GOA: THE RACHOL LEGACY
Dr. Teresa Albuquerque, fellow of the Heras Institute (Mumbai), =
has just produced her sixth book. Mother os 7 children, a high =
school teacher, she realised the need of better history text books, =
and started writing them. Under the guidance of the late Prof. =
G.M. Moraes she wrote her doctoral dissertation on Bombay city. =
It was her second book published as =ABUrbs Prima in Indis=BB(1981). =
Hailing from Santa Cruz she wrote her first book on =ABSanta Cruz that wa=
s=BB, =
and she still considers it as her =ABmagnum opus=BB, a book that is still=
selling well
among Goans worldwide. Her father A.X. Moraes, was the first
Indian secretary (PWD) of what is now the Government of =
Maharashtra, and her brother Frank Moraes, a distinguished =
writer and the first Indian editor of =ABThe Times of India=BB. Her
nephew Don Moraes is too well known for his poetic forays. =
=ABGoa: The Rachol Legacy=BB is a beautiful coffee-table
production, with well-balanced text and illustrations. It is a
pity that Indian publishers are not yet paying attention to the
diacritical marks and accents that are so essential for many
non-English languages, including the Portuguese in this case.
However, it makes up for it with the quality of the pictures. I had
not yet seen elsewhere a photo of the underground passage at =
the Rachol seminary, though I had been in it while a student =
of that institution in mid sixties. =
The book with 110 pages and 55 illustrations is a worthy
tribute to an institution that has produced several generations
of native priests that looked after souls in Goa and outside its =
borders. It has been the nursery of seven Goan bishops. True
to its motto: =ABLuceas sicut luminare=BB (May you shine like a
lamp), Rachol continues to be the fortress of the Goan =
christianity, from where the early Jesuits sallied forth to =
give to Salcete its deep christian tinge that it retains till date.
=ABThe martyrs of Cuncolim=BB, and the =ABKrista Purana=BB belong
to this saga of Rachol. It houses today the Museum of Christian
Art of the Goa Archdiocese, a vivid illustration of its great
spiritual achievements.

Subject: Unattached and on Goa-net?
This is a plea from a dumbo, a nerd, a Philistine ...
Please ask yourself the question - is it really necessary to send that file
as an attachment if it contains pain text? Is it not simpler to send the
full text in the message itself?
What do goa-netters feel? I configured the mail system I use to delete
attachments automatically when the message is deleted. I do not read all
goa-net postings in full (does anyone?). I do scan most and read some.
When a file is attached to a post, I invariably delete the message from the
header so I do not know what I am missing!
Surely the purpose of attaching files to e-mail is for transmitting special
formatting, spreadsheets, graphics etc.

Subject: UK steps in to end child labour in India
Copyright, 1997 Reuters Ltd. All rights reserved. The following news
report may not be republished or redistributed, in whole or in part,
without the prior written consent of Reuters Ltd.
LONDON, May 13 (Reuter) - The new Labour government said on Tuesday it
would work with Britain's business and union leaders to help end reported
child labour in India.
The decision followed a report by the charity Christian Aid, which
urged British sports goods companies that are major buyers of Indian
exports to use their influence to improve the lives of children on the
Indian subcontinent.
"Everyone deplores the exploitation of child labour highlighted in
Christian Aid's report," Trade and Industry Minister Margaret Beckett said
in a statement referring to the charity's details on abuses in India.
"Many British companies are already committed to action to raise their
overseas suppliers' labour standards and I want to harness the efforts of
British business and unions to do whatever we can to ensure that abusive
labour practices are eliminated."
Minister for Trade Stanley Clinton-Davis will meet officials from the
Confederation of British Industry and the Trades Union Congress to discuss
what they can do to solve the problem.
Christian Aid, an agency of British and Irish churches which works
with the poor in 60 countries, said Indian children as young as seven spend
days stitching footballs and boxing and cricket gloves for export to
Britain.
Most of the children are paid a pittance and work in hazardous
conditions, it said in a report released on Monday.
But Christian Aid urged British companies not to ditch their Indian
suppliers and said Britain should not impose a consumer boycott or trade
sanctions which would hurt the people they are trying to help.
Instead it urged Britain's new Labour government and international
agencies to do what they can to help Indian children and their families.
Christian Aid wants a similar agreement to the one struck by the
Pakistani government, the sports goods industry and children's charities to
phase out children labour there.
"Big companies like Mitre, Umbro and Adidas have the money and the
muscle to persuade their existing suppliers to implement codes of conduct
pledging basic minimum labour standards, with independent monitoring to
ensure compliance," said the charity. REUTER

Subject: RE: UK steps in to end child labour in India
Interestingly, In today's Culcutta's Telegraph editorial
". . . Mr Cook has so far been more vocal on human rights than he has
been on trade. Nigeria and Indonesia have already been marked for
lecturing and worse. Though India was not mentioned, Mr Cook can hardly
be ignorant of his party+s repeated support at its conventions for
"self-determination" for Kashmiris through the medium of a plebiscite.
In pursuit of better labour standards Ms Clare Short, minister of
international development, has backed the use of "money and muscle" to
force Indian companies to curb their use of child labour. At issue here
is not the question of child labour but whether such a domestic concern
should be made hostage to bilateral trade. With new Labour the answer,
for now, is yes. As the Blair regime will soon find out, foreign policy
has little room for such sentiment. Next month his government will hand
over Hongkong to the perpetrators of the Tiananmen Square massacre. The
UK+s most important foreign policy concern, the European Union, recently
fell apart over whether to tick off China about human rights ----
largely for fear of losing trade. Mr Cook, who has said the UK will cut
off arms sales to unsavoury countries, will have to decide how he would
have voted in Brussels: trade or rights? If and when he moves on to
Kashmir, Mr Cook will also have to keep in mind the US has abandoned the
plebiscite solution to Kashmir. Labour leaders claim that as former
colonial power London has a special responsibility. In reality, that
amounts to a big fat zero.
A globalization friendly Labour should be gung ho about the free trade
system. But enforcing global labour and environmental standards only
serves to undermine this system. Throw in the confusion that still
accompanies European unity, and Mr Cook will be swimming in
contradictions. The lesson he may have to learn is that letting the
goals of single issue lobby groups become those of the foreign office is
not foreign policy. It is electioneering gone too far."

Subject: New Goan restaurant in London
>From Camden New Journal 15 May 1997
Headline: Goan for a change
By Nick Fagge
International Indian chef of the year, Henry Lobo has taken up residence
at Tandoori Nights in Parkway, Camden Town.
Award-winning Lobo has a history of high-class cuisine which started from
catering for family parties in his home town of Goa, giving his menu its
unique flavour.
"I learnt my cooking at home," says Henry. "I would help prepare for family
parties until everyone started calling me 'Mesta' and demanding I did the
whole thing". Mesta is a colloquial Goan word meaning chef or butler. "I
have been trained in international hotel kitchens and am as happy cooking
French as Indian cuisine," says Henry. "Here though I can cook dishes I grew
up with, Goan food. Not Indian and not Portuguese, but taking influences
from each."
"There are three main ingredients that give Goan food its unique flavour,"
says Henry. We use a lot of tamarind, coconut and vinegar. "
So no run-of-the mill tikka masalas or vindaloos at Tandoori Nights. Henry's
three week-old menu features exotic names such as 'chicken xacutti' and
'gosht hindustani' Dishes that can't be found anywhere else in London.
"We take great care preparing our sauces," says Henry. "I don't see the
point making food so hot that all you can taste are chillies. I spend up to
two hours on each sauce - so you can taste each individual spice."
We were treated to three starters: Aloo tikka or spicy potatoes stuffed with
peas and topped with mint - the humble potato has never tasted so regal;
aubergines stuffed with roasted peanuts and fresh herbs - a cosmopolitan
dish reflecting the wealth of Goan influences; and a spicy prawn pakora or
batter fried prawn and potato dumplings, which produced a welcome explosion
of flavour.
Choosing Indian beer, Cobra and Kingfisher, we eagerly awaited the main
courses., These were gosht hindustani - a full-flavoured lamb curry with
roasted almonds which Henry explained fills any Goan cafe that serves it
- - and chicken xacutti, chicken with coconut and roasted spices, and one
of Henry's award winning dishes.
We also had traditional Goan filleted salmon in a coconut milk and spice
sauce; paneer simla mirch, a stir fry of home made cottage cheese, green
peppers and tomatoes an enticing alternative to meat; spiced potatoes with
fresh herbs and spices lying underneath the creamy topping - another
award-winner. With all this we had nimbu bhath rice, lemon-flavoured with
mustard and lentils, and light and crispy nan.
The meal was certainly a feast, but did not leave that uncomfortably full
and heavy feeling you suffer from an ordinary late-night curry.
Tandoori Nights is much more than just a place to go after the pub. The
lightness and delicacy of the food make it more suitable for lunch-time and
evening entertainment.
A bistro-style facade and specially selected lunchtime menu encourages
continental-style lunchtime trade. The formal dining area is favoured for
evening meals.
Starters cost between UKP 2.45 - 3.95, main courses UKP 3.25 - 12.95, rice
dishes and nan are about UKP 2 .
For those who like Indian food but want to something different the
up-market Tandoori Nights is the place to be.

=
EDDIE FERNANDES <ucy...@ucl.ac.uk> Our friendship started on a
"hot" note. Eddie wrote angrily to me: how could I claim to have
just learnt of GoaNet, when he had dropped in at the *Herald*
office months earlier, and explained all about this....
But this misunderstanding was soon cleared away. Eddie quickly
turned into a good friend, an interesting source of Goa news
from around the world, and someone who has always been helpful
in just about anything. He has been the backbone of GoaNet,
though often he's voiced fears that others may not be
encouraged to take the initiative if he does not gradually
pull out and minimise his postings. (We all hope he
doesn't!)
Besides being Engineering Librarian at University College-London,
Eddie is a "Goa-addict" (his word) and owns a collection of, phew,
1000+ books on Goa. (Please don't get ideas; most of these books
are rare and possibly irreplacable, so there's little chance of
borrowing any.) These have been picked up in Goa, UK, Portugal
and elsewhere.
Eddie's very pleasant-natured wife Lira is also a librarian, at
the British films institute. Wish I had met his son/s....

Subject: INVITE: Computers-in-Schools: May 29 meeting...
On an entirely voluntary basis, some individuals have been supporting a
scheme to take computer education to the school classroom in our state. This
support has come from both within and outside Goa (including expatriates and
even foreign tourists).
GoaNet, the international network of Goa-interested persons working through
the Internet, has also supported this scheme in a very significant way.
So far, a very limited number of schools have benefited from individual
and/or voluntary efforts. Lourdes Convent (Saligao), Bal Bharati Vidyamandir
(Raibander), St. Britto's Mapusa, St Joseph's Arpora are some of the schools
which have been/are to be supported through diverse efforts of different
individuals or GoaNetters.
A strong need has been felt to give some firm shape to this project, so that
many more school students in Goa get easy and affordable access to computer
education. Emmanuel D'Silva, an officer with the World Bank, has proposed
the idea of taking up a study (known as a TOR, or terms of reference study)
to look at the needs of schools in computerisation, how best these needs
could be met, potential for community participation and related subjects.
To discuss the proposal, a meeting has been called on May 29, at 4:30 pm
sharp. The venue is the Computer Lab of St. Francis Xavier's Girls' School,
Duler, Mapusa.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: The May 29 meeting is being held at St. Francis Xavier's Girls School,
in Mapusa. It is off Altinho, a three minute drive from the heart of town.
We have deliberately chosen this venue, so that (i) participants get a
first-hand idea of what we are talking about and (ii) this school, which has
been quietly working on its computerisation plans (with support from
GoaNetters like Dave Futers and Jude Miranda) could also get the much-needed
push and support from all those sympathetic to the project. SFX teacher Jude
Miranda has volunteered to give us their computer classroom itself as the
venue of the meet. What better!
I hope you do not mind the shift of venue. Goa University might have been a
more centralised venue, but SFX gives an additional boost for the project
itself... and it might be worth walking the extra mile (literally!).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Invitees will include persons interested in undertaking the TOR study,
supporters of the Computers-in-School Project, representatives of schools
involved (or to get involved), some young and enthusiastic students of
computers, and any GoaNetters who can make it. Please note this is NOT a
closed meeting. If you feel you have something to contribute, just come
along. If you know of someone's name we've inadvertently left out, do let us
know. Discussion will however be structured and focussed, as far as
possible, so as to attain the objectives of the meet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Agenda for the meet: 1. TOR study for Computers-in-Schools project.
2. Ideas to propel the Computers-in-Schools project.
