COMMENTS: The Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP has promised Goans that Goa's Official Language shall be only KONKANI. That the mention of Marathi in the 8th. Schedule in context with Goa's Official Language shall be removed to give the Official Language Status to KONKANI alone. The Party stands by this promise and shall not back-down at any cost whether or not the electorate of Goa wishes that GSRP should lead Goa in the future through establishing GOA'S OWN HIGH COMMAND IN GOA, possibly in 2017. What GSRP's ROADMAP FOR GOA says on the Official Language of Goa. [II] GENERAL POLICIES 1. Official Language: Konkani shall be the sole Official Language of Goa. All official correspondence shall be in Konkani (Romi & Nagari), Hindi & English. The Party shall keep an open mind on the standardization of the script for Konkani by encouraging a proper time-bound pragmatic debate on this issue by excluding emotions and implement the decision arrived at with total commitment. Maximum Governmental funding or financial help shall be assured for the development of Konkani through audio-visual, print, cultural and other mediums. As far as Marathi language is concerned, it has the backing of a large State such as Maharashtra where, though there is a sizable population of Konkani speaking people, no recognition has been forthcoming for Konkani, unlike in the State of Karnataka. This Party proposes that, in case the Marathi protagonists in Goa are in a position to obtain for the Konkani language in Maharashtra the same status that they demand in Goa for Marathi, this Party will fully back their efforts for equal status for Marathi in Goa.
