recently released two albums of poems composed by him. He wrote also in Hindi, Urdu and few other languages. "Kamala", "Mazi Janmathep" (My Life Sentence), and 1857 - The First War of Independence, which the British referred to as the "Sepoy Mutiny", are few of his other popular literary works. Large part of his literature is dedicated to mother India, the land he deeply loved. To inspire Indians to love and respect their motherland, he wrote few chapters on the golden period of Indian history which are epic. One could agree or disagree with the political methods or ideology adopted by Savarkar during his later years but it would be wrong to discredit him or ask provocative questions like “who is he?”. Savarkar is a monumental personality in every true sense and there is so much one can write about him. He was an agnostic, a reformist, a patriot, and had a lot of other inspiring qualities which one can endlessly list. A forward thinking Indian who fought caste orthodoxy with a lot of ruthlessness. A humanist and one of the first Indian political leaders to build a pan-Hindu temple where a former 'untouchable' was a priest. A Nationalist who exhorted India to make atomic bombs and believed it was ridiculous and irrational to follow astrology when Russians and Americans were striving to land on Moon and Mars. A rationalist who refused to consider cow as holy and chose to call it only a very useful animal. An environmentalist who considered cremation in electric crematoriums more clean and efficient (eco-friendly in modern terms). For all the sacrifices he made, India popularly refers to him as ‘Swatantryaveer’ Savarkar, or simply Veer. If NCP leaders want Goan Landmarks to be named after prominent Goans, then it is an issue worth considering and debating. But why bring Savarkar at the heart of this debate? We have an Auditorium in Ponda named after Rajiv Gandhi and a Football stadium at Fatorda after Jawaharlal Nehru. Likewise, various other roads, institutions and other landmarks have been named on the basis of political considerations. Why is the NCP silent about these names? Let a uniform policy be applied while giving names to our institutions and landmarks. We should welcome such an initiative. But creating a division by raking up an issue for political motives is wrong and unfair to those who have sacrificed a lot for the Nation. NCP leaders can make their point but it would be more appropriate if they show proper respect to our freedom fighters which will serve the cause of National integration better.

[Goanet] Restoration of paintings and frames skills come to Goa
The London School of Picture and Frame Restoration has for almost twenty years been one of the top institutions in the United Kingdom, training conservators to restore paintings on canvas and on wood support as well as restoring frames. The College Principal, Caterina Goodhart, trained in Florence (Italy) before moving to the UK, has more than thirty years’ experience. On a trip to Goa in early 2015 she was moved by the artworks in the churches that she decided to return and to share her knowledge and experience, in order that a new generation of conservators can grow and develop in Goa. And she proposed to begin her work with the Portrait Gallery of the Archbishops of Goa, which is in need of restoration, as some of the portraits date back to the 16th century. Supported by the Archbishop of Goa and by the Museum of Christian Art, Old Goa, this project will initially run for five weeks, at Archbishop’s House, Altinho, Panjim, beginning on the 15th of January, 2016. During this time, would-be conservators will receive an introduction to conservation equivalent to a first year diploma, learn the basic principles of cleaning, patching, relining, colour matching and varnishing, and do practical work on actual paintings and frames, with close tuition. The course is aimed chiefly at men or women of all ages who are interested in the possibility of starting a new career in the field and thus ensure a legacy in conservation skills in Goa. Spaces are limited to not more than 8 students. No prior skills are required and there are no teaching fees. However, if the students, at the end of the course, are found to be eligible for a City & Guilds of London Institute qualification and certificate, fees will apply. Interested individuals may inquire at dcscm...@gmail.com or call telephone numbers 2433618 or 9822181790. Restorers and conservators in Goa are also welcome to make contact with Ms. Goodhart at dcscm...@gmail.com or i...@pictureconservation.com
[Goanet] Goanet] : LESSONS THAT GOANS MUST LEARN
- -- -INTERESTING QUESTIONS OF THIS WEEK-- FROM HERALD WHICH I READ EARLY MORNING ON LINE BEFORE OTHER PAPERS, I GET MYSELF PREOCCUPIED DIGESTING CERTAIN IMPORTANT TOPICS WHICH THE EDITOR MAKES IT-- >From THE Editorial " BHAI PARRIKAR'S BHAIGUIRI IS CLEARLY EVIDENT IN GOA GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONING"- Comments: It is true that Bhai Raj is day by day increasing in this state, and many people calls them 'Bhai' to get their work done and that they are been successful. For Parrikar is probably an exception that he was always known as BHAI:. Now since he is out of Goa as Defence Minister the Bhai word in BJP circle is diminishing. The Editor has forgotten to mention another word which is mostly used especially by Catholics that is " BAB" This is an another expression of showing love to someone else, although people utter this work just to show off, that they are friends in ages. For ladies this word is seldom used but they say "BHAI-ghe" or " Bhaie" as a sort of another closeness to the individual.-For "ghantis" coming mostly from other states who are of lower casts people call them as " Bhaiyya" and earlier times during Portuguese regime we used to call these people especially who are working at docks at MPT Marmagoa as "BOYAS"-. Second point which I noticed that the Editor has emphasized in his Editorial column is Parsekar looks at " COMMUNAL HARMONY' in the state.- Comments: Parsekar does not have to be educated how people in Goa can come together and gets the unity back which is lost during BJP regime. He wants people to give suggestions and may be he can implement them, so that in the next forthcoming elections he will surely have a slot to win the elections. No doubt it is a clever move but first of all, has he aware that some outfit from a Hindutava group coming to this state and disorient Goans to get disharmony among the minorities group and the Church in particular? Another most important group is RSS which is dominating the whole country and are now trying to penetrate in this state and decentralize its unity which was there in Goa among Hindus, Muslims and Catholics. And the third point which I noticed , there are some activists/lawyers who like to become famous by hook and crook and show that they are doing good work for the state even they do not mind damaging prestige of their colleagues or friends for ulterior motives. I feel pity for Remo although he committed big mistakes but people will not forgive him even if he has to surrender passport, his election card, Padmashree award, and even his car purchased during that period of acquiring foreign nationality. He has no God fathers left now, who will help him, at this crucial moment but he should at least attend and behave well hereafter what is being instructed by the Judiciary or Police or anybody else.

[Goanet] THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW CATCHES UP WITH REMO FERNANDES
Embroiled himself in the child abuse case and with his wings now clipped by the Goa Children’s Court, the beleaguered Pop Star Remo Fernandes couldn’t fly to the Sabarmati festival this week to receive the Samarpit award. To add to his woes he is likely to be stripped of the Padmashree award he deceitfully received in 2007 at the hands of the President of India. The law is finally catching up with arrogance and egotism. Jai ho.

[Goanet] Jallikatu, tradition in Tamilnadu
JALLIKATU, THE TRADITON IN TAMIL NADU The SC has permitted this sport with a rider and certain conditions to prevent cruelty to animals. The coming of elections is an incentive to revive this popular sport and is welcomed by the C.M as fulfillment of a popular need. It is being argued that it is a particular species of violent bull that is a choice. The argument is that the bull is intoxicated, pierced, starved, subjected to various other inhuman methods to goad it into a fierce movement of action, Visuals of the sport, it is seen that enthusiastic participants try to subdue it by catching it by horns, pulling the tail of a terribly frightened bull, What is most disturbing, giving a creepy feeling is the serious, deadly dangerous risk to life and limb undertaken by the few participants at what costs to the amusements of the crowds, Is the cruelty to the bull primarily overweighs the risk to the participants.? Are the prodders too hired, drugged and intoxicated not to understand the serious risk to themselves? Is the meaning of cruelty to animals stretched beyond limits of elasticity? Human can slaughter pigs, chickens, lambs, sheep, bulls. fish etc for its own needs of food and pleasure and it does not embrace selectively the definition of cruelty. In the animal world too carnivorous animals, reptiles, birds, even fish species, mercilessly hunt and instinctively prey upon other defenseless animals for food and is not considered as cruelty. in the animal world The human beings justify massacring their own species in wars, bloody encounters and the term cruelty does not apply. The earlier human fights in Coliseum in Rome are abhorrent. The sports of bull fights is popular acceptance of entertainment in many parts of the world and we trying to ape the west is no justification in permitting, reviving such entertainments at costs to human life. Even the sport of boxing at times borders on severe risks to participants and it is still continued as entertainment. Now Goa too is waiting with bated breath, hopefully to revival of popular bull fights, The Govt. of Goa and Ministers have in different voices indirectly support the revival of sports calling it traditional ,cultural aspect and popular demand Even then Congress MP promised to revive it on being elected. The bull fights in Goa are not organized systematically, The bulls are brought together in some field and the message spread by mouth and now by phone, Immediately enthusiast in drones descend on the scene The bulls may engage or not, but none goads them to action. The duration of encounter varies Sometimes the losing bull may be injured very badly. At times the bulls , or one of the frightened bull may run wild and thus mortally injure the spectators, But it is very rare, What may be expected is proper ring, enclosure for the bulls and safe arrangement for spectators. What is not disclosed openly is the transactions of large bets that is the bone of contention behind this sport. Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
[Goanet] cribs aroun Goa
CRIBS DURING CHRISTMAS The Villages like Cansaulim, Cuelim, Arossim have developed expertise, exquisite taste in erecting these biblical scenes /cribs. It requires involvement, investment, creativity and time,. Every year these scenes are totally different and never repeated, The donations by visitors is a matter of good gesture, but does not compensate financially. There is commitment and thinking and execution, Individual are motivated for ulterior and internal satisfaction The multitudes of people from all over Goa ,thronging to these sites on crib tours is the proof of appreciation, recognition, Noticeably people of other faith seem to patronize these events. It looks like this experiment is catching on in other parts, The Agali and Nuvem cribs were equally tasteful and educative .Nuvem in particular there was a meaningful running commentary. In the above arrears mentioned there were scale down models in various places and equally worth visiting. Some efforts at Colva, Fatorda are measuring up to expected standards and are likely to undergo improvement over time, depending primarily on financial sponsors, well-wishers and field workers, There is carpentry , masonry work, layout, sceneries, statues and dress etc. The time taken runs from month to 25 days of consistent devotion The villagers of Arossim, Cuelim, Cansaulim take great pride and are the pioneers in this art form As far as I know Goa is one of the most important place hosting cribs of such magnitude and taste. There should be consolidated information of all important cribs set ups and undertaken by Dept of Art and Culture and this could be most informative and helpful to crib visitors. Many of the scenes have been posted on FB giving an idea to those in Goa and abroad who are unaware and cannot make it to the sites The Goa Art and culture Dept, has done well to offer prizes for competition and is right step for encouragement, recognition, appreciation and preserving the culture Nelson Lopes Chinchinim

[Goanet] designate coconut tree as state tree
DESIGNATE COCONUT TREE AS STATE TREE It Is now clarified by the BJP Govt, that over 450 years belief that the designation of coconut tree as a tree is scientifically a misnomer. It is scientifically a palm or some put it sarcastically as grass. Generally the sane opinions of select,knowledgable, important people,legislators are against this classification and vouched to protest loudly, except that it is only the Minister in BJP Govt laboring at justification, further depending on the wisdom and good sense of Goans not to cut down the coconut tree indiscriminately. It is advisable to designate it as a state tree to ensure its protection The greenery of Goan environment largely consists of such prominent trees everywhere dotting the skyline, which gives a distinct look and identity. The beaches adorn the swaying coconut trees beckoning the visitors and providing shelter and protection from scorching summer heat. Toddy was another delicacy that used to be relished early morning. The coconut forms important ingredient of most Goa cuisine and popular sweets. The leaves no longer serve as shelter to homes .Feni which has been granted the geographical status originates from product of the tree, but unfortunately the breed of toddy tappers are in short supply , in spite of host of incentives besides insurance cover. Every part of the tree, besides the fruit has permeated the life of the community in Goa in the past Unfortunately when Govt. acquires land the valuation is most paultry compensation. In fact is the cheapest fruit form amongst many others. It is only a matter of time, when imports will be necessiated to the discomfiture of dependent users It is not clear as to why this nomenclature ,suddenly surfaced at this juncture. It is believed that licence to a brewery in Sanguem is infested with 1500, which will be a, requiem for productive coconut trees. The permission to cut trees is cumbersome process, requiring clearance from police, and agriculture dept and mandatory conditions to plant new trees as per the order .This nomenclature will selectively favour the builders to convert orchards without any such restrictions Some affected individuals thought it as a relief to their woes, Many a times trees in the past were grown to mark the boundaries. The trees abut into the neighbiours property causing imminent danger to life and property ,The authorities depend on the report of police and ZAO to obtain relief and many times it is an obstructive negative, legal process. A legislation to give individuals relief from trees abutting in others compound would be most desirable and with respect to any tree, coconut tree being the most common problem Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
[Goanet] Indian Passport holders can now also travel by Charter flights - Revised guidelines
Revised Charter flight Policy/Guidelines (Dec.2015) AIC SL. No. 5/2015, 22-12-2015 This supersedes AIC 12/2008 dated 6-10-2008. Some observations: Indian Passport holders abroad can now also travel by Charter flights by availing inclusive tour package (ITP) which includes round trip, tours, accommodation etc No ‘flight only’ ticket/travel by any tourists (Foreign/Indian). However, we saw in the past some Charter airlines offering this FO where they also show basic accommodation like dormitory house etc No ‘One Way’ ticket. However, the charter airline are allowed O/W passengers on its first flight inbound and last flight outbound where the airline has series of at least 4 flights (to Goa..) or at least 8 flights (to Metro Cities in India) Also, check this clause: 4.1 (x) Quote Tourists availing ITP charter flights would not be permitted to fly on inward or outward journeys using a scheduled airline. However, in case of any emergency, DGCA may permit tourists arriving on a charter flight to depart from India on scheduled flights. Request for such permission would be submitted by the concerned Indian tour operator. For more info and confirmation visit here http://dgca.nic.in/aic/AIC05_2015.pdf
