First 'Goan Cities' then rename 'Goa': Beware of 'Hindutva Bugle' Warns GSRP
Goa Su-Raj Party (GSRP) lashes out at Hindu organizations - Hindu Janjagruti
Samiti, Bharat Swabhiman and Sanathan Sanstha for demanding changes in names of
Goan cities named by the Portuguese, calling it the sounding of the 'Hindutva
Bugle' and the people of Goa need to beware of such fundamental elements whose
primary objective is to establish 'Hindu Dharma Hindu Nation' and destroy the
secular fabric of Goa.
Speaking on the issue, Savio Rodrigues, Secretary President (Youth Affairs),
GSRP expressed, Goa is the only state to hold two consecutive Hindu Nation
Convention. This has been allowed because the government is ruled by the
right-wing political party BJP. The Hindu Nation theory aimed at regaining
India's past glory and shedding of the 'colonial hangover' is misplaced and
the way of going about it through fundamentalism is totally obnoxious and
intolerable. History cannot be wiped out by merely changing the names. This
is outright fanaticism. It is one thing trying to regain the past glory of the
Indian subcontinent as existed before 1947. But anything more than that is pure
garbage. Goa, for all that matters, has never been a part of India but a part
of the Indian subcontinent. The British were ruling a major part of the Indian
subcontinent, now called India [after 1947]. Likewise the Portuguese were
ruling Goa two and a half centuries
before the British came to the Indian subcontinent. Can this history be erased
by changing the names of cities? he asked.
Today, the Hindu organizations want to rename the cities, Later, they will
want to rename the state and who knows in the future they would want Portuguese
sounding name-holders to change their names to Hindu names, too, or some
RSS-BJP zombie like Giriraj Singh will tell them to go to Portugal just like
he wants those opposing Modi to go to Pakistan. Hinduism is a religion of
tolerance and acceptance, not an intimidating force. The concept of Hindustan
propagated by the Hindu organizations on the lines of an Islamic Nation is
itself flawed because the concept of Hindustan never existed till around the
time of the fight for Independence. Even our founding leaders of India wanted
governance devoid of religious interference, hence terming India as a 'secular'
nation, meaning acceptance of no religion, Rodrigues further elaborated.
The General Secretary of the Party, Floriano Lobo, upset about these fanatical
trends showing up in Goa said This is a dangerous trend which has
germinated in India, now showing its tentacles in Goa, perhaps, since the
attack by the RSS-BJP sponsored mob led by Naguesh Karmali on the
Mala-Fontainhas road and house plaques sporting Portuguese names, on 18 June,
2004, first time since 1961, and having gotten off scot free, thanks to the
then ruling BJP government. Such fanaticism must be condemned and such
organizations must be banned in the country, especially in Goa . BJP
government in Goa, he said must stem this 'Hindu Rashtra Disease' before it
erupts into an issue in this state bordering Hindu fanaticism and added it
is a million dollar question if the Goa BJP has the will to do so
