GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)
Dissemination of Ignorance You seem to pay your columnists for disseminating ignorance. Tomazinho Cardozo (03/06) has, a la Goebels, restated his oft debunked lie that Dalgado Konknni Akademi “was established in 1989 in order to fight the injustice meted out to Konkani in Roman script.” I am enclosing herewith a Xerox copy of the title page and verso of the only publication of this academy, “Konkani Orthography in Roman Script.” The verso clearly states that the “booklet of rules and principles prepared by a special committee appointed by Dalgado Konknni Akademi” was published in 1988. Now Tomazinho Cardozo could care to explain: (1) how an academy which was established in 1989 could have published, in 1988, a booklet prepared by its own committee, (2) in what way this booklet contributes to the pursuit of the avowed objective stated by him, and (3) what activities were undertaken by the academy for 15 years, between June 1989 and May 2004, in pursuance of that objective. Until he does this, let him hold his peace on this issue. Yours truly, (S. M. Borges) Nagdoli, Velim – 403 723. Date: 06/06/2009. Encl.: Xerox copy as above. - Forwarded by goa-world.com as received.
