Re: [Goanet] The Brit world
That's precisely my point. This is not about the "sins" of Jeffrey Archer, but the manner in which he got the support from the entire Establishment, including at the time of Maggie Thatcher, and in fields other than politics. Yet, when it comes to judging the former home of the expats "people defecating in public" becomes the issue, FN PS: This is NOT to say that India doesn't have her many problems. Just questioning the yardsticks for conjuring Paradise.

[Goanet] Independence Day Special - My best 10 patriotic songs
Independence Day Special - My best 10 patriotic songs Music is considered as nature’s gift and listening to good music is a privilege. It is a not only a source of good entertainment but a medium which can takes you into a different kind of plane altogether. If the poetry, composition, and rendition are good, you are magically taken straight into a seventh heaven. Music soothes you, puts you at peace and gets you into a kind of a hypnotic trance. Indeed, what would life be without music! There’s nothing like good music to get your day moving. The songs which you tend to play depend on the kind of mood that you are in or would like to be in. On days of National importance like the Independence Day or the Republic Day, one often gets into the mood of playing out patriotic tracks. Now, with channels like whatsapp, Facebook and Youtube, many share songs and videos with ease. Today, on the occasion of Independence Day, I must have received loads of music videos and tracks from friends to put me in a good patriotic mood and fervour. That's good. I’m not complaining. I have always been fond of good songs and have grown up listening to good patriotic songs on patriotic days. Who hasn't? I presume, and am pretty sure, that many must have done the same.Over the years, there have been many good songs which have been composed and have created a lasting impression. Everyone will have their own list of favourites to play. I have mine as well. Here, I will make an attempt to choose my ten best. 1. Nanha munna rahi hoon – An excellent track which always used to play on Doordarshan during my school days. Beautifully composed by Naushad with lyrics penned by Shakeel Badayuni, this was a song for the children which became hugely popular. It was sung by Shanti Mathur. The image of a small boy hopping, marching and humming this song on the empty streets along with his pet dog still comes to mind. Not many from the previous era can ever forget this. 2. Vande Mataram – Bankim Chandra’s song has various versions. The earliest one which featured was in a 1952 feature Film, Anadmath. There was one version sung by Hemant Kumar and another one sung by India’s nightingale, Lata Mangeshkar. Lata’s rendition stands out. Later, A.R. Rahman came out with “Maa Tujhe Salaam”, a modernised version of the song in his album which became a kind of an anthem for the youth. 3. Bharat humko jaan se pyara hai – Roja was a beautiful film on National integration. It won three national awards and gained International fame also. The Director, Mani Ratnam, and A.R. Rahman, who composed its music, became National icons. Roja had some of the most amazing music. Among one such tracks is “Bharat humko jaan se pyara hai”, in the soulful voice of Hariharan. 4. Jahan daal daal par sone ki chidiya karti hai basera – Mohammad Rafi had the ability to sing any kind of song and give it that extra special touch. Be it, romantic or quawwali, emotional or masti, classical or patriotic, in the Hindi Film Industry there would be none better than the maestro to sing even difficult songs with extreme ease. Listen to the opening lines of the song and you’ll know what I mean. 53 years after it was composed, this song is still hummed and remembered. 5. Jana Gana Mana – The Jana Gana Mana video sung by over 35 top Indian artists is probably one which has been shared the most. Bharat Bala and A.R. Rahman came together to create this historic album in 2000 which we have been listening to ever since. Many of India’s greatest musicians have contributed to this video. If you haven’t heard this one yet, then you have missed quite a lot. Catch it on Youtube and experience the musical charm it has on offer. You will be amazed. 6. Yeh jo desh hai tera – Once again, who else but Rahman. From the movie “Swades”, which starred Bollywood Superstar Sharukh Khan in an offbeat role, this song has been sung by the genius Rahman himself. The Shehnai instrument has been used in the song to great effect which makes it even more special. 7. Sagara Pran Talmalala – It is a Marathi patriotic song penned by Vinayak Veer Sawarkar, composed by Hridaynath and sung by Lata. While Savarkar’s politics may be questioned, the literary genius that he was will never be. Savarkar is said to have composed and written various poems on prison walls with charcoal and chalk while he was in Cellular jail. This one will really touch your heart and make you dream about your beautiful motherland. 8. Aao Baccho tumhe dikhayen jhanki Hindustan ki– Another of the songs which used to play ever so often on Doordarshan. This song is from the movie Jagriti, a very old but hugely successful films from the 50s. The movie features some classic patriotic tracks. Kavi Pradeep was an extremely famous lyricist who is popularly known for writing the lyrics of “Ae mere watan ke logon”. He has written as well as sung this song which is set to a simple and yet beautiful tune and music by Hemant Kumar. 9. Jis desh mein ganga
[Goanet] Independencedau 15 August ..........?
A new dawn of Independence day celebrations brings new hopes for millions of Indians ,WITHOUT a roof over their head, clean drinking water,, toilets, food or clothes When will these teeming multitudes of Indians see the twilight ray of fulfillment in their lives?, 72 years are long enough in the life span of lucky Indians, who may be b fortunate enough to survive the ordeals of life.The celbrations will speak eloquently of measures adopted to ameliorate their sufferings, but these speech diets every year after year do not fill empty stomachs on an Independent day .The progress has not touched many living a bonded life of ignorance, and deprivity .They are out of heath services, education, housing, M Ghandhi said that unless the benefits reach the poorest of poor. of Indians, it is no progress and development. Much has been done, but much remains to be done, and quickly. There are islands of development, scientific advancement of going to moon and mars and beyond. But down here on earth the poor are crying for basic needs, The politicians turn millionars and billionars every year, Their concern is lips service, more prominent during elections and they then go into hibernation till next elections. They overlook and even may be hand iin gloves of enriching themselves from the fat of the poor, denying them what is legeitimately their dues and meant for them. Imagine the cattle are even depriived of fodder, that is the level the politicians dare to stoop with impunity. The schemes of poverty aleviation do not react, the marginalised , inspite of addhhar card security. The advantages meant for the poor, illiterate are devoured by well to do.The NGO,s other welfare organisations do their bit to reach them, but are often accused, denigrated with motives of selfishness Every Govt that is propelled to power uses the same cliches WELFARE of masses.Govt of the poor , by poor for poor. These slogans continue and will continue for anther 100 years. The illiterate are not able to demanfd their rights and if they do individually or collectively they are beaten to pulp by various subbtle ways of silencing them Yes India has come a long way ,since the British left us orphaned and broken in every sense .But it does not augur well for Indians to live on laurels of present glory alone in comparison of the past. Housing for poor, food for the hungry, clothing for the naked, work for the able, education for all and right to live with dignity and honour as humans, as different from cattle class must get priority and monitored at evry step of implementation. Porosity of resources on the way dissipates the well indtended benefits that must filter down at all times and under all circumstances Only when the last of the marginalised Indian is free from ignorance and economic deprivation to live in dignity like a human, will Independence become meaningful ,joyous celbrations in which every Indian will proudly raise his head Everyone int their position can act to make this reality in their own way .Putting he onus on Govt alone will no do.Be a vigilant Indian to demand Govt with resources to act responsibly and be made accountable That day,a 15 August ? will be the happy Independence day for all Indians yet to born Nelson Lopes Chinchinim

[Goanet] Can India's Patriotism Be Built on Accepting Differences? (Rudolf C Heredia, EPW)
Can India's Patriotism Be Built on Accepting Differences? Rudolf C Heredia Rudolf C Heredia (rudihere...@gmail.com) is at the Indian Social Institute, New Delhi. Vol. 53, Issue No. 29, 21 Jul 2018 There are many avatars of nationalism premised on very different understandings of "the idea of India." This demands a patriotism premised on an inclusive love of all our peoples, a commitment to their integral welfare, and faith in an idea of India with its multicultural, pluri-religious society as less a nation state than a multi-nation-state in the making. The jury is still out on whether this will be a failed experiment or a prophetic sign of the future for a world still struggling to cope with diversity, not quite able to accept the different "other" and the legitimacy of the difference. There is an obvious contradiction between nationalism and internationalism, and yet they prevail together: national chauvinism at home and international globalism abroad. Any response to such anomalies, particularly in a rapidly changing situation, must be critically assessed lest we pour new wine that cannot be contained in "old wine skins" and so burst the skins and spill the wine. Some Issues and Clarifications Nationalism and patriotism: Nationalism as devotion to one's country easily becomes exclusive: my country first, right or wrong. When national interests clash with those of others, nationalism inevitably becomes antagonistic and hostile to other countries and results in violence and war on the world stage, rather than dialogue and tolerance, leading to a compromise for the greater common good and peace. Such a chauvinist nationalism thrives on finding or creating national enemies, whether without or within the country. However, patriotism as a non-exclusive love of one's country must be premised on self-confidence and openness to other countries without fears and suspicions. This is a far better and more constructive basis for an inclusive society, both national and international, than jingoist exclusiveness. An intensification of trade and finance, facilitated by media and migration, results in an imploding globalising world. The consequent rapid and radical change brings back uprooted people who seek lost roots in localisation. Political leaders often find it convenient, even profitable to confuse nationalism and patriotism so as to mobilise people on the basis of a politics of hate, masquerading as nationalism, rather than painstakingly cultivating patriotism as a love for one's people that reaches out to other peoples as well. Such patriotism is a far more viable basis for a national community in pursuit of the common good, rather than the social contract of Thomas Hobbes (1985) which grounds our politics today in the self-interest in individual or group, national or international community. This is what plagues communities in our country and nations at the United Nations, despite so much pious rhetoric. Imagining a nation: Nationalism is the ideology that drives this process of nation-building: "Nationalism is not the awakening of nations to self-consciousness; it invents nations where they do not exist". (Gellner 1964: 169) It was a powerful idea but one that imposed a uniformity (cultural, religious, and economic) with a brutal aggression subsuming lesser communities into the dominant one. The last century has witnessed horrendous clashes of aggressive nationalisms in Europe, engulfing the world in two great wars. However, we have not as yet managed to exorcise such nationalisms from our world. Moreover, when religion is used to construct this national identity, then religion is politicised into an "ideology" and vice versa and nationalism is sacralised into a "religion" -- in other words, a nationalised religion and a sacred nationalism. This entanglement of religion and politics inevitably becomes explosive, as religion becomes fundamentalist and exclusive; and politics becomes extremist and violent. No religious tradition has been an exception to such political manipulation, even those purported to be tolerant and non-violent. Only the expression of the violence varies. When there are many imagined communities in a single polity, we have the multi-nation state, very different and far more problematic than the original European nation state. Moreover, a pluri-religious, multicultural society demands a correspondingly adequate ideological construct -- a pluralism for a multicultural, pluri-religious multi-nation federal state, not the nationalism of the unitary nation state. But first, it must be a civil state before becoming political one. Unhealed, wounded histories: In

[Goanet] Fw: EASE OF LIVING INDEX
GOVERNMENT'S EASE OF LIVING INDEX The government has ranked Indian major cities on a 100 point scale reportedly on four parameters of governance, social, economic and physical infrastructures and has stated Pune is the most livable city with Panaji at 90th position! I was born, spent my school and beautiful college years in Poona. Today renamed PUNE is an overcrowded noisy polluted city, generally smelling of garbage with traffic and parking problems, pedestrians finding it difficult to walk safely, pot holed roads, power failures/load shedding , flooding at the slightest rains. Besides the well maintained army contonment which they are trying to destroy, heritage buildings replaced by ugly buildings with flora gone and crows/scavenger birds predominant, shanties/ beggars unoticed on streets. I have stopped going on holidays to Pune where most of my family stays, because it brings tears to my eyes to see what they have done to my beloved city. Many people I know have run away from Pune to settle in Goa. This exercise I suppose is good government propaganda for smart cities and I pray Panaji does not follow suit into a concrete jungle. Ease of living for whom?

[Goanet] MACAU: surging ahead
A bit of crapology here. The Portuguese do not have to hide their heads in shame. Before the 1999 there was no China market of gamblers. Almost 100 percent players were from Hong Kong a tiny market compared to what is going on today. Economic indicators may have boomed after the handover, but the downside to the China market is that local youth married or single today have to live with their parents or in public housing because the rents and prices of flats are exorbitant, some even live across the border because of costs . The rate of unemployment is low, but the type of jobs are basically menial. The dwindling of freedoms is another negative aspect, and no one knows what is behind the big deals. Many locals claim that living standards were much better than before the handover. BC Roland, Not surprised that Macau will end up as Qatar of the East. It seems that whatever the Chinese touch turn to gold. The Portuguese must be hiding their heads in shame.

His role as a captain, bowler, batsman may provide the spark if resumed, Cricket is like a emotional, passionate war of sorts between the neighbours ,substitute for physical engagement In the past too attempts have been made by all sides for rapprochement without much success The people of Pakistan invest in democracy with a hope, expectations and aspiration for change of order for better. The civilian Govts have suffered the same disease of maneuvering by military establishment from behind. Ms Bhuto blowing hot and cold was eliminated by design not by accident as it appears to be. Musharaf too made news wearing a mask of peace and waging the infamous Kargil war .The actions of Sharif alienated the establishment, who tried to put a spork in is wheel of developing cordial relations The war cries and bugles is favourite diet of military to keep in them in the reckoning .No one dares to rub them on the wrong sides. Musharaf is in exile with all his patriotic flavor having the taste of his own medicine he administered to his predecessor Since the military establishment cannot dislodge the democratic Govt by a coup, they embroil their unamenable leaders in the cauldron of soup of economic offences Military coup will lead to crippling economic sanctions that will not be to the advantage of military bosses and that is why they thread a beaten path. Already winds of allegations of corruption are blowing against the new incumbent, meant to send a subtle warning. The civilian Govt is always check mated for trying to pursue a liberal approach towards India and must receive tacit approval of military establishment, hence the democratic Govt in Pakistan is constantly under a strain to please the military. The military is pursuing a low intensity war of terrorism bleeding India with non-state actors, jihadi groups and terrorist training camps on its soil with denial mode as its strategy The one solution that could reign in peace is the suggestion that LOC be converted into International border. Both sides give up their hardened stand to re occupy the positions held as present. Improvement of trade, exchange of visitors person to person contact, stopping export of cross border terrorism with military support and reigning in the jihadi groups can at least bring about thaw in hostile relations The threat of nuclear war is a bogey that will have consequences for warring groups with economic disaster for already a ruined economy of Pakistan, The cold war bitterness between Russia, China, USA for strategic foothold in the region is no more the avowed purpose and Pakistan no more holds its cards The Afghanistan issue is no more the bone of contention to give Pakistan aid, which has been misused Imran Khan as the new P.M carries the weight on his shoulders .He has to please the military establishment , not alienate the powerful Jihadi groups nurtured and cultivated by military and fulfill the aspiration of people who have put him in the sa
[Goanet] WHAT?S GOAN?
Very easy to answer. Wear a casti, pudvem, tadop, suit and pent! So many options, zaitem aha nespak. BC I used to tell my daughter: ?Always remember, you are a Goan?. I did not say ?a Goan first? because I could not invent an order of priorities. Her older son?s British school asked him to wear his national dress at a school function. So his father bought him an Indian outfit for the occasion. The little fellow asked his father: ?Is that Goan?? The father told him: ?Ask your grandfather.? I remain nonplussed; can anyone tell what?s 'Goan? Bennet Paes -***
Re: [Goanet] Can non-resident Indians please shut up?
It's stiil few hours to go for the celebrations to begin marking India's 71 birthday for Indians in Canada. Yeah, at the stroke of midnight, India broke free of its colonial yoke. No matter where some of us -- foreign citizens - have attachment to the "old country.". A remark by a Conservative MP just few days ago has again raised the issue of whether Canada is losing its "core" identity through "radical multiculturalism" promoted by the Liberal govt. India is no exception under the present dispensation, calling for a Hindu Rashtra. Political tribes is a new race.

[Goanet] INDEPENDENCE DAY GREETINGS TO YOU
Let us today vow to work towards ensuring that in 2019 we will see a truly Independent India. The Lok Sabha Elections next year will be our final opportunity to politically trash the BJP and restore our country's Secular outlook that the founding Fathers of the Constitution had so dedicatedly toiled for. To restore democracy our India must wholeheartedly and selflessly unite against the deviously Communal, Corrupt and very Divisive BJP. Over the last four years under Narendra Modi our great country has ebbed to dire straits. Raj Bhavans have been converted into BJP dens for political chicanery. The BJP has over these years trampled on even the Independence of the Judiciary. And more importantly while eroding the autonomy of even the Reserve Bank, Election Commission and the CBI, Narendra Modi and the BJP have ruptured the very secular fabric of our great nation.
