A very clear and well said observation and presentation of Philip Saab as usual. It’s the reflection of peace loving and anti communal masses alike. Unfortunately this will not satisfy the vested interest minded people.
There is no doubt at all that the coming election will be crucial to the democratic existence of this great country. Presently we are witnessing the atrocities in Israel-Palestine war in Gaza and the helpless world bodies..
Let us hope and pray for our democracy and peaceful living of the present and future generations

Philip Saab’s absence from his usual evaluation cum writing definitely did a gap in his readers.
Now the gap has filled through extensive evaluating across the events.
Hope will continue writing with your usual extensive in depth analysis. Now I am in Doha with family to join with son and daughters

Once Nehru said we would have recognised Israel long ago, because Israel is a fact. We refrained because of our desire not to offend the sentiments of our friends in the Arab countries.Unlike other politician Mr Nehru was a practical politician.His timely decision on several issues like foreign policy,economic policy,social reformation,multi party democracy,non alignment movement etc are really appreciable.His decision to not support and support the israel was poorly based on the political set up at that time and proved that it was successful.

Against a letter from Einstein the government of Australia approved the land investigation for Jewish settlement inside the Australian.The impressive plan was that 7 million acres were to be purchased and an initial contingent of 500 workers would build basic infrastructure to support some 75,000 Jewish refugees, who would follow Commonwealth laws but have full cultural autonomy and develop the region’s pastoral and agricultural industries.Australians’ fear of Asians,outweighed their wariness of Jews, and support for the proposal was further buttressed by reports of Nazi brutality. Yet there were concerns the new settlers would move from the Kimberley, attracted by the big cities. 28 October 1943, prime minister John Curtin delivered the verdict. “The Government is unable to see its way to depart from long-established policy in regard to alien settlement in Australia,” Curtin explained, “and therefore cannot entertain the proposal for a group settlement of the exclusive type contemplated by the Freeland League.” After four years of championing the cause, Isaac Steinberg left the country in 1943, taking with him the dreams of an Australian Jewish homeland.

The sadness and despair of being away from their homeland haunted every Jews throughout the history, whether it’s in Egypt or Babylon or Europe or the in the luxury of New York. As the psalmist sung If I forget thee O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill, May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy. Unlike the first two return from the Egyptian and Babylonian exile the third exile was not from a single country, it was from the whole world mainly from non-English speaking Russian belt and eastern Europe where the anti-Semitism were at it peak. It was funded by Rothschild and other rich European business giants. Still the North American Jews are not ready to return to their homeland by sacrificing their present socio economic status. The human trafficking from the Ethiopia and other African jews led by the state sponsorship are still active.I wish a peaceful two state solution in this region where both jews and Arabs are living together in their brotherly love, affection and prosperity as at the end of the day both of them are the descendants of Abraham

I do not understand the concept of auctioning food items, alcohol, and livestock in front of the church. In Moodubelle church these items are auctioned on the doorsteps of the Church in the guise of a mission Sunday collection. How anyone can make church a marketplace and thus get a bad name for the church? As we all know church is a sacred and holy place, there are enough instances in the Bible to keep the house of the Lord sacred and pure. In Moodubelle we have a huge parish hall, school buildings, and playgrounds available, so why auction anything on the church doorsteps? I am sure this kind of contribution is not even liked by the Almighty God also

My sincere Thanks to Mandd Sobhann President and the entire Team and the entire Carvalho Household (Carval Garana), especially to Eric’bab and Rev. Dr. Pratap Naik S.J. for honoring me with the 19TH KALAKAR PURASKAR. I am always grateful to you all.
I Thank The Almighty for having given me this talent to work for his kingdom here on earth. I am grateful to my Parents, my Wife Sons, my Brothers Sisters and the entire D’SOUZA family for encouraging me and supporting me right from my childhood days. I thank Valencia choir master, (Late) Mr. Marian Pinto and the all senior choir members for encouraging me in my musical journey in Valencia. I am thankful to my Mentor (Late) Rev. Fr. Walter Albuquerque S.J., without whom I would not have received this Kalakar Puraskar. Also I thank all my past

Saddened by the pathetic state of Belle church in singing as well as other extracurricular activities today.  Belle church is considered one of the richest parishes in the entire diocese and hence there is no scarcity of resources.  We are not good at singing, not in sports, not in acting skills, not in leadership, not in literature, not in social service but good at auctioning pork and biriyani for the whole month.  A church with 600 plus families has the smallest weakest ICYM unit in the entire diocese.  Wake up so called leaders, more than the collection of money it is important to train our kids so that it will help in leadership and career success.  I hope someone will act before its too late

Valerian Alva, Kattingeri
01/11/2023 17:15:52

Part 2

Why our children are not motivated?  Moodubelle priests and people have all the time to make biriyani, pork, idli, and auction it for 4 weeks but no time for such events.  Only singing in choir won t help, if one needs to excel in singing then the person has to get enough training and participate in the competitions.  There is no scarcity of resources but sadly there is no interest, motivation accountability. Someone at the church leadership level should take responsibility for this sad status, is there anyone who takes responsibility leadership, I doubt it.

Congratulations to ICYM Pangala and Pangala church for organizing such a mega event.  Congratulations to all the winners Meanwhile saddened to see the state of Moodubelle church.  I was able to watch the live event online and could see only a couple of kids participated in the event.  In the above 11 years and above 15 years category, I could not see anyone even participating.  Not everyone will win, but first of all one needs to participate. Moodubelle is a rich parish with all resources. Moodubelle Parish used to win a lot of prizes including championships, and individual medals until a few years back.  If anyone remembers the time of Fr. Alexander Lobo, Fr. Herold Menezes the church office portico was full of medals and trophies.  But today we are in a sad and pathetic status.

A wonderful article, heavy with content so also rare vintage picture of Nehru era, tables and facts.
Einstein s words to Guardian in 1929 is highly inspiring. Article further goes on to prove Where there will, there is away with reference to transformation of barren desert into fertile land. It was a good piece of information to me and guess for many others -Albert Einstein s batting with Nehru for Zionists country, at the homeland in the soil of their forefathers, an appeal for justice and equity. However heartening to note that Zionists prosperity benefited both sides. Had there been harmony among both, this region would have been most thriving in the world. Unfortunately resources, sweat and blood going to drain sadly into bottomless pit of evil enmity.

Real time article. It helps us understand current scenario and background with unbiased facts and figures. Looking at Israeli military assistance to India over the decades, it is natural India rightly condemned unprovoked attack on its friend. Sadly Hamas culminated carnage on attackers territory, innocent civilian s were at the receiving end.
General understanding is for the sake of peace and growth co-existence is the best policy. Now conflict and hatred bigots the same in return mutually. Hope peace prevails in this ME region. Eagerly waiting to read related articled just published. Thank you Philip for compiling such an informative collections and pictures / tables.

Thank you Philip Saab for your detailed report on Palastine-Israel issues which is very relevant in the present situation.
Whatever may be the background, killing the innocent men, women and children are not at all justifiable. It’s brutally against the human civilisation and culture.
World countries spending billions to explore life in other planets whereas expending trillions to destroy human beings.
Very unfortunate and uncivilised attitude.
Let us pray for the suppressed and oppressed people

The historical relationship between the Malabar Coast and Jews dates back to ancient times, well before the birth of Jesus. Jewish communities settled along the western coast of India, coexisted with the local population for centuries.Baghdadi Jews did play a role in the economic development of Bombay.The rise of Zionism as a political movement in the late 19th centuries did indeed impact diplomatic relations and the global political landscape. India has historically maintained a pragmatic foreign policy that aligns with its national interests and changing global economic dynamics. After liberalization in 1992, India pursued a more open and market-oriented economic policy. In parallel, India also recognized the importance of developing diplomatic relations with various countries, including Israel, which had become a significant player in the global economy and technology sector. India s foreign policy decisions are typically influenced by its national interests, security concerns, and public sentiment. The country s evolving relationship with Israel is a reflection of these considerations, as well as its broader foreign policy goals

I believe that India’s stand on the issue is firm and clear. Never be soft when it comes to terrorism. Say NO to terrorism, and while saying so do it firmly and clearly.
India was always on receiving end. It changed just recently only.
Remember 26/11..
You and me were just lucky not to be there at VT station on that day. Else we both wouldn’t be here to write and read this article.
Criticism on India’s stand on the issue is just political, to win few votes. It is disappointing….

Nice one.
Even Egypt has now ties with Israel.

India’s position with Palestinian, during any regime at centre, was hypothetical. It enormously shed sympathies.

India’s relations with Israel, like the rest of the world except very few, was materialistic.

No doubt article is heavy in content and desires a slow phase of reading in order to understand sequences. Raghuram Rajan (RR) is a though professional with Indepth knowledge on both Macro (like MMS) and Microeconomics. His prior opinion on demonetization is a great example. On the other hand Subbu is vocal, nothing to learn from his practical application may be no opportunity.
Due diligence is too sharp on common man and fairly easy on rich and famous due to their support during elections. Thats the root cause of big time NPA s. Regulating man s arms on constant twist by high power, thats a big drawback in the system. And they get drifted in life and some into other areas. NPA is felt after few years and it s a mountain in any angle, at times may cause collapse of banks. Common taxpayer has to bear the brunt by paying tax on everything including scooty riders on bad roads after paying through the nose.
First term of Modi- NPA jumping from 2 to 11 lakh crore sums it all and generally lesser known (godhi M?).
India is still a vibrant economy due to size of population, honest and humble citizens, grain and food production, exports, industrial output. But for how long??

Raghuram Rajan s contribution to Indian economics, policies and currency is the best thing that happened in India history. Just like a car mechanic who finds previous mechanic was no good and same applies to current regime. I would say coastal belt is a loser in terms of generations old carefully maintained profit making banks are merged with bigger names with higher liability...probably exception of Canara Bank. I would say every bank is same, but the person whom you deal with in that institution would make it a better or bitter entity. I would strongly recommend educated financial rulers handling and framing banking scenario which is inseparable part of economy. Thanks for the article that is loaded with heavy content.

The slavery was officially abolished just 150 years ago. Yet it will be hypocritical if we say that slavery has been eradicated from the human society. Knowingly or unknowingly we still practice and enjoy slavery. There are Human rights violations in many forms around us.
