EYEWITNESS TO TIATRO "AKANTVADI GOEANT NAKA"
Seen above is Tausif de Navelim.
Bravo Tousif de Navelim for your excellent Tiatro you staged
on 17th of this month at Kala Academy, Panaji, starting exactly at
scheduled time 10.30 AM. This Tiatro was attended almost by 900 attendees and
it was a total success both as attendance wise as well as performance wise. Thru this Tiatro you spread the message of love, peace and brotherhood.

Somewhere in 1957, Alexinho de Candolim went to Bombay to
stage his well-known Tiatro “To Bavtto Dhormancho”. All the arrangements have been
done but suddenly on the eve of the staging of this Tiatro at Bhangwaddy Hall,
the news of Alexinho de Candolim’s imminent arrest just before the start of the
Tiatro was leaked out, on the grounds that this Tiatro was in support of
Portuguese “Bavtto”. The nationalists
based in Bombay like Evargio Jorge and others were on forefront to get Alexinho
de Candolim arrested without knowing the contents of this Tiatro but only on
assumption that this Tiatro was based on Portuguese Bavtto. Having no choice, Alexinho de Candolim evading
arrest, on the eve of this Tiatro at night time, fled from Bombay on way to
Goa. This Tiatro’s story was actually based on our Christian religion and not
on politics. But the idiot nationalists unnecessarily wanted to put Alexinho de
Candolim into problem.

Similarly,
the Hindu fanatics from Karnataka in collaboration with some Goan Hindu
fanatics on wrong assumption that the Tiatro “Akantvadi Goeant Nakam” is based
on their leader Muthalik, wanted to stop
staging this Tiatro in Goa starting from the scheduled first show at Margao. It
was wrong on their part to assume without seeing this Tiatro that it was
directly directed against Muthalik and his pro-Hindu organization. Muthalik and Hindus like him are afraid that their
Hinduism may weaken in Goa and to protect it from getting it into weakened they
are making desperate attempts to frighten others. In fact, Hinduism is a very powerful religion and nobody can shake it especially in Goa.

Why Muthalik only, even the father of the nation Mahatma
Gandhi himself showed his concern for the survival of Hinduism in India when
he said and as quoted by the late Zulficar Ali Bhutto in his masterpiece “If I
Am Assassinated” that “If Islam and Christianity are uprooted from India it
will still flourish elsewhere in the world but if Hinduism is uprooted from
India, it will disappear from this planet. Hence, the need to protect Hinduism
in India”. But by what means? Thru
Swords and violence? Violence is against Hinduism because the core of Hinduism
is Non-Violence and those who suggest the means of violence to protect Hinduism
are doing injustice to the great religion Hinduism. And by the way, secondly, who the hell are
these non-Goans to control us Goans?
What right these outsiders got to dictate us what to do and what not to do?
They and for that matter none from outside Goa has authority to dictate us
anything. We know what is good and what
is bad for us.
To be concluded.
