Towards Achievable Peace Agenda in Goa

Subhas Velingkar, chief RSS functionaries in Goa is booked under section 299 BNS 2023 at Bicholim Police Station last night after protests in Margao and on online platforms against his hateful speech three days ago in Bicholim. Speech involved controversial statements on St. Francis Xavier's incorrupt body at the Basillica of Bom Jesus, Old Goa.

His Konkani Speech was uploaded online and made available in public domain invoking widespread disapproval of his controversial positions that included demand for DNA test of St. Francis Xavier's "corpse" and shifting of his remains from Goa to Spain. Velingkar who has been active in brahmin-defence organisation known as RSS is known for his spiteful speeches directed towards religious controversies.

RSS was set up century ago as a militant cover providing buffer to Brahamin caste people as its original hidden agenda. They wear khaki uniforms, short pants, lathi in hand and hitler salute at their parade grounds. It's top leadership always stays with Brahmin males whose DNA doesn't match with any other caste in India indicating that they are ancient foreign invaders in India, formed graded inequality by way of Varna system and were always opposed to Dr. B.R.Ambedkar. DNA study was carried on decade ago by team of International Scholar led by Michael Bamshad of Utah University and research findings put out in public domain.

And as per demand of Subhas Velingkar dead Saint with foreign DNA cannot rest in India as Goecho Saib due to nationality question how can brahmin males with DNA that doesn't match with any other males in India continue to reside in India? Hon. Waman Meshram has been raising this issue across India over the past one decade and DNA of Brahmins and their foreign origin is already well established beyond doubt. The point is just because Brahmin male DNA are proved to be foreign to India should demand be raised to send brahmins outside India's borders to places in the World where their DNA matches? How would Subhas Velingkar and his RSS will respond if demand like this is raised when their organisation itself is founded and perpetuated for the safety and defence of Brahmins?

Nationality issue of Goa is well articulated by Supreme Court of India as "annexed through conquest" even though it is trumpeted as Liberation by the likes of Subhas Velingkar.

RSS has numerous offshoot organisations and BJP is one of them through with brahminical agenda is sought to be pushed on. It recruits its caders from lower castes, brainwashed thoroughly and released in society to create communal tensions.

There are historical findings that St. Francis Xavier himself was persecuted by brahmins during his lifetime. One night when pursued St. Francis Xavier hid on top of the tree at night. He has performed miracle of bringing dead person to life in order to win the faith of the local people who then converted to Catholic faith. It is therefore no surprise that RSS is still insecure with dead St. Francis Xavier many centuries ago. The fact remains in black and white that the religious philosophy and practice of faith that St. Francis Xavier lived and died for is completely hostile to Brahminical religion that declared every local man and woman as slave "shudra" as per manusmriti. St. Francis Xavier functioned with Grace of God and as per beliefs he has special mission for which his body stays in Goa.

RSS functions through setting up of various local level organisations known as Shakhas across India. Subhas Velingkar has been instrumental in setting up these organisational units in different parts of Goa. He traveled widely and trained large number of people to carry on hateful mission. One example is Divar Island. Over the past two decades Velingkar has been frequent visitor to conduct RSS cader camps injecting ideological poison in minds of vulnerable people.

The fruit of Velingkar's efforts are visible in rather stark manner in Divar. Handful of RSS functionaries has taken over management of St. Aloysius School on the island and carry on indoctrination program. Another non-Goan RSS functionary from Maharashtra who resides just opposite St. Aloysious School has taken over management of Divar crematorium.

School management ensures very strict compliance to communal agenda. No one associated with PTA of school is allowed to participate in Divar Bonderam festival floats prompting religious harmony. Few parents who participated in Bonderam few years back were warned by School management in a special and compliance to communal policies were ensured by threats of expelling their children studying at St. Aloysious School. When parents questioned on fact that Ganesh immersion in Divar cannot be carried on without catholic participation RSS functionary on school management turned red fazed and threatened parents of expulsion of their children.

RSS functionaries are also about to take over Navelim-Goltim Panchayat. Currently they are in preparatory stage and are in ruling camp backing Mario Pinto. If sufficient attention is not paid then it is just a matter of time that RSS will also take over the Panchayat.

RSS is active is St. Mathias Panchayat as well and their activities there needs careful examination and scanning. There they used Shivaji card and installed statue in front of the Panchayat. They haven't examined the role Portuguese played when Mughals were after his father and how Portuguese acted in those moments. RSS is also behind pushing Gram Sabha resolution for Bridge connecting Divar to Vanxim Island for corporate benefits. Sao Mathias Panchayat just had non-confidence motion against the sitting Sarpanch Supriya Tari. New Sarpanch role needs careful vigilance.

Subhas Velingkar has quality of arm twisting corporates to further their agenda. The way Subhas Velingkar went about hijacking anti-mining movement in Bicholim is worth examining. He got involved against agitation against Dempo Mines in Lamgao village many years ago. Then took over the leadership of the movement. After that compromised with Dempos after extracting enough funds to construct their educational institution names after Hedgewar in Panjim. Agitation against mining was withdrawn. Local people betrayed. Ecology destroyed.

Subhas Velingkar's comments provides us with opportunity to examine and addresses cancerous growth in our society promoted by RSS and their functionaries all over Goa in cities and villages. Its an occasion to know them, understand them and combat them. They operate in complex manner but can be traced effectively and exposed with the blessings of St. Francis Xavier.

We need to expand horizons of our vigilance to all over Goa, to all that RSS does and confront their role as springs of hatred, disharmony at the service of a the destructive projects and  promotion ecocide of Goa.

We begin with Divar island and name RSS functionaries here in Public Interests: Shindolkar and Sarvesh These two people constitute RSS leadership in Divar island who directs clandastine divisive agenda and close collaborators of Subhas Velingkar.

Let's profile RSS functionaries village by village and bring then to light in public domain. This will make dealing with RSS agenda effective and impactful.

It's important to remember that RSS is a cadre based organisation and there is entire organisation behind nefarious acts of Subhas Velingkar. On October 06, 2022 three lakh volunteers Bharat Mukti Morcha (BMM) led by Hon. Waman Meshram marched to RSS headquarters in Nagpur and forced shut it down. BMM is the first organisation to march on RSS headquarters as likes of Subhas Velingkar are directed from there to pursue their hateful enslaving agendas.

In the meanwhile let's continue to pray for Subhas Velingkar for God may touch him just the way Saul was to emerge as Paul.

Jai Mulnivasi!

Harassment by PSI Edwin Dias of Old Goa Police Station

Today September 09, 2019 at 10.15 am Police Sub Inspector (PSI) Edwin Dias was involved in harassing people traveling from Pillar to Old Goa by fining them saying "No Entry". There is no arrow seen which can be visible to Public. In spite of  whole team hiding and waiting to fine the public there is no single police personnel kept for giving directions. PSI Edwin Dias says "from my salary money will be cut if police does not fine public". PSI Edwin also said "let me be transferred as early as possible." Police must properly direct the People by proper traffic arrangement so that people are not misguided and pay the fine. Is it such a pitiful situation that government cut police monthly salary if they don't harass public? Should bad road scenes be abused by police as money collection centers for their political bosses?

The roads in Old Goa are in such a misery when so much of money is coming from Central government for maintaining highways. Repair the roads which are in disaster scene and save the public life. Public harassment by Goa Police must stop.

Pontoon approvals in Mandovi a fraud



Date: 15th May 2015

To,

The Chairman,

Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA),

Panjim, Goa



To,

The Captain of Ports,

Panjim, Goa



Sub:- Objections to Pontoon in Mandovi



Sir,

We have come through know from the minutes of the 113th meeting of GCZMA held on 26th February 2015 (case no. 7.5, page 32) that GCZMA has granted permission to M/s Ozone Leisure and Resorts Pvt. Ltd in order to construct floating pontoon jetty in river Mandovi river adjacent to the plot bearing Survey no. 2/5, Panelim Village, Old Goa.



Site inspection report cited in the minutes points out “Any structure within river is bound to cause upstream and / or downstream erosion and / or accretion. Such activities need an EIA from competent authorities as stipulated in the CRZ 2011 rules.



Thereafter it is mentioned that “after detailed discussion and due deliberations and on considering the report of the site inspection conducted on 10/10/2014 by Dr. Antonio Mascarenhas, Expert member of GCZMA, the authority decided to approve  the proposal for the proposed construction of floating pontoon jetty in river Mandovi adjacent to the plot bearing Survey no. 2/5, Panelim village, Old Goa, Tiswadi Taluka, by M/s Ozone Leisure and Resorts Pvt. Ltd with a condition that  the applicant should not carry out any land reclamation in the said area and further the Authority decided to direct the applicant to plant at least 200 mangroves in the property in consultation with the Forest Department and Goa State Biodiversity Board (GSBB)”



Bharat Mukti Morcha considers this approval to M/s Ozone Leisure and Resorts Pvt. Ltd to construct 18 meters long and 10 meters deep floating Pontoon Jetty in Old Goa as fraud as the observation of Expert Member Antonio Mascarenhas to carry on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under CRZ 2011 rules before construction has been over looked and the transcripts of the “detailed discussion and due deliberations” held during the meeting are not recorded in the minutes of the meeting.



Bharat Mukti Morcha calls for detail EIA report as well as Public Hearing on this and approvals granted to Pontoon Jetty construction by GCZMA as well as Captain of Ports must be revoked with immediate effect as it is nothing more than fraud.


Anticipating your quick action,


Thanking you,


Yours sincerely,
