This below is an extract of leaflet distributed during last Panjim Assembly Elections by Independent Candidate Sadanand Vaigankar of Goa Kull and Munkar Sangarsh Samiti.

 

You may be aware that Manohar Pant on 27^th September 2014 in the name of amendment to the Agricultural Tenancy Act created new law for the protection of landlords, and all the tenants and mundkars have been pushed into misery.

By amending section 4 (a) of Agricultural Tenancy Act government has granted ownership rights to landlords. Via section 46 (b) Tenants are told to approach Civil Court to claim their ownership rights. Via section 60 (c) Tenants are told that in case they intend to approach the Court then they must do it within 3 years. After that tenants will have no right to knock the doors of the Court.

This amendment is opposite of Tenancy laws of 1964, 1965 and 1975. Section 4 (a) of The Agricultural Tenancy (Amendment) Act, 2014, Close 4A Contract farming – (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in any other provisions of this Act, any person may by an agreement entered into in writing with the landlord or an owner of the land, and duly registered with the Sub-Registrar of the Taluka within whose jurisdiction such land is situated, cultivable, or undertake and carry out any agricultural operations upon, such land.

By this provision landlords can take all the land and strip tenants of all the rights. Most of the landlords are Bamons and almost all the tenants are mulnivasis. The intention of this law is to handover land control to Bamons, thereby ushering intensified rule of Bamon Raj i.e Manusmriti.

In opposition to this law Tenancy Act, 1964, section 7 and as per the government circular dated 20^th December 1995 under no circumstances landlords can get these lands back. Even land abandoned by tenants cannot be reverted back to landlord. Who should get these land is also well set by section 18 J of the above cited government circular.

Circular

    “ A question has arisen as to whether a tenant who is the deemed owner of land under the Goa, Daman and Diu Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1964 (Act 7 of 1964), can revert the land back to the original landlord.

     The matter has been examined and it is hereby advised that under no circumstances can a tenant under the Act, 1964 revert the land back to the landlord but the land shall be disposed off in the manner provided in sub-section (2) of section 18 J of the said Act, 1964.”

A Cardozo, Under Secretary (Revenue) to the Government of Goa.

Panaji, 20^th December 1994

Parrikar’s new law is in complete opposition to the existing law. Section 4 (a) is meant to cheat, loot and against the interest of the tenants. Within this one section Parrikar has destroyed 1964 and 1975 Tenancy law. Through the new pro-landlord law section 46 (b) Parrikar has fixed that tenancy cases will be filed in session court alone. But as per section 58 of Goa, Daman and Diu Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1964 no Court has jurisdiction to settle, decide or deal with any question which is by or under this Act.

“Section 58. of Goa, Daman and Diu Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1964 – (2) save as provided under this Act, no Court shall have jurisdiction to settle, decide or deal with any question which is by or under this Act required to be settled, decided or dealt with by the Mamlatdar, Tribunal, Collector or Government and no order passed by these authorities under this Act shall be questioned in any Civil or Criminal Court.”

Under Section 46 (b) no tenant will get Justice in Session Court. This is because 95% of tenants does not posses their receipts, their names are not entered in Form I & XIV, someone else’s name is entered in Form I & XIV as tenant. It is next to impossible to get witnesses in the Session court. Court will not be able to go and inspect the paddy fields and investigate, for it has no powers to do so. And most importantly tenant has to search and get Opponent landlord. From where the landlord of he two-three generation past will be found by the current generation of tenant to be presented in the Court as Opponent? If Landlord is not presented as Opponent then Court will not accept the case for hearings.In this circumstances no tenant will get Justice. After expiry of three years landlord will personally take over the land.

Under section 60 (c) Manohar Pant (Pant is a title used exclusively in Bamon kingdom of Peshwayee in Pune that was destroyed by  Mahar regiment of British empire in bloody war of 01/01/1818) speaks of providing speedy justice to tenants.

25 years ago BJP set up its shop in Goa. It was then BJP’s first elections. From that day we fought thousands of agitations, so many marches (yatras) went criss-cross Goa. In 2000 BJP government was formed in Goa under Parrikar’s leadership.  Yet for past 25 years Parrikar has not launched a single agitation to get Justice for Tenants, never thought about their rights.

For past 25 years we have not worked for any political party except BJP. We have not voted for any political party except BJP. In this context we cannot question Congress. We are questioning Parrikar. Fro past 50 years tenants in Goa have been denied Justice. Of these Parrikar is responsible for 25 years. If he wanted then through agitation, could have pressurized any government in power and helped tenants to attain Justice. He was the leader of the opposition for past so many years. So, then why he never raised the issue of tenants to government in power?

In March 2012 BJP government was established why he thought of amending tenancy law after two and half years, after Lok Sabha Elections concluded? He was thinking that public will not understand the conspiracy behind this two-and-half years of silence. He knew if he had to bring amendment then it would have negatively affected both the Lok Sabha Seats in Goa.

The Second question, Parrikar used to make public statement repeatedly that people should ‘frame BJP’s Assembly and Lok Sabha Elections and hang on wall’. But in these manifestoes nowhere has he mentioned that he is going to invent Tenancy law and usher in Landlordism that is Bamanism. This he concealed intentionally from Goa’s Bhahujan Samaj.

Mostly Tenancy lands are under control of Bhahujan Samaj and Parrikar has betrayed them. This they have not realized till date as Parrikar has driven them to misery. Eyes of Bhahujan Samaj are blindfolded with numerous government schemes. They will not stay blind for long. The day the eyes of bhahujan Samaj will open Parrikar will realize the power of Bhahujan Samaj. They have not yet understood that the so many welfare schemes that Parrikar has implemented has dished out money that are siphoned off from the pockets of bhahujan samaj itself are returned as schemes.

At Central government level after BJP came to power with absolute majority Narendra Modi has smashed he backbone of farmers. In order to create misery Modi repealed two important legal safeguards on 1^st January 2014. Prior to this farmer was legally safe and secure. In one legal provision it was maintained that if government want to acquire farm land of double crop variety then it was mandatory for the government to take permission of 80% of farmers. After that as a compensation government had to pay 4 times of the contemporary market rate; it was mandatory that while giving this compensation also pay 100% interest for a year.

The second legal provision that was repealed was farmers’ right to challenge land acquisition in the Court of Law. Now both these safeguards are done away with and state can acquire any land at any price and farmers will have no right to challenge in the court of law.

Now if any farmer securely engaged in his farming business and his land is confiscated, what should this farmer do at this moment?

Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar (Ozone Corporate) bulldozed in Vanxim

Ilha de Vanxim Association appreciates written statements of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar with regard to State policy on river bank land, mangroves land and agricultural land. Goa Chief Minister in a written letter dated 16^th April 2014 addressed to the then Indian Minister of Environment and Forest Dr.M.Veerappa Moily has made three decisive statements that are directly applicable to safety of Vanxim island. The three statements are as follows:

1.     “The State is blessed with seven rivers and covers length of 253 kms. Approximately. The state is committed to conserve its natural heritage by regulating development around the rivers; and hence has subjected the areas around rivers under the Coastal Zone Regulation with No development Zone’s of 100 meters from the bank of the rivers on all sides; thereby imposing serious land use restriction.” Vanxim is located right in the middle of Mandovi river and if measured 100 meters from the banks of Mandovi river eliminates any chance of construction of Spa, Golf Course, five star hotel by Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar and his allies at ozone corporate. Ilha de Vanxim Association welcomes this decision of the Chief Minister. Such construction plans are being circulated in written form in Vanxim.

2.     “The State’s Coastal areas are full of Mangroves and khazan land and development around mangroves and on khazan land is banned by the State Government as voluntary measure to protect the ecological heritage of the State and to maintain ecological balance in the State.” Vanxim too is full of mangroves. Gaunekar tried to cut some of the mangroves and for this he needs to be arrested, trial be conducted and imprisoned. Ilha de Vanxim Association welcomes this decision of the Goa government too.

3.     “Also 40 % of the land is under agriculture which the government has decided not to be diverted.” Huge track of land of Vanxim island is under agriculture that is currently obstructed due to vested interests at agriculture department and people like Narayan Bhonsle of Tentant Association colluding with each other and with Mahendra Gaunekar for mutual destruction of agriculture of Vanxim island. Mahendra Gaunekar has filed nearly 70 court cases against the tenants and paid huge amount of cash to discourage them from holding on to their paddy fields and instead soliciting false negative declarations that they have never cultivated these paddy fields! Archbishop of Goa sold these paddy fields to Mahendra Gaunekar for Rs.6/- per square meter with huge cash in black. Perhaps this has been one of the most likely subjects of Archbishop’s below-the-radar discussion with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 14^th June 2014. Ilha de Vanxim Association supports this decision of the Chief minister and agricultural land in Vanxim too should not be diverted. Its survey number 8 too must not be diverted for settlement purpose as it is paddy field. Those responsible for lobbying and changing land use pattern of survey number 8 in regional plan must be immediately arrested, put on trial and imprisoned. Chief culprit here is Mahendra Gaunekar. Immediately State government must get its act together and with Tarun Tejpal arrest speed also put Mahendra Gaunekar behind the bars. Mahendra Gaunekar must also be tried and prosecuted for paying large amount of cash to tenants in order to lure them to abandon cultivation and repairs of bunds thereby causing flood of paddy fields. This is absolutely criminal and Mahendra Gaunekar must be immediately taken into custody. In this way agriculture in Vanxim must be revived and people educated and encouraged to cultivate paddy for this is what sustains life. 

As Goa Chief Minister has put these points in the form of written letter this goes as legally valid and that needs to be honored by him and for his very integrity.

Sincerely,

L. F. Silveira's letter of 1981 on corruption in Agriculture department regarding Vanxim bunds

Here we reproduce letter written in 1981 by late L. F. Silveira to the agriculture department on the corruption while repairing of bunds defending Vanxim. Few things are clear from this letter. First, it is not just Archbishops Neri and Gonsalves that has played dirty by selling island but also Goa Government through its Agriculture department is directly involved in weakening defence bunds of Vanxim that regulated movement of salty water of Mandovi river and ensure cultivation of paddy in these reclaimed lands. Secondly, the breaches caused to the bunds were neglected by Tenants Association after L. F. Silveira passed away in the decade of 1990s and Narayan Bhonsle took over the leadership. He instead of protecting bunds and its paddy fields allowed further breaches and compromised with Bamon Mahendra Gaunekar with Philip D'mello of Vitogem, Divar as a broker. In this way Bhosle allowed paddy fields of Vanxim to get ruined. These paddy fields are today are sold by Archbishop Neri to Gaunekar (for Rs. 6/- per square meter) who in turns sold it to Ozone corporate for Rs. 35 crores. This letter is published as it is important historical document of bravery on the part of Tenants of Vanxim led by late L. F. Silveira.

L.F.Silveira,

Chairman, Vanxim Tenants Association,

P.O. Piedade, Vanxim, Ilhas, Goa

9^th September 1981

To,

The Director,

Soil Conservation Division,

Directorate of Agriculture,

Panaji – Goa

Sir,

Sub: Closure of breaches in the bund defending the paddy field “Vanxim” of Tiswadi Taluka.

Reference your letter dated 25^th August 1981 about the first para, we the Committee Members, surprised to note that the Govt. spent over three lakhs of rupees to repair our bund in the year 1977-78.

There are several letters written to the Director in this connection how bad the work was carried on by the contractor and we also appealed not to pay him unless he hand over the bund after the completion of his work to the committee.

The contractor gave his work to another sub-contractor and ran away without giving his charge to the Committee and collected his money without fulfilling his conditions.

It is a mystery how he was paid, without handing over charge of his work to us inspite of our letters to the above office when there were 7 big breaches of bund in addition to the other big one for which we spent nearly Rs.80,000/- by way of material in the whole of Tiswadi Taluka. The estimate was made by Soil Conservation Officer in February 1977 with his Engineer Mr.Rajan by name but upto now we have not received a single N.P. from the Dept. concerned, which can be confirmed from your records.

Kindly investigate and inform the undersigned please.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(L. F. Silveira)

Bharat Mukti Morcha congratulates Navelim farmers for defeating RSS in Margao

In the preset scenario it is worth admonishing MLA Mr.Avertano Furtado on compromise with the powers of the dark that is directly responsible for murder of M.K.Gandhi. It would be well for him to remember for the Apocalypse 22:15 records “Without are dogs and sorcerers, and unchaste and murderers, and servers of idols, and everyone that loveth and maketh a lie”. If Avartano Furtado withdraws his support to RSS (Racial Superiority System) program in Navelim then he will attract lots of blessings on himself.

Bharat Mukti Morcha congratulates farmers of Navelim, Salcete in South Goa on their stupendous victory over RSS (Racial Superiority System), an agency working towards violent defense and promotion of brahmanism. Farmers fought with one resolve and refused to part with their paddy fields. Farmers were put under severe arm twisting methods. South Goa Collector, Goa Police etc were the constitutional means that were deployed to battle against the agitating farmers. Then telephonic threats were issued to farmer cum activist connected with Navelim Civic and Consumers Forum, and Navelim Xetkarancho Ekvott Joseph Vaz in order to get him into submission to sign written undertaking that farmers will not protest against the RSS (Racial Superiority System) convention from 23-25 December in paddy fields in front of Margao Railway Station. Joseph Vaz courageously refused to fall in line with RSS (Racial Superiority System) and abstained from attending meeting with police as it was illegal since police did not serve call letter to Joseph Vaz. The South Goa Collector is said to have claimed that Joseph Vaz has been indulging in excavation of mud for the purpose of mining. Perhaps Chief Minister who directed the Collector to draft this complaint believe mining and agriculture is one the same as Avdooth Timblo of Fomento group would call it mineral farming five years ago!

Farmers fought valiantly from 14 December 2013 onwards and Bharat Mutki Morcha extended public support. And farmers won. RSS (Racial Superiority System) on 17^th December 2013 realized that they are no match to the might of the Navelim farmers, decided to give up insisting on taking over famers land and succumbed into shifting their Convention venue to some other place in Navelim whereto RSS (Racial Superiority System) has already turned into unwanted guests due to their mission of defending brahminism in various insidious ways including extra-constitutional ways of threatening and murder like that of M.K.Gandhi. Bharat Mutki Morcha thanks all those stood in defense of farmers of Navelim during their time of invasion from RSS (Racial Superiority System). Hence forth December 17 will be remembered as the day of victory against Bamanism. In 2008 this was a day of lathi charge against Gawdas in Ambaulim, Quepem while they protested against dust pollution of trucks transporting iron ore.

The agricultural land that SUDA is claiming to be its own - by virtue of frauds committed- but under the cultivatory possession of Navelim farmers, is yet to be transferred back to farmers.

In the face of this tremendous victory of farmers it is worth examining few things. The first thing is that how easily police was transformed into private defense force of Bamon Raj with Collector as its Chief Executive officer. It is also worth to recall that police when turned into this state were numb to the threats issued to Joseph Vaz even after the number was made public on internet. Here lies double standard of the Home Minister. Proceedings against Tarun Tejpal were initiated based on information on public email group even before rape survivor formally launched complaint.

The uncompromising stand of Navelim farmers led to collapse of entire edifice of State erected in defense of bamanism. The RSS (Racial Superiority System) had to change the venue as continued combat against Navelim farmers would have turned entire Goa hostile to RSS (Racial Superiority System) much faster. That would have led to preponing of demise of Bamanism. The polarization that occurred was mulnivasi farmers v/s Bamani RSS (Racial Superiority System).

Navelim farmers refused to allow agenda of RSS (Racial Superiority System) and the Chief Minister to decide the fate of their paddy fields. They decisively asserted themselves. This is indeed a golden moment in the history of agriculture in Goa. Farmers refused to be kicked out like a football on Fatorda stadium but articulated their point of view that RSS way is a highway to disaster for their paddy fields. With this action farmers entered history as its subjects and not as objects to be acted and operated upon by RSS (Racial Superiority System).

The next issue that needs to be taken up for discussion is as to why RSS (Racial Superiority System) decided to take paddy fields that too which were under cultivation as a venue for their convention. The logical answer is that RSS cares a damn either for paddy fields or the farmers, or both. Firstly, RSS (Racial Superiority System) being founded in defense of brahminism is natural to be insensitive for paddy fields. According to Hon.Waman Meshram Manusmriti forbids bamons from engaging in agricultural activity. It is therefore natural that the organization of Bamon Raj – RSS (Racial Superiority System) would remain insensitive to paddy fields. Secondly, RSS being in defense of baminism is logically in a mindset of aggression towards mulnivasis. The Margao paddy fields under discussions are cultivated by mulnivasi farmers. So these mulnivasi farmers were ready made object of bamani hostility to be unleashed through RSS. Thirdly, these farmers are Christians and this fact turned into natural fodder for RSS (Racial Superiority System) to feed on and carry on their calculated hostility for the purpose of creating polarization against Christians. This hostility is essential for Bamon raj and its survival from impending demise. With this hostility in motion, according to Prof.Deshpande’s analysis ‘Hindu’ is manufactured only through reaction. If not pushed into reaction then mulnivasi bhahujan samaj stays segmented in the jati frame of mind created by bamon raj; some are Marathas, others are Velips, more Gawdas, still others Mahars, some Bhandaris, some Telis, some Dhangars, still other Kharvis. Only in the situation of hostility all jati identities merge into single identity as ‘Hindu’. It is under this situation that Bamon is able to rise as leader of bhahujan Samaj – when it turns into Hindu.

Bamons being miniscule minority always feel insecure till they are leaders of mulnivasi people. Now if bamons has to establish their control and rule over increasingly conscious bhahujan samaj of Goa then they have to create riots against Christians amongst other things.

In riots no bamons are targeted. This is a history of 67,000 riots in India from the time of transfer of power from British to Brahmins in India – 15^th August 1947. Majority of riots took place under the Congress rule. Modus operandi: Once the riots takes place all the jatis will be contacted by RSS and will be united under the category of Hindu, the Persian word that means slave. With fear everyone will be blackmailed into accepting bamani leadership.  Once we are united then bamons will hoist themselves as our leaders. One bamon has already hoisted himself as Archbishop and carrying on bamani agenda from within the Church. This is visible even to the editor of Lokamat Raju Nayak and he wrote about it on 27^th October 2013 in several paragraphs on Church and its practice of casteism.

Once this polarization takes place then mulnivasis who are Christians will be encouraged to engage in a fight to kill with mulnivasis who are from bhahujan samaj and vice versa. This is a policy of divide and rule which will be practiced to reduce majority bhahujan samaj into fragments to be engaged continuously into strife and tiny bamons as ruling minority. All the bamons will remain united to rule over the situation which will emerge in this scenario. This strategy is laid down in writing by Walawalkar Varde allias Shenoy Goembab way back in 1945 in his book “Kahi Marathi Lekh”. This book is dedicated to children who are exclusively Bamons. This is the reason in 2002 bamon Manohar Parrikar decided to celebrate his birth centenary through state funding. Of course he had to withdraw due to public protests specially from Ramnath Naik. In 2002 he was CM of Goa. In 2002 he practiced bamanism. In 2013 he is CM of Goa. In 2013 he is practicing bamanism.

As a part of this bamanism Manohar Parrikar seems to have brokered deal with Navelim MLA Avertano Furtado to shift the venue of the RSS program from paddy fields in front of Margao Railway station to the paddy fields that are not under cultivation behind the Navelim’s Our Lady of Rosary Church. This is evident from logical thinking that program could never get shifted behind Navelim Church without political patronage of the local MLA. One may ask as to what is the need for holding RSS (Racial Superiority System) progam in Navelim. Frankly, no one from Navelim has invited RSS to their village. Out of so many villages in Goa why only choose Navelim? Lets examine the detail implications as to likely scenario. RSS (Racial Superiority System) is vocally against Christian mulnivasis. And Christian mulnivasi  MLA has allowed RSS program to be shifted behind Navelim’s Our lady of Rosary Church. Christian mulnivasi and other Bhahujan samaj does not harness benefit from RSS convention. As per preceding analysis only Bamon Raj will benefit massively. Now the Navelim MLA is not a Bamon. In fact he is mulnivasi, politically rather naïve. Bamon Parrikar is seeking to destroy him politically in a bamani style. The naivety of Mr.Furtado however in the present circumstance is threatening to plunge entire mulnivasis into bamani trap. This tacit political support to RSS (Racial Superiority System) program with no benefit to community except to the bamons with absolute certainty will result in use and discard of the MLA Furtado. Furtado’s inability to stand firm against RSS even though he is not the member of BJP has only transformed himself into an object to be used and discarded.  And as Hon.Waman Meshram often says those who allow themselves to be used never become self-reliant to promote the welfare of those whom they represent. They sell out or barter the interest of those who has reposed faith in their leadership. Perhaps Furtado finds the ministership in Parrikar cabinet more importantly alluring than the community interests that he represents. Surely he was not elected in order to host RSS convention behind Navelim Church nor was it part of his elections manifesto when he contested as independent candidate from Navelim constituency and defeated Churchill Alemao. In that case he must know that Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar resigned from the Nehru cabinet rather than compromise community interest. That is called genuine leadership of the community.

In the preset scenario it is worth admonishing MLA Mr.Avertano Furtado on compromise with the powers of the dark that is directly responsible for murder of M.K.Gandhi. It would be well for him to remember for the Apocalypse 22:15 records “Without are dogs and sorcerers, and unchaste and murderers, and servers of idols, and everyone that loveth and maketh a lie”. If Avartano Furtado withdraws his support to RSS (Racial Superiority System) program in Navelim then he will attract lots of blessings on himself. If he continues to support RSS (Racial Superiority System) program even reluctantly and program goes ahead behind the Our Lady of Rosary Church then disastrous fall outs would follow beyond the control of Navelim MLA. The farmers of Navelim has demonstrated guts of extra-ordinary nature to convey message that no power - not even the RSS (Racial Superiority System) - is invincible. All that Navelim MLA Furtado has to do is imitate the uncompromising stance of the Navelim farmers. If he is feeling absence of courage then call upon farmers of Navelim to support him. Avertano has just 3 days to demolish the bamani forces wanting to set up bamani nest in Navelim with no benefit to Navelim mulnivasi people. The ball is in your court Mr.Furtado, for your bold action of chasing RSS (Racial Superiority System) away will pave way for bold future. Your cowardly attitude will then prompt public to look at you with scorn, shame, disgust and boldly to overthrow you. How you want to be treated by public is your choice.
