Rajan Narayan’s Apathy Towards Our Dead www.goanobserver.com
Looking at the cover story of Goan Observer of June 6, 2010, I was very much appalled to see a coloured photograph of Mickky happily dancing on Nadia Torrado’s grave, what sort of humour was Rajan Narayan aiming at, if at all it was humour. It was indeed distasteful and pathetic. Reporting on the ills or the colourful lifestyle of Mickky is one thing but making a mockery of our dead is most certainly uncalled for. Rajan Narayan’s apathy towards our dead is not acceptable. If Rajan Narayan want’s to get at Mickky there are lots of other ways than disrespecting our dead
Rajan Narayan has been in Goa for ages and should have known better than to hurt the feelings of the largest minority in Goa, If Rajan Narayan wants to derive some humour from the dead then he should do it of his own dead ones, if he does not respect his dead it his prerogative but trying to derive humour from our dead is not what we like.
We Christians consider our resting place sacred, and so our feeling should be respected. What ever her live was, she lived it, but in death, it is essential that we show some respect. Who are we to judge others when we ourselves are stuck in the muck one way or the other. Rajan Narayan should refrain from such callous humour. Would Rajan Narayan do the same to the other minority community ?
