These so called kannada Catholics protesting against the Konkani Catholics are as much as fanatic as the two old couple in that video who have a obnoxious view on Hinduism they keep ranting about spending 6 years in India and talking crap about Hinduism via caste system and Goddess kali forgetting that the converted christian in India also follow the same caste system and that caste word is not there mentioned in any of the Hindu scriptures and that it is a Portuguese word [casta] picked by the East India company who mistook Varna Shastra to the Portuguese caste system. Caste Discrimination is a social Issue like dowry is and like slavery was back then driven by White Christians in europe and had nothing to do with christianity similarly caste discrimination has nothing to do with Hinduism[Satana Dharma] ; the Hindu guy in the video aptly shut-ted the two old fanatic couples saying if they consider Hinduism is all about Caste system then we hindus can similarly tag Christianity with slavery, killing women in name of witch hunting and with crusaders.

Prayers and best wishes for success and prosperity in all endeavours

I think W.C.

CONGRATULATIONS............. It will be a memorable event for all the Kannadigas.All the best and wish you all every success. Jagannath Babu, Ex-Committe member, Abudhabi Karnataka Sangha.

Hi Deapak,really beautiful and excellent photography.thanks to all members participants of balaga for participation in the sports events inspite of heavy rain.really appriciate sports sprit of balaga members.

If these poor guys gave some peanuts to those kaki people then there is no arrest or case, money talks,even if a person is poor his organs removed and sold without his knowing there is no justice, people can kill human but not the animal that s true.

POOR GUYS THEY WERE DOING FOR DAILY BREAD BUTER.THAT S WHY WE CALL IN HINDI \\ AMIR ADMI PAIDA HOTHE HE JEENE KHELIYE AUR GARIB ADMI PAIDA HOTE HE MARNE KELIYE.....GOD SAVE THEM....

Unbelievable, but true. Why, why, why? We know the answer, but are unwilling to acknowledge. We are caught in a time warp. We harp on 5000-yr old great civilization. We berate the west for their decadence. But western decadence is of more of body and less of soul. We cover our bodies from head to to, may be. We have Victorian sexual attitudes, may be. We are deeply religious, may be. Yet, we are not as humane, kind and tolerant as we claim to be. The west has simply beaten us in this department. We need to accept depravity of our souls and set about doing something to change that. It is not a legal issue only.

Thanks Alphonse/Kiran/Mohd Hanif/Loyan for the encouragement. Yes it was a great effort by the Balaga Members. They put a great show that day. Even after heavy rains they members enjoyed and kept the spirit going. Yes Hanif it was Manju who was the MC for the day. He kept the members glued to the programs.

A bygone era saw girl children aged 10 yr on-wards,from our village(s) worked in big cities as domestic help. Those employed in super-rich and elite homes were possibly treated better. If they married and moved on, the noble employer bore part of the dowry and gave some gifts. Most, however, worked for newly rich with attitudes depicted in this story.
The nobility of employers, especially of Parsi and Kandani Raees Khoja/Bora Muslims of Bombay, is missing among the new rich and not so rich but hiring. Even many households in our village(s) have hired domestic help and call them as servants. I hope attitudes and treatment is more humane

Nice top see beautiful photo,s warm welcome to Rev Fr. Anil

Akhila Karnataka Catholic Christara Kannada Sangha has locked horns with and challenged Arch-Bishop Bernard Moras in the past. This protest is part of the campaign to either oust him or crop his wings. They are seeking to wrest control of rich resources of Catholic Church. And why not? Mangaloreans have given their sons and daughters to church in big numbers, who now control it in India. Birth rate and vocations among them is now declining. The church needs to diversify and plant itself among people of Kannada mother tongue. Church and is clergy should realize that their mission of spreading the gospel in Karnataka is best carried forward by them including their leaders like Raphael. Let Kannada Bishops be appointed in Shimoga, Bangalore etc, leaving coastal dioceses in the hands of Konkanni mother tongue priests. Saving Konkanni is not a task for catholic clergy to focus on. there are over 40 communities who speak the language to worry about that. Let the church focus on its agenda: spreading gospel, strengthening chirstian faith, and enabling voluntary conversions to its flock. Only Kannada speakers can and should do that.

The District incharge minister has done well in visiting the Taluk Office and alerting the officers and staff. Yet it is not enough. He should find time to trace oldest cases and for what reason they are pending. There are cases pending with Mr abijin the Tahsildar for over THREE months for signing the orders. This Tahsildar has been either afraid to take decisions, even when the Asst. commissioner had ordered or he xpects to pass time and thus harass the Public. and the staff. He is never in office at 10-00 a.m. Earlier the Tahsildas used to be found in the Cabin even at 9-00 a.m. and I say this my experience aince 1974. Great many old persons also were in office and watching the staff signing the muster and now it is electronic tsystem giving Thumb. I find total absence of sincerity on the part of the Officers including Mr abijin in disposing off the files. Yet he claims "No. One in karnataka state, for god only knows whow he got this. If the readers are interested I can give the case file numbers pending since April 2012 after this Tahsildar has taken chare (less election Period). I have every proof of the statements covered here.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing this article with me. It brought back a lot of good memories, I was born and lived in Kenya for many years before moving to Canada. My father was a tailor in Nairobi and December 3rd was a special day for him and other tailors. In fact, at one time, December 3rd was recognized as a holiday for tailors. Wherever Goans are, we celebrate St. Francis Xavier s feast with with great pomp and splendor. We did so in Mississauga, Canada too!
