Vanxim villagers harrasment condemned
Ilha de Vanxim Association condemns daily harassment of of Vanxim villagers. 98,000 square meters of land is the land whereby our ancestors have lived for centuries. We are their decedents followed by our children.
Under what right Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar is sending his manager Bruno Ferrao every single day to click snaps of our houses and surrounding properties of our Vanxim residents? Under what authority Bruno Ferrao hailing from an island of Divar, Piedade is troubling our villagers every single day by coming with couple of photographers? Has Archbishop Felipe Neri Ferrao given his permission (to Mahendra Gaunekar, Bruno Ferrao) to do so?
Archbishop Felipe Neri Ferrao has no right to trouble the villagers with this type of activity.
The concern authorities kindly investigate in this matter. The vigilance department kindly make note of all this. CID please take note.

Protest against the Betrayal of Caste based census and OBC Census, and disastrous plans for Goa
EDUCATE! ORGANISE!! AGITATE!!!
Protest against the Betrayal of Caste based census and OBC Census, and disastrous plans for Goa
Protest against the Betrayal of Caste based census and OBC Census, and disastrous plans for Goa
Mega Public Meeting on 29th October 2011, 2.30 pm at Azad Maidan, Panjim
Presiding over: HON’BLE WAMAN MESHRAM (National President, Bharat Mukti Morcha)
There will be special invitees too.
Betrayal of OBC: Through out last 64 years Government of India has betrayed OBCs. While British had carried on caste based census from 1871 to 1931 independent India did not do so. This had disastrous impact on the development of the OBCs. Here OBC people suffered a lot. Government of India time and again fooled OBC people and paid only lip service to the implementation of article 340 of the Constitution of India. In 2011 Government of India assured in Parliament to carry on caste based census but it did not keep its word in 2011 census that took place in February this year. Due to absence of counting of OBC their development has been prevented. Census of animals is done but never of OBCs.
Increased atrocities on women in the form of murders, dowry deaths, bride burning, female infanticide, rape etc.
Mining in Goa has created acute inequality; generated huge income Rs 280000000000/- (Rupees 28 lakh crore) in 2010-11 and Rs 230000000000/- (Rupees 23 lakh crore) in 2009-10 but pocketed by few private companies. Mining in Goa needs to be nationalized.
Application of Poona Pact of 1932 for OBC, SC, ST and converted mulnivasi communities made elected representatives slaves of the political parties. (OBC, ST, SC and all other non-ruling minorities are called mulnivasis)
Land Scam for real estate, tourism, eco-tourism, settlement zone, CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zone), SEZ (Special Economic Zone), golf courses, helipad, airports, sports city, sports village, industrial estates, Fish Mill, Expansion of Ports etc. This has created an impact for displacement of mulnivasi people.
Goa Forest Policy 2011 is meant to stop access to forest of the mulnivasi people and increase mining in forest.
Bio-metric (Aadhaar Card) is a disastrous card. How many cards do we need to have? Ration Card, election card, smart card, multipurpose card, PAN card and the card which is not passed in Parliament: Aadhaar card. Boycott this card.
Language controversy: Devnagri Konkni as a language never existed in Goa’s history. It is a brahmanical creation.
Evacuee property: colonial rule in Mayem is preventing mulnivasis from constructing residential houses but allows mining.
Unemployment is creating situation of economic and social instability. Workers need to have permanent jobs by right.
Attack on mulnivasi houses on Goa’s coast, attacks on mulnivasis’ business: Beach Shacks
Brahmanical control over land, communidades, betrayal in implementing Mundcar Act, Regional Plan: broadening of village roads to 10 meters to 15 meters. These roads are already shown in RP 2021 must be deleted.
Martyrdom of Manguesh Gaonkar and Dilip Katu Velip in Balli violence. They fought brahmanical attempts to control adivasi temple lands in Gaondongri, Canacona.
Time and again uncontrollable price rise is increasingly pushing mulnivasi people into poverty. Already 75% (83 crore people out of 120 crore) are living in poverty all over India.
Major corruption, illegalities in various departments of Goa Government like transport, mining etc.
To protest against all these issues Bharat Mukti Morcha has organized mega public meeting at Azad Maidan, Panjim 2.30 pm on 29th October 2011.
We request all to come in big numbers and Save Goa by supporting it wholeheartedly with your time, talent and treasure.

Bharat Mukti Morcha condemns death threats to Vanxim island mulnivasis
Bharat Mukti Morcha takes strong cognizance of development in Vanxim and advises Goa State Government Authorities to prevent crime and uphold Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
If Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar has his ways then there could be at least two funerals in Vanxim this weekend. According to the reliable source key people from Ilha de Vanxim Association and Bharat Mukti Morcha has been selected to be killed preferably through food poisoning. Plan comes up in the wake of stiff resistance to Golf and luxury tourism project in Vanxim Island in Goa’s Tiswadi Taluka.
Killings are planned for this week because of the oncoming gram sabha in Malar Panchayat. Mahendra Gaunekar and Pandurang Madkaikar are hoping that heavens will open and public will support the tourism projects in Vanxim.Opposition, unexpectedly strong has come as a thorn on the way of Rs.700 crore luxury tourism project and that's why Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar wants to sent the opponents of this project towards death a la Supari Killings.Silence of the ruling Congress, MGP, NCP, SGF and Opposition BJP indicates that their voices have been purchased and left with nothing but silence. Any way this is the state of Baman Raj in Goa - Bamon Digambar Kamat rules, Bamon Manohar Parrikar Opposition leader through BJP, Brahmin Dhavlikar brothers took over bhujan party - MGP.

Any way this is the state of Baman Raj in Goa - Bamon Digambar Kamat rules, Bamon Manohar Parrikar Opposition leader through BJP, Brahmin Dhavlikar brothers took over bhujan party - MGP.
This extra-constitutional method of eliminating the opponent to the project was communicated to those handful that come for the embroidery classes in a house in Vanxim bearing number 58. This house once belonged to late Pedro Francis Pinto, after his death was sold to Bamon Shailendra Bhobe (married to Marrissa Roberta Pinto) who in turn reportedly sold it to Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar for Rs. 14 lakh allegedly violating long lease with the Santa Monica convent of Goa Archdiocese headed by Archbishop Felipe Neri Ferrao who initiated no action in illegalities.
The plan to eliminate the opponents of the Golf project was communicated yesterday to the handful few by an alleged agent of Mahendra Gaunekar Priscilla Chawla, in her 30s playing the role of Vishkanya in Vanxim. Bertha Pinto has been given responsibility to implement the deadly plan. The target includes Maggie Silveira, President of Bharat Mukti Morcha Mahila Aghadi, Goa State as well as President of Ilha de Vanxim Association leading the battle against Bamon Raj. Bertha Pinto is the wife of original owner Pedro Francis Pinto who now is employed in her own house by new owner Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar for the purpose of mopping and sweeping. In other words once owner now turned into slave in the unfolding of Bamon Raj. This in any case is distinguishing feature of Bamon Raj – to enslave all the mulnivasis under brahmanical control.
Maggie has been the target earlier too. She was attacked in presence of MLA Pandurang Madkaikar in public by local member of Panchayat Manuel Furtado, his son Jervis Furtado and Philip D’mello from Vitogem, Divar – all de facto agents of Mahendra Gaunekar on 16th May 2010. She had filed police complaint then but till date guilty are not booked, justice denied. This experience has proved that Goa Police do not stand for the protection of Vanxim people. According to top police officer it is Pandurang Madkaikar’s political interference that has prevented arrests of the culprits. Do citizens (Mulnivasis) in Goa left with any protection other than organizing ourselves? Pandurang Madkaikar though is Tribal but aspires to be a bamon and actively engaged in suppressing revolt against bamon raj. With this experience Maggie Silveira feels there is no point in filing any police complaints; it is mere wastage of time.
This mail is posted online to inform public that it is Mahendra Gaunekar and MLA Pandurang Madkaikar who will be responsible for any harm to any of the opponents of Golf Courses, Private Marinas, Spa, Luxury hotels, luxury villas, Casinos, Gambling, prostitution etc in Vanxim. Crimes are going to be committed at their behest and at their supervision.
Police and intelligence agencies note and take necessary action.

Vanxim agitation targets Bamon Raj in Goa
Ilha de Vanxim Association has been blamed for preventing of development of Vanxim Island for this very purpose we called this press conference. As we had 3 mega meetings (all on record with us) people from different places of Goa including NGOs supported Ilha de Vanxim Association.
We call upon all our supporters all Goa to strengthen their full support for our Ilhas de Vanxim Association.
As we have heard through reliable sources that Vanxim Capao Island is going to come under settlement zone, where in it comprises of fields, mangroves, orchard land, mud flats, internal rivulets and sluice gates.
How can these be shown under settlement zone?
Where was Pandurang Madkaikar local MLA for the last long 15 years (to do the development of our Vanxim Island) and also to repair bunds, damaged poles, jetty, pathways as published on Navhind Times dated 1st october 2011.
Can such MLA be relied upon for any more development of our village?
Massive corruption involved in our Combhurjua Constituency under the so called leadership of Pandurang Mankaikar.
5 buses full consisting of 300 people came to the Town and Country Planning Department. On 27/09/2011 whereby some people from Diwar, Malar, narva including migrant labourers and a handful of people from Vanxim - most of them were given Rs.1000/- each by Pandurang Madkaikar's agents.
This is a case of massive corruption and it needs to be thoroughly investigated by the concerned bureau, Vigilance Department, CBI, Income Tax, etc.
Corruption in Vanxim through Local MLA Pandurang Madkaikar must be brought under the purview of Justice Shah Commision.
Time and again we gave our objections through Gram Sabha Resolutions including widening of road, children's park, bridge, etc.
Memorandum letters with our signatures are also forwarded to various Departments such as Governor, Chief Secretary, Chief Town Planner, CRZ, etc.
Local MLA Pandurang Madkaikar published in Herald on 10th September 2011 saying a new bridge will come at Vanxim.
When he cannot meet the basic needs of the Vanxim villagers, how he can fool our people and given false promises.
On the 27th September 2011, at the Town and Country Planning - how could Edgar D'Mello, Assis Furtado adn his brother panch Manuel Furtado say - 'bhatkaracho kainch guneanv nam (Battkar) Bishop Felip Neri Ferrao (Archdiocese of Goa).
Manuel Furtado, local panch is fully supporting the so called project by saying 'we need development' in the village so that the locals would not have to travel far in search of employment. "People from Divar and Malar too would benefit," he optimistically says.
This shows he is fully involved in causing damage and disaster to our paradise virgin island.
This rightfully enforces the creation of Baman Raj because seller as well as buyer are Bamons and all the Islanders who are (Mulnivasis) are sought to be made into slaves.
Jai Mulnivasi!
Jai Bharat!
Jai Ilha de Vanxim Association!

Bharat Mukti Morcha Flags hit Panjim over Vanxim mulnivasi v/s bamon videshi struggle
Today September 27, 2011 was historic day in the life of struggle of mulnivasis in Goa. For the first time Bharat Mukti Morcha flags were bravely unfurled in the capital city of Goa: Panjim. Bharat Mukti Morcha team intervened to confront brahmanical ploy to OBC people with regard to Golf tourism in Vanxim island in Tiswadi taluka.
Bamon Archbishop of Goa Felipe Neri Ferrao has sold Vanxim island to another Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar. Gaunekar then sold the same to corporate Ozone group for 50 crores on record. Mulnivasis – mostly OBCs and those converted to Christianity from OBCs are facing the threat of Displacement.
Villagers had been agitating for the past one year under the banner of Ilha de Vanxim Association. In the course of struggle they came in contact with Bharat Mukti Morcha and very soon its unit got set up in on this island. Brahmanical system got panicked.
Today again the panic brahmanical system poured huge amount of cash and mobilized nearby island OBC people to fight in favour of displacement of OBC people of Vanxim island. The plot is to get OBC to fight against each other.
A news article appeared in the local daily The Navhind Times on 24th September 2011 titled “Vanxim Islanders stand firm against the resort”. This article caused panic to the bamons behind the conspiracy to evict Vanxim islanders and get it declared as eco-tourism zone. (Currently Vanxim is eco-sensitive zone due to lush green mangroves and marshy paddy fields. Paddy fields are in uncultivable state due to brahmanical State of Goa neglected to repair the breach of bunds and allowed salty water to sip in.) Close aides of Chief Minister Bamon Digambar Kamat and Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar met urgently the same night of 24th September 2011 till 1.00 am at the residence e of local MLA Madkaikar– victim of Poona Pact of 1932 – and conspired to create rift amongst Mulnivasi of the surrounding island.
As per the plan today around 300 OBC people was mobilized by paying Rs.500/- each from Divar, Malar, Narva and few from Vanxim and were brought to the headquarters of Town and Country planning department, Panjim. Bharat Mukti Morcha Activists confronted the crowd with their flags portraying the symbols of Bali Raja, Ashoka and flame of revolution. Posters of Bharat Mukti Morcha’s September 01 rally in Delhi was displayed publicly. Bharat Mukti Morcha Mahila Aghadi president Maggie Silveira and Goa State Convenor Sebastian Rodrigues addressed the press. They resolved to intensify the struggle even further and urged mulnivasi people from all over India including those trapped in brahmanical conspiracy from Malar and Divar to realize their plight and join Bharat Mukti Morcha.
The ongoing struggle in Vanxim has hit the Goa’s Bamon system very badly. Bamons in Goa have pressed panic buttons and that’s why flow of money is resorted to. Bharat Mukti Morcha represents genuine interests of Goa’s Mulnivasi people and will further intensify the agitation. The agitation is already taken serious note of by Bharat Mukti Morcha’s National President Waman Meshram in front of whom India’s brahmanical system trembles.
Brahmanical system through local MLA Madkarkar and 7 ministers of Goa who are paid in this project are trying iits level best to make mulnivasis of Vanxim as captives of Bamons by luring them into money, liquor and other vices so that they can made landless and homeless.
Today OBCs from Malar, Divar, Narva who came to Panjim by accepting Rs.500/- proved very clearly that they have lost their self respect and dignity. They forgot the truth that it is the hard painful toil of their ancestors that has handed over Vanxim to the current generation and they are only their custodians. They fell prey to the brahmanical conspiracy. Those who got their self-respect re-kindled within them left the venue and dissociated themselves after being confronted by Bharat Mukti Morcha activists. Panchayat members too are total victims of Poona pact, 1932 as they were paid by Bamons to get OBCs out in order to realize the intentions of bamons. This struggle is a freedom struggle in order to overthrow the Bamon raj in Goa that is responsible to get Vanxim mulnivasis to the brink of harassment and bondage. Bharat Mukti Morcha is already working in this direction and has already taken number of steps like publishing of pamphlets and organizing meeting to expose role of Bamons including that of Archbishop of Goa Felipe Neri Ferrao and Mahendra Gaunekar. Archbishop has not only sold the land but also the water bodies. Ozone group will never succeed in their plans of changing the name of Vanxim into Ozone Island. If they push on then Baman raj in Goa will come to an end sooner due to the efforts of Bharat Mukti Morcha.
Today Chief Town planner was paying the way to Bamons when he suggested to organize the gram sabha and take decision. This is in a situation wherein resolution after resolution of the Malar panchayat are against golf course project in Vanxim right from 2003. It looks that Chief Town planner is keen to attract ire of the mulnivasi organizations. It will be wise on his part to behave properly in this matter and stop being lighthouse for Bamons. The days of Baman raj are numbered and due the agitation for liberation by Bharat Mukti morcha. Perhaps Chief town planner want to get washed in the gutter with bamons when mulnivasis rise up. That day is fast approaching.
Amrut Volvoikar, vice-president of Vanxim unit of Bharat Mukti Morcha said “this project should not come up in Vanxim. Maggie Silveira declared that Vanxim is for Vanshikars(Mulnivasis) and not for Gaunekars (Bamons).
Indian National Congress President Sonia Gandhi reportedly has strong backing to this project of displacing Mulnivasis in Vanxim. Vanxim is small island but due to struggle against Baman raj it has acquired special place in the history that children will study in future. ‘Vanxim ganv keddo, and nanv keddem!’
Vanxim unit of Bharat Mukti Morcha thanks all people, press, citizens groups that supported by objecting the Golf tourism project in Vanxim.
Jai Mulnivasi!

Brahmanical conspiracy behind Biometric cards
Agitation for Liberation
A biometric identity also known as Aadhaar card is similar to existing cards but will also contain biometric information such as photographs, all hand finger prints and images of the iris of the eye which are unique to each person. The data will be centrally stored on high capacity computer “Silas” in Delhi and information of all the cards will be available on the tip of finger. Those who rule will have access to this information on computer buttons and can be shared with surveillance agencies and business houses. Data from Voter’s card, MNERGA Job card, Driving license, PAN card, Passport, Ration card, BPL/APL/Antodya card are integrated on this card.
Advantages told by Indian Government agencies: (1) Needed to make poor visible. Cards will be used to provide service. (2) Cards will curb corruption in Public Distribution System (PDS) and National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).
Disadvantages expected: (1) Tracking of individual becomes easy. Privacy is totally violated. Information is open for sharing (2) It will only guarantee identity; not rights, benefits, and entitlements. This negates the promotional talk of needing for service to the poor under various schemes. (3) Private Citizens information will be easily available to intelligence agencies such as NATGRID, IB, RAW as a result these cards will become the vehicle for the conspiracy for the suppression of traditional liberties of democratic self government. England, USA, Australia tried to enforce biometric cards but public protests forced governments to cancel it. (4) National Identification Authority of India Bill 2010 is still not passed in the Indian Parliament and in spite Biometric enrolment for National Population Register (NPR) is being carried out under Citizenship Act 1955 and the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules 2003. There is no privacy of information under this law as against the Census Act that declares in section 15 “not open to inspection nor admissible in evidence.” (5) Citizenship Rules 2003 classify every individual and every “head of the family” as an informant, who will be penalized if every person in the household is not in the NPR or if the information is outdated. (6) Number becomes source of identity; caste is not enumerated. This gives ruling Brahmins weapons to rule and exploit mulnivasis and their resources. (7) UID transforms citizen into resident. Person who enumerates decides on residency of a particular person. If recorded as not resident then person becomes Stateless.
In February 2009, the Unique Identification (UID) Number project was set up within planning commission of India. In July 2009 Nandan Nilekani was appointed as the chairperson of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and sanctioned Rs 7 crores. In 2010 it was increased to 100 crores and in 2011 further hiked to 1,900 crores. Around 60 crores people in India are to be given UID. UIDAI does not make UID compulsory for citizens but goes about signing MoUs with different organizations like Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) to be “registrars” who may insist that their customers enroll on UID to receive continued service. Goa Government was first State in India to sign this MoU on 22nd April 2010 in the presence of Chief Minister Digambar Kamat. Kamat declared on July 15, 2011 that entire Goa will be covered under UID within four months; by mid-November 2011. 14 lakh people will be given UID number in 4 months.
UID is a conspiracy that is even dangerous than bomb blasts. This problem is of mulnivasi SC, ST, OBC and converted mulnivasi minorities in India. Nandan Nilekani is employed here as Kalam Kasai (slaughterer with pen) – an expression Jyotiba Phule used for Brahmins. According to Waman Meshram, “Now the question comes as to why our people must be subjected to surveillance. It is because those who rule us are not mulnivasis. Because of this ruling brahmanical caste is insecure as to what the mulnivasis are doing and planning against Brahmins. Because of this they want to collate all the private information to put our people under surveillance. Just like fish is caught through bait, UID cards is a bait of the ruling brahmanical caste to get access to the private information of the mulnivasi through computers stationed at a particular place without moving anywhere. This is a violation of fundamental rights. Ruling Brahmins have pushed 83 crore people below poverty line in hunger and semi-hunger. In future situation that is emerging is even more dangerous and to face it we do not have any option other than nation-wide mass movement.”
Oppose Biometric Cards! Don’t disclose private information! Delete collected biometric data! Scrap bio-metric card project!
Jai Bharat! Jai Mulnivasi!
A biometric identity also known as Aadhaar card is similar to existing cards but will also contain biometric information such as photographs, all hand finger prints and images of the iris of the eye which are unique to each person. The data will be centrally stored on high capacity computer “Silas” in Delhi and information of all the cards will be available on the tip of finger. Those who rule will have access to this information on computer buttons and can be shared with surveillance agencies and business houses. Data from Voter’s card, MNERGA Job card, Driving license, PAN card, Passport, Ration card, BPL/APL/Antodya card are integrated on this card.
Advantages told by Indian Government agencies: (1) Needed to make poor visible. Cards will be used to provide service. (2) Cards will curb corruption in Public Distribution System (PDS) and National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).
Disadvantages expected: (1) Tracking of individual becomes easy. Privacy is totally violated. Information is open for sharing (2) It will only guarantee identity; not rights, benefits, and entitlements. This negates the promotional talk of needing for service to the poor under various schemes. (3) Private Citizens information will be easily available to intelligence agencies such as NATGRID, IB, RAW as a result these cards will become the vehicle for the conspiracy for the suppression of traditional liberties of democratic self government. England, USA, Australia tried to enforce biometric cards but public protests forced governments to cancel it. (4) National Identification Authority of India Bill 2010 is still not passed in the Indian Parliament and in spite Biometric enrolment for National Population Register (NPR) is being carried out under Citizenship Act 1955 and the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules 2003. There is no privacy of information under this law as against the Census Act that declares in section 15 “not open to inspection nor admissible in evidence.” (5) Citizenship Rules 2003 classify every individual and every “head of the family” as an informant, who will be penalized if every person in the household is not in the NPR or if the information is outdated. (6) Number becomes source of identity; caste is not enumerated. This gives ruling Brahmins weapons to rule and exploit mulnivasis and their resources. (7) UID transforms citizen into resident. Person who enumerates decides on residency of a particular person. If recorded as not resident then person becomes Stateless.
In February 2009, the Unique Identification (UID) Number project was set up within planning commission of India. In July 2009 Nandan Nilekani was appointed as the chairperson of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and sanctioned Rs 7 crores. In 2010 it was increased to 100 crores and in 2011 further hiked to 1,900 crores. Around 60 crores people in India are to be given UID. UIDAI does not make UID compulsory for citizens but goes about signing MoUs with different organizations like Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) to be “registrars” who may insist that their customers enroll on UID to receive continued service. Goa Government was first State in India to sign this MoU on 22nd April 2010 in the presence of Chief Minister Digambar Kamat. Kamat declared on July 15, 2011 that entire Goa will be covered under UID within four months; by mid-November 2011. 14 lakh people will be given UID number in 4 months.
