[Goanet] Dr Alvaro Loyola Furtado.. A diamond amongst the pearls of Chinchinim
Dr. Loyola Furtado..A diamond among the pearls of Chinchinim Village Dr Alavaro Loyola Furtado, a much sought after , popular Medical Practitioner ,born on 23.5.1914, passed away at a relatively young age ,on 23 -8-1981.The attendance at the funeral, a sea humanity, ever witnessed was a tribute to his glorious, indelible memory among people of all works of life, Villagers, Patients, Medical professionals and politicians. Doctor was humane, understanding and was easily available when most needed. He started his practice at Chinchinim in 1946 after military service. He was popularly known as DR ALU. Profit was his least motive of his flourishing practice, as he served with dedication and love. He did not believe in short gun therapy, of loading patients with broad spectrum antibiotics for popularity, success and cure. He was a voracious reader of medical literature and I provided him with British Medical Journals, which he greatly relished. Dr. was a fulcrum of all Village activities and institutions, be it Communidade, Church, Schools, CRCC, and offered his premises for opening of first Fair price shop at a nominal rent. His considered opinions were very valuable. At a condolence meet in his honor the initial proposals to name a road by the side of his residence and to institute an award for medicine for Freguesia de Chinchinim did not receive the expected enthusiasm. However Prof..C.A Gomes, his ardent follower with perseverance, determination did institute the award, distributed annually to the Medical student. Due to lack of publicity, and funds, it has not been an annual award as was envisaged. However it is little consolation that the stretch of Road from St. Sebastiao Chapel to Assolna Bridge is named after him. It is to be noted that it was due to his efforts ,Assolna Bridge concept and vision as the vital link in the South was highlighted and proposed, accepted by authorities. In contrast the Dr.Inacio Loyola Road at Margao and busts of Dr.Minguel Loyola Furtado at Margao and Chinchinim Gardens are a firm reminder of contributions of Illustrious family of freedom fighters, journalists in Medical profession, originating from Orlim. Their family publications “Partido Indiano” and “A India Portuguesa “ were the earliest movements to sow the seeds of freedom struggle .Mr Teotonio Dsouza has paid glowing tributes to him in his essay “Scholars discovery of Goa, Dr Alvaro Loyola Furtado,a tribute from his fellow citizens.” Besides he is bestowed with Burma Campaign Medal, long service medals, war medal by Indian Medical services South East Asia command, where he served as a Captain for 4 years during world war II.. He is also honoured for his dedication to TB programme with honorific title: “Chief Ordem dos Medicos da India Portuguese” .Vassalo Silva, the last Portuguese Governor of Goa, at his persistence, restored full ownerships rights of tenants of Communidades and abolished rent .He was nicknamed as the member of anti Salazarist brigade at Margao. At a Goa liberation public meet 1946, he demanded autonomy to colonies In India but adamant Salazar was unfazed .He was member of the group that met Nehru to retain separate identity of Goa. Dr Alvaro was a linguist, fluent in English, Latin ,Portuguese and Konkanni. He did not rank among the orators. His treatises about First printing press in Asia and his knowledge about the declining Communidades 1961, and reforms of Communidades received wide recognition. He was member of drafting the tenants laws. Dr Alvaro was a historian, Journalist, social worker and shrewd politicians. He put Chinchinim on the political map of Goa after liberation, and became the first MLA from Chinchinim in then Navelim Constituency. He was the founder , responsible to unite 4 parties into UGP. He was the chief brain of UGP, drafting legislations and was listened to with rapt attention, when he delivered his learned messages. He parted ways with UGP in 1967 on the issue of Opinion poll .He wanted the poll to settle once and for all the issue of Goa as a separate State, but the poll did not offer that option for maintaining distinct identity and the wound was left to fester as we know the struggle for separate state and then Konkanni language. He worked tirelessly in South Goa to ensure against merger. I was his admirer in close touch with him during the period till he lost all 6 seats under UGP (F) “Sunrise” symbol after the historic opinion poll success. Doctor Alvaro was Mayor of Margao Muncipality for two years and served as pro bono publico .During his tenure he planned for network of municipal roads, framed rules ,regulations and put finances on sound footing and thus left his indelible mark on the administration of Margo Municipality. He resigned from the post as the administration was hurting his Nationalist feelings, He was instrumental in arranging the visitation of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima to Chinchinim, during break
[Goanet] Gymkhanas Of Bombay.
Citing various sources, Shanti Mhatre in her post on the Old Bombay group on FB gives us some interesting information. Gymkhanas in India are a British legacy. Derived from the Persion word "Jamatkhana" meaning a place of assembly, "Gymkhana" is an Anglo-Indian expression, its meaning altered to denote a place where skill-based contests were held. Most gymkhanas have a Gymkhana Club associated with them, a term coined during Raj for gentleman's club. More generally, gymkhana refers to a social and sporting club in the Indian subcontinent and in other Asian ex-British colonies: Burma, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia as well as in East Africa. In the 1890s, the British (Governor of Bombay) gave sea-facing plots on what was then known as the Kennedy Sea Face along Marine Lines to build six Gymkhana to promote sports and games. Parsi, Islam, Hindu, Catholic, Police and Grant Medical College on plots leased by the City Collector over 3.5 acres. The Parsi, Hindu and Islam Gymkhanas formed the Bombay Cricket Association, which was headquartered in the Islam Gymkhana until it shifted to the Cricket Club of India in 1942. During WWII, the government occupied the Islam and Parsi gymkhana forcing the adjacent Hindu Gymkhana to offer membership to non-Hindus as an "emergency measure". The Bombay Gymkhana was established in 1875, originally built as a British-only club, designed by English architect Claude Batley who also designed various well known buildings in Bombay. It is located at the south end of Azad Maidan. The Princess Victoria Mary Ladies Gymkhana was set up in 1909 to provide separate space for women to organize social events. Wodehouse Gymkhana was started in 1909 as Bombay Commercial Gymkhana. Its name was changed in 1935 to commemorate Sir Philips Wodehouse, the Governor of Bombay from 1872-75. Initially, Indians weren’t allowed inside the club even as guests. It was only at the time of India’s freedom struggle that started taking Indian members in. The Japanese Gymkhana was located in the Cooperage along the same line as the Princess Victoria & Mary Ladies Gymkhana and the former Bombay Presidency Gymkhana (today’s Wodehouse Gymkhana) opposite the Cooperage football grounds. The exact location, however, has not been identified. At the turn of the 20th century, British India was home to about 3,000 Japanese expatriates, and Bombay and its presidency had well-established trade ties starting in 1858 with Imperial Japan – until the Second World War brought it all to an end. The Parsi Gymkhana opened in 1888 built primarily for Parsis, for sports as well as social activities. It was founded by Parsi cricketers and was famous for hosting Bombay Quadrangular and Bombay Pentangular cricket tournaments. The Wilson College Gymkhana was inaugurated in 1910 by Sir John Muie-McKenzie. A pavilion was added in 1916 with a grant from Sir Shapurji Bharucha and inaugurated by Lord and Lady Willingdon. The gymkhana provides its students the infrastructure to enjoy campus games and train for Inter-Collegiate tournaments The German Gymkhana was at Marine Lines for Germans who lived in the Backbay area (thanks to the post by Irach Taraporewala) OTHER MUMBAI GYMKHANAS The PJ Hindu Gymkhana was formally founded in the year 1894 by the Governor of Bombay. However, it was started by some young enthusiasts in 1878 as the Hindu Cricket Club when they saw that the Parsi community of Bombay was making progress in the game of cricket Islam Gymkhana was established in 1890. Until 1942, the gymkhana was the headquarters of the Bombay Cricket Association of which it is a founding member. Grant Medical College Gymkhana Catholic Gymkhana was started in 1912 accepting the then Governmor’s offer of a site for a Catholic Gymkhana. Matunga Gymkhana was inaugurated in 1932. It was started in 1927 as the Matunga Kreeda Mandal for physical by four young Matunga residents who wanted better health and sports facilities for the youth. Bandra Gymkhana and Khar Gymkhanas started in 1935 The Willingdon Catholic Gymkhana started off as a small clubhouse for Catholic residents of Santacruz in 1928. primarily to promote fellowship among its members through social activities The Mulund Gymkhana is a Public Trust established in 1983 in the eastern suburbs for sportsmen Apologies if any were left out inadvertently.

[Goanet] NOW BJP FLAG IS HOISTED AT THE STATE INFORMATION COMMISSION TOO
The skewed manner in which the Goa Government selected the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) and the State Information Commissioner (SIC) comes as no surprise. As both these posts carry a very handsome monthly salary of Rs 2, 25,000 each, besides other perks, it was imperative that the best and brightest should have been chosen for these coveted positions. Besides the 32 candidates who applied for the post of CIC and the 25 for SIC, there were definitely many more qualified meritorious individuals. Eminence in public life as required and a very sound knowledge of law should have been the guiding factor in selection for these vital posts. The selection for any post has to be always free, fair, transparent and not vitiated by political inter meddling. Failure to do so erodes the faith and trust of the very people it is designed to serve. Despite Section 15 (6) of the Right to Information Act specifically mandating that the CIC and SIC should not be connected with any political party, we now have a CIC who is a former Speaker and a very prominent active leader of the ruling BJP. Even if he now resigns from his deep roots with that party it would not pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. That after occupying that high August Chair as Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly he chose to stoop to be CIC is another issue. Unfortunately, politicians today don’t work towards moving upwards, they sink to any levels to grab any and every Chair possible. The RTI Act is a powerful and potent tool to expose corruption and maladministration, and in this direction an independent and effective Information Commission is a vital mechanism that has to be in place. To ensure proper implementation of the Act, the Information Commission should comprise of independent minded persons of integrity, who would not succumb to the pressures and pulls of politicians in power. Their primary focus must be to defend the rights and liberty of individuals to have access to information, files and documents pertaining to the Governmental operations, performance and decisions. The all important Institution of Lokayukta, Human Rights Commission, State Information Commission and Police Complaints Authority are all bodies constituted by law and each one of them has a purpose besides a clear mandate. A lot of public money is spent in running these authorities constituted to deliver justice to the citizens and bring to book the wrong doers. So by keeping politicians at bay and to ensure true independence in their functioning, it would be proper to entrust the High Court the meticulous selection of non-partisan very qualified persons with integrity to man these bodies efficiently and serve the society.

[Goanet-News] Remembering Dom... by F.S. Aijazuddin (The Dawn, Karachi)
Fighting the stone F.S. Aijazuddin fsaijazudd...@gmail.com The Dawn, Karachi Published February 4, 2021 AFTER spotting a reference to the poet Dom Moraes in my article on Ved Mehta, a thoughtful reader wrote to tell me that he owned a copy of Dom's first book The Grass is Greener (1951). It was published when he was only 13 years old. Its subject was not poetry, for which he later became world famous, but cricket. Its frayed dust jacket describes him as possessing "an amazing precocity". Curiously, Dom never mentions it in any of his autobiographies, except in a casual aside in Never At Home (1996). At the age of 12, Dom received his first prize as the best commentator in a cricket match between the Commonwealth XI and India XI in 1950-51. At the age of 18, while still at Oxford, he won the more coveted Hawthornden Prize for his slim anthology of poems A Beginning (1961). Dom, like his Goan Roman Catholic father Frank Moraes (editor of The Times of India and later Indian Express), thought in English, expressed himself in English, and yearned to live in England. He was forced to survive in an India with 1,000 dialects, none of which he understood. Dom Moraes was forced to survive in an India with 1,000 dialects. After his spectacular debut at Oxford, Dom spent erratic years, as he said of a fellow poet, "commanding new pyramids of words/ such as he had erected when young". The next lines applied equally to Dom's own life: "But Fitzpatrick's sharp tongue/ had swollen with drink; what had rung like an icicle/now like a clapper with no bell swung: had grown adipose / prosing the days away." The first book of his I read was his partly true, partly imagined, wholly mischievous travelogue Gone Away: An Indian Journey (1960) — his version of a journey he made with Ved Mehta. I became an addict. Until I was able to visit India for myself, I saw it primarily through his eyes. His articles leapt me across the world — to New York, Hong Kong, Bhutan, Algeria, South Africa, even deep in the Indonesian forest to shake hands with the unwashed Dani tribe of cannibals. The list of his interviewees was astonishing: the Dalai Lama, "a stalwart young man with rosy cheeks and what seemed a permanent smile"; Mother, now St Teresa; Philippine president Marcos and his over-ambitious wife Imelda; Bob Guccione (the founder of the soft-porn Penthouse magazine); and the Israeli prime minister (‘The Lion of Judah') David Ben-Gurion. In 1961, Dom covered the trial in Tel Aviv of the former Nazi SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann trial, whom the Israelis had kidnapped from Buenos Aires in May 1960. Viewing his subject (a symbol of the Holocaust) through a glass partition, Dom described him as "very ordinary, a thin man, bald and bespectacled". Dom met his journalist's quota of Indian leaders: I.K. Gujral, Morarji Desai, the Gandhian facsimile Vinoba Bhave whom Moraes interviewed without success on Bhave's day of silence, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. To Moraes, Nehru appeared "beautiful and sensitive", until he removed his white Gandhi cap: "A grotesque element entered his appearance; he then resembled a bald schoolboy." His friendship with Nehru's daughter Mrs Indira Gandhi swung like a pendulum. Out of power, she encouraged Dom to write her biography. In power, she resumed "not one mask, but a series of them behind which her identity lay, quiveringly sensitive". He finished the book. She disowned it, killing it with "an icy stare". My wife Shahnaz and I had been admirers of Dom's writings for years. When in 1996, during a visit to Mumbai, we learned that he and his wife Leela Naidu lived in a flat close to the Taj Hotel where we were staying, we took the chance to meet him. The entrance to their flat was partially barricaded by a discarded bathtub. We rang the bell. Leela answered. She was no longer the "passion flower", the glamorous actress who had taken Mumbai's filmy firmament by storm. She looked worn and defensive. Dom emerged reluctantly. He would have preferred not to meet two persistent Pakistanis, however adulatory, but on overhearing our references through the half-open door, he relented. The next and last time we met him was in the flat of the filmmaker Basu Bhattacharya. Gulzar joined us with a tape of Lata Mangeshkar's freshly recorded song for his film Maachis. Dom had separated from Leela by then. He had the architect Sarayu Shrivatsa as his companion and literary collaborator. An irredeemable alcoholic, Dom died in 2004, of cancer, on my birthday. The gift he left me and to millions like me are a poet's feelings, wrapped within words. Whoever has attempted to mount the Bucephalus of poetry will understand the challenge, as he did, of "making the poem, taking the word from the stream,/ Fighting the sand for speech, fighting the stone".

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 16, Issue 84 INDIAN CONSTITUTION
DEMOCRACY IN PERIL Ideal Democracy, Constitutional Democracy, Dictatorial Democracy, Nationalistic Democracy and so on. Democracy is not perfect, but the best we have to try to keep the rich and powerful in check by an elected government and legislation for law and order. Governments must never be permitted to become too powerful and kept in check! Basically it must reckon with human nature, ground realities and be participative. For which we have given ourselves a Constutution which Constitutional Democracy is not alien just because it is enlightened by those of the best western practices. We had to do that after the horrors and mess of partion and we had to grow into a democracy? Rihanna and Greta tweet something and we go beserk! Why are we so touchy, arrogant, hypocritical, stubborn? Trumpism has left its mark on America and the world. The farmers agitation for months in the bitter cold and even rain, and the now fortification of Delhi with barbed wires, road concrete blocks and whatnot, the basic peaceful protest never seen in India politicized, demonized and false propaganda of "world conspiring to defame India" with a Hinditva and communal narrative going on, will have conscientious people world wide discussing it as live scenes go there on television . Yes we must have farm laws relevant to India and if there is no meaningful discussion with professionals, stake holders, intellectuals, Opposition, scientists and the citizens who eventuall pay for it all, where are we going?
[Goanet] SOCIAL DISTANCING IN BUSES HAS GONE FOR A TOSS
With still an average of 75 COVID-19 cases surfacing every day, it should be a matter of concern. The authorities have to be vigilant and they should not be slack in enforcing the government guidelines. The Government cannot conveniently flag the COVID -19 card when it suits them. The pandemic was cited as a reason to postpone Municipal elections but it has permitted Carnival at Panaji & Margao. If it is safe to have it in these two cities why not have it also at Mapusa, Vasco, Ponda and Pernem too. It is sometimes difficult to comprehend government’s weird line of thinking. We are sadly witnessing a total breach of social distancing in public buses across Goa including those of the State owned Kadamba Transport Corporation. The onus is on the Transport and Traffic authorities to crack the whip and ensure that the virus is not spread while people travel in packed buses. Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho who is in a rush to implement the amended Motor Vehicles Act, should instead on a priority ensure that social distancing is strictly observed in all buses across the State. This will of course cause financial hardship to the private bus owners for whom the government would have to work out some subsidy to ensure that people safely travel in the buses during this vicious pandemic.

[Goanet] DEMOCRACY IN THE WEST
The word 'Democracy' is perhaps one of the most misunderstood, misused and abused term in political discussion. How should we understand the term? Let's look at the West first. Democracy today does not refer to any particular arrangement of political or economic institutions. It is meant to be an ideal form of government to aim for but no scheme for achieving it is laid down. In the West, it is defined as a form of government in which power is vested in the people but exercised via elected representatives. Note that the definition is restricted to representative democracy found in the capitalist countries of the West and their followers like India. There is no mention of the real thing – participatory democracy in which people play an active role in decision-making. In the West, people are allowed to choose from a pre-selected list of representatives every 4 or 5 years. These reps have been selected not by consulting the people but political parties over which they have no control. The winning party forms the government but the people have no power to monitor its performance. In Britain, they elect members of Parliament (MPs) but thereafter they are not accountable to those who elected them. So who are they accountable to? Answer: the political party to which members belong. It is the party machine that controls the MPs and keeps them in line. As for the annual party conference, this is just an annual charade organised to create an illusion of participation by the party membership. NEO LIBERALISM Who then has power over the party machine? Answer; the capitalist class, the owners of the means of production & communication. In the West, it is not public opinion that shapes policies but the business elites. Way back in 1890, Mary Lease, leader of the US People’s (Farmers) Party, had warned: We have a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street and for Wall Street. In the 1970s a new economic theory (now called neo-liberalism) was created by the Chicago School to further advance the interests of big business. This doctrine advocates the primacy of the market for making economic decisions and a minimal role for the state. In other words, the neo-liberals believe that the economy should control society and not the other way round. As a result, the nature of the state has changed, it is no longer a welfare state that looks after its people but a market-state which looks after big business. No western leader can afford to ignore the demands of the big bosses and their corporations. It is big business that can provide investment and fund the political campaigns. If a party is not friendly to the investor class, the latter threaten capital flight. Neo-liberalism has downgraded western democracy – politics & parliament, it attacks social welfare & collective action. Parliament serves more as a decorative institution, passing on decisions already made in business organizations… The capitalist class is fanatical about protecting their assets and privileged status from threats from the working class. They are terrified of collective action. They therefore expect the government to curb union activity and be firm on issues of Law & Order. As a result, the state has created institutions like the civil service, police, courts, prisons, secret service. The elites associated with these institutions - senior civil servants, police, prison & security chiefs, judges are all appointed by the government, not elected. Yet, they wield more real power than MPs and discourage the people from being over politicised. In addition, the capitalist class demands a favourable investment climate abroad. This is achieved by setting up client regimes (like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar) in resource-rich regions and removing (by coups or military action) any leaders (like Saddam Hussein of Iraq) that get too independent. Thus the major western countries maintain strong armed forces and military spending remains high. Some 200 years ago in Britain, debates and decisions in parliament were restricted to the rich and landowning class. The rest had no say. It was not until 1928 that all adults including women were given the right to vote. But the more the ruling class were forced to widen the vote base, the more the real centres of power were removed from people’s influence such as the civil service, the judiciary, the police & defence establishment. Successive governments have increasingly cramped democratic decision making. Decisions are now settled in government committees and even backbenchers have no control over them. New style council cabinets work in collusion with unelected quangos to control spending. The following are unelected: members of House of Lords, Privy Council, judges, top civil servants, army, police & secret service chiefs. These people have more real power than elected members of parliament. PARTCIPATORY DEMOCRACY The role of citizens is now basically to pick
