Roots can be established by birth, by ancestry or by domicile. Migration into Goa is not sufficient to acquire roots if the person does not have affinity to the Goan culture, language and tradition. On the other hand a person can be born and resident outside our State and acquire roots by subscribing to the […]

CJI RAMANA HAS BEEN REMARKABLE
As our Chief Justice of India NV Ramana retires on 26th of this month, the Nation remains forever indebted to him for all his arduous efforts in the attempt to regain and restore the much needed independence of the Judiciary. His three immediate predecessors having taken the Judiciary to a point of disdain by compromising […]
WILL BETTER SENSE EVER PREVAIL?
It is outrageous that the Goa Government is now contemplating setting up a Coconut Corporation and a Mango one too. While there are fully fledged departments to undertake their respective tasks, over the years parallel pointless Corporations have been created solely to rehabilitate politicians and allow them to merrily enjoy free perks and privileges at […]
PRAMOD SAWANT SHOULD STOP PUTTING HIS FOOT IN HIS MOUTH 
Pramod Sawant should realize that every word he utters he does so as the Chief Minister of Goa. He needs to be prudent, factual and a statesman in all that he says and does. Whether the British or Portuguese looted Goa only history will speak for itself. It is very inappropriate for Pramod Sawant to […]
OUR NATIONAL FLAG MUST BE RESPECTED NOT MIS-USED FOR CHEAP POLITRICKS
From the day of our birth all through our life on every single day, we must give the utmost respect to our very solemn Indian National Flag which means a lot to us all. The reckless politically motivated tamasha that we have seen over the last few days was totally out of place and sickening […]
WILL SILLY SOULS TAKE CM’S ADVICE TO REPLACE BAR WITH LIBRARY?

IS OUR INDIA TRULY INDEPENDENT?
IS OUR INDIA TRULY INDEPENDENT? Today on 15th August we are observing 75 years of India’s Independence. But truly there is nothing to celebrate or cheer about. There is a lot to ponder and worry about while our nation is ebbing away from Democracy. We are far from being truly free, and we may never […]
OUR RIBANDAR’S ELVIS PRESLEY MOVES ON TO A BETTER WORLD
A pall of gloom has descended over Ribandar, with the sudden passing away of our dear brother and outstanding young musician Elvis De Souza. He was so swiftly and abruptly snatched away from our midst after being struck with a massive heart attack on 12th August late night. Ribandar has so sadly lost a very […]
BIHAR SHOWS THE WAY
Kudos to Bihar for having shown Goa, India’s most literate State on how to hold a very modest and solemn swearing in ceremony. The 20 minute very simple swearing in ceremony of Nitish Kumar now in his new avatar after having politically divorced the BJP, took the oath along with RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav which must […]
REMEMBERING GOA’S FIRST CM DAYANAND BANDODKAR
Today we observe the death anniversary of Goa’s first Chief Minister Dayanand Bandodkar. He assumed office on 20th December 1963 and continued as Chief Minister till his sudden death on 12th August 1973. His funeral procession from Althinho to Miramar was a sea of humanity. Affectionately referred to by all as ‘Bhausaheb’ he was undoubtedly the best Chief Minister […]
