JINNAH ZINDABAD.
Among all the leaders of undevided India, I admire Mohammad Ali Jinnah the most. His ferocity and intelligence to outbeat all the top and mighty Hindu leaders showed how clever and great he was. His argumentation and challenges to Nehru, Sardar Patel and Gandhiji showed Jinnah’s smartness. He never trusted Nehru and other Hindu leaders though he had full faith in Gandhiji’s sincerity. For this reason he told Gandhiji: “Mr. Gandhi, for me to trust, there is only one Gandhi in India and that is you”. If Nehru and Patel and also others of their ilk showed little understanding to Jinnah’s views, today we would not see India portioned. That India was portioned was a blessing in disguise for Indians is another matter yet my admiration goes to Jinnah for his single handedly fight for the establishment of Pakistan.
Though Jinnah fought for the creation of Pakistan, but it was Poet Iqbal who conceived the idea of forming a separate homeland for Muslims from the sub-continent. In his fight for Pakistan Jinnah defied all the top Congressmen of highest stature and because of this I admire Jinnah. To defy and challenge great Indian Congress Party stalwarts was not an easy task, it was a job of really a gigantic figure and Jinnah was one such gigantic figure in undevided India. He never trusted fanatic Hindu mentality and their domination. He wanted to destroy fanatic Hindu “dadagiri” by putting forward his agenda and he did it while he was alive by partioning India, of course to the satisfaction of his followers and to the grief of Gandhiji. Nehru and his supporters internally wanted partition because thru partition they wanted to break the majority of Muslims in undevided India. And this is exactly what has happened otherwise Muslims in undevided India would gain upper hand which fanatic Hindus and Nehru did not want to happen. They wanted leadership of India to remain into the hands of Hindus. Now that the leadership of India is gone into the hands of Christian and that too a non-Indian, Italian Sonia Gandhi is a complete different matter and a shame for fanatic Hindus. Shortly India will have a Prime Minister in half Indian and half Italian, that is Rahul Gandhi the son of Italian Sonia Gandhi. Both the warring factions of Hindus and Muslims are now adoring Christian Sonia.
Though Jinnah died a long time back yet even in his death he is destroying fanatic Hindu dominance in India thru remote control from his grave. BJP is a political party of Hindu fanatics; they are craving to turn India as the monopoly of Hindus. Advani the mighty leader of BJP went to Pakistan and eulogized Jinnah. His opponents in BJP castigated Advani leading to a severe blow to the party prospects which suffered a severe blow in the last general election. It was Jinnah’s ghost that haunted and damaged BJP. Jinnah Zindabad because even in his death he is punishing fanatic Hindus in India under BJP.
In the recent controversy of the book by Jaswant Singh, the Hindus in India under BJP again received a jolt leading to the further disunity in BJP camp. Jaswant Singh was thrown out of the BJP party for praising Jinnah and belittling the roles of Nehru and Patel. As things are moving now, day by day, BJP is going down in its ratings since Indians even Hindus are discarding this party. According to political pundits, BJP will disintegrate into pieces, thanks to Jinnah whose soul is still haunting Indian Hindu fanatics. I admire Mohammad Ali Jinnah for giving sleepless nights to Hindus under BJP. Jinnah Zindabad because even in his death he is powerful to inflict heavy damages to Indian Hindu fanatics.
Jinnah was purely a secular Muslim whose knowledge of Islam according to information was very minimal. He was reluctant to observe the rituals of Islam even during the Ramadan time. Having Hindu ancestry, he was a good Whiskey drinker and even pork eater. His personal habits never distracted him from his feelings towards his religion. It was a misfortune that he died so early when Pakistan the nation he brought into existence needed him very much. With his death, much of secularism has died in Pakistan leading to mushrooming of religious fanatic groups who are terrorizing Pakistan and neighbouring countries and in the bargain discriminating against minorities and harassing peace loving community of Christians in Pakistan.
To develop Pakistan the early Pakistanis have done yeomen services for their motherland, their sacrifices in building Pakistan and bringing it to its current level was not a joke, it is a living miracle. In size and in wealth and in assets at the time of partition of Pakistan was small compared to India but inspite of all the deficiencies the patriotic Pakistanis especially the early Pakistanis worked very hard and selflessly to develop their country. Today Pakistan is not only an industrial power but more than that it is a mighty Nuclear Power sending shivers into the spine of its hostile neighbours. Educational standard is very high now though at the time of partition Pakistan could hardly boast of one reputed University. The way post World War II Germans struggled to develop Germany by undergoing lot of sacrifices and bringing Germany to its present high level in the same way post partition Pakistanis worked hard and sacrificed a lot to develop and to industrialise Pakistan.
The early Pakistanis used to bring stationery from their homes to work in the Government departments. Many times they used to sit under the trees and do their official work in the absence of proper departmental places. To stick official documents many times they used to use thorns of the trees and plants instead of clips and pins which were not readily available. In many of the schools students had no benches to sit yet they sacrificed and did their education turning them into scholars. This was the history of early Pakistan and with such a weak history for Pakistan now to attain such a mighty height is really a miracle created by all the Pakistanis whose patriotism is second to none. They have a killing instinct to fight for their country.
The birth of Pakistan is like a miracle and its survival and development is the result of the sacrifices of their elders backed by the strong sense of patriotism of every Pakistani to his country. This sense was inculcated in every Pakistani by its founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah whom I say “Jinnah Zindabad”. Would anybody throw me out of India for saying so? Is it not a fact that Jinnah’s contribution to Pakistan is laudable? Even in Kuwait, Pakistanis are more united and homogeneous while we Indians are disunited and sectarian. The Pakistani leaders such as In-charges, Managers and CEO’s are supporting their compatriots while Indians are destroying their own Indians working under them. My recent article in three parts on “DISGRACEFUL INDIAN MANAGERS” will give the testimony to what I said.
While concluding, I once again say Jinnah Zindabad.

History in the making. Tiatro "KUWAIT SODDUN VETANA"
SCRIPT WRITER AND HISTORY MAKER ROSARY FERNS.

It is to be staged by the Mangalorean Konkani followers. The original script and original drama was staged in Goan Roman script Konkani on 16th January this year at Hawally A/C Hall with a packed Hall audience. It is now translated into Mangalorean Konkani and it is going to be staged under the direction of Lancy Rodrigues. This will be the first time in the history of Konkani a Goan Tiatro translated into Mangalorean Konkani and staged on Konkani Stage.
Rosary Ferns hailing from Colva, Salcette, Goa and being a long timer in Kuwait, wrote and directed 21 full fledged Konkani Tiatros, 12 of which were staged in Kuwait itself.

Additionally, he has produced 2 VCD – (1) Kanvllo Roddlo Lozen and (2) Mogan Tujea Lasota.
Rosary Ferns has also scripted and directed a mighty Konkani show in Kuwait known as “SONGIT SANZ” under Kuwait Konknni Kendr. Such a show was never held anywhere before. Its second part in continuation with the first part will be held very shortly in Kuwait, also under KKK.
In August 2005, for his enormous contribution in the promotion of “Konkani Songit Kala”, Rosary Ferns was honoured by the well known Mangalorean Association “Konkani Kulvar Kuwait”. Rosary Ferns has always strived thru Konkani Stage and cultural programmes to bring about fusion of all the Konkani people in Kuwait in general and Mangalorean and Goans in particular.
A few years back Bollywood celebrity Mahendra Kapoor when he came to Kuwait with his troupe to stage his show at Indian Embassy Auditorium, after meeting Rosary Ferns and knowing his credentials well, requested Rosary to translate one of his Konkani Tiatros into Hindi so that Mahendra Kapoor will stage it all around starting from Bombay.
The drama “KUWAIT SODDUN VETANA” in Mangalorean Konkani will be watched by a huge crowd as per the forecast and rightly it is a must watch for all the Konkani people residing in Kuwait, especially for those who missed it in January. The entire cast will be Mangalorean except one Goan BERNARDO FERNANDES who originally played an excellent role of a Kuwaiti and since there is no replacement found for him to play that role so excellently, the onus fell on Bernardo. It is also to be noted that two Mangalorean artistes will especially come to Kuwait from Mangalore and Doha Qatar, namely Mike Simon and Norbert Pereira respectively. The local Mangalorean artistes are melodious singer Gratian D’Souza, Cynthia Pinto, Valerian D’Souza, Jasson Lasrado, Joyline Gonsalves, Jovita Fernades, Anil Menezes, Renny Menezes, Anil Fernandes, Wilfred Lobo,Vally Sanctis, Ananda D’Souza, Joyston D’Souza, Joe D’Souza, Francis D’Souza, Lancy Rodrigues, Stephen Machado, Rudy D’Souza, Lucy Aranha, Sunny Menezes, Kiran Lobo, Agnel Saldanha, Ibrahim, Master Ansel Gonsalves, Master Aaron Gonsalves and Fr. Melwin D’Cunha.

ON A. VERONICA'S ARTICLE ON DR. OLIVINHO GOMES
Dear Anthony Veronica,
First and foremost I pray to God that the late Dr Olivinho Gomes' soul may rest in peace in Heaven.
Dr Olivinho Gomes brought life for Konkani especially for Romi Konkani. He was the pride of Romi Konkani followers and Promoters. I read some of his writings. He has done good work for our Konkani literary movement and also for the cause of Romi Konkani. I salute him on behalf of Konkani lovers, especially Romi Konkani.
Veronica, I highly appreciated your article especially your points on Romi Konkani. We should remember because of our Romi Konkani our seven Konkani brothers died as martyrs and because of this cause Gulf Goans raised bulk of money for these martyrs fund, Kuwait Goans contributed more under your skippership. Tiatrists are making some noise from the Stage but no effect. They must carry a Morcha to Goa Legislative Assembly to make the elected members know our wishes. Will Tomazinho Cardoso give a lead to this point or as a guilty man for doing nothing when he was in the Assembly, will remain away? Because of such Tomazinhos Romi Konkani is not getting due recognition and as long as such people are there in Romi Konkani movement, no benefit will come for Romi Konkani. In Goa the movement makers for Romi Konkani are weak.
We only sing and talk, but never make an effort to face the ministers and solve the problems. I still remember the incident, when Mr J.R.D. TATA was coming to goa first time to see the Taj at Sinquerim, Anthony Veronica you stood along with your colleague on the road, demonstrated against anti-local policy of Taj Hotel in recruiting staff and made a written appeal to Tata. Becuase of this move by you, Tata made his management change its policy in support of locals.
Tomazinho Cardoso was nowhere in this campaign during those days. Will Romi Konkani attain any success with Tomazinho Cardoso at the helm of affairs? Will Romi Konkani gain any success in Goa with the feeble move of Tiatrists? Many of them are bribe prone and if Nagrivadis offer them any Lolipop, I am sure they will support Nagri Konkani against Romi just as our prominent Padris have done. Padris are known to preach their "Sermao" only to the ignorant people and not to their "Unios"
God bless you and your pen Anthony Veronica.
