MôntiFest:FeastofTheNativity ofBlessedVirginMary
The Cultural Identity of Konknni
On 8th September, Catholics and Orthodox Churches celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary all over the world. In Goa, in the sixteenth century this feast was called Mônti Fest. Now unfortunately, this name is forgotten in Goa, and it is merely called the Feast of the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary. In Sindhudurg Diocese it is now known as Feast of theOurLadyof Vailankanni. However, today Mônti Fest is the most popular and important cultural and family feast among the Konknni Catholics of Karnataka.

The Kerala government education scheme for the ST students is a “freebie” because the money came from state treasury. The public taxpayers paid for it without any “tangible” returns on the investment. The right wing intellectuals, opinion-makers, their followers and the politicians funded by elitist corporate houses would like to put an end to this “revdis culture” as, unfortunately, our eloquent PM Narendra Modi espoused recently. If you have not followed this debate on freebies, “revdis” is a sweet dish exchanged among neighbors and friends

The “merit scholarship” was an outright grant to ranking students. The merit cum loan scholarships were awarded to eligible meritorious students as a “loan to be repaid at a future date”. The beneficiary students defaulted and the State “wrote of the loans through public waivers.” Onceagain,themessage is clear: meritorious students who wanted a college education were not left to fend for themselves. They received what ourPM andhis acolytes so distastefully and incorrectly describe as freebies under then prevailing “revdis culture” which he exhorts the citizens to “end by voting out such politicalparties”.
