It is with regret and
concern for the safety of Goans I am writing this on the “goondagiri" of
the Ghattis and thereby to force all the physically capable Goans to rise up
and RISE UP NOW AT THIS MOMENT not only in Sinquering and Candolim alone but
also in other villages in Goa, rise up
not only in Bardez and Salcette only but also in other areas and districts of
Goa to stop the brute and “Ranvotti” brutality of the disgraceful Ranvotti and
“Rostad ”Ghanttis” who are not only doing goondagiri in our midst but also trying to impose fear into
our hearts and minds
Seen in all the photos here is Manuel Pereira in the GMC
According to my
observation, the Ghattis and other migrants in Goa have analysed the psychology
and discipline of our genuine Goans, they have noticed the non-militant
attitude of genuine Goans and taking advantage of these qualities of genuine
Goans which otherwise are the best
qualities, these disgraceful Indian Ghattis who are coming to Goa to destroy
us in the name of gaining their livelihood, it looks to me they are preparing to liquidate us from our land. By using this
type of tactics, Jews before establishing of their current State of Israel,
used to de-Palestinian Arab Palestine from their land and houses by creating
fear complex into the hearts of Arab Palestinians and thus forcibly and thru
intimidaton they, the Jews occupied the Palestinian land forcibly and the poor Arab
Palestinians – Christians and Muslims - had to run away elsewhere to save their
life. Thus the original Palestinians were uprooted from their own houses and
their homeland. Similarly, I think this
will be the exact policy of these Ghattis to get us evicted from our houses and
our land. For this reason about 40 years
back in Vasco there was strong opposition from the genuine Goans against the
disgraceful non-Goans who occupied our land and denied business privileges for
Goans. Irrespective of their religious
affiliations, the genuine Goans in Vasco evicted these non-Goans from Vasco,
they went to such an extent that they have even burnt the “khomttis” of those
Ghattis and non-Goans. This news was
even echoed in the Parliament forcing some MP’s to condemn parochial minded
Goans. For them it was parochial
thinking of Goans but when we think of metropolitan then we stand to lose
because Goa is small and as such we have to guard our interest very strongly.
As it is, I am given to understand in Kuwait by one top Indian diplomat that
New Delhi has a plan to liquidate Goa from the Map of India and of the World and also
of Goans from Goa and relocate them elsewhere.
For this reason, the Centre was very much in favour of Goa’s merger with
Maharastra whence the name Goa would surely uprooted and Goans woud be called
Maharastrians. The main reason for this
is that Goa’s case of invasion of Goa on 19.12.61 will remain alive as a thorn
to India as long as Goa remains as Goa.
Indian government from Delhi was certain that Goa would lose the Opinion
Poll and Centre has even played its cunning role in favour of merger of Goa
with Maharasra but as I believe, we won the Opinion Poll thru a real
miracle, this miracle was created by none other than the almighty God and He is
the mighty God of all who believe in one God whom they approach thru different
religions.
These Ghattis who are
coming to Goa even do not know to say good morning, they never go to school in
their areas and their government don’t even provide them schools and other
civilized facilities. For this reason
the people from Dodamarg are clamouring to merge with Goa. These Ghattis are worse than negroes in Goa during the
Portuguese regime, for this reason during those days we Goans or at least some
at somewhere in Goa used to associate everything bad with the negroes. In the same way, now in the name of fake
liberation of Goa which was imposed on us by indian government of “fotting”
Nehru the father of “volkott” dictator Indira Gandhi having Hitlerian blood in
her veins because of which she introduced cruel Emergency in 1975, the basterdised
tribe among the unwanted Ghattis from the most backward region of India, “Ghatts” are descending on my clean Goa by
taking advantage of the fake liberation of Goa and dirty my otherwise so clean Goa that it is very
difficult to clean it now. These Ghattis
are much worse than those negroes behaving like “Ranvotti Zanvaram” and by
using this behaviour of Wild animals, on 7th of this month at
Sinquerim Bardez, bordering Candolim, one bastard Ghatti with a heavy “Danda”
(Motto Tonko) hit one of our locals, a niz Goenkar Manuel Pereeira residing at
Sinquerim that falls within the jurisdiction of Caandolim Panchayat. The Ghatti silently came from behind
without giving any clue of his following Manuel, hit Manuel on his shoulder so
hard that Manuel fell unconscious and the Ghatti then disappeared from that
scene. Then Mauel’s close friends came and took Manuel to the
Candolim Health Center where doctors advised Manuel’s friends to take him to
GMC immediately because his bone was broken needing immediate operation.
The animosity of that Ghatti against Manuel was
because Manuel it seems told him not to throw the Garbage next to Manuel
residence. As per one source while hitting Manuel that Ghatti was shouting
saying “I will kill you – I will kill you, I will kill all the Goans”. He was then arrested by the Calangute Police and
is remanded to Police custody for 6 days.
Personally I feel there
is a deep animosity between Manuel and Goans on one side and on the other side
Ghattis and non-Goans who are trying to liquidate Manuel and some Goans because
of some reasons one of them is political one.
Four years back during the
peaceful agitation organized in Panjim by the supporters of Fr. Bismarq to
mark the anniversary of the unravelled murder
of Fr. Bismarq, Manuel was arrested in the Ferry Boat itself while going to
Panjim to participate in this agitation in Panjim, it was a big scene at that
time when it was headlined by the Goan Press and TV too. Manuel is otherwise a strong activist
involved in supporting social causes and his political affiliation goes in
favour of Aam Admi. Unless a thorough
probe is conducted, we will not come to know the genuine reason of this crime because as Shakephere said "there are more things in Heaven than what we dreamt" (Hamlet). Police from Calangute Police Station must find out who are the persons behind
that Ghatti, it was a very well planned attack on Manuel and it did not happen
just at the spur of the moment.
Meantime we all the genuine
Goans have to join together to counter the attack of these rascal Ghattis who when
they came to our side first time without
even proper “Kaxtti” and while
their women without even proper dress to cover their bodies properly, we gave
them shelter to live and to work but not
to do the dadagiri with us. But after
all a “Ghatti is the Ghatti”, he will never leave his brutality because in
Ghanttar where he is born and brought up he was developed and grown up by doing
goondagiri and dadagiri because it was his survival that is most important to
him as we say “survival of the fittest”.
And as such these Ghattis will never give up their goondagiri. It is said in our language Konkani “Mazor
Himsan soddit pun he Ghatti Dadagiri kednanch soddchenant”. We
must form our groups in our villages and Vaddos comprising physically fit
Goans, mainly the youth to defend our Goans from the onslaught not only of the
Ghattis but also of others who threaten us and our survival. We must have contact of every person of such
groups so that during any eventuality we must contact the members of these
groups who will come to the rescue of the Goans who are in need of assistance.
This is the time to strengthen ourselves.
A few days back in Benaulim because of Taxi business some Ghattis or migrants
indicated their might to us Goans,
yesterday Manuel was assaulted, today something else has happened and
tomorrow it could be anything worse.
Hence, it is better that we should now only build our groups to defend us
Goans. And as far as possible, we must stop patronizing their goods and
services because economically weakened Gatti or migrant will be handicapped to
flex his muscles.
The Ghatti who assaulted
Manuel, according to my latest information is the resident of Candolim Araddy where with the blessing of our
politicians it was converted into a safe haven for these Ghattis and
migrants. According to my information in
this place that is called “Ghattianchi Araddy”, lot of Illicit activities are
going on, some are with the blessings of the politicians. It is my firm suggestion to the local
Panchayat to get full details of all the people living in Ghattiachi Araddy so
that they can be tracked immediately if they are found for doing any murder or
robbery or any other ill deed. Last time one Ghatti assaulted one local from
Vaddi Candolim but when the battalion of the assaulted Goan came to catch the
Ghatti, he disappeared not only from Candolim Ghattianchi Araddy but he
disappeared from Goa itself. Because of
this we need to know the biodata of every migrant living in Ghattiachi Araddy
to trace and to track them for any need.
Besides, as per my
informasion, all those Ghattis and Migrants living in Ghattiachi Araddy are
having voting rights. But to my
knowledge they are also having voting rights in their own states from where
they are come. How these voters were
given voting cards in Goa without cancelling their voting cards in their home
States? Is it the job of the local
Panchayat or local MLA or the local politicians? Those politicians who are
interested in reducing the support of the local politicians relying on the vote
bank of Candolim Araddy ghattis, must act fast on this point because most of
the voters here will readily surrender
their voting cards from Goa but not surely from their home states even though
according to one source one local politician is easily giving each
household 5 to 10 thousand rupees
because he makes so much of money thru dubious means otherwise without acting as Dr. Jackeyl and Mr. Hyde you cannot accumulate such an enermos wealth which is displayed thru the pompous ways of living and having innumerable concubines for sexual pleasures.
Now a local man Manuel
Pereirs was assaulted by a Ghatti. What
is going to be the role of other locals, Sinquerkars and Candoicars? Just to keep silence and watch more of such
incidents happening in our midst? When Aguada Khapris – negroes – at Candolim
Dando next to Sinquerim, killed the son
of the Professor of the Parochial School of the then mighty Tiatrist Alexinho de Candolim, during the Portuguese rule, Alexinho de Candolim became so furious that he
immediately composed a powerful song which he was not allowed to sing in Goa by
the Portuguese government of Goa but he went to Bombay and rended it there in
Bombay and its echo was heard in Goa creating a solid effect. The piercing and
result creating effects of that song were such that the people of Candolim was
forced to get up from their deep sleep when one of their villagers was killed
by an outsider and that too by the Khapris bought by the Portuguese from their African colonies Angola & Mocambique? Herebelow I quote a few lines of that magnificent song that even shook the brute might of the colonialists in Goa and their local "Chamcha" Regidore.

ANIK KHUIMCHEAI GANVANT GHODDTI

Now, my question to
the people of Sinquerim and Candolim is this:
It is so many days now the bloody shittty non Goan and outsider assaulted our own Goan brother, why all the people of Sinquerim and Candolim
are silent? Otherwise they should have
geraoed the house of that bloody Ghatti.
Where are the leaders of Candolim and Sinquerim gone now? Are they sleeping now? What sort of leaders are they? Where are our people’s representatives gone
now? Is it an irrelevant issue to them? Can
we expect any justice and support from our MLA/Minister in favour of Mnuel
Pereira? At this stage even if Manuel is
wrong we have to defend him because he is our man. Do we the Candoikar and Sinquerkar have guts to fight these Ghattis?
If Sinquerkars and Candoicars
are real sons and daughters of their real Goan fathers then they will show our
anger not only to the Ghatti who assaulted our Goan brother but to all the
Ghattis and migrants flooding every evening our Tinto where they are creating
fear complex against the locals. At this moment we canot say "makam kiteak poddlam"? If you say so then I will ask one more question. "Tukam poddonk na zaleaar tujea maechea Minnak poddlam" Tukaim poddonk na ani makaim poddonk na zalear niti passot konn zogoddtolo? This is not the time for us to escape from our responsibilities especaially by the local elected leaders. They must all, the elected leaders who are voted by the people come out opoenly and declare their stand on this topic. If they are real leaders having real calibre of leadership then they will support Manuel Pereira. It is their time now to indicate their stand, either they are for the local Goan Manuel Pereira or they are supporting non-Goans Ghattis.
