[Goanet] AN ARTICLE BY FR. CEDRIC PRAKASH

2017-09-24 Thread Aires Rodrigues
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!

*Fr. CEDRIC PRAKASH sj
*

In a powerful speech to world leaders on September 19th, Antonio Guterres,
the Secretary General of the United Nations, kicked off the UN General
Assembly 2017. *“We are living in a world in pieces”, he warned the
leaders; going on to add, "our world is in trouble. People are hurting and
angry. They see insecurity rising, inequality growing, conflict spreading
and climate changing."*

Guterres went on to outline seven key threats facing the world, and the
major challenges to resolving them: the risk of nuclear conflict,
international terrorism, unresolved conflicts and violations of
international humanitarian law, climate change, rising inequality, cyber
security, and the refugee crisis. He concluded with an appeal, *“my message
to world leaders today: only together, as truly United Nations, can we
build a peaceful world and advance human dignity for all.”*

The words of the UN Chief which revolved around peace and human dignity,
could not have come at a more appropriate time- when several so-called
“world leaders” are spewing the venom of hate, violence, war and even
indulging in it. The world observed yet another International* Day of
Peace* (“Peace
Day”) on September 21st. The day is to* “commemorate and strengthen the
ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples.” *It is
therefore necessary to remind ourselves that each one of us is called to be
a channel of peace and that we need to have the courage to hold our leaders
accountable in ensuring peace for all.

Very significantly, the theme for this year’s ‘Peace Day’ is “*Together for
Peace: Respect, Safety and Dignity for All” *This theme is based on the
*TOGETHER* global campaign that promotes respect, safety and dignity for
everyone forced to flee their homes in search of a better life.
*TOGETHER* brings
together the organizations of the United Nations System, the 193 member
countries of the United Nations, the private sector, civil society,
academic institutions and individual citizens in a global partnership in
support of diversity, non-discrimination and acceptance of refugees and
migrants.

Many will certainly doubt whether some key leaders will take this timely
theme seriously. Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar’s military junta continue
with the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya Muslims in their country. More
than 400,000 Rohingyas have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh in just about a
month. Appeals from all over the world to stop this genocide have been
ignored. In total violation of the past track record, India has closed the
doors to the persecuted and helpless refugees. The war in Syria is in its
seventh year. Violence continues in South Sudan, Somalia, Central African
Republic, Congo and other parts of Africa. The hopes for lasting peace in
Colombia, Venezuela and elsewhere in South America remains an illusion.
Trump continues to breathe war on several nations across the globe. Duterte
in the Philippines has no qualms of conscience in legitimatising violence
and murder of his people.

Narendra Modi and his henchmen in India seem to be proving that hate,
violence and discrimination bring them ‘power’. The brutal murder recently,
of well-known journalist Gauri Lankesh is a case in point. In the not too
distant past, the country has also witnessed the gruesome killings of
rationalists and intellectuals like Dabholkar, Pansare and Kalburgi and of
several other journalists, human rights and RTI activists. It is said that
on September 17th (Modi’s birthday)‘the Sardar Sarovar dam in Gujarat was
lit up and 2,00,000 people (comprising farmers, fishers, potters,
pastoralists, tribals, Dalits and small enterprise holders) had to be
submerged for the ‘Narmada Mahotsav’ to be a success’. The violence against
minorities in India continues unabated.

Pope Francis has consistently and unequivocally asserted the need for
peace. In a letter to the International Meeting “Paths of Peace” held in
Germany from September 10th to 12th he wrote, *“what we may not and must
not do is remain indifferent, allowing tragedies of hatred to pass
unnoticed, and men and women to be cast aside for the sake of power and
profit. Your meeting in these days, and your desire to blaze new paths of
peace and for peace, can be seen as a response to the call to overcome
indifference in the face of human suffering. I thank you for this, and for
the fact that you have gathered, despite your differences, to seek
processes of liberation from the evils of war and hatred. For this to
happen, the first step is to feel the pain of others, to make it our own,
neither overlooking it nor becoming inured to it. We must never grow
accustomed or indifferent to evil”.*

Some leaders however, obviously do not care with being “*Together for Peace*”
and ensuring “*Respect, Safety and Dignity for all.*” Many people across
the globe lack the respect, safety and digni

[Goanet] AIFF REPORT: INDIAN COLTS HELD TO A DRAW BY DEFENDING CHAMPIONS IRAQ

2017-09-24 Thread AIFF Media
Dear Colleagues,

Please find the match report of the AFC U-16 Championship Qualifiers
between India and Iraq played at the Halchowk Stadium in Kathmandu today
(September 24, 2017).

INDIAN COLTS HELD TO A DRAW BY DEFENDING CHAMPIONS IRAQ


*By Shoubhik Mukhopadhyay,AIFF Media Team*



*KATHMANDU:* India were held to a goalless draw by defending Asian
Champions Iraq in the AFC U-16 Championship Qualifiers at the Halchowk
Stadium in Kathmandu on Sunday (September 24, 2017).



Courtesy the result, an unbeaten India finished their engagements with 5
points from 3 matches and now wait for engagements in other groups to
finish across other venues (all over Asia) to find out if whether they have
made it to the AFC U-16 Finals by virtue of being the best second-placed
Team across 10 groups.



Meanwhile, Iraq who finished their engagements with 7 points from 3 matches
have already booked a ticket to the AFC U-16 Finals slated to be held next
year.



Knowing that only a victory would enable them a ticket to the AFC U-16
Finals, India started on a positive note and should have surged into the
lead as early as the 6th minute itself but the swift Bekey despite sneaking
in from the flanks, could not get the power behind his shot and the Iraqi
goalkeeper managed to save it.



The Indians played with more purpose even as the Iraqis relied on their
physical superiority to seize it in the midfield.



In the 42nd minute, Vikram made another robust move but Ricky shot straight
to the rival Goalkeeper as both teams headed to the interval locked
goalless.



Following the restart, Bekey got perhaps the easiest chance of the match
when at the hour mark, he had the rival Goalkeeper at his mercy from a
hand-shaking distance. But he couldn’t finish it off.



Two minutes later, Ravi flashed another cross from the left flank but it
bounced out.



Coach Bibiano Fernandes introduced the fresh pair of legs of Harpreet in
the 76th minute. Six minutes later Harpreet, with a solo effort barged in
but the goalkeeper wasn’t to be beaten.



India went all out thereafter but Iraq were more content to stabilise their
defence as they increased numbers at the back. The Indian colts tried hard
Iraq managed to hold on.



*INDIA U-16:* Lalbiakhlua Jongte (GK), Harpreet Singh, Moirangthem Thoiba
Singh, Gurkirat Singh, Shabas Ahammed Moothedath (Samir Kerketta 69'),
Lalchhanhima Sailo (Ridge Melvin 89'), Ricky John Shabong, Givson Singh

[Goanet] Moving to the UK -- a land we had only heard of (Mervyn Maciel, special to Goanet Reader)

2017-09-24 Thread Goanet Reader
MOVING TO THE U.K. -- A LAND WE HAD ONLY HEARD OF

Mervyn Maciel
mervynels.watuwasha...@gmail.com

Did I ever think of leaving Kenya, the land of my birth?

Never!

Did I ever feel my job would soon be Africanised?

Not really. I knew that I would one day have to go, but never
thought the end would come so soon. Many of my African
colleagues and even my own immediate boss had felt that my
services would be required for a long time.

  How shocked I was when a work colleague who had
  travelled to the Kenyan national capital of Nairobi
  on duty, found out that among some of the executive
  posts that were to be Africanised, mine was one of
  them. I just couldn't believe this when he relayed
  the news to me in a phone call. My immediate boss
  had not heard of it either and was equally
  surprised.

But then, I had to remind myself that I was serving under an
African government and not the colonial government I once
served. Politicians had promised the Kenyanisation of the
civil service -- but now, the clamour for Africanisation as
opposed to Kenyanisation had become louder. We had to think
fast. Recounting out experiences during that terrible bloody
revolution in Zanzibar, we felt we had to leave this
beautiful country we loved so much and move to the United
Kingdom -- a land we had only heard of.

Some friends had described it as the land of milk and honey.
We had no friends there apart from my cousin Jock Sequeira
and his family who had moved there a year earlier after his
own post as Education Officer was due to be Africanised.

In addition to a very modest compensation package we, the
'Forgotten Men' were given -- modest in comparison with the
over-generous package our European colleagues got -- I was
also given six months notice on full pay. So there was ample
time to look for a job once we got to the U.K.

It was sad to leave a country and people we loved so much.
There was much heart-ache when we finally left Nairobi for
London en route Entebbe. It was sad to part from our old
faithful cook (Magama Nyangechi) who always told me that I
would be in my job forever!! We promised we would keep in
touch.

Our reception at Heathrow airport in London was very
friendly, with one of the airport officials welcoming us with
open arms.

It was the summer of 1966 and the climate seemed no different
from that of Kenya when we arrived in England. I wondered
about all those 'scare stories' we'd heard from friends about
the English weather. Little did I just then realize then that
there was worse to come in the months ahead!

For a few months, we were the guests of my dear cousin Jock
and his family at their Latimer Road home in Wimbledon. How
they agreed to accommodate six of us (Elsie, sons Clyde and
Andrew, and very young daughters Josey and Pollyanna, who was
a mere babe in arms then), when they had a large family of
their own, I shall never know. But we all remain ever
grateful for their hospitality.

  I had six months leave on full pay and didn't feel
  the need to look for a job immediately. I was
  taking life a trifle too easy, thinking that, like
  in Kenya, houses were easy to come by. Mortgages
  and visits to the bank manger were alien animals to
  me. I thought it would all be plain sailing.

How wrong I was.

After staying in a guest house in Wimbledon for a few weeks,
through the sheer encouragement of another cousin (Rita nee
Sequeira), I finally made the effort to get off my backside
and start looking for somewhere to live. We went to several
estate agents, building societies, liked a house and lost it
since someone had ready cash had paid for it and moved in
sooner.

I had to go through the building society, obtain a mortgage
(the very word was Greek to me!) and so on. To cut a long
story short, we, finally, after seeing and losing two lovely
properties we liked, moved into our present residence in
Sutton, Surrey. Since this was a small terraced house in
comparison to the spacious government-provided bungalow I was
given in Kenya, we decided to call our home 'manyatta' (a
little hut, and that's what it is!). Despite its size though,
we have entertained many guests from various nationalities
over the years.

  Jobs in those days were easy to come by and I had
  no difficulty finding one. The only irritation I
  felt was when officials at he job centre asked me,
  what I can only describe as a stupid question: "Do
  you have any London experience?".

How on earth did they expect one who has just arrived in the
country to have London experience? Didn't take the first job
I was offered since a friend (Tilak Castellino) suggested
that I take a job at the firm he had just moved from and
where my salary would be higher than what I had been offered
earlier.

My first impressions of the English office worker were not
impressive. Whereas I found I could do

SUNDAY OFF

The world over the readers views take precedence. A large space is
 generally devoted to air readers viewpoints.. Like Editorials the readers
opinions, observations ,promote, stimulate, creative  and varied thoughts.
Different aspects get expanded on the same issue and thus set in motion
enlightened  debates   Unfortunately ,on  Sundays some news papers take an
unwanted break or is it safe to presume  that  the   writers want to relax
?. The  allotted space is being utilized and writers are privileged when
their content is published.. It can fuel controversies at times, and when
it gets to loud, the Editor after giving fair opportunities for rrebuttal
for and aginst, decides to put a stop to further correspondence on the
subject.  Views are subject to editing and editor does not take any
responsibility for the views expressed. It is sad that this reserved space
is transferred to what is called  important news of the day, thus
curtailing this vital public forum of expressions, conveying the
impressions that readers views are dispensable.. The writers, whether
casual or regular find an opportunity to espouse their ideas , free, where
otherwise such thoughts would not find a medium of exposure. Reader`s views
also develop writing skills and the sheer thrill of being accepted for
publishing is definitely and positively elevating experience. The views
should not be mere repetitive comments of news of the day, without a
thought provoking insight and the  other view .It is unreasonable  judgment
that once the views appear in one daily, that paper  should  deny  its
readers the same, denoting it is as repetitive. Making it mandatory and
exclusiveness to publish is not just right, because it may not be
 sometimes acceptable due to space constraints and relevance of submitting
to another may make it irrelevant  by time lapse. Should not the editors
out of courtesy return unpublished , unacceptable views or at least express
regrets by email?. Cold shouldering is unethical, discourteous practice
here in India. Editors outside our country, while  politely rejecting the
views  communicate not  to be discouraged..  They  suggest  that non
publishing may be due to space constraints, length, or more important
topics  of general interests. They encourage, welcome  you to  continue to
keep in touch  and   not to be disappointed. Some news papers provide a
free copy when views are published. It is advisable to provide
opportunities to new comers and avoid monopoly due to hallo effect of some
dominant  writers.  While in some dailies readers views are denied on
Sundays, others specially allot space on Sundays. Readers views are the
pulse of general public and a forum for general attention. Is it not true
 that views provide a redressal mechanism at times that leads to mass
awakening? The space allotted by New York Times is worthy of emulations.
The forum for readers views must not be curtailed, in fact it should be
enlarged, as analytical  studies will  point to its popularity with the
readers

[Goanet] POLITICS AND SPORTS A BAD COMBO

2017-09-24 Thread Aires Rodrigues
The 17th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup will be hosted by India between
6th and 28th October with some matches being played in Goa too. But it is a
matter of immense anguish and disappointment that not a single of our Goan
player has qualified to be on the Indian squad. This despite football being
the official Sport of the State.


In 2012, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar appointed one of his side-kick,
the doctor cum politician Rufino Monteiro to head his newly created Goa
Football Development Corporation (GFDC) on a whopping annual five crore
budget. It has been money all down the drain in the name of promoting
football while the cardiologist Dr Rufino Monteiro as Chairman of GFDC has
been merrily and heartlessly even misusing the official INNOVA vehicle for
all and sundry including visiting his patients while the future of soccer
has gone awry and now remains in a critical state. Over the five long years
the end product by GFDC has been a big Zero.


There is a need of a post-mortem and auditing of the GFDC accounts from
2012 to see where all those crores have been pilfered. It’s also high time
to wind up that GFDC which has ended up as yet another BJP controlled white
elephant. It would be prudent to now rightly entrust the Goa Football
Association the sole task of professionally uplifting and restoring the
past football glory in the State.

[Goanet] The Kranti Farias Presentation

2017-09-24 Thread Roland Francis
Prof Kranti Farias did a good presentation on Sunday afternoonfollowed by Q&A 
which she handled ably. She came across as a friendly, personable expert which 
helped the listeners immerse themselves in the subject easily.

She did a power point based presentation where she covered a lot of ground 
without depth in any specific area due to the limit on time and in line with 
her purpose,

She started from the Aryan invasion from the Caucus to their route through 
Afghanistan, onto Rajasthan which finally ended in Goa and Bengal.

She went through the Jewish presence in Goa and 3 other places in India and 
then onto the Inquisition, the conversions and the forced migration to 
Mangalore where the local kings welcomed the Christian refugees and granted 
them land and the ability to carry out farming and other occupations.

Starting from the political positions in the Deccan, she traced the advent of 
the Portuguese trade which led to their fight for souls and spices and their 
grab for power and conquest and the effect of that on the castes, conversion, 
migration, the displacement of Adil Shah and unsettling effect on the southern 
territories dominated by Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan.

She discussed the Padroado and the conflict with the Propaganda Fide directive 
that allowed a local Bishop Thomas de Castro to establish and carry on a 
diocese in Mangalore filled with local clerics who were outside of the 
Padroado. We were told that the Padroado was thus far run entirely by 
Portuguese personnel but later on suffered a shortage of manpower, allowing 
local priests to be at last admitted.

She also gave an insight into life for the Christians of North and South Kanara 
from refugee beginnings to establishing themselves through land and property 
acquired by farming and through business and administration. An interesting 
aspect was the Protestant entry into Mangalore through the Basel Mission and 
the enormous positive impact of their activities on the lowers classes of 
Kanara.

She updated us on her attempt at DNA research with the aim of exploring the 
Jewish connection which Goans and Mangloreans carry in their genetic make-up. 
On a lighter note, she explored the names the two Catholic communities acquired 
in their conversions.

All people attending appreciated the information from the presentation and the 
informal but comprehensive delivery by the learned professor. The audience was 
a mix of Goans and Mangloreans of both sexes and all adult ages.
