UK man to face extradition over Broome
bashing in 2002
13 Apr: The Sunday Times (Perth, Australia). Philip Johnson
is facing extradition to Perth to answer charges over the
2002 brutal bashing of Paul de Souza
in Broome. He appeared in a London court on Monday following

30, had his originally criminal injuries compensation award
increased from $23,853.30 to $40,498.30. Mr de Souza told
Perth District Court he had developed depression and post-traumatic
stress disorder after the attack and could no longer work
in pubs.

Dalip Tahil supports Keith Vaz campaign
17 Apr. The Telegraph (Calcutta). Excerpts: Dalip Tahil today
became the first Bollywood actor to take part directly in
a British general election when he campaigned on behalf of
the sitting Labour MP, Keith Vaz…
If Vaz records another thumping majority on May 5, Blair may

| Tony Fernandes: Inside Asia: Flying

19 Apr. The Edge Financial Daily
(Malaysia). In just under four years, Tony
Fernandes has changed the face of the airline
industry with his low-cost carrier AirAsia. Next up
— China and possibly, India…Today, "Tony",
as AirAsia staffers call their CEO, is a poster boy
for entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia. His story is
the stuff of legend. |
A British-trained accountant
and former Warner Music executive, Fernandes discovered
the low-cost model almost by accident on a trip to London…For
now, AirAsia doesn't have a comprehensive India strategy
…blame it on the tyranny of distance…AirAsia,
he says, is eyeing flights to Chennai and Kochin as
well as other southern Indian cities. For the full text,

| Kenya: Pio Gama Pinto: Political
assassination? |
 |
13 Mar. L’Intelligent.com.
The most mysterious politician of Nairobi, Pio
Gama Pinto was probably assassinated. Originating
in Goa he represented Kenya in international competitions
and then devoted himself to politics. He was the only
Indian to share with the Africans all the consequences
of repression. He never hid his preferences for Marxism.
Was he the victim of a common crime or political assassination?
If the latter is one day proved, there could be serious
repercussions within the party. Full text, in French

Virgin Holidays eyes growth in India

than double business to India. Denise Hodge, head of product

Goa."

Tourists, scuba divers avoid Goa's
oil-polluted coast
16 Apr. CDNN (New Zealand). Tourists and scuba divers are
avoiding Goa, a state in India famous for beautiful beaches
and coral reefs that have been polluted by an oil spill. A
recent collision between two big ships off the coast of Goa
led to an oil spill that has polluted tourist beaches throughout
the state. According to local tourism officials, at least
110,000 liters of fuel oil spilled into the sea threatening
marine wildlife, coral reefs, public health and Goa's tourism
industry. http://www.cdnn.info/news/eco/e050416.html
| The Magic of Goa…now even
supermodels head for this Indian state. |
 |
17 Apr. The Sunday Telegraph. Excerpts:
This was the world's first, and most singular, tourist
melting pot, in the days before the phrase became a
cliche. Hippies in the 1960s, package holidaymakers
in the `80s; clubbers in the 1990s and now a new wave
of affluent Indian tourists - Goa has absorbed them
all…At a resort in Benaulim I watched as two leggy
women in Dior sunglasses, heels and what seemed to be
negligees made their way skittishly across the sand.
|
When I observed to
my Scandinavian neighbour that they looked like prostitutes,
he gave a harsh laugh. ``They are prostitutes. They
came with him.'' He pointed out a large man with a cigar
and a mobile phone, stretched on a sunlounger…Goa
has a formidable history of licentious behaviour. Feature

Goa to Goa
20 Apr. FemaleFirst (UK). Excerpts: If one word could be said
to encapsulate the essence of Goa , it would have to be the
Portuguese sossegarde, meaning "carefree". In spite
of the increasing chaos of its capital, beach resorts and
market towns, Goa has retained the laid-back feel that has
traditionally set it apart from the rest of the country. While
the vast majority of visitors to Goa never encounter any trouble
, tourism-related crime is definitely more prevalent than
in other parts of the country. Theft is the most common problem.

12 Apr. Business Line. Will the Salim Ali Bird sanctuary on

a proposal of the Karnataka government to build dams across

Reports are that the Goa government is trying to make a strong

The word 'farang' has a disreputable
history: Readers Letters
16 Apr. The Nation (Thailand). The word "farang"
is from the word "ferengie". The Portuguese occupied
the island of Goa in the early 1500's, so that they could
collect taxes from the spice traders and pilgrims going to
Mecca. They were not too kind to the population, burning temples
and telling the people they needed no gods. The Portuguese
men married Goan women; the offspring of these marriages were
called "ferengie". After the Portuguese left Goa,
the ferengie were treated worse then the untouchables in India
and Goa; they could not work and were not allowed to settle
anywhere. The word means "cruel, barbaric white man".
Not a very nice word to be throwing around, ask any Indian.
