BJP MANIFESTO FOR ZILLA ELECTION IN CALANGUTE.

Out of the main three contenders for the forthcoming Zilla Parishad election in Calangute constituency, so far only one contender, young and energetic Shawn Michael of BJP has declared his Election Manifesto as indicated here below.

 

The other two main contenders so far have not disclosed in writing their Manifestoes and in the absence of their manifestoes voters are not aware of what they will do the next once they are elected, they have not disclosed in writing why voters should elect them.  One of these two contenders is backed by the Candolim Congress leader who is known to be the godfather general of “Ghanttis – Lamanis & Migrants” whose colony he has established in Candolim as vote bank for him.  Voters from Candolim villalge must keep a distance from such people because they are all out to finish Goa by supporting non-Goans. In this move  voters must reject this candidate who is backed by the anti-Goan Congress leader. Luizin Faleiro and other Congress leaders from Goa must get the message clear and loud.

Coming back to Shawn Martins, he is a young and well educated man from Kobravado, Calangute, a self employed social worker, a great lover of sports and promoter of soccer.  He is very active in different type of activities in his locality gaining name and fame for him. A man with charismatic smile on his face he is very much known figure in his locality.

His manifesto sounds well but what is required now from him is his mind on the communalism spread by the BJP.  How he can influence the top brass of BJP in Goa and in Delhi to put an end to BJP’s anti-minorities moves especially anti-Christian activities.  There is no peace for Christians in Goa since BJP came to power in the last election.  Will Shawn Martins show his courage and wisdom to raise this topic with his bosses in Goa and Delhi to assure Goan Christians peaceful sleep? Goan Christians are having sleepless nights because there is no strong trust now between BJP and Christians.  It looks BJP is all out to diminish Christian influence in Goa by introducing no-beef policy, Ghar Wapsi and other such policies.

"GHAR WAPSI", BJP AND ITS DADAGIRI.

BJP came to power like slaves and now they want to be the masters of Indians who have not given their mandate to BJP to act like masters. Introducing legislations and moves which were not in their election manifesto is an act of Hitlerism and not of democratically elected government. The current move of BJP to bring back the converted people to Hinduism is an act of “Dadagiri”.  People in India have not voted BJP to power to see this type of Dadagiri.

I am a Christian and proud to be so.  My ancestors most probably were Hindus but I feel those who converted my ancestors to Christianity deserve appreciation.  Most of the Hindus converted to Christianity were of lower strata of the Hindu society that treated them very shabbily.  Caste wise their status was low because of this status they were denied many privileges in Hinduism.  They were as Hindus not accepted as full fledged human beings in Hinduism but once in Christian fold they were allotted all the previlleges of egalitarian Christianity though in certain Christian pockets some of them on silly grounds against Christian doctrine were denied full Christian rights.  

Because of the discriminatory Hindu system,  Ambedkar revolted against caste oriented Hinduism and along with lakhs of his followers jumped into egalitarian Buddhism.  Because of caste based discriminatory system in Hinduism a huge number of Nadar Christians  got converted to Christianity from caste oriented Hinduism that treated them like slaves. Because of the equality and brotherhood principle, Christians are more homogenous entity while Hindus are more devided among them.  Because of this equality in Christianity the converted Christians are treated as true human beings mainly in their religious places and in society as well.  The tag of lowliness because of their low caste status is eradicated from their collar once the low caste Hindus are converted. In view of this, I don’t think any converted Christian especially the low caste will ever think to return spontaneously to his originality unless he is tricked with false promises or coerced into submission.

Those who are organizing “Ghar Wapsi” must tell what caste status they will allot to the returnees to originality or re-convertees.  Ghar Wapsi system indicates the fear in fanatic Hindus, they are afraid that their brand of Hinduism is dwindling in India.  Even Mahatma Gandhi indicated this fear in him when he said “If Christianity or Islam uprooted from Inndia, it will still flourish elsewhere but if Hinduism is uprooted from India, it will disappear from this planet”.  But to protect it Gandhiji never prescribed the Ghar Wapsi solution as fanatic BJP men are prescribing. If centuries back my ancestors were converted to Christianity I am not to be blamed for this conversion but I am very comfortable in Christianity.  And if I am allowed to say something more, Christianity is the only solution to end the religious discrimination existing in some religions.

Antonio meu amigo,

 

Its a great article on goa - Kuwait solidarity meet held in Panjim on 26.02.15 to mark the liberation day of Kuwait. The facts cannot be denied,  I was surprised to know that you alone are spending your own money to hold these meetings.  What about others who are living retired life in Goa and those who are still making money in Kuwait?  Are they not grateful to Kuwaiti?  It looks you are the lone voice of Kuwait Goans.

 

keep up the good work.

A. VERONICA COMMENTS: Thank you Jerry for your good words.  If it was not for me, there would never be Solidarity with Kuwait movement that fetched Kuwait Goans lot of dividends and yet they are shamelessly "BEIMAN".  It is Kuwait that made them something in life.  They talk big and act big but otherwise they are born small and would remain small only if it was not for their employment in Kuwait. In my own village majority of Kuwait Goans ex and current are like Ladrus and Pedrus having no proper home discipline to indicate their gratitude to the country from where they earned so much.  I feel ashamed of their "Ghaum-bhaupon".  

 

Some of the ex and current Kuwait Goans expect me to approach them for help. I am not a beggar to do that and they are not sucking breasts of their mothers to be ignorant to know what it costs to organize such events. One cannot expect something worthwhile from people coming from hoi-polloi class which is of majority of Kuwait Goans.

GOA-KUWAIT SOLIDARITY MEET & KUWAIT GOANS.

A. Veronica addressing the Meet

 

Last month on 26^th, we under Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Center celebrated the liberation day of Kuwait by holding a public meeting in Panjim at the Chamber of Commerce Hall.  The meet was attended by only 70 persons instead of 700 or 7000 and from these 70 persons, half the number from non-Kuwait returnees circle.  Since I returned from Kuwait last year, I am organizing this function to show our gratitude to Kuwait from where we earned our livelihood and established ourselves comfortably financially.

 

Fr. Gabriel Dias seen speaking

 

Some people especially ex Kuwaitkars in Goa are questioning my prerogative to hold these Meetings as if I am committing a sin by doing so.  As a matter of fact to organize these Meets I am alone spending thousands of Rupees from my own pocket, I am not asking any financial help from anyone nor from any of the current Kuwitcars or Kuwait returnees. 

 

 

Manuel Fernandes seen speaking

 

With the intention of sharing even a small portion of expenditure, none even asking me whether any help is needed though they are boasting of their financial empire which they built only because of their employment in Kuwait otherwise many of them would live like paupers. 

 

Prof. Sergio Carvalho 

 

There are thousands of Goans in Kuwait and they are the direct beneficiaries of the goodwill of Kuwaitis in Kuwait of our Meetings in Goa on 26^th February.  Even they are not contributing anything but some of them are talking against holding these meetings. 

 

Peggy Pereira proposing Vote of Thanks

 

Without Kuwait they would be nothing in life. No Indian community is organizing such Meets in India except Goan community for this reason there is more goodwill generated for Goans in Kuwait. Neither any nationality anywhere in the World.

 

Elvino Rodrigues seen speaking

 

What would be the future of overwhelming majority of Kuwait Goans, current and returnees, if it was not for their employment in Kuwait?  They had no  bright future for this reason they should be grateful to Kuwait.  What Goa and India could not provide them, the country Kuwait provided them.

That does not mean in Kuwait Heavenly Mannas are falling for us, that does not mean in Kuwait we are getting easy money, no, we are working very hard with topmost sacrifices with lot of pains and sufferings, with lot of humiliations and insults, yet we are surviving and doing well.  For this reason I am grateful to Kuwait though I too suffered a lot in Kuwait like many and that does not deter me from accepting the truth that if today what I am, it is only because of Kuwait.

 

Observing silence

 

But do our people realize this truth?  Majority of them ”NO”. They are “Beiman” of first grade because they are coming from third rate character without disciplined family background and lacking in moral character. It is a pity to see that the character of these Kuwait Goans present and ex is so bankrupt. There are no greater selfish people in the world as ex and current Kuwait Goans, of course with the exception a few.

 

                                            A section of the crowd attending the Meet.

Even when we organized the public rallies in Panjim following the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, very few people attended this rally because the remaining Kuwait returnees thought it was useless to participate in that rally because Kuwait was already annexed to Iraq. But when we organised the second rally immediately following the liberation of Kuwait overwhelming majority of Kuwait returnees took part in this rally because of selfish motto that is, to return to Kuwait.
