Maoist's rebels, also known as Naxalites want to establish a communist society by overthrowing India's "semi-colonial, semi-feudal" form of rule………………and the arvind kejriwal founded Aam Admi Party (AAP) wants to overthrow India’s corrupt governance system where government ministers live in vast, state-owned villas; judges, generals and senior bureaucrats walk their dogs across well-watered lawns as servants scrub their government cars; where top politicians ministers mps mlas corporators & sarkari babus work for the benefit of builders corporates real estate & other lobbies; where the wives of unimaginably wealthy industrialists hold lunch parties catered by top chefs………….but I don’t know how exactly the Maoists or AAP if at all they come to power will be able to stop the migration of people from rural & backward districts & towns of India into the urban cities in search of jobs & better standard of living and what about the dalit christians/muslims who are not yet included in the reservation list and what about communal forces and what about population problems and what about female foeticide/infanticide problems….………as far as congress/bjp are concerned they are experts in playing the secular/communal game to remain in power………in the last two decades many large, medium & small scale industries from bombay have shifted to Gujarat so I am not surprised why Gujarat has now become a prosperous state………………..if the govt is monitoring the electronic communications of terrorists in order to prevent a terror attack that’s ok but if the govt will monitor the e-communications of social civic citizen rti environmental ecological anti-land acquisition & other Activists then that means the govt is controlled by rogue & corrupt politicians…………..NO Unlimited resources (land water oil gas gold silver diamond coal steel fruits foodgrains cement iron bricks houses etc etc etc) but all human beings have unlimited wants & needs SO no chance of peace in this world adding to the misery is the rapid increase in population of some communities who don’t believe in family planning.
In Bombay if any one who owns a flat or house above 500 sq. ft. will have to pay double BMC property tax………even if the flat/house is of 550 sq. ft…………so under the capital value system if the tax valued for the 550 sq. ft. flat/house for one year is say Rs.5,000/- the owner will have to pay double i.e. Rs.10,000/- property tax……..and after two years those who own below 500 sq. ft. flat/house will have to pay 40% more tax………..after 5 years again the tax rates will increase both for those who own above and below 500 sq ft flats/house…………….since majority of catholic villagers of bombay own between 500 to 800 sq. ft ancestral houses in the gaothans (villages) they are the hardest hit because they don’t have regular jobs to pay such huge property taxes…………..the Archbishop of Bombay i.e. Oswald Gracious expresses his sadness when some natural tragedy or other calamities or some communal problem happens in other parts of India but he does not express sadness on the tragedy of catholic villagers of bombay………in march 2013 when a rally was organized by some catholic villagers from juhu to parle to oppose the inclusion of the gaothans (villages) in the capital value system and 500 sq. ft. rule not a single priest from juhu church and parle church took part in that rally……………..it appears to me that the catholic clergy don’t want to take any risks by getting involved in political activism and they are content with the numbers & headcounts at the Sunday mass and the corresponding collections in the donation boxes. Catholic villagers of bombay have decade after decade faced threats attacks intimidations harassment from illegal-migrants landencroachers buildersmafia slumlords landmafia slumdwellers right-wing-hindu-groups………………..Catholic villagers of bombay have faced discrimination from the Maratha dominated police bmc collectorsoffice maharashtra govt…………….Catholic villagers of bombay have found it extremely difficult to get jobs here and those who got jobs were humiliated and tormented by their hindu co-workers…………due to unemployment many catholic villagers took to chronic alcoholism and died away………many catholic villagers out of poverty and desperation utilized part of their houses for giving on rent without making proper leave & licence agreements and keeping the tenant for more than 11 months……….and many catholic villagers who could not maintain their old & dilapidated houses gave their property to small time builders who not only cheated the owner by constructing ground plus one repair-permission houses with bad & low quality materials but the builder who sold off the first floor of the house for huge profits did not bother to share the profit with the owner………………….after loosing agricultural lands, ponds, wells, poultry, cattles, horses, bullocks, human rights, etc now the catholic villagers of bombay are also in the process of loosing their village dwellings, heritage crosses near the villages, church land, etc etc etc……………..THE CATHOLIC VILLAGERS of BOMBAY are DOOMED Forever & ever & ever………………although lay Catholic groups like CSF AOCC BCSABHA CROSS MCYF MGP SOUL are doing a commendable job in defending the last few bits of Catholicism/Christianity in bombay without any financial moral logistical political and other support from western governments……………the governments, newsmedia, political groups, etc in western countries are controlled by militant secularists, liberalists & atheists minded people so NO chance of any help to Christian groups here from western countries………..our only hopes are Lord Jesus Christ & Blessed Mother Mary. The problems of the catholic villagers in bombay began from the early 18th century when the Protestant Britishers allowed large number of Hindus from Gujarat & Maharashtra to settle in catholic bombay……………and the problems kept on multiplying for the next generation of catholic villagers………and increased manifold after 1960 when bombay was annexed by Maharashtra due to the re-organization of states………….I don’t know what were the reasons for some 8 or 10 catholics from Bandra to send a letter to the Governor of Bombay in 1887 proclaiming that all Catholic villagers in bombay would henceforth identify with the name eastindians in honour of the east india company………..neither I know what influence these 8 or 10 catholics had over all catholic villagers in bombay………..neither I know why all Catholic villagers in bombay decided to foolishly adopt the name eastindians……………what I know is the east india company has gone forever and bombay is on the west of india and for the original sons of soil of bombay to continue identifying with the name eastindians is the most foolish thing in the entire world………except for the goan & mangalorean catholics NOBODY in the world knows who eastindians in bombay are because of the inappropriate name eastindians………the marathi migrants here who in the last 50 years have changed the history geography culture of bombay because of their brute majority think that the eastindians in bombay are migrants……………….The BEIA that was setup in 1887 by a small group of misguided catholics does not have a dedicated office even in the 21st century and the present day few office bearers of the BEIA meet on Saturday at a small corner in the bandra gymkhana for a few hours to discuss what I don’t know because so far I have not come across any news of the BEIA members agitating for quota in govt jobs municipal jobs police jobs etc etc etc for Catholic villagers of bombay………….neither I have heard any news of the BEIA members organizing any rally at azad maidan or shivaji park to highlight the ecomomic & other problems that catholic villagers of bombay have been facing………neither I have come across any news of the BEIA sending a dossier related to the problems Catholic Villagers of bombay have been facing to the United Nations, International Human rights groups, CNN BBC ALJAJEERA etc etc etc…….but what I know is that as long as the BEIA exists till then Catholic villagers of Bombay will be foolishly known by the name eastindians………..hence it is important to dismantle the BEIA forever…………..and setup a new association with the name Bombay Catholic Villagers Association or any other meaningful name. I know there are many Catholics/Christians in other parts of India who have adopted Hindu names to conceal their catholic/christian identify………….but here in bombay inspite of all the terrorism that has been unleashed on catholics/chritians almost all the catholics/christians have catholic/christian names………….The command to endure suffering is just another part of a Christian's life. Faithful Christians of all ages have suffered; we are not the only ones. We should be prepared for more sufferings to come. IT WOULD BE VERY NICE IF POPE FRANCIS ALLOWS 50 LAKH SLUMDWELLERS FROM BOMBAY TO SETTLE IN AND AROUND VATICAN CITY SO THAT THE POPE & VATICAN ADMINISTRATION CAN PRACTICALLY EXPERIENCE THE ILL-EFFECTS OF OVER-POPULATION i.e. poverty, lack of peace, lack of education, lack of jobs, lack of housing, lack of hygiene, lack of sanitation medicines health care, lack of transport, food shortage, water shortage, land shortage, growth of slums, anger, fights, beating, shouting, quarrels, crying, breaking of things, arson, rioting, communal disharmony, forced begging, forced labor, committing variety of crimes, various nefarious activities like smuggling, settling personal feuds or in creating trouble during elections, mob mentality and damage and burning of public and private property. No import-export business…….No manufacturing business……….No wholesale business………No retail business……..No poultry business……….No agricultural business…….…….the only business of MPs MLAs Corporators in Bombay is to serve the Builders lobby & Slumdwellers…………in return for funds & votes…………..and no lessons learnt from the 26/7 cloudbursts……........all the last few bits of openspaces mangroves saltpanlands etc are up for development and if there is another cloudburst expect 10 times more damage than what happened on 26/7.
