Oh God! My God!
This God, which Krishna presented to Arjuna, had no form or shape, size or smell. It had no beginning, no end. It was Anaadi and Anant. It was simply indescribable. READ
Purushottam; but not Uttam Purush
Purushottam means the best among men. But according to his widow Kamala, Purushottam Kakodkar was anything but the best. For Goenkars of all hues and views, Kamala’s dismissal of her late husband in such derogatory terms comes as a shocker.READ

Land Titles - A messy affair in Goa
One column is for "occupants". Another is dedicated to "tenants" and the third is for "other rights". There is no column for "OWNERS". Poor fellows.READ
mr khalap you always manage to get strong reactions for no fault of yours. that is because of 3 reasons. 1st you being a gentleman people think you are a soft target and it is safe to criticise. 2nd is your views on konkani. (please note on language issue i dont agree with you but i know you will always be a marathiwadi and i will always be a konkanimogi). 3rd reason is that you are a nationalist. on this issue we are with you. i dont agree with harsh views of mr bhushan for his language. but i agree with his feelings. bharatmata ki jai and down with portuguese agents. now coming to the issue you have raised in your article if legal system is a cobweb then lawyers are the spiders who have made this cobweb to trap innocent cliants.This is my view what people have to say on this?
Hi Narayan,
These days new trend has come in force, at least in Goa that is call you’re liked political big wing as “Bhai”, “Bai”, “Bhau”, “Tai” and likewise.
Why is this change? What purpose it serves as far as interest of Goa is concerned?
Unless and until we get away from such unwanted all these political big wings will continue to take us on golden ride.
I think we must start calling all politicians by their names.
As for as Khalap, Gauda and Mapusa Urban Bank is concerned, I conclude you don’t know much about it! But what I wrote is a fact!! And equally don’t forget to find out why Khalap was made the law minister of India!! Also don’t forget that most of the time truth is bitter!!!
Uday – Margao
its quite unfortunate that great people of this great nation want to blindly believe in conspiracy theories. if u point finger at anyone, everyone want to believe that he is bad.
bad news travel fast. most of the breaking news are negative. why? because we want to believe in conspiracies and negative things.
there is no relation between deve gauda and khalap except that they worked together in cabinet ministry. Bhai has come out clean after long legal battle. he also brought Mapusa urban bank back on track and now under his leadership bank is prospering very fast.
in those time all the banks including nationalise banks had NPAs. govt of india helped nationalise banks but cooperative banks in india were left to its fate.
but irony is that why only some selected institutions were targeted by BJP govt? why they failed miserably in helping this institutions and why only leader like bhai were targeted?
false cases were put on bhai. for three long years systematically his name was being spoiled by political establishments. but still people have faith in bhai. they reelected him and bhai took over bank and without govts support within a week he brought bank in profit.
only bhai can do this magic
We have so many laws in place that we need not have more laws. Within the existing framework of laws, all cases can be tackled! But what is being practiced now days is “Justice delayed is justice denied.” Hence we feel the need of more laws!!
As for Mapusa Urban Bank case, I’m sure Khalap is not come out clean! Is it? If the case was to be taken to legal conclusion, I’m sure Devi Gauda’s son, who later became the Chief Minister of Karnataka, also had to be drangged in the court of law! Surprised? I think he never appeared in court in Khalaps case!!
Also find out how and why Khalap was made Law Minister of India.
angrez chale gaye aur inko chod gaye. Albert pinto ko gussa kyun ata hai. Albert pinto ko gussa isliye ata hai kyun ki uska portuguese grandpa uske grandma ko chodke chala gaya aur is bechare ko uske indian grandpa ke naam pe is garib mulk india me zindagi bitani pad rahi rahi hai. Isliye khalap jaise saare freedom fighters ab pinto ke personal enemy hai.
Mr. Pinto you sound unhappy that Portuguese were thrown out of Goa and we goans got liberated from their unjust rule.
its true that todays democracy and justice system is used to blame gud and uncorrupted people like Mr. Khalap. False cases were put on khalap to tarnish his image. i remember khalap saying that he is ready for this Agni Pariksha and that he will emerge like a phoenix bird.
True to his word he came out clean and also brought Mapusa urban bank in profit.
hats off to you bhai
Goans are not dumb Mr Khalap. That's the difference between democracy & dictatorship, During Portuguese era people got justice in time. Now its" justice delayed justice denied". Anyway, the giant cobweb helped you in the Mapusa Urban Bank (Goa Bank) case. Am I right ?
Hi Uday,
As far as knwing Bhai is concerned i knw him personally since his school days. he is a born leader. i was there when he was appointed by congress party and other leaders (and "not gauda") as union law minister.
i request you to kindly stop making assumption and false conclusions with misinterpreted information.
GAUDA HAS NO HAND IN MKING BHAI A UNION LAW MINISTER AS HE HIMSELF WAS APPOINTED BY OTHER COALITION PARTNERS. IT WAS ALL HIS LUCK THT HE BCAME A PRIME MINISTER. BEFORE THT THEY NEVER MET EACH OTHER
BHAI GOT ELECTED ON MERIT AND HE PERFORMED AS BEST UNION LAW MINISTER TILL DATE AND MADE ALL THE GOANS PROUD. TILL NOW HE IS THE ONLY GOAN CABINET MINISTER IN CENTER.
