[Goanet] Notable Goan Firsts

[Roland Francis]

From today’s TOI newsletter.

Goa. The state became the first in India to stop providing subsidies to 
electric vehicles (EV) with effect from July 31. Spread over an area of 3,702 
sq km, the state was home to the country’s first printing press — which was 
established in September, 1556 by Jesuit Missionaries and it functioned in the 
colegio de Sao Paulo at Old Goa — as also the first medical college, the Escola 
Médica-Cirúrgica de Nova Goa, now known as the Goa Medical College and 
Hospital, which was set up in 1842. It was also Asia’s first modern allopathic 
medical teaching institute.

[Goanet] LET US HOPE THE NEW PRESIDENT WILL NOT BE ANOTHER RUBBER STAMP

[Aires Rodrigues]

In his farewell address to the nation, Ram Nath Kovind has stressed the
need to protect our environment for future generations. The now former
President needs to himself introspect what he has done in this direction
during his tenure. He has been a very passive spectator to the various
crises our nation has been facing.



As President of our country he should have been vocal on issues that
matter. The President is the first citizen and the head of the State. He
has an important role in the country’s governance as the executive powers
of the Union are vested in him and is part of the Union Executive. But he
has not intervened on even the attempts to divide us by hate speeches by
those fringe elements with the support of the ruling party.  Ram Nath
Kovind has silently watched the autonomy of the Reserve Bank, Election
Commission and other vital institutions being dismantled.



The office of President of India can no longer be an ornamental position as
he or she has a constitutional role to play in the discharge of varied
duties. The Nation expects the President to be proactive and not a rubber
stamp. We will now have to wait and see how Droupadi Murmu performs as the
Constitutional head of our Nation.



The yard stick that people will use to judge the performance of our
Presidents is illustrated with the wise words of Martin Luther King Jr ‘The
ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and
convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy’.

[Goanet-News] 1 The Opening up of the Inquisition's Archives and Statistics (Alan Machado Prabhu)

[Goanet Reader]

1 The Opening up of the Inquisition's Archives and Statistics

Writing the history of Goa's Inquisition involves a balancing
act and an unbiased evaluation of primary archival data, not
selective repetitions of earlier histories compiled largely
from secondary sources and peppered by personal biases.
Fortunately, the modern historian can easily access a large
volume of recently digitized primary documents in global
archives.

Goa's Inquisition survived for 252 years with a short break
of four years in between.  The first inquisitors arrived in
Goa in December 1560.  The Inquisition operated from the
Sabayo Palace until the king ordered its closure in 1774.  It
was reinstated in April 1778, but permanently closed in June
1812.

The inquisitors recorded the proceedings of every case and
preserved them in a secure room (secreto) in accordance with
the directives of the Regimento, its governing rules.
Inventories of all case files were made in 1623 and 1774.
They are preserved along with many other documents in
Lisbon's Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (ANTT) and the
Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal.

The process of identifying globally available archival
sources began in the 1970s.  Many of them are available
online today.  Written in Portuguese, their fading lines tell
much of the true story of Goa's Inquisition.

The ANTT contains auto-da-fe lists from Goa dating from 1650
to 1801, complete process files, correspondence, and much
else.  The Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (Lisbon) preserves
case details from 1561-1623 compiled by Inquisitor Figueira,
and a number of auto-da-fe lists not available at the ANTT
compiled by Antonio Moreira.  The Biblioteca Nacional do
Brasil (Rio de Janeiro) preserves copies of decrees, royal
permits, regulations, edicts of faith, private edicts, lists
of defendants, and correspondence dating from the sixteenth
to nineteenth century.  Other crates are still being
catalogued and digitized.

Here are some statistics compiled by me from these documents:

• Numbers: 18,986 persons investigated.  This number is
  17% higher than the oft-quoted figure given by Antonio
  Baiao in 1945.

• Socially deprived members of society comprised the
  highest percentage of those sentenced.  Of 6,424
  persons convicted between 1650 and 1773 (for which
  details are available), 66% came from lesser privileged
  castes and professions.  During the time of
  intensifying economic and military reverses between
  1685 and 1736, the Inquisition shifted its focus to the
  Provincia do Norte, and these numbers touched 71%.

• Non-Christians constituted 25%, with 88% of these cases
  conducted between 1685 and 1736, the period of
  intensifying Maratha conflicts.  The North, with 86% of
  cases, was particularly badly affected.  Offences
  related mostly to defying the ban on the public
  practice of gentile rituals which was seen as
  undermining Christianity and the security of the State.
  Whipping was a common punishment.  Other punishments
  included terms in the gun powder factory or galleys,
  exile, and fines.  Some escaped by converting, and 4%
  were absolved.  Except in the case of two Muslims (from
  Bijapur and Belgaum) burnt for sodomy in 1612, there is
  no record of any non-Christian being executed.

• At least 287 priests, about 1.5% of the total number,
  were investigated and punished for various offences,
  like heresy, which were seen as undermining
  Christianity.

• The number physically executed in 136 autos-da-fe for
  which details are known is 177.  The effigies of a
  further 154 were burnt, the convicted being absent or
  dead.

For more you will need to read the book, or even better,
access and research the numerous primary source documents
preserved in global archives.

[Goanet] Indian Fascism

[Roland Francis]

A diary of misdeeds by Darshan Mondcar.

Right now in India: 

- 19 MPs of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha have been suspended for 
"willfully obstructing the house" making this the biggest suspension ever in 
the history of parliament.

- Rahul Gandhi and several (close to 40+) senior leaders of the Congress have 
been detained by the Police for exercising their Right To Protest. 

- Congress leader Sonia Gandhi is being grilled by the ED in the National 
Herald case.

- Uddhav Thackeray's appeal in the Supreme Court about his party's control is 
being pushed to further dates.

- Margaret Alva, the opposition candidate for Vice President had her mobile 
suddenly suspended as she called the politicians for support.

- Srinivas BV gets roughed up, his hair pulled and dragged into the vehicle by 
the cops.

- Mohammad Zubair just got released after spending 23 days in jail on a 
complaint filed by an anonymous Twitter handle 

The opposition voices are being muzzled.

The opposition leaders are being detained, suspended, jailed.

State Govts are being toppled on money power and the pleas made to the court 
are being postponed for a hearing.

Anyone who speaks to challenge the Govt is being thrown into jail on the 
flimsiest of the reasons. 

And you still think we are not in a State of Emergency

Disclaimer: While the media makes a National Issue out of Ranveer Singh's bum 
and the Government is pushing the people to hoist their nationalism on their 
homes in yet another designed nautanki, it is up to the sane minded social 
media people to be the voice of the oppressed. SPEAK OUT !
