Houston, Texas July 5 - 7, 2002
Houston, Texas July 5 - 7, 2002 ear Friends: Ware pleased to welcome you to Houston — the city of warmth, friendship and hospitality; and to the 6th biannual Goan Convention, 2002. We are appreciative of the Goan Organization of America for making this exquisite and joyous tradition possible, and we thank the pioneers who initiated it. The Goan Convention has been providing us with an excellent and efficacious forum to make our biannual pilgrimage to that quintessential notion of a place called Goa, where we can fulfill our angst and yearnings (the Portuguese have a better word for it, they call the feeling asaudades"- the presence of the absence) for which we have been longingly awaiting for the past two endless years, This is your convention and each of you is special and important to us. The 2002 convention, like our previous ones, has only been possible because of your goodwill and unstinted moral and pecuniary support — the very foundation of our success, The organizing committee has put together an impressive entertainment program and will serve the delectable and scrumptious Goan cuisine to satisfy your ever-discerning tastes. The members of the organizing committee are looking forward to serving you and to making your stay happy and comfortable. To help acquaint you with Houston, we have put together a package of information that we hope you will find helpful. Please feel free to contact any committee member if you need any assistance. All of us hope that you will feel at home and that you find much to enjoy and appreciate in Houston, As the magic of this convention descends upon us, we hope you will be able to commune and connect, reminisce fondly about Goa and things Goan, renew old friendships and make new ones, and reconnect and rejuvenate. This convention gives us a chance to recharge ourselves and reset our inner Goan compass until the next convention in 2004. Borem Goem!!

However, in the meantime, there were unscheduled Assembly Elections in the month of May and the full fledge Budget Session of the Assembly is likely to commence from 8th July, 2002. But for the same it would have been a pleasure to be in company with GOANS. I regret my inability to attend the said function. I take this opportunity to wish the function a grand success. With regards, Yours sincerely, ( %lumbar Prrikar SECRETARIAT. PANAJt.

Balasubramanyam, Abhijit, Udit Narayan, Bappi Lahari and Chitra. He regularly performs in the States, Indonesia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Australia. He is a regular playback singer in Telagu and Malyalam films. His voice brings back memories of golden years of Rafi. He also can sing in the voice of other artists such as Abhitabh Bachhan, Saigal, C.H.Atma and others. He has five CDs and eight tapes to his credit. kAndliga co a If one were to select a singer with a perfect tune, intonation and the all-important ability to evoke and transmit intense and diverse feelings, it would certainly be Sandhya Rao. Whether it is light classical or light music, it is again Sandhya Rao who sings them all equal elan. She has the benefit of extensive training in both Hindustani music and under such luminaries as singer-composer Mohinderjit Singh, and Pt. Feroz Dastur. Sandhya has made quick strides in gazals and bhajans under the tutelage of Mohinderjit Singh. Naushad Ali, Hridaynath Mangeshkar and Raj Kapoor adjudged her the best female playback singer in 1978 at the third Film Sangeet Sammelan of Sur-Singar Samsad from all over the country. In 1991 the Prime Minister and Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee accorded National Status for her song Sadbhavana recommended by Naushad Ali. It was composed by her guru Shri Mohinderjit Singh. She is an AIR artist and had appeared on Doordarshan programmes several times. Sandhya was honored by Swarabhilasha, a pioneer music center at Kanpur, for her rendering of the title song of CBS's "Khumaar" album of gazals so liltingly in 1986. She had her cassette of ten utterly devotional Marathi abhangs, composed by the 13 famed Marathi film music director Anil Mobile, marketed by Oriental Records and entitled "Pandharicha Mahinia" Sandhya has a voice whose appeal is instant and straight to the heart, a voice that is at once mellifluous and expressive, and she renders even light music with such rich, open, ringing voice, which is so arresting. Added to that over the years, her voice has had greater depth and range. In 1997- 98 she co-produced along with United Television and sang the Meerabai bhajans in the historical serial Meerabai, which was telecast on Doordarshan. She has also sung for many other serials and telefilms. She has also sung in various cassettes along with Suresh Wadkar and Kavita Krishnamurthy. Sandhya has recorded cassettes in pure classical music, gazals and bhajans in Marathi and Hindi for music companies like Music India, CBS and Tips. Ritika badakm Ritika Badakere is 15 yrs old and a promising singer. She inherited this art from her mother Sandhya Rao (Badakere). She started singing at the age of 4. She is being trained by Shri Mohinderjit Singh. She recorded her first song at the age of 7 for the TV serial "Meerabai", and was acclaimed as the youngest playback singer. She has also performed on Star TV for the show "kya masti kya dhoom". She has always bagged awards in interschool music competitions conducted by Suresh Wadkar's music academy. She has recently recorded a Sal bhajan, which was included in the cassette in which singers like Suresh Wadkar and Kavita Krishnamurthy have sung such hhajans. Along with her talent, she has also been doing well in her academics for which she has won the "Best student of the year" award. 14 Rene Barreto the grand occasion of the Goan Convention to be held in Houston, we join all those who will attend in spirit and send our best wishes for a successful event. As you celebrate Goan culture, I would like to inform you of our third annual celebration of GOADAY which will be held this year during the weekend of August 17, 18, 2002. On GOADAY we remember 1992, when the two Houses of the Indian Parliament unanimously voted and approved an amendment to include our mother tongue Konkani in the eighth schedule of the Constitution of India, thus according it national status. It is also a day where Goans worldwide join in SOLIDARITY to celebrate being a GOAN! This year on GOADAY thousands of Goans will remind themselves that we need to work to preserve our Goan culture, music, history, language, cuisine, and art for our children and the non-Goan community. Just as we have learnt and improved from non-Goans, they too can learn from us Whether they are European, American, Japanese, African etc. We have a lot to offer the world and should not be ashamed or shy away from our own resplendent culture. We are as equal and adept as any other people, and we should be proud to demonstrate that pride in our actions. Life has been very good for some of us, and we should count our blessings and thank God for it. Let us try and make our GOAN World a better place for the underprivileged and not as fortunate to experience our style of living or material happiness. We can accomplish this by genuinely sharing our bounty & blessings. Let GOADAY be a beacon of light, which will be our motivation or driving force throughout the year and for the rest of our lives. Let us make this our motto, "Proud To Be a Goan." and live up to that motto. GOADAY this year is being celebrated in a BIGGER way than ever before. Goans in London have followed the example of Goans in Portugal and Pakistan and formed an Alliance of Goan associations. They are planning one of the biggest Goan events the 17 capital has ever seen. On this occasion, many community-related projects will be launched and more emphasis will be put into community voluntary services all over the GOAN WORLD. Please email me at rbarreto@btinternet.com for more information on GOADAY and how you can celebrate this occasion in your community. Also, please visit www.goasudharop.org which will carry more information on this important celebration. TOGETHER we can make a DIFFERENCE! Long live GOA!

Sardesai Earlier this year, I had the opportunity of spending six weeks in India, at which time I did a little sight-seeing, visited with relatives, and spent time observing in hospitals. I suspect my birth and upbringing in Canada, tempered with the influence of my parents' Indian heritage gives me a distinctive perspective. This was my sixth visit to India. Some General Observations Ye alth-care in India, as best as I can discern from my month's stay in Mumbai and two-weeks in Goa has some interesting differences from our system here in Canada. The challenges of administering health care in India are in many ways different from those we face here. To put things in perspective, a city like Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) has half the population of Canada in an area less than 500 square kilometres1 ' 2. One of the first things you notice in a country like India is its dichotomy; where at times the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich can be separated by only a fence line, or at times just a hedge, with only the air travelling between them. As a result, the health care needs of the inhabitants can be very divergent, as some are in need of the very basics of sanitation, while others contemplate elective and experimental therapies, delivered through the use of stateof-the-art equipment. In some respects, patients themselves have a greater degree of responsibility with respect to their health care. For example a patient will be responsible for his or her own medical chart, complete with test results, physician notes, and such. A physician would order diagnostic tests, and it would be the patient's responsibility to schedule them, collect the results and return to the ordering physician. In this way, the patients generally seems to have more ownership and interest in the outcome of the physician-patient interaction. The fiscal situation may also have been a factor, since most patients pay for out-of-pocket for many of the services. 27 The degree to which families of patients are involved in management and care of medical conditions was also remarkable. It was rare to see patients come in for appointments by themselves, and not uncommon to find a relative or two residing in hospital during a patient's stay and providing day-to-day care, e.g. dressing changes, that might otherwise have heen carried out by nurses. In larger private hospitals, it is therefore not uncommon to find that provision is made for a patient's attendant to stay in the hospital near the patient, at all times, I had a general sense that this family involvement had a positive effect on patient compliance and adherence, although I have only anecdotal evidence for this. Another major difference was in the attitude of physicians. Despite the prevalence of "doctor-shopping" in this privatized system, there was a paradoxical level of brashness in some of the consultants I ohserved. It was a stark contrast to the general politeness and friendliness that prevails in our Canadian system. Yet the patients did not seem to mind; indeed that attitude was almost expected. The general assumption seemed to be that if a consultant was less than polite, it was because he or she was so good that they could afford to be, and that the patient should feel fortunate to be privy to their services. To some extent this is true: many of these consultants are good, if only because of the sheer competition in the profession in the country, and because one has to be quite tough to survive. However, medicine in other countries including Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, is also challenging (albeit in different ways) and yet I feel a different attitude is more commonly perceived. A Private Hospital in Mumbai My two weeks in the P.11 Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre gave me some interesting insights into private health care in India. The Hinduja is a state-of-the-art facility situated on a major thoroughfare in the city of Mumbai. It stands an impressive sixteen storeys tall, each with four wings, and has a capacity of 330 beds as well as diagnostic facilities and supporting ancillary services 3, The entire hospital was centrally air conditioned (a virtual necessity with Mumbai weather), and generally ran efficiently, hence making for a pleasant working environment. Depending on a patient's financial situation, one of four types of accommodation would be available, The "Deluxe Suite" consisted of two rooms, (one each for the patient and patient's attendant) with telephone, radio and cable television facilities, as well as an ensuite bath and pantry with a refrigerator. "Special Rooms" were single rooms with attached bath, sofa-cum-bed, a telephone, radio, and cable television facilities. A "Median A" room would have two patients sharing a room with a common telephone and attached bath and a couch for each patient's relative. 28 A "Median B" room had two patients sharing a cubicle, couch for patient's relative, with a common bathroom in the wing. Finally, the "Median Ward" had six to eight patients in a wing, with a chair for each patient's relative and common bathroom in the wing. Costs varied from nominal to several thousand rupees per night (equivalent of several hundred dollars). Much like in North America, in a facility of this breadth and size, certain things became important. Firstly, with so many people in such a large facility, communication is the key. I was impressed with the fluency with which most staff could converse in several languages, the most common in Mumbai being English, Hindi, and Marathi. Appropriate division of labour was the second major element. Although this was not a teaching hospital, many consultants had junior house-staff doing simple procedures, writing medical notes and prescriptions in what proves to be good experience for them, and a time-saver for the consultant. The adaptability of the staff (especially the nurses) was also admirable. In the Intensive Care Unit (where I was based) with shift changes, the staff needed to get used to the different styles of the physicians in charge. The technical systems were also put to good use in such a facility. For example, the out-patient-clinic buzzer/light system was very effective for an environment in which several clinics were running concurrently. I was altogether pleasantly surprised and impressed with the efficiency with which such a facility, which serves several thousands of patients of various segments of society and in such an environment, could operate. A Public Hospital in Mumbai My two weeks at the S.K. Bandra Bhabha Hospital in Mumbai gave me a very different picture of Indian health care. Here it is clear what money can buy: It provides a patient with privacy, more time, extra attention, extra courtesy, and additional sterility. However, the essentials are much the same. This was especially the case in surgery. The procedures themselves were almost identical to those I bad seen in Canada and elsewhere, and were performed competently, the staff bringing with them a mammoth amount of experience. Technical equipment is available, although not in quantities the private hospitals have, and potentially not of the same quality. Sterile procedure was remarkably well preserved, despite the scarcity of disposable equipment and relative abundance of autoclaved materials. Even latex gloves were cleaned, sterilized, and re-used. In the out-patient department (OPD), the differences between public and private were even more pronounced. Unlike our typical one-room-per-patient setting here, and in the private hospitals in Mumbai, the public hospital otolaryngology (ENT) OPD consisted of a large (approximately five metres by five metres) room with two 29 large equipment tables at right angles, and an ENT house staff on either side (total of four), each with a stool in front of them. The patients (and their families — often several members) would line up behind the stools and each in turn sit down to be questioned and examined in plain view of all their family, all the other patients presently being examined, and all the people waiting in line. Each patient would be seen for somewhere between 30 seconds and three minutes, and in this way, the four-physician staff was able to see over 100 patients in a two to three-hour block of time. It was remarkable. At the end of the clinic, a consultant would re-examine the more equivocal cases, and do surgical assessments. And thus would end a typical clinic. The single greatest shortage appeared to be the human resource -- possibly due to financial reasons, in terms of lack of salary funding. The house staff, with whom I spent most of my time, (the consultants were fewer) were always on the go. I had the general impression that the hospital was managing well, given its resource limitations. Latency was determined by the slowest step in the management process, which might have been the two-month wait for a diagnostic test (e.g. audiogram) which was performed off-site. However, it was clear to me that additional resources could certainly be of great benefit to a facility like this one. A Hospital in Goa — Yet Another Different Impression I will begin with a quick description of Goa. It is a small state on the west coast of India, just south of Maharashtra (Mumbai's state) in which my parents were born and raised. It is a beautiful place with glorious white, sandy beaches and palm trees, and an abundance of coconuts, mangoes, and cashews. Its small size by Indian standards (population of 1.2 million) and its unique Portuguese heritage lend it a warm, pleasant small-town feeling4. This is the context in which I found the hospital in which I observed. The Manipal Goa Cancer and General Hospital is a growing 150 bed hospital that is also affiliated with a local medical school'. Although it is a private hospital with state-of-the-art equipment and almost every medical and surgical service (cardiac surgery is generally referred elsewhere) the most striking difference I noted between this and the hospitals in Mumbai was on account of its size and slightly less urban nature. Much as I found in some smaller hospitals in Canada (in Collingwood, Ontario and Burlington, Ontario), smaller can in fact be better. From a health professional's stand point, one can get to know one's colleagues and their styles, and this makes for improved communication, role definition, and hence efficient operation. In a smaller institution, it is easier to effect changes, (in policy for example), since there are fewer people to reach, and altogether less red tape. In a 30 smaller city it is more important, however, to have good reputation — preferably to be considered the best -- since word travels fast. And yet, this small-world environment helps in building trust in the doctor-patient relationship, and I suspect is especially helpful in terms of patient adherence. Communication skills are key, in this environment as much as in any other, and additional understanding and empathising skills are necessary, as many patients also happen to be friends. Many of the first generation North American Goans who came to this continent during the 1960s and 1970s, have children who were born and brought up in the North American environment. As parents, it has been our earnest desire that our children should strive to accept the best this society has to offer, while at the same time retain our Goan tradition and Indian values. However, our concerns and worries are often focused on the worst case scenario whereby it might be just the opposite. All of us have been trying our best to assist in accomplishing our objectives by taking our children to Goa as often as possible, and give them full exposure to the Indian society. My experience, so far, has been that we have not always given our children the benefit of the doubt, or full credit they deserve, and recognize their ability to discern the good from the bad, and accept the best the two societies and cultures have to offer. When our daughter Maya visited Goa and Bombay two years ago, this time by herself; we asked her to file reports and keep us informed of her experiences. The following report is a reflection of her perspective on Heath care in India. It was published in the Queen's University Health sciences journal in 2001. Asha and Guirish Sardesai Some Final Comments on the Health-Care Recipients: The People The true charm of India, in my estimation, is in its colour and in its humanity. When you look at a regular city street in India (not just Mumbai), regardless of the time of the day, you see people. In fact, you're very likely to see other living creatures of various shapes, sizes, and dimensions as well. Whereas, at home, even in a city the size of Calgary, the streets are virtually dead certain times of the day. I am not counting the car or two that might whiz by; it is the ye I'm referring to. With people come smiles, (and frowns) - but fundamentally, emotion. This is something that technology and posters and flash can approximate, but not replace. About the Author ... Dr. Maya Sardesai, M.D., was born in Burlington, Ontario, and is a first generation Canadian. Her parents came to Canada from Goa, India. After graduating from McMaster University in Chemical Engineering, with distinction, Maya completed her medical studies at the Queen's University Medical College in Kingston, Ontario, and is currently pursuing the 5year ENT Residency program at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. 31 Sudha Lawande Ka was liberated from the Portuguese colonial rule on 19th December 1961, and it became an integral part of the Sovereign Democratic India. The Portuguese had ruled over Goa for about 450 years. As oppressive colonial masters they paid very scant attention to the will and welfare of Goans. The educational scenario of Goa prior to Liberation was dismal and disappointing. There were few primary schools imparting education in the Portuguese language. In Panaji, the capital of Goa, there was a Liceum, the equivalent of a higher secondary school. A medical college and a pharmacy college were the only two institutions of higher learning. Besides these Government institutions, there were many privately managed primary schools imparting education in Marathi. There were few English medium secondary schools managed by individuals and societies. After passing the matriculation examination Goan students went to places outside Goa, viz. Belgaum, Mumbai, Dharwar, Pune, etc., to pursue their college education, as there were no institutions imparting higher education in Goa. Then dawned 19th December 1961, a day which Goans were eagerly awaiting. The shackles of slavery and serfdom were broken and Goa was ready to join the mainstream of India — with the dawn of independence, democracy took the place of the fascist regime. Education being the bedrock of democracy, the popularly elected government which came into existence swung into action and gave top priority to education. Primary, secondary and higher secondary schools were opened in every nook and corner of Goa. In course of time a Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education was established. It will not be an exaggeration to state that education has reached the doors of homes of all students. As education in Goa started making rapid strides, many other educational institutions were started, viz. one primary teacher's training college, two secondary teacher's training colleges, a State Institute of Education, a District Institute of Education and 34 Training, and a District Centre of English in order to improve the professional competence of teachers. Educational authorities in Goa have realized that there is no room for complacency. Continuous monitoring is a must. The results of this monitoring can be seen in innovative inputs of these institutions. Goa University, which is situated at the picturesque plateau of Talegaon is the apex educational body and controls undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral education. The ancient Indian dictum " Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya" i.e. "Lead me from darkness to light" is enshrined in the university. Goa University is the crowning glory of Goa's educational achievement. There are a number of Arts, Science, Commerce colleges in Goa. The Goa Medical College which is situated at Bambolim, and the hospitals attached to it have become famous for their facilities, not only in Goa, but also in the neighbouring states. There is now a well-equipped dental college in Goa. Besides, there is a college of Home Science and a college of Nursing Education. Two colleges of Law prepare students to become lawyers and other law-related professionals. Goa has two full-fledged Engineering colleges. Technical education and computer education is given paramount importance. `Distance-Education' is becoming popular and many students who otherwise cannot join regular educational institutions can avail themselves of the educational facilities provided by Distance Education Centre. Mention must be made of Indira Gandhi National Open University, which provides Distance Education. Since tourism is a key industry in this Goa, the state is dotted with many hotels, and they require personnel trained in catering. The Goa College of Catering at Porvorim fulfills their need. As regards the medium of instruction, primary education is imparted in Konkani, which is the mother tongue of Goans, and also in Marathi, English and a few other Indian languages. However, the medium of instruction from fifth standard onwards in English. On account of Goa government's giving emphasis to education, this state has become one of the most literate states of India. Sound education has changed the mindset of Goans. Social engineering has taken place. One also observes the process of vertical social mobility taking place in Goa. A society that prior to Liberation had been stagnant and decadent has blossomed into an enlightened entity. 35 Many Goans, after having received their education in Goa, have gone to foreign countries, viz U.K, U.S.A. etc. They have pursed their studies there and have excelled. The Goan diaspora by their pursuit of excellence and commitment to the professions they have chosen have earned kudos, and they have done their country proud. About the Author ....

Dumo "All the ills of democracy can be cured by more democracy. "We must be the change, we want to see in the world." — Mahatma Gandhi 41 -4.1 11PP4'cl kci 'I q 411 'I cherish my motherland more than the heaven, thus proclaim our scriptures' — Upanishadas ere is nothing in the material world that can be a substitute for one's mother and motherland. 4 trrd iffputon, twit! 3117 novicooi `Take me to my motherland, Oh sea! My soul is in agony' - yelled Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Sawarkar through the verses of his poem composed while in exile in U.K. while giving vent to his agony caused by the sheer distance and separation from the motherland. In the present times, there has been a demand for dual citizenship from people of India origin settled in foreign countries. Is this not the earnest expression of the same intense feelings of deeper attachment to the motherland besides other reasons also? It is this instinctive attachment to the motherland that makes the emigrant to keep himself interested in the social, cultural, economic and political developments taking place and shaping the destiny of the country of his origin. This feeling, the instinct rather, is common to all people of all races, creeds and persuasions all over the world It is the most noble and most 38 human of all the feelings that characterizes the humankind It is therefore but natural for Goans, who have migrated to different countries all over the world to keep themselves abreast of the developments in social, cultural, political spheres of Goa and offer intellectual and material inputs for the development of the country of their origin. The transition from Portuguese rule to self rule following the liberation of Goa in 1961 brought, in its wake, several attendant problems. Goans began experimenting with the democratic system of governance for the first time ever. Different ideas, right from the unconditional merger of Goa in the Maharashtra State to making Goa full fledged state in the Indian Union went through the crucible of an opinion poll and Goa finally emerged as a distinct political entity and was granted statehood on May 30, 1987 which was the fulfillment of long cherished aspiration of Goans. Goans elected their own governments in successive elections after the opinion poll and began experimenting with the democratic system of governance. Soon they realised that anti-social, anti-people forces were in firm control of the government by sabotaging and eroding the foundation of the system while people at large were increasingly growing restless, impatient, disgusted and alienated with the political parties which ruled Goa and are ruling still. The general feeling is that these political parties are nothing but gangs of unscrupulous, self seeker illiterates and semiliterate and at times anti-social elements possessing high academic qualifications who are intent to use people for their power games and have no desire to give good governance to Goa nor address people's concerns. After all, good governance is so essential for social, educational, economic development of the new state, The very basis of our democracy is under threat in Goa. More than 500 bogus voters in Taleigao constituency continue to be on the voters' list as a complaint filed with documentary evidence by 'People's Movement for Civic Action' (PMCA), an NGO based in Panaji - Goa, to investigate the fraud has been blocked on technical grounds. While the complainant the general secretary of the non-governmental organisation, Peolpe's Movement for Civic Action', Panaji-Goa, (PMCA) who had filed the complaint, has demanded an enquiry to identify not only the bogus voters but also the officials involved in the fraud, Some of the voters had not even mentioned their surnames, nor had they given any details about their parents or relatives or even their house numbers and yet the registration officers, it appears, had enrolled them without verification. 39 The electoral records indicated that a few voters were staying in houses which were non-existent. While in some cases the houses existed, but having a single occupant. And yet additional names ranging from a dozen to three (36) were added as family members. For instance in a house with only on occupant by name Santosh Shirodkar you would find his family members with names such as Rajappa, Gundappa, Basarappa, Mariamma etc, which is so strange indeed! The complainant who had perused the electoral list consisting of 25,560 voters filed objections to the inclusions of only 259 due to lack of time though he found over SOO voters of dubious credentials. Moreover, filling form 7 under rule 13(2) of Registration of Electors Rules, 1960 to object to the inclusion of each voter is a cumbersome process, However, a few days later, the officer concerned disposed off the objections filed by the PMCA by an undated common order on the ground that any objection to a voter's inclusion can be raised by a person whose name is included in the same roll under rule 13(2)(b) of Registration of Electoral rules, 1960. The PMCA, the NGO which raised objections is not a person whose name is included in the roll, the officer ruled, while rejecting the objections under rule 17. The situation is no different in other electoral constituencies and the entire process is aimed at creation of favourable vote banks by sabotaging the system from within. I have gi-ven the account of this case in some detail to show how the very foundation on which the entire edifice of our democracy stands has been eroded due to our indifference to the evil deeds of the manipulators of election process, the result being that we are governed today by illiterate or semiliterate despots who treat the state as their fiefdom and citizens as their slaves! Tyrants have sprouted at all levels and carry on the business of corruption merrily. But we have not left things at that. Backed by legal support and tenacity to pursue the case, the PMCA has taken up this task to take the case to its logical end. The inefficiency plaguing the public administration, the all pervading corruption, lack of accountability are all eating into the vitals of the fabric of our nation. Corruption in the affairs of the government and all walks of public life has become a low risk-high profit business in our country today. In such a system, mediocrity and dishonesty are rewarded and honesty and excellence are condemned. As a result, brilliant professionals and talented people are leaving the country en masse. Goa is 40 thus very much in the mainstream of national life, "In my reckoning, five key players exist in the landscape. They are 'Neta' (politician), ‘13abu' (bureaucrat), gala' (businessman), 'Polo.' (NGO) and 'Dada' (criminal). If we succeed in breaking the politician - bureaucrat - businessman nexus, we have won the battle", says N.Vithal, Commissioner Central Vigilance Commission, New Delhi. In such a situation, the ordinary low-abiding citizens find themselves completely helpless and insecure. Lack of employment opportunities and lack of reward for hard labour or intellectual pursuit and lack of future for their children are some of the major problems tormenting the mind of the people while political parties are perpetually engaged in their power games, duping the masses and postponing the solutions of problems until they reach crisis level. In this gloomy scenario what can a few well-educated, talented and creative people do to influence the course of events and change the situation for hotter? This was the main question which constantly tormented our mind. First, we thought of forming a pressure group of citizens giving it the shape of a popular organization, a non-government organization (NGO). Soon we found through our friends who had some experience in such activities that this idea will not serve our purpose entirely, Some of us had earlier formed an organisation called Federation of Voters' Councils, Goa. Through this NGO we are still implementing a programme of education of voters. In our elections, more than issues of public interest, emotional appeals and personality factors come into play. There is a rapid growth of political careerism, rise of political families, public acknowledgment of hereditary succession to leadership and all collide to push issues behind personalities, Moreover, no election expresses the will of the electorate, or even the majority of the electorate, voter turnout being unimpressive an even falling below 50 percent of the voters in some places. It looks as though it is the non-voters who decide the fate of the candidates making ridiculous the claim of 'people's mandate' or 'land slide victory' by any winner, In some states, elections have little to do with fareness or freedom. Bullets and fraud, not informed choice, determine the outcome, 41 • In any case, electoral victory cannot be the defence or the popular sanction for a person's individual will in the matter of governance. The sanction is only for policies and programmes projected in the election campaigns. Continuing political education of the people through the programmes undertaken by the Federation of Voters' Councils, Goa have had some impact on them. People have now become restless and at the same time more mature in their reactions, There is a long way to go until the results are visible and palpable. A beginning in the right direction has been made anyway. However, the question remains. What can an armchair politician or citizen, who cannot lead masses, do? Is he of any use to the present system of governance? Here is the answer: Since the last 4-5 years, an analysis of the annual budget of the Panaji Municipality is carried out by the Federation of Voters' Councils, Goa with the help of the head of the department of economics of local commerce college and its findings are discussed in public meetings. - The first such exercise was undertaken by the organization years ago. One of the important findings, among many others, was that while the number of new houses built in the city area was increasing year by year the amount of revenue collected by the Municipality by way of house tax was declining! A strange finding indeed! In the public meeting of the citizens this issue and many others were hotly debated. The finding was an eye opener and generated interest among the citizens in the affairs of the municipality, It provided an opportunity to the students of economics of the commerce college to acquire a battlefield experience and to see for themselves and to learn from the real life situations. This is what the education is all about. The exercise had its rewards. It has aroused interest of the passive middle class people, burdened by the heavy taxes, in the affairs of the municipality. One can just imagine what impact it would have on the people at large if similar exercise is carried on in all municipalities and village panchayats of Goa. We are now campaigning to spread the message to all corners of Goa by involving collegiate youth in this task. A daunting task indeed! If democracy is the government of the people, for the people and by the people, people have to participate in the decision-making-process and influence collective decisions affecting them. Existing political parties are all averse to this idea. It is in this area that the Goa Su-Raj Party wants to play a major role by involving the people in the decision-making-process and to reshape our democracy into a truly participatory democracy. The party intends to enlist the support of all NGOs in this stupendous task, 42 Experience gained over the years has shown that NGOs have limitations in meeting political challenges. They can be met only by political parties. This was the reason why the need arose for the establishment of a new political party and Goa Su-Raj Party was born. This party, we visualised, would certainly not be a carbon copy of the existing parties but the one entirely different from them in every respect. 1 am sure a discerning Goan expatriate is now aroused and is curious to know what is it that makes the Goa Su-Raj Party different from all existing parties. Well meaning friends who have long experience in political activities confided to us that in our country today to qualify as a politician one must have following credentials: I Must have committed at least 2-3 murders without being touched by the long arm of law. 2. Must have 5-6, 'First Information reports' FIR's lodged against him and the police being unable to arrest him. 3. Must have swindled 2-3 commercial banks with success. Huge loans taken for non-existing projects entered in the category of non-performing assets (N.P.A.'s) and finally to be written off. It took a naive person like me almost a decade to understand the real meaning and the significance of the term NPA coined by the practitioners of white-collar crime. 4. A battalion of muscle men, hoodlums to fix opponents at will. 5. A shouting hrigade (for shouting from the top of their voices livanlal zindabad, Motilal murdabad'), whenever need arises. 6. Two or three editors of newspapers, willing to be his cronies, who would project this 'flea' as a great modern Mahatma after the Mahatma Gandhi. With these requirements one can qualify to be a politician and float a new party and set out to implement his political agenda. Most of us, novices in the political activity, were unnerved and shocked at these qualifications required for politicians in India today. None of us had any of these qualifications nor had any intention of journeying along these lines for achieving political goals. None of us also have ability to acquire any of these qualifications. Humour apart, there is an element of truth in what they said as criminalisation of politics and politicisation of crime is the reality of national political life today. Goa Su-Raj Party has a different agenda. It aims at providing a clean and honest alternative to the people. It is registered with the Election Commission of India. Its founders are non-politicians. They have come froward because they love Goa, and because they are concerned about its future. The do not aspire for positions of power. They have debarred themselves from contesting elections to any public offices. The Party's constitution has made applicahle the 'anti-defection' as well as the 'recall' and `declaration of assets' clauses to its elected MLAs. It also debars defecting MLAs of other parties from joining this party. Also, to bring in new talents, no person shall serve for more than two consecutive terms as MLA. (Clause 30 to 41 are very important and they address people's concerns). No other political party in India has such provisions in its constitution. Therefore this party should find favour with all well-meaning and thinking people wherever they are. All those Goans who have been nourished by the Goan culture and ethos and are proud of their Goan ancestry are welcome to offer their ideas, proposals, suggestions to Goa Su-Raj Party so that a new course could be charted out for our journey towards progress and development. We suggest them to go through the constitution of the party in the website. Our fellow Indians who find that Goa Su-Raj Party is opening a new chapter in the post-independence political history of India and has the potential to influence the course of events to make our democracy more vibrant, people- oriented should come forward to help us in whatever form they can. After all, this is a nation-building task in which every citizen has a contrihution to make and a role to play.

Vice President Keni is not here because of the threat that we still face from the terrorists of Agacaim (Goan village). We don't want them to know where be is. So he is hiding in the sotto (cowshed) behind my house. First of all, I want to assure you that I am all right. That fainting episode was simply my choking on a !ado() (ballshaped candy). I should have followed my grandmother's advice and let my wife feed it to me. Somebody is feeding this speech to me right now. But I don't want to tell you that because you will think I am stupid. Going back to my fainting episode, there was no need to worry because my two cows were watching me when I fainted. They could sense that I was all right. If they had sensed something was wrong, they would have mooed loud enough to alert the Chief Ghaddi Loximon who lives in the house next to mine. I want to tell everybody that we have won our war with the terrorists in Agacaim. The new President of Agacaim who is sitting on the freshly cowdunged spot in the front of this maatov (canopy) there, is my friend. I have patted him on the back and called him nice sounding names. He and his wives are good men. I have promised him some of your money to build all his gotte (cowsheds) and houses that we destroyed in our war against terrorism, But I have told him that he should promise to give the building contracts to our gounde (bricklayers) and pay them the money I gave him, so they can give me some of that money and help me get properly elected the next time. He must also use his bullock carts and trucks to transport the imported feni (Goan cashew fruit derived alcoholic beverage with strong smell) that our taverns need from Cortalim (another Goan village). But the war against terrorism has only started. It will take a long time. Terrorists are everywhere. You have to be careful not to confuse them with tourists. Damn, these words are confusing! All countries must get rid of their tourists - terrorists. But our armed gang members will tell them whicb terrorists to get rid of. The chiefs of our armed gangs tell me that those who can provide our taverns with feni or help us import feni for our taverns at a cheap price are not terrorists. Those who don't listen to us are terrorists. Rai, Amona and Curchorem (three different Goan villages) are building weapons of mass destruction. We will smoke them out of their caves. We will stand firm against them. We will catch them. And we will make them run. Okay, scratch that. First we will stand firm, then smoke them out, then run and finally catch. I am really happy I said it right the second time. I am proud of our armed gang members. Tbey beat up all the tourorrists that come to our land and all people who support them all over the world. They have done a great job in Agacaim. I want to give them better arms. So I will give them a lot of your money to buy new dandarre (bamboo sticks) and fators (rocks and stones) from our mesth (carpenters) and manai (manual laborers) who will then give me some of that money to get me properly elected the next time. Now I have to tell you that I have appointed our Vodlo Bhot the chief of our backyard security and defense. Our backyards are not safe. We have to protect out gotte and coconuts from the terrorists. Terrorists are evil men. Some of their wives are evil men too. But we have to be good to the wives because the terrorists mistreat them. And we have to educate our children. That is the only way she can learn. Otherwise 48 we don't know if they or her is learning or not. One minute. Hey, Forsu (name of a man) I cannot hear your prompting. Read loudly. Finally, I have to say something about our economy. Our copitalist economy is in recession. The members of the tavern and people at home do not get enough copachem (euphemism for strong alcoholic drinks). We don't want to see the end of copitalism as we know it. It won't be good for our economy because we will be economically unsound. So I will give our taverns a tax cut. I will also do something called deregulation. And wait till you hear about this. I will give them a retro tax break. Did you get it? A retroactive tax break! Hey, Hey, I am smart! That means the taverns will be able to be active in everybody's backyard. A tavern will have a tax haven in everybody's backyard, a place that is protected by the Vodlo Bhot, the Chief of Backyard Security who will report directly to me. Backyard behind retro? Get it? Hey, Hey... I am smart! With that I will end my address because it is time to stop and also because my time is up. Thank God. Thank you. Ummm.... What else do I have to say? Prompter Forsu is already tight (Goan slang for being drunk). Ah! Dev borem korum. About the Author.... The author Pandurang Fernandes is an alter ego of Santosh A.

In his youth, Atmarambab had participated in stage performances for almost two decades at Zambauli on the occasion of the annual Shigmo festival. He is an ardent devotee of Shri Shantadurga, his kuldevta, as well as Shri Ganesh and Shri Damodar, who are his Grahadev and Gramdev, respectively. He worked as an Escrivao in Margao from 1931-1951, when he started his law practice. Remarkably, he continued his law practice through 1992, the year he was injured in an accident and compelled to confine his activities to his home. 59 Throughout his life, he was connected with many social, cultural and educational activities and institutions in Margao. For instance, he drafted the constitution for an institution named Mathagrama Hindu Mahasabha. The organization celebrated its 75th anniversary in February, 2002 and where he was a honored guest. Additionally, along with Narcinva Naik and Dr. Shankar Karapurker, he took the initiative to establish the Seva Samati under whose aegis, Adarsha Vinita Vidyalaya, the first ever school for girls was started in Margao. In the business area, in 1935 the city of Margao was electrified by the Compania Electrica de Salcette (Salcette Electic Company). Atrnararnbab, along with the late Mr. Panduranga Virginker, played an integral part in setting up the electric company. Atmarambab became its managing director in the 50's, until it was nationalized in mid 60's. In 1983, with the help of his sons, he started a Powder Coating Company called Marpol. To this day, he is still an active board member of this company. Atmarambab had six children, one daughter and five sons. Three of his children were educated in the U.S. and two of them still reside there. His other three sons are in Goa and looking after the various ventures of the Panandiker family. Today, he has 13 grand children and 5 great grand children. Atmarambab has one brother and two sisters that are following in his footsteps Vaikuntha Kudchadker (aged 98), Jaya Velangi (aged 96) and Gulab Nagarsenkar (aged 90). Atmarambab has a wonderful multi-faceted personality. It is a matter of pride for his family and friends that such a man is still alert and active to guide the destiny of the society through his "Atrnararn Pai Panandiker Charitable Trust", which supports worthy social and educational causes. 4- Alfred Braganza e foundation of our Goan culture is Konkani which has had a checkered history Jrl due to political vicissitudes down the centuries. The earliest formation of the Konkani language dates back to the third century before Christ around Ashoka times; With the arvanization, Konkani eventually supplanted the existing local Dravidian dialects of Goa. The growth of a language invariably follows the hegemony of political powers. Up to the 15th century various dynasties from the Kadambas (937 A.D. to 1310 A.D.), who made Chandor in Goa their capital up to the Hindu empire of Vijaynagar (14th to 15th century A.D.) to the Muslim Bahamani kingdom of Decan in the 15th century, Konkani evolved further by assimilating Urdu and Kanada words. In 1469 Goa was conquered by Bahmani King Muhamad Shah Ili followed by its recapture by Yusuf Adil Khan-Shah of Bijapur in 1488, thus allowing more old Urdu words to be assimilated into Konkani language. In 1498 Vasco da Gama landed in Calicut. Soon came Afonso de Albuquerque. Encouraged by the general of Vijaynagar, Timoja, he launched an onslaught, but the Muslim rulers repulsed the Portuguese. Finally in 1510 reinforcements arrived from Portugal, and the self-same Albuquerque took no time to slaughter the Muslims, turning the Zuari and the Mandavi into rivers of blood. Soon the Portuguese rulers ordered the bonfires of Kondani books, which they suspected to contain paganism and idolatry. These acts of cultural genocide were further intensified with the brutal Portuguese Inquisition of the 17th century. The invasion of Goa by the Marathas: Shivaji in 1668, Sambhaji in 1683, and later on by the Bhonsles in 1741, influenced overwhelming the growth of Konkani with Marathi words and culture. 63 With the advent of Portuguese rule, Christians began to write Konkani in Roman script while the Hindus, more faithful to the Indian culture and traditions, expressed themselves in Konkani and Marathi in Devanagari script. Meanwhile down the Konkan coast, Muslims continued to use Konkani in Arabic, while people in Karwar, Magalore and surrounding areas use Kanada script for Konkani. So scripts are but different garbs for the body of language, just as we wrap up our bodies in dresses or saris or salvar-kameez, kurtas, toliop-baju, jodhpuris or western suits. Even Marathi and English do not have scripts as such, but they follow Devanagari and Roman scripts respectively. Most European languages do not have their own scripts. They follow the Roman script. However, the Devanagari helps us pre-eminently to express all the sound nuances of our Konkani language. Since some years back the ghost of the Roman-Devanagari script controversy has been laid to rest, let us follow only the officially accepted Devanagari script. It will also help us to study more easily other sister languages: Hindi, Marathi, and even Gujurati and Bengali. Let us not Target that two thirds of English words are of foreign descent. It is from this point of view that etymologists and philologists call English the most international language. As the British Empire spread far and wide, English kept on absorbing thousands of foreign, exotic words including those from India. Just like English, our Konkani enriched itself across the centuries by assimilating words from different languages: Kanada, Urdu, Marathi, Portuguese, English, and even Sanskrit in the temples. Years after it was fully recognized by the Sahitya Akademi, in 1975 Konkani became the official language of Goa in 1982. In 1992 it was finally included in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution. (Goa had already become the 25th State of the Union on August 12, 1987). Over the centuries, Konkani continued to be pounded with different cultures and languages, resulting in the de-Konkanization, de Goanization, and at times deIndianization. Konkani ethos must have withstood the onslaught, by saying like Gandhiji, "Let all cultures blow about me, but I refuse to blow off my feet." Durign the last decade or so, the Goa University has bestowed about two hundred B.A. and M.A. degrees in Konkani language literature. A few U.S. universities such as Georgetown University is accepting Ph.D. dissertation on the same subject. 64 Goan Konkani culture has flowered into more than 20 varieties of folksongs such as cradle songs : Paino or Haloio; Marriage: Zofio,Manddo; Dulpodd or Drupodd, Dakni; religious hymns; Harvest such as Dantear Ovio; lahor songs: Kunhi, gendrachim geetam; Fugddio, Dhalo, Tandni, Dhenlo, Lavni, Penne, Gharane, Shigmo geetam, Kantaram etc. Thus our Konkani language is rich in its variegated manifestations of our Goan culture. With Goal's spread out all over the seven seas, the only need to maintain Konkani on its high pedestal now, is to standardize and popularize it. Ami Konknne Konkani Amchi Bhast About the Author....
