[Goanet] BRAVE BATTLERS ALL
As we grow older, We, little by little, feel colder. However, we also get bolder: For, being granted a licence to moulder, Whilst fighting amnesia and sciatica. We don't care about weeping on anybody else's shoulder. We just hope on to soldier Like the Marine on the Afghan border. He decides to get on the list of Purple Heart winners By becoming bolder and bolder Fighting his guerrilla brother At midnight with her garb shining psychedelic technicolor. The Marine's Sister is a Greenwich Villager. A hippie painter, She sketches and colours the khaki-clad Taliban battler Who @ dawn places a flower Behind his right ear and like a ghostly figure Composes poems + songs and becomes a dancer But @ dawn the Pakistani pray-er fights like a princely prancer. Although he knows that the end may be near, He has no fear Despite the danger Of becoming cannon fodder For as long as he fights like a Himalayan tiger, A hitter/runner, He is, as he melts away in the ether, An elusive creature. -- Martinho de Souza -
[Goanet] Passage to India
Hi, All! INDIA IS A LAND OF CONTRASTS: SLUMS ALONGSIDE SHRINES, GRINDING POVERTY ALONGSIDE OBSCENE WEALTH, PAVEMENTDWELLERS ALONGSIDE 5-STAR HOTELS, BEAUTIFUL GARDENS ALONGSIDE UGLY OPEN DRAINS. IF HE/SHE WISHES TO SEE TEMPLES, A FOREIGN TOURIST MUST GO TO INDIA. IF HE/SHE WISHES TO SEE CHURCHES, A FOREIGN TOURIST MUST GO TO GOA. BON VOYAGE! Martinho

THERE ARE CERTAIN GEOPOLITICIANS WHO CLAIM THAT BECAUSE SHE IS PART OF THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT, GOA SHOULD BE SWALLOWED UP BY NEOIMPERIALISTIC INDIA. TELL THIS TO POLITICAL ENTITIES OF PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH, ASSAM, LESBELA, ETC., AND CHECK THE REACTION. THE FACT IS THAT INDIA SHOULD QUIT GOA IMMEDIATELY AND PAY COMPENSATION TO THE NAISSANT FREE STATE OF GOA FOR THE OCCUPATION AND EXPLOITATIOBN OF OUR COUNTRY SINCE 1961.

CATHOLICISM HAS HAD A BENIGH EFFECT ON NOT MERELY GOAN CATHOLICS BUT ALSO ON GOAN HINDUS AND GOAN MUSLIMS AND EVEN SELF-STYLED 'SEEKERS', ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, 'FREETHINKERS', ETC., NOW PARADING THEIR IGNORANCE IN GOA. IN FACT, GOAN HINDUS + GOAN MUSLIMS HAVE ABSORBED CATHOLIC MORES AND PHILOSOPHY BY OSMOSIS; THEY ARE MORE TOLERANT AND BROADMINDED THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS OUTSIDE OUR GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND. SO TOLERANT ARE GOAN HINDUS AND GOAN MUSLIMS THAT THEY DON'T HESITATE TO VISIT OLD GOA AND PRAY TO ST. FRANCIS XAVIER WHOM THEY REVERE AND HONOUR. SO TOO GOAN CATHOLICS IN GOA VISIT TEMPLES AND MOSQUES FOR WEDDINGS OR OUT OF A SENSE OF CULTURAL CURIOUSITY. VERILY OUR CATHOLIC FAITH IS THE REASON WHY WE GOAN CATHOLICS ARE ABLE TO LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY WITH OUR HINDU AND MUSLIM COMPATRIOTS IN GOA.

THUS, INDIA IS EXPORTING WHAT SHE CONSIDERED HER SOCIAL REFUSE TO A COUNTRY SHE HAS OCCUPIED SINCE 1961. EVEN IF, OUT OF A SENSE OF CHRISTIAN COMPASSION, LITTLE GOA WISHES TO TACKLE THE SOCIAL PROBLEMS CREATED BY THE BUSLOADS AND CATTLEWAGONS OF HUMAN CARGO ARRIVING HOURLY, OUR LAND HASN'T THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER RESOURCES TO DEAL WITH INDIA'S HUMAN 'TRASH'. FOR MORE THAN 400 YEARS, GOA HAD BEEN A PARADISE INHABITED WITH PEACEFUL AND HAPPY PEOPLE: THERE WERE NO GUTTERSNIPES OR PAVEMENTDWELLERS. SINCE 1961 ALL THIS HAS CHANGED: INDIA'S 'MISFITS' ARE BEING TRANSPORTED OR BEING ENCOURAGED TO EXPORT THEMSELVES SO THAT INDIA'S GREEDY HANDS ARE FREE TO GRAB THE NATURAL WEALTH NOT ONLY OF GOA BUT ALSO OF JUMMA, KASHMIR, LES BELA, ASSAM AND OTHER COUNTRIES OCCUPIED BY HER. YES, IMPERIALISM TODAY IS NOT ONLY WHITE: IT'S BROWN AS IN THE CASE OF INDIA'S OCCUPYING AND BULLYING OTHER COUNTRIES. UNLESS, THE INFLOW OF INDIA'S HUMAN TRASH IS IMMEDIATELY HALTED, GOA WILL BE A MEGADUMP OR A VOLCANIC DUNGHILL CREATED BY INDIA'S HEARTLESS POLICY TOWARDS HER OWN EXPLOITED PROLETARIATE. FURTHER, INDIA'S CONSPIRACY OF 'WASTEDISPOSAL' WILL CAUSE LITTLE GOA SUFFERING FROM SEVERE POLITICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC HEADACHES.

YOUR INPUT IS EXCELLENT BUT THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF CONFUSION AMONG A HANDFUL OF CATHOLIC GOANS WHO ARE MISLEADING OTHER HINDU + MUSLIM GOANS. THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOUR WAS NOT PREVALENT IN GOA PRIOR TO THE 1961 OCCUPATION BY 'NON-VIOLENT IMPERIALISTIC INDIA. PRE-1961, GOANS OF ALL CREEDS FRATERNIZED: WHATEVER THERE RELIGION, THEY VISITED ONE ANOTHER, HELPED ONE ANOTHER, PARTYED TOGETHER AND DID NOT WASTE THEIR TIME IN HAIR-SPLITTING AND INSULARITY. TODAY'S TREND IN RELIGIOUS ANOMOSITY IS A PRODUCT OF THE OCCUPYING COUNTRY'S "DIVIDE AND RULE" POLICY, THE AGENTS PROVOCATEUR'S BEING THE HINDU FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO WORK HARD TO CREATE DISUNITY AND DISHARMONY. YES, IT'S ONE BIG CONSPIRACY. PRIOR TO THE 1961 INVASION, EVEN HINDUS AND MUSLIMS IN GOA WERE INDIRECTLY INFLUENCED BY CATHOLICISM: THEIR VALUES AND CULTURE WERE CHRISTIAN AND AS SUCH THEY RECEIVED BY REMOTE SPIRITUAL CONTROL WHAT IS TERMED 'BAPTISM OF DESIRE'. GOAN HINDUS AND GOAN MOORS ARE IN THIS RESPECT SUPERIOR TO THE BJP OUTSIDERS WHOSE CULTURALIZATION HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY NEGLECTED. LET'S PRAY THAT THE MALCONTENTS SEE THE LIGHT SHINING IN THE JUNGLE OF THE NIGHT. MANY SALAAMS! MARTINHO de SOUZA

THEY ARE THE KIND OF FOLK WHO GO AROUND CLAIMING, 'THANK GOD, WE ARE ATHEISTS.' HOWEVER, IN THEIR HEARTS THEY KNOW THAT ATHEISM IS UNGOAN. BESIDES THESE GOAN PSEUDO-ATHEISTS, THERE ARE A FEW GOAN CATHOLICS WHO HAVE JOINED FUNDAMENTALIST PROTESTANT SECTS WHICH INDULGE IN CHURCH-SMASHING AND CLERGY-BASHING OF THE VERBAL KIND. THESE GOAN TURNCOATS OUGHT TO REMEMBER THAT GOAN CULTURE IS ESSENTIALLY CATHOLIC IN NATURE AND SIGNIFICANCE AND WHATEVER SECTS THESE GOAN MALCONTENTS JOIN, THEY SHOULD REALIZE THAT ONCE A CATHOLIC, ALWAYS A CATHOLIC. ACCORDING TO THEOLOGY, THE SOUL OF A CATHOLIC IS MARKED BY THE SPIRIT AT BAPTISM AND NOTHING ON EARTH CAN ERASE THIS MARK. A CATHOLIC IS CATHOLIC TO HIS/HER DYING DAY EVEN IF WHEN ALIVE HE/SHE 'LEAVES' THE CHURCH. SOME OF THESE CATHOLICS ARE QUISLINGS WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDENTITYCRISIS. WHEN A CATHOLIC LASS CALLED RITA CHANGES HER NAME TO SITA, SHE BECOMES CONFUSED ABOUT HER RELIGIOUS STATUS. ALSO, IT IS FOLLY TO CHANGE ONE'S NAME IN ORDER TO GAIN FAVOUR WITH SO-CALLED PROGRESSIVE MATERIALISTS WHO WORSHIP MAMMON.

Re: [Goanet] Article by Miguel Braganza -- Is Goa 2007 really free?
http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro Dear Sir/Madam, MIGUEL BRAGANZA IS RIGHT WHEN HE QUESTIONS THE SO-CALLED 'LIBERATION' OF OUR LAND. INDIA 'LIBERATED' GOA NOT BECAUSE SHE LOVED GOA BUT IN AN ACT OF AGGRANDIZATION.IMPERIALISM TODAY IS NOT ONLY WHITE BUT ALSO BROWN AS IN GOA, NAGALAND, THE ANDAMANS, KASHMIR, JUMMA AND OTHER COUNTRIES, THE CITIZENS OF WHICH ARE DENIED THEIR RIGHTS; IN FACT, GOANS, NAGAS, KASHMIRIS AND OTHER OPPRESSED PEOPLES ARE MADE TO FEEL LIKE STRANGERS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. SINCE 'LIBERATION' IN 1961, GOA HAS BEEN INDIA'S IRAQ. WE GOANS ARE TREATED LIKE DIRT IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. SOME GOAN 'NATIONALISTS' DESERVE THE BLAME FOR THIS SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS; THEY SOLD OUR COUNTRY FOR A SONG, ALBEIT TO BROWN IMPERIALISTS. INDIANS ARE AS BAD AS, IF NOT WORSE THAN, THE PORTUGUESE WHOSE 450-YEAR DICTATORSHIP WAS A BENEVOLENT ONE -- A DICTATORSHIP, UNLIKE INDIA'S, WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND EXPLOITATION (+ SEXPLOITATION)RAMPANT IN OUR SORROWING LAND AS AT PRESENT. IT IS HIGH TIME GOANS STRUGGLE IN A NON-VIOLENT WAY FOR TOTAL AUTOMONY. THIS CAN BE DONE BY APPEALING TO THE UNO,THE EU AND VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS MONITORING VIOLATIONS OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS.
