The Editor,

Sir For your approval and publication.

Fight to retain our Goan identity.

A Niz Goenkar s fight for Goan Identity is not a yesterdays  realization and today's cry. Despite the Portuguese Rule of 450 years People of Goa managed to retain its unique native Culture thus making Goa one of the most multicultural showcases in India. we have inherited our beautiful Goa from our ancestors for safe keeping and passing it on to the next generation. Many years back I along with many others had shown our concern to the erosion of our unique Goan identity and the influx of migrant in this tiny state of ours only to get brick batted by a few giving pretext of humanity and Indian constitution. Failed by our politicians to safe guard Goa for posterity every Goan has a hilly task ahead to preserve whatever left . There is no  harm in demanding  jobs for the niz Goenkars.  distribution of Goan resources to the sons of the soil. The Niz Goenkar may not win this masive task without the support of the neo Goans who has to realize that here is a Goan who has inherited this beautiful Land from his forefathers and the Neo Goan has been living in sync  with the Niz Goenkar for the last 30 years and will live forever but not by snatching what is rightfully his and depriving Niz Goenkar his right . For all this to happen the identification of the Niz Goenkar is utmost important hence I will support the POGO bill. Let the politicians play their vote bank politics but this unique identification of Niz Goankar is important so our future generations are not displaced and deprived of their right to our mother land  by this  rapid  wave of cultural erosion and identity crises.

courtesy Fr. Victor Ferrao - Information about Indian's progress from 1947 to date

For just facts:-, Modi ji often asks a question what congress has achieved for the country for the last 60 years. This is the answer for him... 

FR.  VICTOR FERRAO

As a citizen of the country I felt it has to be conveyed to them. Modi ji, there is no point in shouting standing in a stage and asking question that what is achieved in 60 years. Dont think that the citizen of our country are fools. You are a Prime Minister of a country which was under British rule for more than 200 years. The people were living just like slaves. Congress came to power in 1947 after independence started with zero. There was nothing in this country except the garbages left out by the British. India didn't even had the resourse to produce even a pin since Britishers left India. The electricity was available only for 20 villages across the country. Telephone facility was available only for 20 rulers (kings) in this country. There was no drinking water supply. There was only 10 small dams. No hospitals, no educational institutions. No fertiliser, no feeds, no water supply for cultivation. There was no job & only starvation in the country. There was many infant death. Very few military staff in the border. Only 4 planes, 20 tankers & fully open borders on all 4 sides of the country. Very minimum roads & bridges. Empty exchequer. Nehru came power in these circumstances.

What is India after 60 years ?

World's largest army. Thousands of war planes, tankers. Lakhs of industrial institutions. Electricity in all villages. Hundreds of electic power stations. Lakhs kilometre of national highways & over bridges. New railway projects, Stadiums, super speciality hospitals, most of the Indian households with television, telephone for all the countrymen. All infrastructure to work in and outside the country, Banks, Universities, AIMS, IITS, IIMS, Nuclear weapons, sub-marines, nuclear stations, ISRO, Navarathna Public sector units.

Indian Army barging till Lahore years back? Split Pakistan into 2 pieces ? 1 lakh of military & commanders surrendered to Indian army? India started exporting minerals & food items ? Bank nationalisation by Mrs. Indira Gandhi? Computer introduces to India & many job opportunities in India and outside the country? You have become PM using information technology?

When you took over as the PM, India was the top 10 economies in the world? Apart from this, GSLV, Mangalyan, Monorail, Metro rail, International airports, Prithvi, Agni, Naag, Nuclear submarines....all these were achieved before you became PM.

Please do not come to people asking what congress has achieved in 60 years.

Please tell people what you have achieved in the last 3 ½ years except changing names, doing statue and cow politics, failed demonetisation, poorly executed GST, and making people stand in long queues. Hypocrite BJPians opposed FDI like anything and now BJP is supporting FDI shamelessly.. BJP is selling India to Ambani and Rafale deal to Anil Ambani's 2-month old company over HAL owned by government of India is a prime example of it.. BJP made petrol, diesel, and LPG price go up by putting more tax, while the price of crude oil became cheaper.. Modi government through SBI in the form of fine collected whopping Rs 1771 crore for not able to maintain minimum balance from the poor people of India. Vikas is happening for Amit Shah's son, Amit Shah, Shaurya Doval, Ambanis, Adani, baba Ramdev's Patanjali group, and the people who sponsors BJP.. 3000 crores have been spent by BJP to clean river Ganga, this corruption each and everyone can find out by taking a dip in river Ganga..

PS This is not an advertisement for the congress campaign. I’m not a congress supporter. I’m just an informed voter who feels it is an insult to his intelligence each time the current government says our country has been no good over the last 60 years!

Are the traffic sentinel himself breaking the rules

Sir 

The traffic sentinel schemes is good source of income for the unemployed youth, the floss  is that like a traffic cop who will wait in hiding on highways to nab traffic offenders,the sentinels also doing his job under covers. If the Traffic police themselves give the powers of issuing challans  to their traffic wardens and volunteers there will be 80 % success rate in implementing proper traffic rules on the roads of GOA.

Many a times  the traffic sentinel  himself breaks the rule when he uses his cell phone to click pictures while riding his bike or driving his car this way he is putting his life too in danger. I wonder how many of the sentinels who have send photos of offences while riding their bike have been booked by the Traffic police most probably none because this must have never come to the minds of the department that that this is also a offence.

The traffic sentinels around the world are more of volunteers who help the regular traffic police in regulation of traffic and impart traffic sense to the road users . Educating a rider about  the use of helmet in saving ones life along with the dependents in his  family  is very important then just to book an  offence. like wise the use of cell phone while riding too can be severe in terms of putting his  and others life in danger.

Give the traffic sentinels   a ID along with a department batch so that their lives are not in danger while doing the job of  traffic policing give him a certificate instead of money and you will see no traffic sentinel on the prowl.Even more  best would be to install CCTV cameras in cities and highways and challan offenders and instead of paying 1000 for 100 points pay your traffic wardens and home guards that money who slog it out doing their duty be it the rain or sun.
