WAS IT A MODI WAVE OR AN ANTI-CONGRESS WAVE?

 

The victory of BJP in the just concluded election according to many was due to Modi wave but according to me this victory was due to anti-Congress wave similar to anti-Indira wave following the emergency rule in India.  The way Emergency rule excesses hurt the people of India  in the same way during the last decade the Congress rule of corruption, arrogance and pride has hurt the common folks of India. What a grand “Dadagiri” Congress rule has not displayed!! During the last one decade of Congress rule in India the Congress rulers looted India thru Scams and Corruption at all levels.  The worst part of it was that they did not care for anyone and for anything. The sentiments of the people of India were totally ignored by the Congressmen who were immune to the feelings of the poor in India. They treated India as their monopoly to act the way they deemed it right without caring for the sentiments and requirements of the masses.

The late Indira Gandhi and her family members have misused the name of Gandhi giving an impression that they are related to Mahatma Gandhi. In fact Mahatma Gandhi and Indira’s husband Feroze Gandhi are two distinct entities having no relationship whatsoever. It was just a coincidence that one Parsee gentleman Feroze Gandhi got married to a Brahmin Hindu Indira Nehru; hence Indira inherited the family name Gandhi from her husband. If Gandhiji was alive during the emergency rule he would be ashamed to be called Gandhi because by introducing emergency rule in India in 1975, Indira Gandhi has disgraced even the fair name called Gandhi.

Following  the independence of India, Gandiji recommended disbanding of Congress party but the selfish Congressmen headed by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru refused to accept this proposal because they wanted to wear the robes of Monarchs by being Congressmen.  Congress party never cared to give clean government, it was never corruption-free, always tainted and Monarchical type.  Winston Churchill once warned Clemente Atlee not to hand over power of India into the hands of Congress because as he said the Congressmen will wear the robes of Monarchs in India by exploiting the poor masses.

In the last election Congress in a disguised manner projected Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial candidate when he is unfit to rule India.  And on top of it all the Congressmen nodded their heads in approval.  Why this servility for Rahul Gandhi?  What was his superlative record in the past that qualified him to rule India?  Was he an author of New Deal Economy like American President Roosevelt?  He showed no caliber to rule India, he was foisted on the Congress Party by force against his wishes and finally he made a big joke of himself. He is unfit politician in India and unfit orator to capture the ears of the voters unlike Modi. He and his mother are responsible for the debacle of Congress in this election. They must be made aware that they are not indispensable.  It is a pity that even among them the Congressmen give hero worship to Sonia and Rahul who consider themselves not as equal with others but more equal. 

Congressmen are under the impression that only the members of Nehru family can do the role of a Hinge to keep the party united. Because of this feeling the Congress Party is enslaved to Nehru family members and this factor finally let down the Congress in the last election.  Even in this defeat they still have a feeling that they are born to rule only as Indian Monarchs.

TIATRO "MHAKA TUJI GOROZ NA" By Jenny de Germany.

 
 
“MHAKA  TUJI  GOROZ  NAAM” Tiatro written and directed by Jenny de Germany was staged on 18th of this month at Kala Academy A/C Hall, Panjim, starting at 10.30 AM.  It was thinly attended by the audience.  Musical score was nicely provided by Anthony de Velim and his troupe.

The story was very meaningful related to the very many current happenings in our community where unfaithful husbands leaving their wedded wives and go after their concubines thereby destroying their own  married life as well as that of theirs concubines.  This is what exactly shown in this Tiatro by Jenny de Germany. It is a double sin and a double curse where the God’s punishment is the most severe though it may not be immediately but surely ultimately.

The other aspect shown in this Tiatro was the mistake many Gulf employed Goans make by surrendering their wealth into the hands of their wives who finally desert their husbands and leave them on the streets.

The play was enacted by all the competent artistes males and females though they all were not well known professionals nor heavyweights, most of them were new faces and being so they deserve highest compliments for performing their roles so well.  Jenny’s selection of these artistes was excellent and all of them will be a good asset to the Konkani Stage. 

As per the available information, a year back Jenny de Germany  booked the well-known artistes for this Tiatro but to her surprise at the eleventh hour they refused to honour their promise and as a challenge she got a new group which proved to be  a talented and successful.  Inspite of being a woman, Jenny de Germany spared no stone unturned to make this Tiatro a success.  Currently it is being staged all over Goa and of course to the delight of the audience.  This Tiiatro gives a very good lesson to those unfaithful husbands who by leaving their real wives are keeping concubines and yet shamelessly moving in society.

Since this Tiatro  conveys a very good moral lesson, the Church in Goa must make a point to stage it all over Goa thru the local Pe. Vigars because what Church cannot preach Jenny  de Germany preached thru this Tiatro. But will our Pe. Vigars come forward for this?  I doubt very much because many of our Pe. Vigars themselves are guilty of the sin called Concubinage as they are having Concubines not only in ones and in twos but in dozens because easy money flowing in their hands without any hard work.

 In the comedy roles, Jenny de Germany excelled very well and she was ably supported by Ortencio and Jalu while in the main Play Anjela, Bushan and Antonette played their roles extremely well. Even though she resides in Germany yet Jenny de Germany showed lot of maturity by acting like a seasoned artiste. She is as good as any of the seasoned Goa based professional artistes. Like a captain in the Cricket team, she played her captain's  inning very well.  
 
Regarding the side show songs, in the absence of topmost singers this part of the Show did not rise to the expected level and because of this there was not much thrill in the hall.
