It feels me with pride today, gives me immense pleasure and much happiness to bring to the view of Goans that our beloved Mother Tongue Konkani in Roman script has found its place in the Government sector of United Kingdom of Great Britain. Today I feel that I am on the top of the world as my mother tongue is used in the Borough Council of Swindon for official purposes.
Below are the scanned copies of the official letters to Goans sent by the Swindon Borough Council. Yes it is in KONKANI and ROMAN SCRIPT KONKANI. This proves that even the UK government approves and agrees that ONLY Konkani is the official language of Goa and the mother tongue of its sons and daughters. It feels me with great pride that and European government has used Konkani in Roman script to address Goans.
Back at home in Goa, the Goan government in collaboration with the Anti Goan elements like the BJP, MGP and RSS is trying to suppress the Roman Script Konkani and Konkani in general. They are lobbying for Marathi instead of Konkani in disguise. They are like wolves in sheep clothing.
But today the Swindon Borough Council has made us proud, Proud Goans as their mother tongue is introduced for official purposes pertaining the Goans. Long live United Kingdom of Great Britain, Long live the British Government and long live the people of Britain who have shown so much respect and love for our beloved KONKANI.
At the same time I would say Down with the Marathwadde, down with BJP, MGP and RSS and all those who try to harm our mother tongue Konkani. Shame on you all. Open you eyes and take the example of the Swindon Borough Council
Below are the scanned copies of one of the official letters to the Goans in Konkani sent by the Swindon Borough Council. Certain censors are done in for official purposes to maintain the secrecy of the person concerned.
I hope, pray and request the Her Majesty the Queen of England, Government of United Kingdom of Great Britain to promote our Konkani throughout UK addressing the Goan issues in Konkani and the Swindon Borough Council to carry on the good work of addressing the Goans in Konkani our Mother tongue and the official language of Goa.
You have made Goans proud of their mother tongue Konkani by introducing it in your esteemed department. Long Live Britain! Long Live Goa! & Long Live Konkani!
Below are the copies for the view of Goans - Your Comments are awaited at the bottom as usual
Wonderful Mr. Menino, you are a genius. You have brought out super truth. I can proudly beat my chest now and say I am a Goan and a Portuguese together. Our Konkani has reached the office of the Borough Council, the marathavodde should now die in shame. High time the statue of bandodcar is blown away with a dynamite. Long live Konkani, Viva Konkani, Viva Inglaterre
ReplyDeleteIts is a proud moment for us Goans that our language is officially recognized. Without bothering about the script being used we should develop its literature and preserve the diverse culture of konkani speaking people.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the prospects for konkani language in the catholic community in Goa is not very encouraging. Most educated families feel ashamed to speak to their kids in konkani. The youngster from city educated schools can barely speak it. Our konkani song, mandosa, dulpods are hardly heard today. I have experienced scorn and ridicule from educated people while speaking to my kids and friends in konkani. I wonder whether any where in the world are there people that ridicule their own language and culture like we Goan Catholics?
I feel like a Goan today and feel proud of my mother tongue Konkani. I can walk with my head held high. Viva Goa & Viva Konkani. I know inspite of all the positives there will be some people to talk otherwise. They will say that the Swindon Council wrote the letter in Konkani because these uneducated Goans in Swindon cannot understand English. Further they will comment about the contents of the letters. But the point to be noted above all is , if Konkani in Roman script is used in an European country than why it should be used in our homeland. Shame on you Goa government and the Congress Party.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the former BJP Margao MLA is in power we got no hope for Konkani to flourish and will be supressed as the Portuguese did; because he is a Marathawadi & Marathawada & Battawada. Wake up Goans ! Wake up Saxticars !!
It's not the government of Goa but the government of Congress prostitutes.

ReplyDeleteYou are very right, Any person standing for Congress, BJP, NCP, MGP and voting for them are traitors of Goa.
We can't blame the Invaders, we let them rape us.
Mog assundi
Today I feel so proud that our mother tongue has reached the UK govt offices. Unbelievable but so true. May our Konkani reach every end of the earth and be a Konkani world
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, it is high time Konkanni must be made mandatory in all government offices, hospitals, municipal councils, in court rooms, police stations must record statements in Konkanni or English, etc.
ReplyDeleteAll application forms must be read in Konkanni and English, just as in other states.
We have to thank the British Government for honoring our language Konkani in Roman script. Goan Government take note of this.
ReplyDeleteGoans who have joined non-Gian parties are traitors of Goa.
Why is there a problem in Goa to have English as parents chosen subject for their children? Konkani too should be in Roman script. The cause of mayhem in Goa are the Non-Goa parties joined by Goans. A separate Goa will be a better Goa.
ReplyDeleteWonderful research Niz Goenkar. This is a moment of victory and to walk with head High in the air. Konkani in UK govt department. The Marathwadde under Parrikar, RSS and Bi****ch Shashikala Kakodkar can go to hell now.
ReplyDeleteAn Independent Goa, will surely be the right answer for all our troubles.
ReplyDeleteIf Konkani has to gain international recognition we have to demand it is in Roman Script, those who oppose it are jealous who do not want Goans to prosper.
ReplyDeleteBravo to Swindon Council for introducing Konkani as one of its language.Shame on the Goan parties and traitors for not fighting tooth and nail to preserve Konkani in Roman script.
ReplyDeleteWe have 40 Donkeys in Goa, they are supporting each other. The main Donkey is the CM of Goa. He is a three colour man, BJP, MGP, and SHIV SENA. Please see the picture below. The Pig of Varca said he is with the parents. Where is he gone? Catch him if you can and take him straight to the "Dream Bridge" and dump him in the polluted river Sal. Let the Chor Goa Police do the search of him.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the Swindon Local Services for catering for a section of its Goan community.
ReplyDeleteThis is what CARING for Society means.
As for the Goa Government, it has no such progressive thinking or care.
The Goa Government, operated by 40 rougues, is most likely to cater to the needs of the Ghantis.
We Goans have to work and pay TAX. The Ghantis just have to sit and RELAX.
Who would be able to read Konkani in "Shri, Ga, Ne Sha! Eu Re Ramesha" in UK or anywhere else? Shame of this main PIG of Varca who claimed that he was the first one to speak Konkani in Parliament. He could not say thsat he did not know how to speak English.
ReplyDeleteMy hats off to Swindon Council for honoring Goa's primary language. Our pig head government MLAs bury yourselves in Ghanti sewers.
ReplyDeleteWhen the main and big Pig of Varca didn't knew how to talk English, Konkani was his only spoken language, sorry...not written one. Now with the tricks he learnt English, he became the biggest Chor since he could read what is in the PWD tender. What he could not understand is read by his piglet, the Biglips of Varca. Money collection is done by several agents including his brother Candid Kennedy and final accounts are taken by the Piglet Leitao.
ReplyDeleteWow Can we just Slap this on the Faces of our Goa Government, MLA's and all the Pigs in the Pigsty!
ReplyDeleteIf I were in Goa now, I would have stick the photocopies of the officials letters to Swindon Goans on our 40 MLA's (prostitutes) faces. When the PIG OF VARCA comes to swindon, please read the officials letter to the BONDO. Hope the BONDO donot take credit for him when he visits Swindon with the toad of Leicester , Keith Vaz.
ReplyDeleteThe pig of Varca is a brainless Pig, But has very cunning advisers who make him jump in at the last moment to take credit while others have done all the leg work.
ReplyDeleteThanks to NIZ Goenkar for bringing it to our notice, the Goan press will do no such thing. Goans in Goa need to now about such things.
We have to thank Sir Menino, he has helped start a movement for us 'Goans in exile'.....Some day we will be able to reclaim our beloved Goa from being hijacked by power-hungry thieves, donkeys and looters. Just like the Egyptian Google exec from the US was able to bring down a corrupt government, we too must make it our mission to fight to take our homeland back. Our beloved Goa beacons us, we must Save her, and so doing we can save ourselves! Thank you Sir Menino for all that you do. I thank all who are fighting to save us, as a people. We must make our ancestors proud!
ReplyDeleteDear Sir, you are really a genius. Digging out such facts and getting them before the public is a head breaking job. May God bless you always and give you more courage and knowledge to lead the Goans to their ultimate Goal. I am filled with so much pride here in Goa to see that even the UK govt is using Konkani that I can walk with my head high and brag about our mothertongue
ReplyDeleteHi D Justin,
ReplyDeleteI hope the Swindon Goans will not invite or entertain Churchill ever.
As far as Keith Vaz is concerned,I believe this invitation to Churchill to visit London was done as a one-off under Inter-parliamentary goodwill exchanges.
I doubt Keith Vaz views Churchill as and ebodiment of a true Goan or a hero of Goan Politics.
During his last visit, Churchill was accompanied by Big Lips Valanka.Valanka wanted to have a photo with the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
This Photo is now put to maximum use in promoting her political ambitions.By using this photo , they seem to over-estimate them selves, and in turn,under estimate us Goans.
For all I know, Gordon Brown couldn`t give a damn for Valanka and her Political ambtions.
I am quite sure Gordon Brown views Goa as being ruled by Tin-Pot Dictators.
Millions of people daily are seen ,or liked to be photographed with famous people,Film / Pop Stars.
This does not make them any special than you or me.
Given an opportunity, I am sure Churchill and Big Lips Valanka would have also liked to be seen with Osama Bin Laden.
Unfortunately this opportunity no longer exists.However they could pop over to Libya for a Photo shoot with Col. Gadaffi.
Just like Gadaffi kills his own people, the Alemaos kill Goans with their loot &corrupt practices.Birds of the same feather, I say.
why not scan each others photos and frame them in Margao Garden or in the collectors office from entrance to the toilets by the way you can edit mine as well.
