[Goanet] India-China Hostility

[Roland Francis]

A CNN analysis of the genesis and present causes of the dispute between India 
and China.

Like the India-Pakistan thorn, it too will never go away. And you can’t blame 
the British for this one!

Why are China and India fighting over an inhospitable strip of the Himalayas?

[Goanet] A letter to Vavradeancho Ixtt about Racism and Caste-ism

[augusto pinto]

Goans aren't very good at responding to criticism. And when someone points
out their mistakes they are too scared to deal with criticism.

Last week on Vavradeancho Ixtt I read two articles which were very racist.

I sent a letter to the editor of Vavradeancho Ixtt, a Br. E. Miranda a
letter criticising those articles with a cc to Walter Menezes to help in
case my Konkani had mistakes. I'll give you my letter below in English
translation below.

Dear Br. Miranda,

In the 13th June issue of Vavradeancho Ixtt there were 2 articles related
to African or people whose origins are related to people of African origin.

One was by one Rui Aleixo Coelho, entitled 'Khapreachem Jivit' (meaning
'the Life of a Khapri) and the second was ''Kalu' hem vaitt utor? ' (is
Kalu a bad word?). The author of the second article was not disclosed.

Coelho writes that a President of America was a' khapri' (sic). His name
was Abraham Lincoln.

I told Miranda that most scholars regard this information given by Coelho
was dubious quoting 2 links:

https://www.npr.org/sections/newsandviews/2008/06/andrew_jackson_thomas_jefferso.html

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_heritage_of_presidents_of_the_United_States

Then I told Miranda that I didn't want to continue with the issue as to
whether American presidents were African or not.

But I went on to question Miranda as to how he allowed Coelho to use the
word 'khapri'.

I said that I didn't know whether Coelho knew whether the the Konkani word
'khapri' was derived from the Portuguese 'cafre' or from the Afrikaans
'kaffir' both of which are regarded as being offensive to Africans or
people of African origin.

Then I questioned Miranda regarding the person who on his sports page
wrote: 'What's wrong in calling someone' Kalu'? He's not white. So what's
wrong in speaking the truth?

I told Miranda that his writer had no business addressing people with
appellations which they find insulting. I told him, "Your writer says -
what's wrong in calling a spade a spade?"

I explained to Miranda why one can't call anyone whatsoever he cared. I
reminded him that in the old days the elite referred to discriminated
groups of people as 'mhars', 'chamars' or 'gauddos'.

I told him that now these groups of people find such words insulting. One
cannot say, "What's wrong in speaking the truth?" This is a wrong attitude.
One cannot use words which disadvantaged people feel insulted by.

My letter was not published by Br. Miranda in the recent Vavradeancho Ixtt.

Which brings me back to what I began this letter with: Goans aren't very
good at responding to criticism. And when someone points out their mistakes
they are too scared to deal with criticism.

[Goanet] Fwd: We’ll Meet Again

[Aloysius D'Souza]

Thanks Roland

Yes Vera Lynn was sweet-heart of every man (and woman) in the Army, Navy
and Air Forces of the British and the colonial forces and also of all of us
waiting for news of our men and women at the front-lines in Europe, Africa,
Burma and Malaysia --  her songs and also her appearances at the various
war fronts kept the men going in spite of the difficulties.  In the films
of some of her concerts you can actually see grown men with tears in their
eyes while joining her in her songs.

There is an entire group of videos of Vera Lynn and her tour of the front
lines during WW II.

I attended a concert at the NAAFI* Hall (which was the cinema hall of St
Xavier's Calcutta requisitioned by the British Government) where she
performed specifically for the various armed forces located in and around
Calcutta.   Mum had managed to get us a special pass.

I am sure she was singly responsible for raising the morale of our fighting
forces.

Long live her memory in her songs.

Cheers

Aloysius

The British press sadly announces the death of Dame Vera Lynn at age 103.

[Goanet] SOCIALIZING DIFFERENCES

[John Eric Gomes]

TIME FOR UNITY AND CLARITY
We needed Corona and the Chinese to get BJP to undeniably confront reality, not 
suppress criticism, show empathy for all parties promoting democratic unity 
preparing for the real challenges by unifying our nation with the united power 
of 1.3 billion people which we need to put first and dump the pollitics of 
polarization, grandure and illusion, which frankly are taking us on the wrong 
path! Lets admit small minds tear others down rather than build themselves up 
shunning concealment, dishonesty and "whataboutery" rather than helping critics 
rid themselves of their anger/ accusations by no excuses but by honest 
explanations being calm and rational in public interest! "Be vocal for local" 
but we find on the day of Ladak encounter,  Great Wall Motors  sign $1 billion 
contract for an automobile plant in Maharashtra, and STEC (another Chinese 
Company) Rs1.26 crores for Delhi Meerut RRTS line? There is a wrong notion that 
just because the BJP has won elections and is a majority in Parliament, 
dismantling all the checks and balances making the Opposition and the people in 
general irrelevant is justified. The PM says he is at talking to all parties, 
but finds some reason to keep Kejriwal out from the video conferencing? Why not 
let us all trustfully unite ( without exception) to confront these two 
dangerous enemies to the security and benefit of all Indians who make up this 
great nation. Surely now Modi realizes at leant now, what Nehru felt when China 
attacked after we all sang "Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai!".

[Goanet] SITA VALLES - AwaaZ Magazine

[Roland Francis]

An excellent review of the Frederick Noronha-published book Sita Valles by you 
in the Kenya Awaaz journal, Adolfo. 

Although I have not read the book itself (I will correct that) your review gave 
me a good setting of the background. I enjoyed it. I knew a little of the 
African political context from a young age, but enough to admire your grasp of 
it.

By the way wasn’t it Mario Soares who followed Marcel Caetano in Portugal? 
There was a slight slip in your sentence construction making it appear as 
Franco.

I am in due course going to read the Awaaz articles on Indian cinema and Goan 
bands in Africa. A cursory glance at them, tells me they will be interesting.

[Goanet] Dame Vera Lynn

[Roland Francis]

It is always pleasant to encounter good memories and nostalgia for some 
colonial times - whether British raj or Portuguese saudade.

Goanetter Aloysius D’Souza sends me the following email: 

“Yes Vera Lynn was the sweet-heart of every man (and woman) in the Army, Navy 
and Air Forces of the British and the colonial forces and also of all of us 
waiting for news of our men and women at the front-lines in Europe, Africa,

Francis your message dated: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 09:23:57 -0400

Francis I have an  important revelation. You do not have to wait for the
African Jr of Political Science.  The latest edition of AWAAZ which came
out in March 2020 has one version. . <<<>>>



I was surprised because I had sent them a review article longish in the
same spirit I had previously written for them when I wrote the article on
Judy Luis Watson’s book on Goan Bands and the Dawn of the Jazz Age.
Basically they had written to me to say it was too long, it had several
illustrations .etc  I suspected something else. A couple of nights ago I
was answering a query on my late wife on womens rights. ..and up pops Awaaz
!!!

Re: [Goanet] Mendes, Errol P. | Faculty of Law | University of Ottawa

[John Nazareth]

Prof Errol Mendes is an outstanding personality in Ottawa.
I found out about him a few years back while working on a genealogy project.
A group of us, spearheaded by a young man from Bedford UK - Richard De Souza - 
had been mapping the family tree network of the Village of Moira (based on its 
5 vangods/clans).
Turned out that Errol (5th vangod of Moira) was related to some of our friends 
in the Toronto area.
That's when I first heard about his impact in our national capital.

Incidentally, I should mention a thing that people are probably not aware about.
The first Goan to be elected to a Provincial/Federal parliament in Canada was 
Professor Leonard Preyra.
He was elected to the provincial legislature of Nova Scotia (2006) and became a 
Minister of Communities, Culture, and Heritage in the NDP government.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Preyra#:~:text=Leonard%20Preyra%20(born%20February%2010,Assembly%20from%202006%20to%202013.
(Just to be sure, I emailed him and confirmed that he is a Goan.)

Cheers

John
