*PRESS NOTE*

*7 KONKNNI MARTYRS MEMORIAL FUNCTION ON 4.09.2021*

The Kuwait Konknni Mogi (KKM) and Kuwait Konknni Kendr (KKK), both the
Konknni organizations which were instituted in Kuwait, and working actively
to promote and nurture Konknni in Romi script through its activities, has
renovated the historical 7 Konknni Martyrs Monument, in Agassiam Church
area. The 7 Konknni Martyrs Monumenr was was erected under the leadership
of Agassaim villager, who was working in Kuwait, and well known as late
Shaikh Agnel 34 years ago. Since the Monument was not maintained all these
years, it was seen that the Monument erected to remember and pay respect to
those who have laid down their lives for Konknni, was in a dilapidated
condition. Seeing the historical Monument in such a decrepited condition,
the KKM thought of renovating the same. As KKM took the intiative of
renovating the Monument, the famous Kuwait Konknni Kendr (KKK) came forward
to finance the full renovation work.

Accordingly, the 7 Konknni Martyrs Monument has been renovated, with the
financial help from KKK.

The re-inauguration will be held on 4th September, 2021 (Saturday), at
10.15 am, in Agassaim, near 7 Konknni Martyrs Monument.

The President of KKK, Elvino bab Rodrigues will be the Chief Guest for the
function.

Konknni lovers and well wishers as well as villagers, and people from
neighboring villages are requested to attend the function.

[Goanet] CERTIFICATE COURSE IN ROMI KONKNNI HELD AT INCREDIBLE ENGLISH

*CERTIFICATE COURSE IN ROMI KONKNNI HELD AT INCREDIBLE ENGLISH  *



Incredible English, conducted successfully Romi Konkani Course from 15 June
to 31 August, at its boutique residential English School & Resort at
Benaulim. A total of four students – David Trotter (United Kingdom), Nicole
Luick Da Silva (Switzerland), Bharati Marwaha Kumar (India) and Emma Bryant
(Canada) participated in the Romi Konkani Course.



Incredible English is a boutique residential English School & Resort in the
amazing and uniquely beautiful village of Benaulim, Goa, where symbols of a
rich history are fused with the present, creating a uniquely Goan
atmosphere, whilst the local Indian culture ensures an experience never to
be forgotten.



“I found the course on the whole to be excellent. It was very good that we
were taught the Konkani grammar rather than just learning stock phrases.
This will allow us to progress with the language in future,” opined David
Trotter.





“The deep knowledge of the teacher, not only of the Konkani language, but
also of the culture of the people made the classes very interesting.  It is
very important when learning a new language that one should also learn
about the people, and this gives an insight into how the language is used,”
he added further.





 Mr.Trotter added that he has grasped the basis of the language and “I
would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this course to anyone
wishing to learn Konkani.”





“My teacher was great. A deep understanding of the language allows him to
explain questions in full. He is animated and engaging,” said Emma Bryant,
married to a Goan and settled in Goa for the last 4 years.





“I would be embarrassed to live in Goa and not able to speak Konkani,”
commented Emma Bryant.



“The course benefited me a lot as all the grammar questions have been
addressed which nobody could give me a satisfactory answer for my questions
raised before,” said Nicole Luick Da Silva who is married to a Goan and is
settled in Goa since 2006.



Nicole added that the course made her understand how the language is
working and used, besides making her like the language more than before.



According to Bharati Marwaha Kumar “the grammar gives a better
understanding of the language. The course was amazing and the teacher was
our inspiration.”



 The focus in this course was to read Romi Konkani with comprehension,
basic vocabulary, basic grammar of Romi Konkani and speaking and reading.



Mr. Jose Salvador Fernandes, a post graduate in Konkani, All India Konkani
Writers Vice-President (Goa Unit), writer and teacher conducted
the Romi Konkani Course.

[Goanet] BROADWAY’S CERTIFICATE COURSE IN ROMI KONKNNI HELD

2014-11-13 Thread Jose Fernandes
Broadway Book Centre, a leading and pioneering book store in Goa conducted
successfully Romi Konknni Course from 07 October to 06 November of 78
hours, at Broadway Book Centre, Panjim. Seven students participated in the
course. The focus in this course was to read Romi Konknni with
comprehension, basic vocabulary, basic grammar of Romi Konknni and
speaking. To achieve this goal, the students were engaged in various
language learning exercises, such as repetition drill, structural table
drill, match the following, fill in the blanks, pattern practice, grouping
the vocabulary according to gender and number, etc.



“A good teacher always takes the level of the students into consideration
and I could see that type of teacher in Fr. Pratap Naik,” said Comdt.
(retd) Baljit Singh, 58 who attended the Romi Konknni course and whose
mother tongue is Punjabi.



“The course has benefitted me a lot, as I wanted to learn correct Konknni.
Now I can speak, understand and even read Konknni. I have learnt good
number of new words in Konknni during the course,” said 83 years old Mr. J.
B. Adeodata de Souza from Siloim, who was born in Africa and spent 46 years
of his life there.



“Personally I feel that the course was very good and both the teachers were
good in teaching. I never came across a class of only 7 students having 2
teachers, where one is teaching and other one is carefully listening to the
students and I am really fortunate to be part of this class,” said Mrs.
Corinne Carvalho, 62 one of the participants of the course from Miramar.



Mr. Agnelo Braganza, 73 who travelled everyday all the way from Majorda to
Panjim to attend the course is very much impressed by the unique teaching
method during the course. “Teaching method is especially good for adults.
The structural drills and other exercises really give foundation to the
students for language learning,” said Mr. Braganza who spent his childhood
in Mumbai and later on worked on the ship thus losing touch with his mother
tongue.



Dr. (Fr.) Pratap Naik, SJ, a well-known Konknni linguist, teacher and
researcher and who is the authority in Konknni language was the main
resource person, and he was assisted by Mr. Jose Salvador Fernandes, a post
graduate in Konknni, writer and teacher.


 At the end of the course, the students were presented certificates by Mr
Rama Harmalkar, representative of Broadway Book Centre. Due to unavoidable
circumstances only 4 students were present during certificate presentation
ceremony.

 Other links seem to take you in non productive tangential directions.

*‘AMCHI BHAS:1’ ROMI KONKNNI PRIMER*

Broadway Publishing House to promote and strengthen Romi Konknni in Goa
will soon launch a Romi Konknni Primer ‘Amchi Bhas:1’ for the first
standard students. The primer is in press. The multi-coloured 60 pages
primer is of size 27.3 x 20.3 cm. is written in a simple and lucid standard
Romi Konknni used in Goa. It is based on universal pedagogical, linguistic
and logical principles of language learning and teaching. There are 21
lessons which cover various themes such as pictorial story reading,
student’s self-introduction, names of parts of the body, household
articles, common animals, birds, flowers, fruits, fishes, vegetables, names
of the common colours, counting numbers, ordinal numbers, names of the days
and months, prayer song, mother tongue Konknni, birthday celebration,
description of a village, village festival, folk-story, etc. At the end of
each lesson various language learning exercises, such as repetition drill,
structural table drill, match the following, fill in the blanks, pattern
practice, grouping the vocabulary according to gender and number are
included. The students are introduced to language vocabulary, structure and
grammar through indirect and lively methods.



A good number of lessons are written in the form of songs and lively music
is composed for them. All the songs which are in the lessons and many other
children’s songs which could be used as a teaching material are found in
‘Hansun, Khellun Gavum-ia’ MP3.  In the introductory section, teachers have
been given extensive and practical suggestions how to teach Romi Konknni
using this primer. For example, singing, acting, role playing, drawing,
colouring and story narration. The lessons are illustrated with plenty of
attractive multi-coloured pictures. The lessons are written taking into
consideration Romi Konknni students’ surroundings, environment, flora and
fauna, culture and traditions. At the same time utmost care is taken to
promote multi-religious, cultural and social harmony of Goa through lessons
and songs.



‘Amchi Bhas:1’ is authored by Dr (Fr.) Pratap Naik, S.J., a well-known
Konknni linguist, teacher and researcher and who is the authority in
Konknni language. He has been assisted by Mr Jose Salvador Fernandes, a
post graduate in Konknni, Konknni teacher and writer. The attractive and
colourful pictures are drawn by Mr Domnic Cordo, Assistant Professor at Goa
College of Art, Panjim. The melodious music for the songs has been composed
by well-known music composer Mr Eric Ozario. The lyrics are composed by Dr
Pratap Naik, S.J., late Dr ManoharRai Sardessai and Dr Bicaji Ganecar. The
page layout has been done by Ms Arjumand B. Shaikh and Mr Rama Harmalkar is
the printer. If Broadway Publishing House receives active support from the
users of Romi Konknni, then it has a dream to publish at the earliest a
series of ‘Amchi Bhas:2, 3 and 4’.



Earlier, the Broadway Publishing House had published ‘Hansun Khellun
Xikum-ia’, a Romi Konknni primer for KG students compiled by Dr Pratap
Naik, S.J.



Broadway Publishing House has at hand a few important pioneering projects
to promote Romi Konknni. Of these, Learner’s Romi Konknni-English
Dictionary of more than 30,000 words used in various regions of Romi
Konknni, based on modern lexicographic principles and methods is under
preparation. Dr Pratap Naik, S.J., who has specialized in Konknni
lexicography from University of Pune is the Chief Editor of this project,
and Mr Jose Salvador Fernandes is the Assistant Editor. They are assisted
by team of dedicated Romi Konknni writers, national and international
lexicographers. This pioneering dictionary will be dedicated to the
well-known Romi Konknni Lexicographer of Goa, namely, late Msgr. Sebastião
R. Dalgado (1855-1922).

AMCHI BHAS:1 ROMI KONKNNI PRIMER FOR FIRST STANDARD

Broadway Publishing House to promote and strengthen Romi Konknni in Goa
will soon launch a Romi Konknni Primer Amchi Bhas:1 for the first
standard students. The primer is in press. The multi-coloured 60 pages
primer is of size 27.3 x 20.3 cm. is written in a simple and lucid
standard Romi Konknni used in Goa. It is based on universal
pedagogical, linguistic and logical principles of language learning and
teaching. There are 21 lessons which cover various themes such as
pictorial story reading, students self-introduction, names of parts of
the body, household articles, common animals, birds, flowers, fruits,
fishes, vegetables, names of the common colours, counting numbers,
ordinal numbers, names of the days and months, prayer song, mother
tongue Konknni, birthday celebration, description of a village, village
festival, folk-story, etc. At the end of each lesson various language
learning exercises, such as repetition drill, structural table drill,
match the following, fill in the blanks, pattern practice, grouping the
vocabulary according to gender and number are included. The students
are introduced to language vocabulary, structure and grammar through
indirect and lively methods.

A good number of lessons are written in the form of songs and lively
music is composed for them. All the songs which are in the lessons and
many other childrens songs which could be used as a teaching material
are found in Hansun, Khellun Gavum-ia MP3. In the introductory
section, teachers have been given extensive and practical suggestions
how to teach Romi Konknni using this primer. For example, singing,
acting, role playing, drawing, colouring and story narration. The
lessons are illustrated with plenty of attractive multi-coloured
pictures. The lessons are written taking into consideration Romi
Konknni students surroundings, environment, flora and fauna, culture
and traditions. At the same time utmost care is taken to promote multi-
religious, cultural and social harmony of Goa through lessons and
songs.

Amchi Bhas:1 is authored by Dr (Fr.) Pratap Naik, S.J., a well-known
Konknni linguist, teacher and researcher and who is the authority in
Konknni language. He has been assisted by Mr Jose Salvador Fernandes, a
post graduate in Konknni, Konknni teacher and writer. The attractive
and colourful pictures are drawn by Mr Domnic Cordo, Assistant
Professor at Goa College of Art, Panjim. The melodious music for the
songs has been composed by well-known music composer Mr Eric Ozario.
The lyrics are composed by Dr Pratap Naik, S.J., late Dr ManoharRai
Sardessai and Dr Bicaji Ganecar. The page layout has been done by Ms
Arjumand B. Shaikh and Mr Rama Harmalkar is the printer. If Broadway
Publishing House receives active support from the users of Romi
Konknni, then it has a dream to publish at the earliest a series of
Amchi Bhas:2, 3 and 4.

Earlier, the Broadway Publishing House had published Hansun Khellun
Xikum-ia, a Romi Konknni primer for KG students compiled by Dr Pratap
Naik, S.J.

Broadway Publishing House has at hand a few important pioneering
projects to promote Romi Konknni. Of these, Learners Romi Konknni-
English Dictionary of more than 30,000 words used in various regions of
Romi Konknni, based on modern lexicographic principles and methods is
under preparation. Dr Pratap Naik, S.J., who has specialized in Konknni
lexicography from University of Pune is the Chief Editor of this
project, and Mr Jose Salvador Fernandes is the Assistant Editor. They
are assisted by team of dedicated Romi Konknni writers, national and
international lexicographers. This pioneering dictionary will be
dedicated to the well-known Romi Konknni Lexicographer of Goa, namely,
late Msgr. Sebastião R. Dalgado (1855-1922).

[Goanet] PRESS CONFERENCE JOINTLY ORGANIZED BY DALGADO KONKNNI AKADEMI, JAGOTIK KONKNNI SONGHOTTON, ROMI LIPI ACTION FRONT AND TIATR ACADEMY GOA

*PRESS CONFERENCE JOINTLY ORGANIZED BY*

*DALGADO KONKNNI AKADEMI,
JAGOTIK KONKNNI SONGHOTTON, *

*ROMI LIPI ACTION FRONT AND TIATR ACADEMY GOA*

* *

1.  This has reference to the Press Conference given by Goa Konkani
Academy (GKA) yesterday (23.09.2013) and to the numerous faulty statements
made by Shri Pundalik Naik, President of GKA.

2.  It is unfortunate to observe that a literary institution like
GKA is opposed to giving awards to Konknni in Romi script. This only proves
the selfish attitude of promoting Devnagari script by destroying the Romi
script in Goa. They tried to do so in the past and failed miserably.

3.  These four organizations namely, Dalgado Konknni Akademi,
Jagotik Konknni Songhotton *(Global Konknni Organisation)*, Romi Lipi
Action Front and Tiatr Academy Goa strongly support the decision taken by
the Chairman of Kala Academy and Hon’ble MLA of St. Andre Constituency,
Shri Vishnu Surya Wagh for giving separate literary award not only to
Konknni in Romi script but also for books in English and in other regional
languages written by Goans. In fact this decision must be hailed by all the
persons of literature because Shri Vishnu Surya Wagh has recognized the
literary creativity not only in Konknni and Marathi but also in other
languages used by Goans.

4.  GKA has not projected factual position of literary awards as
far as Goa Kala Academy is concerned. Goa Kala Academy has been awarding
literary awards to Konknni in Devnagari script as well as to Konknni in
Romi script since the inception of literary awards by Kala Academy. There
are so many writers of Konknni in Romi script who have received such awards
in the past.

5.  It was in 1987 that the Official Language Act (OLA) of Goa was
passed and fraudulently it was mentioned in the Act that Konknni in
Devnagari script will be the Official Language. In fact this was the great
betrayal to the protagonists of Konknni in Romi script because of whose
support the Konknni language became the Official Language of Goa.

6.  It is after the Act was implemented that some leaders of
Devnagari lobby such as Adv. Uday Bhembre, Pundalik Naik, Naguesh Karmali,
Arvind Bhatikar, Fr. Mousinho Ataide and others worked directly or
indirectly to stop the promotion and development of Konknni in Romi script.
Their selfish actions are :

a)  They stopped Kala Academy from giving awards to Konknni in Romi
script as they controlled the committees of Kala Academy. The reason given
was that the OLA recognizes Konknni in Devnagri script only.

b)  GKA did not help in any way for the promotion and development of
Konknni in Romi script. It was only in 2005 that the Goa Govt., with a
resolution passed in the Goa Assembly, directed the GKA to provide funds
for the promotion and development of Konknni in Romi script.

c)  This lobby has succeeded in manipulating the Konknni movement at
all levels. At the Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi their manipulative tactics
have helped them to keep away the protagonists of Konknni in Romi script,
since the recognition of Konknni by  Sahitya Akademi in 1976. This is
proved from the facts that the advisory bodies appointed by the Sahitya
Akademi have 10 out of 10 members who are the supporters of Devnagari
script. Their strategy is such that they appoint some Christians to the
advisory bodies to show that they include everyone. However, the Christians
who are appointed are basically the supporters of Devnagari script.

With all these actions, it only proves that Devnagari lobby is all out to
destroy Konknni in Romi script.

7.  Because Kala Academy stopped giving Literary Award to Konknni
in Romi script and GKA refusing to support Konknni in Romi script, the
protagonists of Konknni in Romi script agitated. They appealed to the
political leadership of Goa as well as to the lovers of Konknni language to
give justice to Konknni in Romi script. As a result of this, the then Govt.
of Goa, including the Opposition, was compelled to pass resolution in Goa
Assembly to direct GKA to promote and develop Konknni in Romi script also.

8.  It is due to the direction of Govt. that GKA were compelled to
support Konknni in Romi script since 2005. It is completely wrong to make
it appear that they supported Konknni in Romi script out of their free
will.

9.  It is also wrongly informed by GKA that they supported
Government’s decision to get Govt. grants to Dalgado Konknni Akademi (DKA)
for the promotion and development of Konknni in Romi script. In fact, they
opposed even at the last moment and tried to stop the then Chief Minister
to give grants to DKA but in vain.

10.   Protagonists of Konknni in Romi script continued their fight with
Kala Academy to restore the Literary Award to Konknni in Romi script. The
protagonists of Konknni in Romi script also demanded that Award for Konknni
in Romi script should be given in a separate category. This is needed

Subject: One-day Convention of Konkani writers – convened by JKS.
To: Jose Salvador Fernandes, Goa konk...@gmail.com



Mogall Bab Jose,

It is a well-known fact that a small lobby of literatteurs who are staunch
‘Devanagarivadis’, have dictated the course of the Konkani movement in
India and have done great damage to literature in scripts other than in
Devanagari, resulting in the continued disunity among Konkanis. This lobby,
through sheer manipulation and trickery, has retained its stranglehold over
the Konkani power-centres at the state and at the national level and has
usurped and appropriated all facilities, benefits, awards, grants,
projects, etc. for itself, and continues to do so despite protests and
objections.

As you are well aware, 2 Writ Petitions, have been filed – one in the High
Court of Karnataka against the Sahitya Akademi, seeking equal treatment to
all scripts, and one in the Mumbai High Court (Goa Bench), to rectify the
Official Language Act to include Roman script.

Despite this, the Devanagari lobby is on the offensive and is now engaged
in installing (‘protixttapon’) the Devanagari lipi in Karnataka. It is very
unfortunate that the only Konkani Writer’s Forum in Karnataka, instead of
protecting the interest of Konkani literature and litterateurs writing in
the Kannada script, is on the one hand busy defaming, damning and
denigrating fellow writers, while on the other, is going overboard to act
as tools in the hands of the Devanagari lobby, in return for the scraps
that they throw at them. What is most shameful is that this Forum has never
raised its voice against the injustices done to the Kannada script by the
‘Devanagarivadis’, but instead are content to be seen in the ranks of the
oppressors and uphold their ideology.

Under these painful circumstances, Jagotik Konknni Songhotton considers it
its sacred duty to bring-together writers of Kannada and Roman scripts and
also probe the possibilities of establishing an *All-India Konkani Writers’
Forum*, which will protect the interest of Konkani literature and Konkani
writers of all scripts.

*The one-day Convention is scheduled for Sun., Sep. 29, 2013 (9.30 a.m to 4
p.m.), at Kalaangann, Mangalore.* You are requested to be present and also
to ensure the participation of maximum number of writers in the Roman
script, in this Convention. **

The agenda of the Convention would be –
1.  To learn about the progress in the 2 Writ Petitions.
2.  To find a remedy to the problem of only the Devanagari point of
view dominating the internet – through Wikipedia.
3.  To probe the possibilities of establishing an all-India body of
Konkani writers.

*Come, it’s time to unite and fight against the injustices we have suffered
for so long and tell the world – ‘enough is enough!’*

Kindly confirm your participation.

With warm regards,



*Eric Ozario*

 Judas Iscariot

 He is labelled as the betrayer and traitor of the son of God. He is
 infamously known for his kiss of betrayal for thirty pieces of silver. All
 the four Gospels identify him as the betrayer.  Is the epithe Iscariott
 applied posthumously to distinguish him from another Judas ? He was the
 only apostle from outside Galilee . It is not known whether this fact made
 him uncomfortable. Did  Iscariot connote a liar or false one?

 The chief priest was looking for a sly way to arrest  Jesus  and not during
 the feast afraid of his popularity and  people rioting .Hence they chose
 the night before the feast

 Judas was the treasurer, Money bag or the purse keeper of the apostles and
 was suspected to be petty thief using money as he wished .He protested at
 Jesus feet being anointed with costly perfume, which could be used for the
 poor .Hence money was his weakness and undoing falling from grace with
 Jesus. He was expecting that Jesus as the leader of Jewish would revolt
 against the Romans and he had great hopes and love for his country to be
 freed. He was disappointed, disillusioned disciple on Jesus announcement of
 impending death

 Jesus is very strongly condemning his treachery, by saying that it would
 have  be better for him not to be born in the first place and yet Jesus
 addresses him as the friend and he chose him as the one of the twelve
 apostles. The sin of treachery aaginst trust is very significant according
 to Jesus. Jesus said that the one who will betray him will  eat  the dipped
 bread and which was given to him He left at the last supper without
 partaking of the wine with Jesus asking him to do quickly what he wishes
 and the others did not understand what it was meant. Earlier while washing
 the feet Jesus remarked, hinting that all of them were not clean. But
 nothing touched the heart of Judas to reform and change his intentions and
 greed for material wealth. If Judas had not to betray him then Gods plan of
 crucifixion, resurrection and the prophecy would not be fulfilled? Was not
 Jesus ultimately destined to be crucified? Did Judas have not cared to
 exercise his own free will and was it necessary and unavoidable? He was
 free to accept or reject Jesus, It is noted that he never addressed Jesus
 as the Lord, but as the master .Judas acted with Jesus full knowledge and
 consent of betrayal. And yet Jesus picked him up as his chosen apostle.
 Judas was already damned before he committed suicide. He sold him with a
 kiss and 30 pieces of silver. Perhaps he never expected the way they
 treated Jesus and condemned to die. He repented and returned the money. But
 he never repented to Jesus in person against whom he had sinned by
 treacherous betrayal of innocent blood .The act of betrayal does not appear
 in the earliest Christian writings.

 Did Judas commit suicide before the crucifixion by hanging at dawn or his
 body burst disemboweling his internal organs? There are conflicting reports
 of death of Judas It appears that he had dream of disciples stoning him and
 persecuting him   for his act of treachery .Was he present after the Jesus
 appeared to the apostles where only Thomas was said to be missing? He is
 speculated to have died much later after resurrection

 Jesus  I his goodness and dying moments had been merciful  eve to the thief
 on the right side of the cross and asked forgiveness for those who did not
 know what they were doing  Was Judas granted forgiveness or eternal
 punishment It is  also averred that Judas went were he wanted to go

 Judas Iscariot is the classical, ultimate example of treachery and betrayal
 of trust and relationship in friendship for pure material and selfish gains
 and is condemned for his sin

 Bollywood is An Enormous Elephant in the Room…

 Is the honest observation by Venita Coelho, the only Goan on the
 Indian Jury. HERALD gets her views

 CHRISTINA VIEGAS goasheartbeat@ herald- goa. com Tell us a little
 about your selection on the Indian Jury. How did it happen? I was
 surprised by a call from the Deputy Director of the festival, Tanu
 Rai. I am so used to living my activist avatar in Goa, that few people
 know that I am also a film writer and maker.

 … And on the pride and honour of being the only Goan on the jury?
 Being the only Goan on the jury meant that I got to be a bridge for
 the other jury members to a better understanding of our state. I am
 always happy to be able to explain that Goa is about much more than
 just sunshine, sand and the carnival.

 Are you happy with the selection of the films in this section? We had
 over 140 films to watch and choose from. What was frightening was the
 number of films that were technically awful. Since the explosion of
 the digital age, everyone is buying a digital camera and attempting a
 movie. But the final selection we made was very satisfying because it
 was such a wide range of films. From ‘ Bandhon’, which is a classic by
 Jahnu Barua, to ‘ I. D’. which is a cutting edge experiment with
 digital shooting, we have a really interesting spread.

 Isn’t it true that despite celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema,
 majority of the spotlight is on Bollywood films? Unfortunately
 Bollywood dominates our national imagination, our myth making and our
 entertainment. It’s like an enormous elephant in the room. You can’t
 ignore it - and it takes up an enormous amount of space. Yes, the
 spotlight is on Bollywood films - but look at the size of that
 particular elephant! For instance, with due respect to Akshay Kumar,
 isn’t it strange that he was our chief guest at the inaugural? I am in
 full agreement with that. If IFFI is meant to encourage great cinema,
 then surely we should be choosing a personality that better represents
 that. I see no need to keep choosing ‘ eyeball grabbers’ or ‘ stars’.
 The stars for IFFI should be great films and great film makers.

 Do you agree that a commercial film such as ‘ Tohfa’ ( made during a
 period when Indian cinema saw some of the worst films) fits into an
 international film festival? I have no say on that. I can only stand
 up for the films that I personally chose. And we agonized over our
 choices. It was 22 days of non- stop film viewing before we chose to
 the best of our abilities.

 As jury member, kindly expound on your role? Imagine getting to see
 films from across India, from all states, in various languages - the
 best of the output of an entire year of filmmaking.

 It was a fantastic opportunity. It was also an experience that left me
 worried. We had to wade through just such enormous volumes of bad
 films to get to the good ones. A lot of really bad cinema is being
 produced by India. Money is being spent and spent terribly.

 We urgently need somebody to step forward and start arming would- be
 film makers with technical skills. As digital technology gets cheaper
 we will see an explosion of do- it- yourself directors. The need of
 the hour is more film institutes, cheaper and more accessible courses
 and higher standards of teaching.

 Finally, what would you like to tell our Goan audiences and film
 delegates from India and abroad about Indian cinema? I was really
 impressed by the Goan film ‘ Digant’. It is a very simply told story
 but a very profound one. It tells the story of how Goans are living
 right now - of loss of identity, loss of land, loss of values.
 Congratulations to the makers. I was very happy to have a Goan film
 make it to the shortlist - and one that told the story of real Goa,
 not the Goa constructed by the tourism department.

 I don't know, why we want to classify and divide the Konkani speaking
 community with this script issue. Konkanis speak a Konkani language and
 there is no language which is based on any script. We have dialectal
 changes and not on language basis. Our vocabulary is same and there is no
 difference between the various communities of Konkani. Just have a glance
 at the Catholics living in Ponda, Canacona and Sanguem and the Hindus
 residing in Cuncolim and Majorda. You will see the difference, which will
 clear your doubts.
 We should rectify ourselves and try to unite the Konkanis and build a good

 You may disagree with my views and thoughts, but I believe in what I say,
 as I have a base to defend my words too.

  Dear Jose

 At the outset, let me clarify that I was not the author of the article/

 as I believed it would be of interest to goans. Although I did provide the
 weblinks, I erred in not prefacing it with my comments. All-in-all, it
 feels good whenever something positive and constructive is done for our
 mother tongue and motherland.

 I would tend to agree with you that the Sahitya Akademi only recognised
 Konkani as an independent and separate language and not as a dialect of
 Marathi without getting into the script controversy. It is very essential
 and important for anything to grow and thrive that no fetters should be
 imposed on it. And that goes for language too. I wish all genuine lovers of
 Konkani will allow it to grow in whichever script it can blossom. We are
 all the richer for this.

 The many scripts of Konkani

 There is a self-assuredness about Konkani writer Sheela Kolambkar that
 instantly puts people at ease. I first met Kolambkar in Kochi, where she
 was one of the seven regional writers to receive the 2012 Tagore Literature
 Award, given out by Samsung and Sahitya Akademi. She almost whooped with
 delight when I spoke to her in Marathi. “It’s good to hear a familiar
 language so far down south,” she said.

 She had to rush on to the stage for the ceremony, but I promised to catch
 up with her back home in Mumbai.

 A week later I made my way to her home in Mulund. “I wore a nice sari,
 since you were getting a photographer,” Kolambkar says, laughing
 irreverently.

 *Her own point of view
 *As we settle down to talk about her work, she tells me that she was
 surrounded by books while growing up in Portuguese-ruled Goa. Whether at
 home, school or at the Central Library in Panaji, “I read anything I could
 get my hands on — novels, short stories, essays”. She especially enjoyed
 the translated works of Bengali writer Shankar. “I was impressed by
 Chaurangi, which is so close to real life.”

 Kolambkar says she was encouraged to write by one of her professors in
 college. “He told us that writing is like looking through a kaleidoscope.
 Shift your position and the view changes. He stressed on developing a
 personal point of view.” This is a maxim Kolambkar follows to this day.

 *Guerra*, the short story that brought her under the spotlight, gives a
 view of Goa when the Portuguese were withdrawing. Overnight, several
 friendships were broken as some Christian families chose to leave for
 Portugal. This forms the basis for her story.

 In other stories, she brings to the fore women’s issues. In *Hau Vanjud Nai
 *(I Am Not Barren), Kolambkar has fictionalised a true story of a girl who
 was married to a man, but not allowed to sleep with him because a local
 guru recommends that the couple shouldn’t bear a child for the first two
 years of their marriage.

 *‘No substitute for certain words’*
 Kolambkar first started writing in Marathi. “Under the Portuguese rule,
 Konkani was considered a servant’s language. Though I spoke Konkani, it
 never occurred to me to write in the language.”

 While writing one of her stories, Kolambkar found herself describing a
 scene in Goa where a character says ‘*Aitar fulailo*’ (I had a great
 Sunday). “It’s a phrase that’s so uniquely Konkani, I couldn’t find any
 words in Marathi. That’s when it struck me that my thoughts were Konkani. I
 gave up writing stories in Marathi that day.”

 Writing in Konkani has been the key to expressing herself in the truest
 sense, says Kolambkar. “The Konkani word ‘*othambe*’ — droplets that fall
 off tree leaves and roofs after the rain has stopped — has no substitute in
 Marathi or any other language. Then are the local trees and fish, which
 have only Konkani names.”
 I realise then that the attempt to preserve regional languages isn’t about
 something abstract like culture. It’s about preserving words that are used
 to describe real things that may not have a substitute in more popular
 languages.

 *The language with five scripts*
 While the impact of English’s popularity on regional languages is often
 highlighted, the dominance of major regional languages over dialects,
 especially in literature, is lesser known. Konkani, which was recognised as
 a major Indian regional language only in 1992, is written in five scripts —
 Devnagri, Kannada, Malayalam, Arabic and Roman. (Devnagri is recognised as
 the official Konkani script by the Sahitya Akademi.)

 “During the Portuguese inquisition, Goans spread out of the state. They
 spoke Konkani in the kitchen and adopted whatever local language was spoken
 outside. As a result, there are Konkani stories written in Malayalam
 script, which readers in Goa have no clue of. And the Konkani spoken in
 Gujarat seems frozen in time. It has so many Portuguese terms. In Goa, the
 Portuguese terms have faded away from popular use.”

 But Kolambkar is surprisingly positive about regional languages. “People
 keep saying that regional languages will die out. But I don’t think that is
 going to happen. Those who learn English get degrees and go abroad for
 better prospects. In the West, knowing your roots is so important. One day,
 all those who have settled abroad will want to know more about where they
 originally hail from. And when that day comes, we need to make sure we have
 written enough good stories to keep them hooked.”

 Place: Panaji | Agency: PTI

 A school bus today plunged into a river at Aldona village, 15km away from
 here, leaving over a dozen students missing, police said.

 The incident took place this morning when the driver lost control over the
 vehicle and it fell into the Kalvi river, they said.

 Although the number of students travelling in the bus is not clear, locals
 claimed that there were at least 15 of them.

 A major rescue operation was initiated immediately after the mishap and
 fire brigade as well as police divers were rushed to the spot.

 The driver and conductor are safe as they jumped out when they lost
 control. But there has been no official confirmation about any deaths and
 searches are on for the missing children.

 TEAM HERALD teamherald@ herald- goa. com
  MAPUSA: Making petrol cheaper by atleast Rs 12, sharing mining profits
 with the people and reversal of cabinet decision on Medium of Instruction
 are the three promises former chief minister Manohar Parrikar made today if
 his government comes back to power in the next assembly elections.
 Addressing the gathering at Mapusa, Parrrikar said the common man is today
 is facing hardships due to rising fuel prices.
 “ If BJP government is voted to power in the next assembly elections, I
 will see to it that petrol becomes cheaper by atleast Rs 12 per litre
 within seven days,” Parrikar said adding “ this is very much possible and
 we need not take loan for this.” Parrikar also assured that the Rs 1000 cr
 revenue what the state is getting through mining royalty will be shared
 with the people if his party is voted to power.
 Last but not the least, Parrikar announced that the very day his
 government comes to power it will change the cabinet decision on medium of
 instruction.

 http://oheraldo.in/news/Local%20News/Konkani-should-be-the-primary-school-medium/46753.html



 This Fr. Mousihno is accustomed to talking rubbish. Infact an Indian
 fanatic. A couple of times he has written on Herald against Goans like
 “Hangover of servility” on 29/9/09, etc. The migrant editors entertain such
 fanatism by Goans against Goans. He has the company of another Fr. Jaime
 Couto
 who writes Konkani articles in Devnagri script on ‘Grace News’; a monthly
 bulletin of Grace Church Margao. 90 percent of Grace Church parishioners
 will
 not know to read Konkani in that script.

 Coming back to this article, I would like to ask Fr. Mousinho  if he knows
 the meaning of mother
 tongue. What pedagogical science says is to be understood correctly and not
 to
 be distorted. Primary education should be in the language a child speaks at
 home since young. Secondly, it is also proved in science that young
 children
 pick up new languages easily as compared to a child grown older.  Fr.
 Mousinho always harped that
 Portuguese were dictators; so now in democracy if the people  want primary
 education in English, why
 is he invoking God to avert it? Does he have any responsibility toward the
 future of our children? Maybe he too like Shashikala want Goans to remain
 as
 dropouts of schools or be a graduate and unable to draft a letter in
 correct
 English.

 It is a blatant LIE to state that during the Portuguese era,
 Christians did primary education
 in Portuguese. There are schools and convents still existing in Goa
 which imparted primary education in English, and Catholics, Hindus as well
 as
 Muslims attended them. Those who did in Portuguese, continued in Lyceum in
 the
 Portuguese language.

 The love for Goa’s identity Fr. Mousinho is talking of is a
 distorted one.

 incidentally, since I am a drummer, the white drummer seems quite
 amateurish.  Looks like Goans will always pander to the whites.  That's why
 our beautiful land, Goa, has almost been taken over by the whites!!!  I will

  Dear Venantius,

 I mean to say to all Konkani writers song composers and singers.
 Dont comment on Romi or Devnagri but send a sondex to every family
 to teach their child to talk in Konk'nni.

 In Goa in few years there will me no nizache Goyemkar left.
 Porvorim dongor, Bambolim dongor, Margao dongor is filled with
 Karnataka/non
 Goans
 (i dont want to call them ghantis). They come they learn and where are we
 Goans
 fighting for Romi and Devnagri. In some years the same Karnatak/non
 Goan people will say
 konknni in Kan'nad and we will still be fighting for Roman and it will be
 too late
 Konknni will be gone if we dont teach our children to talk in Konknni.

Thanks for understanding the depth of my intention for the greater good of
Konkani and being made up your mind to offer the old Konkani Records to
Dalgado Konknni Akademi.

 Dear friends,

 From the beginning I made it clear that I wanted to offer the old Konkani
 Records however with no commercial interest in it. I don't even know if they
 are worth anything. But I was sure when Fred sent out the request it was for
 a good propose.

 Since so much interest has shown I thought it is a good idea to offer the
 Records to Delgado Konkani Academy (Jose Salvador Fernandes) if you think it
 is the right thing to do. My friend Sigrid Pfeffer has all the understanding
 for it.

 To Edwad Vales inquiry here is the list of the 45 RPM records:

 1. Alfred Rose; Lovely Esta, 1966
 2. Chris Perry  Lorna: Saudichen Kantar.  1969
 3. Alfred Rose; Khoro isst, 1969
 4. M. Alphonso: Calangutche Praieri, 1972
 5. Nolasco Dias, Medley of Konkani songs, 1972
 6. Chris Perry  Lorna: Nimanne Bessaum, 1973
 7. Alfred Rose: Sukhnem, Sukhnem, 1973
 8. Chris Perry  Lorna: Cu Cu Ru Cu Cu, 1973
 9. Rita Rose: Modern Melodies, 1976

 I would have some more to add to the list.

 Now as far as Sigrid Pfeffer is concerned in my next post I would send my
 article published in Navhind Times in 2008 for thos who have missed it about
 Sighrid Pfefer's interests in Konkni music in Germany.

 So long.

 Hi Mariano, Sigrid Pfeffer

 is currently working on the task and, in my opinion, doing a good job.
 Being a professional sound recordist, she is good at her job. Hence
 the focus on LPs and records rather than lower-quality MP3s.

 But the long-term goal is also to preserve this music and ensure that
 it survives the test of time. Rather than 'disposing' or selling off
 these records (wherever available) it would be best if they could be
 protected and preserved for the future generations. Of course, the
 minefield of copyright and permissions needs to be gone through before
 reproduction and replication can be thought of.

 An appeal to all: please take care of any old records if you have
 them... on day this might be the only link to Konkani cataram's
 musical past. FN

 I think you are right.  Konkani is perhaps the only Indian language wherein
 Dev is invoked.  E.g. Dev boro dis dium, Dev bori sanz dium, Dev bori rat

 literature that is available to us.  Neither do the Konkanis who migrated to
 the South use these expressions.  Clearly, these are 'padribhas'

Press Release

In the untimely death of Dr. (Prof) Olivinho Gomes, Goa has lost a prolific
research-oriented writer.

This was the refrain at the meeting jointly organised by Goa Konkni Akademi
(GKA) and Dalgado Konknni Akademi (DKA) at GCCI Hall, Panaji on Friday,
August 07, 2009 to condole the death of Dr. Gomes, ‘a great Konknni stalwart
who was equally at ease in Romi as well as Devnagori script.’

N. Shivdas, president of GKA said that Dr. Gomes was a widely-travelled
writer and stated that Goa will always ‘feel his absence’ in the field of
reaserch-oriented writing. Shivdas also made a mention of Dr. Gomes’
celebrated story, *Mon Oddtta, Mon Oddonam*, set in St. Estevam, his native
village.

Premanand Lotlikar, President of DKA said that in the passing away of
Dr. Gomes, DKA has lost a fatherly figure and spoke about the
DKA-commissioned book, *The History of* *Konknni Literature in Romi Script*.
Authored by Dr. Gomes, Lotlikar disclosed that the eminent writer did not
live to see the book, to be released soon, in print.

Adv Radharao Gracias spoke of his association with Dr. Gomes during the days
of the Konknni Movement and made a reference to *Village Goa*, Dr. Gomes’
‘intensely written book on village life.’ Although *Village Goa* is a study
of Chandor, the well-researched book is a mirror of any village in Goa, he
said. Dr. Gomes’ love for Konknni was immense, Gracias declared, and also
reminded about his decision to let go a lucrative IAS posting in the
Customs.

Tomazinho Cardozo, President of Tiatr Akademi of Goa said that although
Dr. Gomes received the Sahitya Akademi Award for translation, the ‘crab
mentality’ in the Konknni world was responsible in denying him the award for
‘creative writing’. He proposed that both GKA and DKA institute a
scholarship in memory of Dr. Gomes for Konknni research as also a book on
his life, which he truly deserved.

Dr. Bicaji Ganecar, Cyriaco Dias and Estev Varella from St. Estevam also
spoke on the occasion. A message received from Fr. Pratap Naik, Director of
TSKK, Porvorim was also read.

Prominent among those who attended the condolence meet were Pandharinath
Lotlikar, former director, Doordarshan Kendr, Alexyz, cartoonist and the
family members of Dr. Gomes.

Floral tributes and a minute’s silence were observed at the beginning of the
meet.
Jose Salvador Fernandes, Secretary, DKA compered and proposed the vote of
thanks.

 The Tiatr Academy of Goa was inaugurated today  16th February, 2009 at the
 hands of  Master Vaz Jose Lourenco Vaz, a native of Aldona settled in
 Utorda  in the presence of the  Chief Minister of Goa Shri Digambar V Kamat
 , at the 1150 seater A/C – Joao Agostinho Fernandes Pai Tiatrist
 auditorium at Margao at exactly  1845 hrs (IST) amidst a thunderous applause
 from a hall packed audience who came on time to grace the ocassion on this
 red letter daythus fulfilling the long cherished dream of tiatrists.


 Speaking on the ocassion the octogenarian Master Vaz was overwehlemed at
 the opening of the Tiatr Academy of Goa, as  he completes 75 years
 performance on stage today.Incidentally his entire family past and
 present (six sons and 3 daughters )have had their innings on tiatr stage.
 He said he earned the sobriquet of Master Vaz because while his father was
 addressed as Mr Vaz he was called Master Vaz but that name remained immortal
 and he is not known by his real name.

 He was full praise for the Chief Minister Digambar Kamat who not only
 promised but also fullfilled his promise of a  Tiatr Academy.  In a
 repentent tone he however made a fervent appeal to do justice to Konkani
 (apparently in Roman script ) for  this is our mother and we cant forget
 her this was plea earned a thunderous applause from the audience.  He
 invoked the blessings of St Cecilia and St Francis Xavier the Patron Saints
 revered by tiatrists for the success of the tiatr.

 Earlier Director of Art  Culture Mr Prasad Lolayekar  impressed upon the
 audience that the Government was keen to promote tiatr.  He mentioned that
 tiatr audience membership far excelled that of nataks in Maharashtra,
 Gujarat and even Bengal vis a vis ratio of population in those States.  He
 further added that while the initial sum was a mere 15 lacs the Chief
 Minister who also holds the portfolio of Art  Culture has made a budgetary
 provision of an one time grant of  one crore and fifty lacs for the
 infrastructure et al.  He also stated that Goa was the first state in the
 country to have a Cultural Policy unlike other states . This policy  was
 formulated under the guidance of Dr Nandkumar Kamat.  The Tiatr Academy is
 the result of this policy.


  Tiatr  as a performing art -- it  has become a symbol of Goan culture
 and despite odds censorship by the erstwhile Portuguese regime or it being
 relegated to the stature of entertainment for the lowly placed section of
 the society or  financial constraints it has survived without Government
 support since the beginning of the 20th century.  It centers around a story
 with around in  parts of the order of six to seven and intermingled with
 cants and cantaram . Each tiatr costs around Rs.15,000 to 20,000 for high
 profile tiatrists numbering 10. There are 2000 tiatrs staged per annum and
 the audience member ship is a whopping seven lacs nearly two thirds of
 the population of Goa (14 lacs at 2001 census) including 4 lacs of migrants
 .

 Politicians in power or those aspiring to be one  know too well the emotive
 appeal of thetiatr  asit acts as a barometer of their social
 standing or their performance as  this form of performing arts vibes
 strongly with the masses.  However all promised but none fulfilled . It
 provides not only entertainment invoking guffaws of laughter but it  depicts
 social evils, provides moral education to society and above all reflects the
 pulse of the society from time to time. With almost  500 feasts being
 celebrated in Goa on any given day  all 365/366 days of the year, no feast
 is complete without  a tiatr  -- a must see .  There are two books written
 thus far by Fausto Da Costa and another by Wilmix Wilson Mazarello, another
 one remembering the deceased is on the way by  Kokoy  John Gomes.
 Tiatrist or Konkani playwrights can broadly  be classified as those
 deceased, those performing until Liberation of Goa, those post
  Liberation and those since the beginning of the 21st century.

 It must be appreciated that CM has said that its time to settle the issue
 of Official Language once n for all. Well its true and needs to be addressed
 if at all the official language is to flourish. Lets not make it look like
 Hindus v/s Christian issue. Konkani in Roman Script is not dear to me but
 Konkani as Sole official language is.
 But please do not get misguided. For christians, and for that matter, every
 Goan, Konkani is the mother tongue. Thats y the Hindus in Goa are known as
 Konknnes not hindus, cause we are konkans. Somehow we christians have not
 got that label even though we are proud of it. We are Konknees first and
 then kristaum n hindus. Well i am not denying the fact that Marathi used to
 be language of the temples because of the relationship of the dominant
 maharashtrian influence on the hindu lifestlye, but it was not the language
 at homes. Even Christians used Latin for religious rites very long time
 back, but that dint mean latin would be our language.
 today the govt is funding migrant schools in urdu and kannada for the
 migrants. But Konkani is not even a subject in this schools. Is this the
 govt of Goans. Digamber is pumping 50 crores on urdu schools in margao. Our
 owls or old goverement schools are falling down in velsao n everywhere.
 Where is Konkani, forget even marathi. Parrikar dont push Marathi just
 because marathi is language of your schooling and prayer. konkanim is your
 mother tongue.
 The MGP still has notions of that Maharashtrian designs. Even after years
 they cant take the word Maharashtra of that party. The issue right now is
 not the script of the language. It s the issue about giving that status to
 Konkani as it really deserves. We should not fall prey to the fact that just
 because Roman script will be recognised, we should allow Marathi too, to be
 the official language of Goa. Konkani in Devnagri script is and shall be the
 official language of Goa. We christians have to accept this fact. I take
 great pride in opening the pages of Sunaprant on Goanews. Let us not allow
 marathi chauvinists to make merry by promising us the Roman script allibi.
 Christian MLAs should not fall prey to this googly.
 Lets resolve the issue as it is. Konkani in the Devnagri script is  the
 Official Language of Goa. And important thing be that  its used officially
 too in signages, compulsory for jobs and for all official matters. Marathi
 may be used along wiht status to Roman Script on par wiht Devanagri. But
 surely not Marathi on equal status.
 We too are goans and we dont speak marathi anywhere. Parrikar we are
 already under danger  of being eliminated by this influx of migrants. Lets
 save our goem for ourselves. Dont get another maratha invasion on goa.

 The term professional was hardly used to make separation. For all

 the only source of income. If in this respect they are called professional
 then it is technically correct. Ligorio Fernandes was a writer and his first
 job was aa a watch repairer.
 As for Tomazinho Cardozo, his primary job was as a teacher. He is a

 outside of kala academy.
 It is a different matter whether one can call him a renowned tiatrist. It
