RECENT ITEMS OF PARTICULAR
INTEREST ON GOANET. BY CORNEL DACOSTA
Do read Basilio Magno's fascinating account of UK's Konkani
Tiatr in Germany. The tiatr SUKH written by Luis D'Souza
was directed by Bella Fernandes, the first Goan woman to
direct a Konkani tiatr in London and where Konkani plays
are produced under the auspices of the Goan Cultural Society,
presided by Gregg Carvalho. For a further account of Tiatro
and Tiatrists, please also note A. Veronica Fernandes' detailed
historical account on Goanet.
Interesting historical Goan experiences of events during
World War 2 have been featured recently on Goanet. They
indicate how sometimes a simple inquiry can lead to many
fascinating details and stories set in many faraway places.
Once again Goan Voice (UK) readers are encouraged to make
their contributions in this and other fields on Goanet.
Are dynastic political developments in democracies like
India and the USA advantageous towards promoting political
stability? An absorbing discussion on this, and the possibility
of dynastic developments in Goa, have provided serious as
well as entertaining commentary recently.
Goanet Cybermatrimonials are a regular feature on Goanet.
However, some recent feedback has expressed a little scepticism
about whether the adverts are real or sometimes imaginary
because of some non response to inquiries. Would GV (UK)
readers think it is possible that the adverts have been
outstandingly successful and individuals have been spoken
for very quickly after the adverts? If so, please let Goanet
know. But even if this were so, we surely would agree that,
all replies to inquiries would be appreciated and would
help further to support this very worthwhile volunteer venture
on Goanet.
Finally, with reference to Claude Alvares we are told of
his preface to a book in 2000 -- Dharampal: Indian Science
and Technology in the 18th Century. In many ways, the material
from the book seems really original in thought. Among many
things, it tells us about " how Britain went pulverising
the Indian economy" because in many respects it was
so far ahead of Britain at the time and also how and why
the decision was taken by Britain not to people India with
British and European settlers compared to other parts of
the British Empire. This is indeed a long and weight article
about the book, full of wonderful nuggets of information
well worth reading for so many wonderful insights.
