Noteworthycontributions :

Archbishop Emeritus Ignatius Paul Pinto of Bangalore, a renowned liturgistwhofoundamiddlepathto solve the language controversy in thearchdiocese,diedFebruary8.He

was 98. Archbishop Pinto succeeded Archbishop Alphonse Mathias to head the Bangalore archdiocese at a time when it faced a dispute over the language of liturgy. The language issue had plagued the archdiocese for more than three decades. Native Kannada-speaking people wanted their language to be prominent in liturgy, but migrants from neighboring Tamil Nadu state favored Tamil. Confrontations had often turned violent, especially during the Christmas and Easter seasons.

Church statistics showed only 20 percent of the Catholics in Bangalore are natives who speak Kannada, the official language of Karnataka state. Nearly 70 percent of the Catholics are Tamils, and the rest migrants from other states. Kannadapeopleallegedthat ever since Bangalore became a diocesein1940 andanarchdiocese in1953,allitsbishopshavebeen

“outsiders.”

Father Faustine Lobo, the spokesperson of the Catholic Church in Karnataka, said Archbishop Pinto, a strict liturgist, faced the language controversy courageously by following “a middle path” along with silence. FatherLoboisreportedtohavetold the Media that Archbishop Pinto was a well-disciplined, strict, and meticulous person who had never compromised on liturgical

(Continuedfrom last week)

The 19th century was featured by a stagnant economy in Portugal and itscolonies.Thecenturystartedwith theBritishoccupationofGoawhich started in 1799 and extended to 1815.(Seelaterforanimpactofthe occupation). Goa witnessed the increase in out-migration and growth in the number of GEM diaspora in Iberian and British colonies. In the Estado da India Portuguesa (Provincia Ultramarina),

the balance of political power between the ruler and various sectors of the ruled, together with theoutsideremittancesfloatingthe colonial economy created a ‘benign bonvivant’whichsurvived,tillitwas toppled over a century later by the shadowofalargerneighbor. Malyn Newitt’s description in his history

bookhasbeentermedbyaLusitano

as an outline of the “contrast between creative forces in Portugal’s scattered overseas

empire vs. stagnation and decadence in continental Portugal” and its royal palaces. These geopoliticsandeconomicswerethe raison d’être that Ribeiro missed. During the 20th century, the GEM diaspora blossomed both internally withinIndia,and externallyinAfrica andMideastbothintheLusosphere and Anglosphere. On October 5, 1910 there was a revolution in Lisbon, where the monarchy was finallyreplacedbythefirstrepublic. The world changed with two World Wars, and in 1947 Britain saw the start of the unwinding of its Era of Colonialism. This was the turning point, which Lisbon’s junta did not see, yet time and history marches on! The beginning of the end of Portuguese colonialism was not far behind. Goa was the first European colonyinAsiaanditsindependence from Portugal on December 19th, 1961, would be the forerunner of the end of Lusitania’s colonial rule worldwide. India’s independence from the Raj; and Goa from

Lusitania’s grip heralded the beginning of the end of the London’s and Lisbon’s colonial rule in other parts of the world. These events are vividly described by Newitt as, “A great iceberg that had brokenupintofragments,thateach sailed its own way.” Since then, elections results and societal changes suggest a transformation which involved elimination of both theHindu/Brahmindominationand the Catholic colonial influence in post-colonial Goa; and resulted in the emergence of a mercantile bourgeoisie (both Hindu and Christian & Goan and non-Goan) rootedinmyriadaspectsoftourism and commerce. WhilePortugal has moved on with the Carnation Revolution in 1974 and joined the EU, a few in Goa likely have still not woken up to or accepted the changes in 1961 or 1974. Six decades later, many Goan intelligentsias are still stuck on the colonial demographic landscape,

while some politicians have moved withtimes.

InSummary:

The external pressures and internal decayinPortugal-atthepalaceand in the economy, together with the financialboonandtheexpansionof the native mindset contributed to what Ribeiro observed in 1956: “Goa was the least Portuguese in its cultural expression among all African and South American colonies.” GEMs who received their formaleducationinEnglishrealized thatlucrativepresentandfuturejob markets would be located in the English-speaking world. The Anglosphere was replacing the LusosphereinOT.Truthbetold,the Lusitanos themselves probably lost faith in their ruling junta and its ability to foster prosperity. For example, in 1942, the colonial government’s response was to make British India’s rupee illegal tender in Goa. Ironically, that currency had supplemented the

Goan colonial rupee, which was inshort-supply, and remittances of Indian rupees had eased the economicsofatradedeficit. Evidence that a community can have multiple religions yet share a similar culture is seen in several IndianstateslikePunjabandKerala, as well as in Europe, the Americas, and Australia. Andalucía is a welldefined geographical region with eight provinces in southern Spain. The area has a 700-year history of Moorish North African colonialism and the influx of Jewish migrants, who subjugated the Catholic peasants. This well-studied community of Andalucía has succeeded in fostering unity in the midst of diversity. Despite colonialism, conversions, and the inquisition, Andalusia is the most popular tourist destination in SouthernIberiapartlybecauseofits conflict-filled history. Theresidents have cherished and promoted architectural, dietary, cultural, and religious diversity along with their

uniquemusic,attire,anddance. The co-existence of three religions within one community in Southern Portugal and Spain is not merely external; their footprints are also reflected in gene studies indicating the joint ancestry of a significant segmentofthepopulation.

It is very likely that future generationsofGEMsofallfaithswill showthesameexemplarypatternof behavior in India and among the diaspora, notwithstanding what current pundits tell us, some who are clearly trying to sow divisions. Today’s Goans in India and abroad wouldbewelladvisedtoignorethe negative, destructive, and distorted anecdotal stories about the colonizers. The secret of success is for the native and diaspora communities to get together, ignore these pundits, and build on each other’s skills and centuries-old traditions as a way to strengthen pathwaysforthedecadesahead.

We would like the readers to visualize being part of the crowd at

the royal palace in Lisbon when Vasco da Gama returned to the capitalaftersuccessfullycompleting his“Voyage of Exploration”toIndia. Amidst all the euphoria, the court jester surely had a difficult time gettingtheattentionofthekingand royal guests, who keenly heeded every word of da Gama’s stories of the perils he faced as well as the heroism of his crew. The jester mighthavesuggestedthattheking display a banner with the following announcement: “Hear Ye! Hear Ye! People of Asia! Wanted: a bride, whosefamilyownslandloadedwith Spice Trees. Send details on Spice Trees!” Such a proclamation would surely elicit loud laughter from the courtiers.

The king received ship loads of spicesafterthefirstvoyagetoIndia returnedtoPortugal;aswellaswith eachsubsequentannualCarreirada Índia convoy comprising 20 to 25 ships.Forthenext50years,theking conveniently forgot about the “Saving Souls” item included in his

initialgoalsforexploration.Instead, the approximately 50 feitorias Portugal established along the coast of the Indian Ocean became what was described as a “pearl necklace.” Portugal, its king, and the colonies were at the peak of their socio-economic glory for two centuries. But European colonization of Asia and Africa ended Iberian monopoly of the spice trade to Europe. Even after Lisbon’s decline in the 18th century, the residents in the Overseas Territories(OT)continuedtoreceive a Renaissance-type education in their own villages – the first of its kind in Asia. In addition, the colonized developed an international perspective to life and haddoorsofopportunitiesopened, allowing them to become a worldwidediasporainLusitaniaand its colonies as well as in Englishspeaking colonies. Over time, the GEM diaspora was firmly established all across the globe. As thesayinggoes,“Beforeanupsurge

thereisalwaysadepression”andso it was for the GEMs. Prominent members of the Indian diaspora have succeeded in becoming Prime Ministers in Portugal, Ireland, and more recently, the UK. The GEMs (Goans, East-Indians and Mangaloreans)andAsianssmiledall thewaytothebankasaresultofthe sale of their spices, other commodities, and products, as well as their exceptional services and skills,nowappreciatedworldwide. We hope this essay provides the readerswithavitalframeworkofthe Goan diaspora’s historical journey. As Shashi Tharoor wisely stated, “If you do not know where you have been, how do you know where you seek to go? History belongs in the past, but understanding it is the duty of the present.”

Since my early school days, I have loved solving jigsaw puzzles, building Lego blocks, creating several types of arts and crafts, and drawing. All these activities helped me to explore the creative side of my personality and to develop the essential skills. I soon realized that creativity was much more than a mere form of entertainment. The crochet craze started in 2020, when we were all stuck at home due to COVID-19. I used to watch my mother doitand ask ifI couldtry it once. It seemed magical how she could transform a ball of yarn into something beautiful and useful. I

I found the process of creating something with my own hands mesmerizing. Indeed, it was difficult in the beginning. Despite my initial frustrations, I was determined to learn. I read up on the basics of crochet, watched tutorials online, andpracticedalotuntilIgotahold ofthetechnique.

Eventually,Icouldcreateabeautiful piece that I was proud of. My first

projectwascoasters,whichIgaveto my mom. I took this as a starting point for future projects and began to experiment with more complex pieces, crocheting small stuffed animals, birds, and Christmas decorations.WhenIgotachanceto visitExpo2020inNovember2021,I was so fascinated by Opti, Alif, and

Terra the three mascots, that I forced my mom to get me the soft toy. Because it was expensive, my mother only bought me Opti and said we could get the other two later.However,Iwasadamantabout getting the other two as well. I was so inspired by these colorful characters that I decided to replicate their designs using my crochet skills. I tried creating my own pattern by looking at the images. My parents were surprised and amazed when I completed the project. It looked very much like Opti, Alif, and Terra soft toys. This wassomethingIhadcreatedonmy own, without anyone’s help. Now I didn’t wantthem tobuyitbecauseI could do it myself. Having confidence that I could manage crochet patterns on my own and wantingtoshareandpromoteExpo 2020 robot mascots done with crochet stitches, I thought of creating a YouTube channel under the guidance of my parents. Launched in February 2022, it is named ABR Creations, and here is my channel link: https://youtube.com/channel/UCD 2Qhb3TutZtlI_R-iBLJmA.
