GOA - THE WORD BEACON OF PEACE.

My dear Goans,                                                                                  1-1-2015

 

Warm greetings and wishes for 2015 YEAR of PEACE from Goan Gaunkar to Goan Family in Goa and Worldwide, and I take this opportunity to convey you my findings about Peace.  

 

World knows that Goans are sossegad, Portuguese word for “Peace of mind” labeled from Goan Gaunkari Republics system (Communidades) that are so peaceful that today are not capable to burn a bicycle tire where some others will burn, bicycles, cars, busses, trains, women, people, communities, churches, religious structures and become heroes of nonviolence with poisonous mindset blocking any development and change.       

                                                     

 

Also sossegad is used to label Goans as lazy for character assassination for exploitation of rich natural resources.  

   

 

The epistemology of word sossegad conducted on over five thousand years of existence of Goan Gaunkari Republics, included a book by eminent Goan named Flilipe Neri Xavier titled “Bosquejos Historicos das Communidades” that records that Goa was always conquered under different conquerors. “Goans will use Peace and not the Bullet to survive” - If the intruder was benevolent would sign agreement and pay protection fee like was done with Portugal for 451 years, if not would vacate the land and their daughters and sons will return to the same ancestral place like today the brutal intruder that in last 53 years is exploiting rich resources, conducting Silent Ethnic Cleansing in particular of Catholics assisted by migrants with voting rights, reducing Goans to minority to be extinct soon, is also forcing worldwide exodus.

 

 

Unlike any other indigenous in the world Gaunkars in Goa maintained the genetic identity/DNA associated to mother land so much “One can’t separate Goan from Goa and Goa from Goan”.  Anthropologists might correct me if I’m wrong that in my opinion Gaonkari are peaceful due to richest and fertile soil in the region that granted 100% food security essential to peaceful development of society like was during the Great Emperor Ashoka in Indian subcontinent. Gaunkaris are farmers by excellence with a governance for peace, happiness and development and never ever would commit suicide like is happening today outside Goa.  

 

 

 

Today Peace is Stronger than Bullet in Goa that is evident when during last 53 years of conquest not a single drop of blood was wasted on our mother land from brutal Indian conqueror that is exploitation rich natural resources and transforming from a peaceful and civilized nation Goa like a Little Europe into a brothel like it was in 1510 when the Portuguese conquered.                        

 

 

Ironically the massive military presence in Goa is obsolete that not a single bullet could be fired on Goans that are unarmed, like the school children of Pheswar in Pakistan that were massacred by Thalibans.

Yes, Peace is Stronger than Bullet in Goa and the Goan Gaunkari Republics (Communidades) are protected by the United Nation Indigenous Rights and will be registered as World Heritage.

The message is that “Goa is the World Beacon of Peace” and the New Year Resolution is to make 2015 Year of Peace for Goan dreams to become reality.  

 

I apologize for taking your time for Goan cause.

Deu borem corum.

TIATR ACADEMY MONTHLY MEET.

 

Yesterday, 30.12.14, Tiatr Academy of Goa organised a function in Panjim, at 4.30 PM, in honour of 16 Tiatr personalities who all are dead but all were born in this month.  Organising such functions monthly once is the trend set in motion by Tiatr Academy of Goa.  Lot of efforts is put in organizing such functions by TAG headed by Prince Jacob.  But what is regrettable is the fact that it is not marketed properly to draw the attention of the Tiatr lovers and precisely because of this deficiency very few people attend  these function as it happened today.  It hurts me to say that there were hardly 35 people in attendance today when the significance of this event is so great and it was so informative on historical point of view.

 

William seen speaking

In today’s function some of the giants of Konkani Stage were remembered and their contributions in the promotion of Tiatros were highly eulogized by the researchful matter delivered to the audience by William, Coney M. and Anil Kumar.

Prince Jacob welcomed the gathering and handed over the podium to William who spoke on 5 Tiatrists namely, Pai Tiatrist Joa Agostinho Fernandes, Miss Carlota, Andrew Fernandes, Anthony Mendes and Young Menezes while Coney M. spoke on P.Nazareth, Rosario Dias, Vincente de Saligao and Sebastian Miranda (Tiatro Contractor) and finally Anil Kumar spoke on Florence Fernandes, Nolasco Dias, John Gomes Kokoy, Sucurro Piedade de Verna,  Rosario de Souza de Taleigao and Rex de Bardez. 

Coney M. speaking

Next time TAG must try to find out some elder Tiatrists and more knowledgeable persons who can deliver better and more information on the late Tiatrists.  Since it is a paid job as per my information, I feel TAG should hunt different persons to throw more light on the dead Tiatrists.

The speakers must try to highlight on the ideology and philosophy of the Tiatrists they speak on and not just the history and if necessary, quote some matter of their performances like a verse or two of their memorable songs.

Anil Kumar speaking

 

Speaking on Young Menezes’ epic song of 500 words as indicated by William, it was a fast pace song and being very lengthy, he was so exhausted while singing that he even was bending in front and holding his hands on his stomach to control himself.  When somebody from the audience said it did not contain 500 words, Kid Boxer came on to the Stage with the script and challenged anyone to prove it was not while offering Rs. 500/- to that person otherwise the challenger had to pay Rs. 500/-  Finally nobody came forward and the matter ended there.  It was somewhere in 1955 in Candolim.  Secondly it was not Young Menezes who introduced Rap type of songs on Konkani Stage but Kid Boxer.  Young Menezes was perfect in forming appropriate Rhyming for his songs and none can beat him in this segment till now.

Regarding Rex de Bardez, he worked in Kuwait for few years till August 1990 and later part of his life as Gospel preacher in Goa.  He staged his one Tiatro in Kuwait for which as a Chief Guest he brought especially from Goa Shri Churchill Alemao. He was a very good, melodious and bold singer and an excellent composer.  His added advantage was that he was very fast composer and could on the spot sing one verse and one chorus on any given topic.  Such a fast composer I am yet to see on Konkani stage. Best of his Stage performances he performed in Kuwait.

ECOLOGICAL DESTRUCTION IN CANDOLIM.

 

Candolim village is very famous in many respects.  In this village there is one world famous Vaddo known as “Pintos” Vaddo made known worldwide by the world famous son of this Village and Vaddo,  Abe Faria the world renowned Hypnotist.  Also, Pintos Vaddo in Candolim gained worldwide publicity because of the Pintos revolution initiated by the Pinto people from this Vaddo “Pintos” in Candolim.  Attached to this Vaddo is a small hamlet like place called Araddy touching the Hill and where there were very few houses.  Earlier this place was inhabited  by the locals only but recently due to land price rise there is a big demand for this place even tempting the big builders to hunt for land there.  The infrastructure is very thin there for building mega projects where only the non Goans occupy these projects thereby upsetting the demographic structure not only of this are but also of Goa as a whole.

According to elders, the Candolim Church in the beginning was to be built in Araddy Vaddo and even preliminary work for this job was conducted and the first phase of excavation was done.  However, to due unknown reasons, this project was shelved at Araddy and shifted to a place where the present Church is majestically standing now.

Earlier because of small local population it was only one Araddy but now it is devided into two Araddys, original Araddy is called Old Araddy and the other is New Araddy where new settlers mainly the Migrants built their settlements with the blessing and nod of the local authorities.  This is one method by the local politicians to create a Vote Bank for them.

In Old Araddy one mega project was already built there and occupied by the non-Goans, the second one is under construction and the third one is about to begin where the area is readied for putting a fence.  In this area there are lot of productive trees and plants  which naturally will be cut to make way for the new construction.  By cutting these Trees and Plants there will be negative effect on ecology which is to be protected by all means.  The local authorities has already cleared this project without realizing the bad effect on ecology which by all means has to be protected.

It is right time now for the social activists and the protectors of Ecology in Goa to intervene in this matter.  Also, it is imperative now for reviving Congress Party under its new Boss Luizinho Faleiro to find out from the local authorities the genuineness of this case because local authority owes its allegiance to Congress Party.
