Dear Venantius:

 

First of all let me say that Iprobably should send you a royalty check for the 
intriguing artwork authored byyou that this month graces my desktop.

 
https://glass-lyre-press.myshopify.com/collections/pirenes-fountain/products/silk-spice-pirenes-fountain-2016But
 for now, allow me to say ThankYou! Talents like yours are rare indeed. Proud 
of you Venantius-san.

Coming to the subject at hand, nomatter that Linda De Suza sings in French some 
of the time (a language that Idid spend a few years learning in high school), 
you could find it easy to be afan of Linda De Suza. The lady has a beautiful 
voice and lots of talent. Like her so  many of us Goans in foreign lands must 
feel like "L'Etrangere" once in a while? BTW Lyrics English translation can be 
found at 
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/l%C3%A9trang%C3%A8re-foreigner.html
I know that Goans all over the worldare familiar with many different languages. 
More out of necessity than choice. So no big deal here. 
We take it in stride. Life goes on.

Regards,

ejd

[Goanet] Book on former Goa CM Manohar Parrikar to release in April (PTI, Mar)

Book on former Goa CM Manohar Parrikar to release in April

A book on the life and times of bureaucrat-turned-politician Manohar
Parrikar, who served as the defence minister and Goa chief minister, will
hit the stands in April, announced publishing house Penguin Random House
India on Monday.
The book titled "An Extraordinary Life: A biography of Manohar Parrikar" is
written by veteran journalists Sadguru Patil and Mayabhushan Nagvenkar.
Tuesday marks the first death anniversary of Parrikar who died after
battling pancreatic cancer for over a year. He was 63.



A "nuanced and sensitive narration", the book claims to be an "insightful
and captivating read, complete with the informed voices of his relatives,
friends, foes, bureaucrats and IIT contemporaries".
"Manohar Parrikar was a towering personality, who defined an era in Goa's
politics, after the turbulent 1990s which produced 13 chief ministers in a
decade. A four-time chief minister and defence minister, he had the talent,
intellect and the drive to achieve, perhaps even more," said co-author
Sadguru Patil.

Parrikar was among the few from Goa who made it to the national level. He
held the defence portfolio in the Modi government from 2014 till 2017
before returning to his first love, Goa, to take over the chief minister's
post.

The biography, according to Nagvenkar, is "a lively scrapbook of his Tom
Sawyer-like childhood and youth", as well as a "no-holds-barred report card
of his subsequent political journey, through the voices of people who knew
him, many of them intimately".

The authors, Patil and Nagvenkar, interviewed the politician many times
over the course of their careers, closely followed his rise in politics and
witnessed the many battles he had to undergo in his life.


An admitted workaholic who insisted on leading a simple life, Parrikar, a
metallurgist by training, enjoyed acceptance from all sections of the BJP
and beyond. He played a key role in making the BJP a force to reckon with
in Goa, which for the longest time was a Congress bastion.


"Manohar Parrikar was a popular, astute and grassroots leader of the BJP
who served as the chief minister of Goa for multiple terms, as well as the
defence minister of India.


"An indefatigable and spirted politician, he chose to work until his last
days, and left a mark wherever he went. 'An Extraordinary Life' by Sadguru
Patil and Mayabhushan Nagvenkar chronicles the life and impact of Manohar
Parrikar in Indian politics," said Milee Ashwarya, Publisher, Ebury
Publishing and Vintage Publishing, Penguin Random House India.

[Goanet] GOA GOVERNMENT IS A BUNDLE OF FAILED PROMISES

2020-06-07 Thread Aires Rodrigues
We are facing the brunt of the endless greed of our current politicians who
are adding more concrete buildings to an already badly battered Goa without
caring to first put the basic infrastructure in place and with no respect
for our fragile environment.

The garbage and sewage discharge problem has reached a point of crisis with
the government having miserably also failed to tackle even the stray dogs
and cattle issue. Proper healthcare needs to be provided to the poorest of
the poor in hospitals and health centers across the State as we cannot
allow young lives to be lost for lack of proper medical care.  Creating
quality educational facilities and delivering on a good and dependable
public transport system should have also been the thrust of those in Power.
Instead they have successfully transformed Goa into a Gambling,
Prostitution, Narcotics and Crime hub. It is no wonder that the economy of
the State just like the country continues to accelerate in a downward
spiral while the fortunes of the greedy continues to propel upwards.

It is an insult to the people of Goa that instead of acting with greater
urgency and determination to eradicate the neglect, stench and
deterioration caused over the years, this inept uncaring Government only
cares about personal greed and power grabbing.



The State must not embark on futile projects wasting taxpayers money which
could be better spent on the long standing desperate needs of the people
whose trust this government has betrayed. The Government's obvious failed
priorities clearly indicate that the huge expense being incurred is for
their own personal gain rather than for the benefit of the people.


It is a pity that the scourge of this global pandemic that has caused so
much anxiety, pain and hardship and which continues to plague our State has
not changed the hearts and minds of our corrupt officials. They show little
or no sign of putting the people’s priorities first or working urgently and
transparently to ensure better medical, scientific, educational and
economic measures and facilities are put in place with the limited
resources available with transparency and zero tolerance to corruption at
all levels. The time and need for REAL CHANGE, has never been greater than
NOW!



Corruption erodes the institutional capacity of Government if procedures
are disregarded and resources are siphoned off. It also results in the
inefficient provision of services. Corruption undermines the legitimacy of
Government and such democratic values as trust and tolerance.


If Goa was freed of this menace of rampant corruption and if our Ministers
had focused on enhancing our infrastructure instead of enriching their deep
pockets, the brand Goa would have sold itself and been a vibrant hub
without a paisa needed to promote our resourceful State, once the Pearl of
the East. No sensible investors will invest in a stagnant and
environmentally dilapidated Goa, now the Eyesore of the East!

The Goa Inquisition: when FACT creates Fiction

Alan Machado
alan.macha...@gmail.com

The subject of the Goa Inquisition appears to rise like a
bubble from murky waters every few years. Being in the
process of writing a book on the subject, I have accessed a
vast amount of primary and secondary sources. Also, I have
found a lot of misinformation unsupported by verifiable
historical content being propagated as historical fact for a
variety of reasons. This sadly is the case with an
'exhibition' about the Goa Inquisition entitled Goa
Inquisition -- The Epitome of Christian Missionary Violence
floated recently on the internet by a group with the acronym
FACT (Foundation for Advancement of Cultural Ties).

  From the point of view of serious historical
  research, I found this 'exhibition' disturbing for
  its numerous factual gaffes, misconceptions, and
  distortions.  However, these can mislead people who
  do not have any background reading about the Goa
  Inquisition.  Those who seek and take the trouble
  to learn more, like you, deserve better.

Readers may access FACT for fiction; here I intend to
highlight some facts, with citations for those who wish to
pursue the subject further.  For clarity, I have used
quotation marks for statements made by FACT.

Fiction: "Most Indians believe that Goa was settled by
Portuguese. This is what the history textbooks have taught
them."

Fact: This statement undermines the intelligence of Indians.
History books state that Goa, rather Tiswadi, a small part of
present-day Goa, was captured by the Portuguese in 1510,
obviously from people who had already settled Goa.

Fiction: Albuquerque encouraged mixed marriages which "formed
the race that has become known as Luso-Indians and later as
Goans."

  Fact: The policy was abandoned on the king's orders
  almost immediately after it was initiated.  Goa has
  a complex population structure composed of Gaudes,
  Kunbis and Velips, Bandaris, Sudras, Chardos, and
  Bamons, all of whom descend from people who had
  settled Goa long, long before the arrival of the
  Portuguese.

Fiction: The Inquisition was "basically a holocaust inflicted
on the Indian people."

  Fact: Eighty years after the people of Goa had been
  exposed to the activities of the Inquisition, in
  1642, the ganvkars of Salcete petitioned the king
  to use the Inquisition to investigate and punish
  corrupt officials as there was no one else who
  could do it without fearing reprisals (deSouza, T.
  Medeival Goa, 2009:196).  Clearly they saw the
  Inquisition as a powerful and fearless corrective
  engine of justice.  This opinion, coming from
  perhaps Salcete's most influential community,
  speaks volumes on how contemporary Goans viewed the
  Inquisition.

Fiction: The Goa Inquisition reported to the Pope in Rome

Fact: It reported to the King of Portugal.  Inquisitors were
appointed by the king.  The viceroy and State officials, all
appointed by the king, were present at the public auto da fe.

These were ceremonies primarily devoted to the reconciliation
of convicted persons through the process of abjuration, and
the relaxation of the very few who were condemned as
obstinate, dogmatic, and irreconcilable heretics to the
secular arm.

Each offender was given into the care of a familiar, a member
of Goa's Portuguese elite.  The tolling of church bells urged
people to witness the ceremony conducted in churches or the
Terreiro da Sabayo, the great square enclosed by the Palace
of the Inquisition, the Se Cathedral, the Senate House, and
the Rua Direita.  The Inquisition carried out the
investigation and passed sentence; civil authority executed
the sentence.

Fiction: Francis Xavier laid the foundation of the Goa
Inquisition

  Fact: The Goa Inquisition was established in 1560,
  eight years after Xavier's death.  Xavier arrived
  in Goa in 1542.  He stayed there for just a few
  months before moving to the Tamil Nadu coast and
  then further east into Asia.  From the Moluccas, he
  wrote to the king in 1546 asking him to establish
  the Inquisition as a means of containing the
  growing influence of Jews, New Christians (Iberian
  Christians of Jewish ancestry), and Muslims in
  Portugal's fortresses in Asia, all perceived as a
  security threat to both State and Christianity.
  The decision to send the Goa Inquisition was not
  taken lightly, but took years of debate and a long
  tussle between pro- and anti-Inquisition policy
  makers in Lisbon.

Fiction: The Inquisition used the terms "Hindu" and "Muslim"
for non-Christians

Fact: These terms never appear in an Inquisition document.
They are of later origin.  The Inquisition used the

Noronha in Goa.


FN,Sorry, I don't have the answer to any of your questions but they jogged a 
memory.


In the 1970s there used to be fights at the Dar Institute nearly every month 
and lots of them around the Christmas season. At times, the culprits would 
fight at lunchtime, go home, return in the evening and both parties could be 
seen then having a drink together. At other times, the fights resulted in 
members getting suspended - but that did not help much. It was only when 
management decided to suspend the members entire family that the fights became 
less frequent. In other words, when the threat of the member's kids not being 
able to use the club during Christmas became real, the real boss of the family 
stepped in and stopped the member from fighting there.  


The fights were fueled not only by cold beer but also by baggage of past lives. 
I have seen people break a beer bottle on another persons skull and nothing 
(visible) happen to either party. I have also seen Goan police officers call 
constables to arrest club members - while a fight was still in progress. 


One of the most infamous club member was a certain person, lets call him 
Monsieur Calme. This gentleman had a body as hot as one of the Greek statues 
and he had a hotter temperance to boot. Monsieur Calme was a participant in 
half the fights I have witnessed at the D.I. Most of the time, he was not 
involved with the cause of the fight but someone would draw him into it. When 
Monsieur Calme was rolling on the floor punching someone else, it was always 
worthwhile to stand up and observe all the action.  


Well, one sad morning we found out the worst news. Monsieur Calme had migrated 
to France. In that one movement, half the entertainment in the club 
disappeared. The horrible thought, the most horrible thought at the time was, 
when he returned to Dar for a vacation, would Monsieur Clame be speaking a 
sissy language like French?


Well, Monsieur Calme never returned to Dar. However, there is a somewhat better 
ending to the story. Monsieur Calme did come to Toronto for a school re-union. 
I did not know he would be attending a gathering which was to kick off the 
celebrations and  late into the night, when everyone was very relaxed, in front 
of my eyes - just like an apparition - was Monsieur Calme. While he was in his 
70s then, he looked as brawny as a man half that age. I started talking to him, 
in English, and he was the same person with the same temperament of 40 years 
prior. He had not changed a bit!  I started announcing him to my friends who 
were barely teens when we last saw him. He was like a Rambo to us in those 
days. 


All of us were longing for just one answer, but we were also too intimidated to 
ask the question. Then one did and yes, Monsieur Calme could and started 
speaking in fluent French.

Perhaps inadvertent, perhaps a choice -  which I relate to, and appropriate

messup, that rushing into reliance on the digital world, cashless society etc 
without reliable infrastructure and people first considerations is only going 
to get us all into further suffering and mess! The Banks/ Post Offices did not 
have the gumption to tell the government that unreliable power and 
servers/internet unreliability was making their job slower than when it was 
manual! Yes I witnessedthe frustrated staff  boldly confessing this to the 
fuming public standing waiting in social distance lines ! Not everyone can 
afford smart phones and there are millions besides some senior citizens who 
find it difficult to operate the equipment/procedures and have no one to help. 
The "all routes on this line are busy" and "customer care executive will attend 
to you shortly" is really frustrating when it becomes perrenial wait at our 
cost and one cannot even get through leave alone transact! So let us please get 
back to basic reliable infrastructure first and stop grandoise plans and dirty 
electoral politics even before we have conquered Corona.  Why cater to a 
comparatively few priveledged people and their welfare and dreams at the cost 
of further damaging nature and the toiling masses who are merely demanding 
their basic human rights, respect and freedom and that as apparent now, were 
actually carrying the nation on their shoulders!

Re: [Goanet] Biblical Lines but and Bards

2020-06-07 Thread Venantius J Pinto
Very interesting! Jeremiah 33:3.

Do consider Jeremiah 6:16! I quoted it in a paper on Drawing which I
presented at the AUD, the American University in Dubai.
Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old
paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find
refreshment for your souls. And they said: we will not walk.
The above from  the *Douay-Rheims Bible*. Not sure whether I used KJV.

Thank you,

Re: [Goanet] Renaming India Bharat

2020-06-07 Thread Venantius J Pinto
My response to someone on a Facebook (G Awaaz ? ) page on the same topic.
with miniscule changes:
+
If you guys wish that it be so, then consider naming our nation, Bharat
Mata. A complete integral concept. Think of it. Then remember all the
stellar women whose skirts we have held onto to take our first steps.

Avoid changing the other symbols. After the name change is achieved, be
more swadeshi and provide such “suvidha.” Be leery of any politician who
talks with forked tongue. Buy an Indian made car, wear Indian materials,
skip Victoria’s Secret, etc. Perhaps we, or at least some have it in us to
rise high and to true heights?!

Reinforce a real and sustainable pride. Do not excuse the leaders who
promise but deliver more of the same crass development while lining their
pockets incessantly.

Understand what it is about the nature of the development thrust upon Goa,
that many cannot do without. Does everyone have to add their nail to the
coffin?!

Change your ways in all matters. Attempt egalitarianism.

Do not go the way of: Lokas shikve Bramadnyan aapnas korde paashand. Or:
Lokank shikoita Brahmachem ginyaan Aapun fat’ra  bhaxen/sarko thombo.

Understand matru, maitri, matrutva in the core sensibility of Bharat Mata.
Be benevolent. Try, try harder. Avoid a Kunti or Kaikeyi reality. Avoid
playing Krishna to Karna. There will surely be no residual “krodh” but
“kriya” in such a mindful reality.

Treat women and daughters fairly. Help prosecute rapists, and in Goa atone
for all those rapes of children. Make sure the gross filth had nothing to
do with the precious vote banks.

Finally give the putative flag design project to someone worthy. And btw, I
am around, an Indian by birth to design the flag. Do not as apparently
happening give it to an outside design company. Have some pride.

Ok, back to my cave now.

[Goanet] Kessó vistid gaillá ghô tuvem? Saibini mhojea, hó kazravistidu?

2020-06-07 Thread Sonia Gomes
At the top of the enormous tamarind tree laden with fruit, Agnel talks to
his four year old granddaughter down below,

‘Aghô Luiza kitt kortt ghô tum?’(*Luiza what are you doing?)*

‘Choi rhê Pai anv chinché botam punzaitam, Choilem?’(*Look at me Pai, I am
picking tamarind)*

‘Oi mughô bai, huim hai ghô tughellim chinché botam?’(*Of course my dear,
and where have you kept the tamarind dear?)*

‘Him choi hai murhê, ayem huntiyen borrun, zaitim kelleaim’(*Here they are,
I have collected them in my skirt)*

As they talk, Agnel keeps a sharp eye on Luiza, who is playing, intent on
making piles of the fallen tamarind.

‘Baié, chinché botam gheun kitt kortollem ghô tum?’(*Dear what are you
going to do with all that tamarind?)*

‘Pai, tuk bhori koddi kortollem, sungtam gann’(*Pai am going to make you a
curry, with prawns)*

They giggle and laugh in anticipation of a delicious curry cooked by
Luiza...

Just then an ugly shout destroys the peace of the morning...

‘Chedvá kitt kortt ghô tum?’ (*Girl what are you doing?)*

It was the Badkan of the Pinto Carvalho house...

With a start Agnel looks down, his tiny granddaughter has gathered tamarind
in the skirt of her dress... The Badkan advances towards Luiza who is
simply terrified and promptly drops all the tamarind from her skirt...

Luiza then bends down and picks up two tamarind pods, one for each little
fist.

The Badkan is annoyed, terribly so. ‘Urroi ghô tem chinché bót. Urroi
attam’ (*Throw the tamarind pod down, you girl. Throw it down now)*

Luiza looks at her and puts her closed fist behind her back...And then
looks at the Badkan.

Now the Badkan is terribly angry, she reaches and yanks Luiza’s little
hands to the front and forcibly removes the chinché bót from Luiza’s closed
fists.

‘Pai’ screams Luiza in anger and deep fear.

In a jiffy Agnel is at the bottom of the tree and picks up Luiza. ‘Baié
kitt zallem ghô? Kitt zalem? (*What has happened dear? What has happened?)*

He looks at the Badkan, ‘Kitt zalem Badkanni?’(*What has happened?)*

‘Tughem burghem malcriad, mughellim chinché bótam chortallem’ (*Your
daughter is badly brought up, she was robbing my tamarind pods)*

 ‘Chortallem?’(*Robbing?)*

‘Donn chinché bótam, anni Chór zalem?’(Two tamarind pods and she is a
thief?)

‘Sang rhê Agnel tuguellim thim chinché bótam ?’Chór zaum nha tugellem
cheddum?

(*Tell me Agnel, are they your tamarind pods? So isn’t your daughter a
thief*)

Agnel looks at her utterly saddened and terribly angry...

‘Badkani tughé cheddo kazar zatam nhu? Matt hea vorsa tughelli koddien
amott asschina’(Badkani I heard your son is about to be married, but there
will be no souring agent in your curry)

Agnel picks up his little granddaughter, vowing never to pluck fruit from
any of the trees of the house of such heartless people, who thought of
nothing, for whom even tiny amounts of money made such a difference.
