[Goanet] WILL THE GOVT WALKS ITS TALK
With the Goa government having now directed that every file must be cleared within three days, we will have to see how soon the Chief Secretary who is also the Chief Vigilance Officer acts on the report submitted by the Directorate of Vigilance after examining the complaint over the exorbitant expenditure incurred and the serious procedural lapses in holding that gala Swearing-in-ceremony of Goa Chief Minister and his eight Ministers which was held on March 28th at the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium in Bambolim. That 18 minute swearing in ceremony had cost the taxpayers a whopping Rs 5, 59, 25, 805 (Rupees five crore fifty nine lakhs twenty five thousand eight hundred five) while the Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) incurred expenditure of a further Rs 72, 21.972 (rupees seventy two lakhs twenty one thousand nine hundred and seventy two) on the 134 vehicles hired for VIPs and their security attending that swearing in ceremony. There was no transparency and accountability whatsoever in the holding of that event and the entire process of appointing the event management company M/S Vinsan Graphics was apparently stage-managed and a mere eye-wash. The Vigilance department needs to fix responsibility on those responsible for this colossal waste of public funds and loss to the exchequer on account of the inflated bills. Those guilty must be brought to book. Adv.

[Goanet] Listening to Putin (O Heraldo, 2/10/2022)
https://www.heraldgoa.in/Edit/By-invitation/Listening-to-Putin/194673 Prideful and ornery, and speaking directly to history, Vladimir Putin made an extraordinary global address earlier this week. At the Sept 30 Kremlin ceremony formally annexing four regions of Ukraine that the Russian military occupied after its invasion in February, the 69-year-old president – who has ruled unimpeded since 1999 – angrily indicted the prevailing international order: “All we hear from all sides is that the West stands for order based on rules. Where did they come from? Who even saw these rules? Who agreed? Listen, this is just some kind of nonsense, sheer deception, double or already triple standards! It’s just designed for fools.” If you go by what we are being bombarded with in the information wars, Russia is on the retreat in Ukraine, and this annexation is an acknowledgement of it. *The Guardian* editorialized: “Arguably, this was set in motion as soon as it became clear – days after the February invasion – that his plans to swiftly topple the Ukrainian government had failed. It became more likely once it was evident that Russia was faring badly on both military and diplomatic fronts, and that domestic discontent was stirring.” Whatever the case, we are witnessing dramatic escalation in an already alarming conflict, alongside further Russian mobilisation, and the mysterious sabotage of Nord Stream gas pipelines to Germany. This is literally an existential crisis - Putin keeps threatening the use of nuclear arms, and did so again on Friday. “The United States is the only country in the world to use nuclear weapons twice, destroying the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By the way, they set a precedent.” There’s an unmistakable pathos about Putin’s freewheeling diatribe, reminiscent of Saddam Hussain’s open letters to the world after 9/11, where he tried to argue against what was already inevitable: his country’s defeat and his own humiliation. Just like those missives, there’s an unusual truth-telling about the way the world actually works, from someone who intimately understands it: “It is the so-called West that has trampled on the principle of the inviolability of borders, and now, at its own discretion, decides who has the right to self-determination and who does not, who is not worthy of it. Why they decide so, who gave them such a right is not clear. To themselves.” Putin said “Western countries have been repeating for centuries that they bring freedom and democracy to other peoples. Everything is exactly the opposite: instead of democracy – suppression and exploitation; instead of freedom – enslavement and violence. The entire unipolar world order is inherently anti-democratic and not free, it is deceitful and hypocritical through and through.” Even now, “they actually occupy Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea and other countries, and at the same time cynically call them equal allies. Listen, I wonder what kind of alliance is this? This is a real shame. A shame both for those who do this and for those who, like a slave, silently and meekly swallow this rudeness.” What’s happening now, suggested Putin, is the beginning of the end of all of that. “The world has entered a period of revolutionary transformations of a fundamental nature. New development centres are being formed to represent the majority – the majority! – of the world community and are ready not only to declare their interests, but also to protect them, and see multipolarity as an opportunity to strengthen their sovereignty, which means to gain true freedom, a historical perspective, their right to independent, creative, original development, to a harmonious process. A liberating, anti-colonial movement against unipolar hegemony is already developing within the most diverse countries and societies. It is this force that will determine the future geopolitical reality.” To get some expert perspective on this fast-changing situation, I turned to Ajay Kamalakaran, the passionately Russophile writer who has strong ties with both Russia and Ukraine, and is general-secretary of the decades-old - but newly revived - India-Russia Friendship Society, a voluntary non-political initiative to build cultural, economic and spiritual ties between Indians and Russians (meaning all Russian speakers) which also has Ukrainian and American members. His excellent online newsletter "on life, culture, languages and history” is at ajaykamalakaran.substack.com. My friend – who made an impressive debut at the inaugural Liberty & Light Festival of Goa in Panjim earlier this year – remains constantly up-to-the-minute with Russia. He told me, “I read *Rossiyskaya Gazeta*, *RIA Novosti*, *Kommersant,* *Vedomosti*, and also websites that represent dissenting and opposition voices. The *Echo of Moscow* radio station is streamed daily on my laptop, wherever I am (this station tends to be highly sceptical of the government). The conflict, which felt distant in March
