After my interaction with different communities and nationalities, my
conclusion is that we Goan community is the best culturally, traditionally and
historically though due to the swallowing of Goa by Bharat in December 1961 Goa
is changed a lot. This change came
because of the influx of non-Goans from Bharat into our Goa with their harsh
and dirty cultural, traditional and historical habits. This foreign culture is called “SALA BANCHOT”
culture implanted on Goa on the very first day when uninvited Bharati troops
without consulting us ousted Portuguese from Goa. The first Bharatis who entered Goa came by
uttering all the vulgar and rough words and harsh statements, main being “Sala
Banchot”. When those Bharatis uttered this statement it created a chilling
effect and negative energy all
around Goa.
The early Bharati teachers in the post December 1961 period who came to
Goa as teachers in English schools from other parts of Bharat brought this Sala
Banchot culture in Goa and passed it on to Goan students. When Fr. Mendonca the then principal of
Arpora School noticed this from one Malyali Hindi teacher in 1963, he
terminated his service and said Arpora school should not recruit any such
teachers because they are spoiling our Goan students who are culturally very
rich. Moreover, said Fr. Mendonca the accent of Malyalis being unEnglish our
Goan students get confused to follow their teaching. If you carefully observe
the discipline and character of the Goans born and brought up after 1961 December,
you will see them having lot of vulgar and harsh Bharati habits which are
foreign to Goa.
A few days back a small Goan boy who was a student of primary school
while discussing something with his colleague when they were going to school, without
any shame loudly uttered a statement
saying “You Sala Banchot”. This Goan boy is studying in the same school where
“Ghantti” students outnumber Goans because in that locality there reside many
Ghanttis and they enrolled their children in the Church run school in that
locality. These Ghantti students by
virtue of being Ghanttis are known for their bad habits and rough terminology
which our Goan students also learn and acquire from them to use as routine thereby
prostituting decent Goan culture.
It is a pity that our children are become victims of the bad habits of
Ghanttis. Culturally compared to Goans,
Ghanttis are very backward but unfortunately by acquiring their bad habits our
Goan children also become bad and for this reason the Goan generation developed
after the exit of Portuguese from Goa are totally different in character from
those Goans developed earlier.
Even many of the priests born and brought up after December 1961 are
harsh and corrupt compared to those of earlier period. Because they are so, they misuse their
priestly facilities by indulging themselves in corruption and many times vomiting
Serpentine venom from the Altar as if the holy Altar is the kingdom of Satan.
They are Satanic priests.
Many of the Goan parents of school going children where Ghantti students
are also studying, are in a rude shock
to see their children acquiring all the
bad habits of Ghantti children and a few of the parent are even thinking to remove their children
from the present schools and enroll them elsewhere. But where else they will find Ghantti – free
schools in Goa? Almost all the schools in the villages are
filled with Ghantti children and their money power is greater than that of
Goans. Not only Goan schools are filled with Ghantti students but also Goa is
filled with Ghanttis. Not only this,
even the air Goans inhale in Goa is filled with Ghantti smell. Goa is Ghantti-ised with a SALA BANCHOT
CULTURE.
