The Rape of Goa - A photo documentary by Rajan P. Parrikar Venue: Menezes Braganza Art Gallery, Panjim, May 21-24, 2008 http://www.parrikar.org/misc/doc-notice.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dears, Read the moving limerick from a 75 year-old man who once lived in Goa...and loves it: Shanti Dhoot. Hear Hema Sardesai's Goa Zai and enjoy. Hema could do a lot for Goa only if she sheds her BJP baggage ...and does not board the Congress Airlines. Till then, even her best actions will not serve any purpose. Her intentions remain as suspect as they were on 18 December, 2006 at the GBA rally or 2007 at the GMAS rally. It does not matter with whom she allies. It is all about her intentions, really. Goa is like a jealous wife ...one cannot claim to love her while flirting with those who continue to prostitute her. Goa is no Panchali to be gambled at a Casino, either. Those who claim to be ardent supporters of the Bharat rashtra, should read the Mahabharat ...and learn from the errors highlighted therein ...or face the battle of the Crook-shetra! "One's own dharma, however imperfect, is better than another's dharma, however perfect." Bhagwan Shri Krishna's advice to Arjuna before going into battle at Kurukshetra in the "Bhagwad Gita" THOSE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO SEE IT REPEAT.

Hema has in fact pointed out in detail, what ails our beloved land. That should the government's immediate attention command. Her ringing manifesto details aspects of Goan culture Despoiled by more than one predatory vulture - It cannot and should not be dismissed offhand. This could well be the spark that starts a brush-fire, That ultimately takes us out of the dismal mire In which we now find ourselves caught. It has left us in a mental state bordering on the distraught, Wondering how to get to the Promised Land to which we aspire. - Shanti Dhoot From: "D'Souza, Avelino" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Hema seeks special status for Goa http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=052170 by RAMNATH N PAI RAIKAR PANAJI " If required, I am ready to come on the street in support of this demand, she added. The enemy of Goa can be anyone who promotes slums in the state for developing vote banks or otherwise, she observed, adding, The enemies can also be those who cut down the hills and bury the paddy field to raise concrete jungles over them, those who run the drug and paedophiliac operations in the state, especially in the coastal belts, and those who long for Portuguese to return to Goa to restart the colonial rule, she stated. -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
