Train to Tulunadu...Giant's Stride.

- Dr. Rudolf Joyer Noronha.

Sage Baghiratha, brought river Ganga up from the heavens to the earth to make water abundantly

available to the people, says Indian Mythology . For this, he had to travel to the Himalayas first. If the

83 Veez Konkani

Ministry where the Railway budgets are plotted can be called as 'Heavens', and Bihar, where the bargaining power is more intense be called the Himalayas, our own Son of the soil Shri George Fernades deserves to be compared to 'Baghiratha'.

He has indeed emulated the ancient sage by making Konkan Railway an abundant source of Trains that cross the Tulu speaking lands of the formerly undivided South Canara region.

Regards to Railways their newer trains, routes and upgraded facilities, we Tuluvas were often left to feel like the Boy in the class who always comes last in every exam. 70 Years after Independence too people from Bidar, Bellary, Belagavi, Davangere, Dharwad, Kolar, Shimoga, Chikmagalur are not yet connected to the West Coast Towns through Railway network. Even the state Capital of Bangalore, and Mysore, Mandya, Hassan was accessible sparingly to the Tuluvas on this mode of transport.

Waterways have connected towns

on the Konkan coast with Tulunadu ports at least from the period of Portuguese interference.

In addition, from the beginning of the twentieth century, when Bombay started to grow economically, Mangaloreans headed there in search of opportunities. Mostly they reached there through launch services of the British companies. Mangalorean Konkanis were deprived of connectivity with Goa, their ancestral land and Bombay, their destiny.

Though Mangaloreans flooded Bombay, now Mumbai, in search of jobs and economic opportunities, they had to endure riding buses that took 30-48 hours losing time, sleep and in discomfort.

This deprivation is part of our colonial legacy. After the demise of Tipu Sultan in 1799, and with British rule, the region became part of Madras Presidency and not of the adjacent Mysore state. Disintegration of Karnataka into Mumbai Karnataka, Hyderabad Karnataka and Mysore state made the problem worse. British after defeating Tipu thought of keeping the Ports on the Karnataka coast in

their own grip for tactical reasons and imperial priorities. With Keladi Nayakas eliminated from the scene and the local petty rulers in a weak situation, there was no one to stake a claim. Mysore rulers and the king of Koorg were too obliged to British for their emancipation from the Sultans of Mysore.

Tulunadu or the undivided Kanara district had now become a part of Madras presidency. Later North Kanara was clubbed with Bombay Presidency, and Tulunadu remained a fringe region on a predominantly Coromandel based political entity.

For the British administrators in Madras, Railway was easily accessible through waterways, and there was no need to connect it with outer provinces. Finally, Tulunadu was connected to Madras through Railway only in 1907, when it became the last district to be connected. A Marble stone on the North end of the Netravati Rail bridge announces this fact even to this day. Even this connection came as the British felt the need to move their armies swiftly to the west coast from the Presidency centre of Madras. This can be ascertained

from the fact that the Railway ends just at the Cantonment ward still retaining the name. Cantonment was the place where the British military was stationed at times of need. The need to connect Kundapur, Puttur, Karkala or Beltangadi was not felt then. The region got connected only to where the colonial ruler wanted for their ends. The Kannada lands and Kanara region and the towns of Konakana coast remained unconnected. Mumbai, Karwar and the cities of Karnataka like Bangalore, Mysore, Belagavi, Hubli Dharward remained alien to Tuluvas for many decades.

Ever since 1870, there has been a persistent demand for the link between Mangalore port and Mysore plateau. Different British officials like Mr Grove in 1893 . Later, Mr Gilchrist, from 1895 and Richards in 1914 did their surveys.

Still, the Madras Government did not take any step in this direction till Independence.

Mysore got Connected to Tulunadu only in the 1970s for some time before getting decommissioned for gauge conversion till the beginning of the

85 Veez Konkani

last decade. Last two decades have seen some improvement, now Tulunadu residents travel to Bangalore, Mysore, Kodagu, Puttur, Hassan by Train. Century-old deprivation has been finally overcome, albeit not to full satisfaction.

Konkan Railway filled the Railway void along the Konkana coast by connecting Mangalore with Goa and Mumbai. Coastal Karnataka got connected to India's glorious railway network. It became a boon to the people of Karwar to reach Mysore and Bangalore. The project was accomplished with nearly 2,000

bridges and 92 tunnels on the mountainous terrain and is acknowledged as the most difficult Railway undertaking of the century, at least in India. The first Train operated on January 26, 1998. Fifty-one years after Independence, people of Tulunadu along with the rest of Coastal Karnataka freed themselves from the colonial Scourge of selective connectivity. We shall be aware and thankful to our own 'Bagiratha' Shri George Fernandes and countless those who might have appealed, bargained, and sacrificed their time and efforts for our sake and posterity.

LOVE JIHAD – CATHOLIC STYLE (A sequel to “Love’s Dark Secrets”) # chhotebhai Once again this heading challenges us to sit up and take note. We know that the term “Love Jihad” has been coined by ultra-nationalist right wing forces that have used it to push through stringent legislation against forced conversions in U.P., M.P. and Uttrakhand, all BJP ruled States.

In BJP lingo it implies that Muslim men, hiding their religious identity, are luring gullible young Hindu girls into marriage and conversion to Islam.

This, despite no real evidence of the

same. The word “love” does not require any definition here, but “jihad” does; more so since it is often used to describe violent acts of certain Islamic groups. However, the original Arabic word means to struggle or strive for a noble cause. It could be for the defence of Islam or for a spiritual struggle against sin. According to the Holy Quran it is a defensive, not aggressive act. However, like all noble acts, it can be misused. The closest Christian equivalent would be the much maligned Crusades. In Hinduism it could be termed Dharamyudh.

87 Veez Konkani

Where is the Catholic angle in all this?

A recent case was of two doctors (the man was a Muslim and the woman a Catholic) getting married in a church in Kerala. Even a retired bishop participated in the nuptials. A section of the church in Kerala vehemently protested, leading to Cardinal Alencherry of Ernakulam declaring the marriage null and void, apparently because it had not followed canonical procedures. Even the participating bishop issued an apology, obviously under pressure.

Earlier too the Catholic bishops of Kerala have spoken out against love jihad for Catholic girls, drawing howls of protest from the Muslims who accused the bishops of cozying up to the BJP, to protect their financial and institutional interests.

When I went to Agra last month to attend the installation of Abp Raphy Manjaly, a priest of that diocese rushed up to present me a copy of his book “Pastoral Care of Mixed Marriage Families in the Agra Ecclesiastical Region: Challenges and Response”.

The book is the doctoral thesis of Rev Dr Maxim D’sa. It is 386 pages with 1100 references.

Since youth and marriage counselling has been an area of special concern for me, I felt compelled to put aside other reading and study this first. This piece is not a book review (it is available at the Agra Archbishop’s House) but a reflection on some of its salient observations and its message for the church. Nevertheless, I would first like to place on record my appreciation for the stupendous work undertaken by D’sa.

We need to understand what is meant by the Agra Ecclesiastical region. The first seeds of Catholicism were planted here over 500 years ago during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar.

Akbar’s church, built in memory of his Christian wife, is well preserved adjacent to the existing Cathedral.

D’sa states that the Region has the lowest Catholic presence in the whole of India. According to the Census of India 2011 all Christians (not just Catholics) in U.P. are just 0.37% of the population, 0.18% in Uttrakhand and 0.14% in Rajasthan. My guess is that Catholics are between 10 to 20% of the Christian population. From them again, some 75% could be migrants from outside the region. In sum total

88 Veez Konkani

then, the local Catholic population in the Region is miniscule, and the Catholic Church has nothing much to show for its 500 year presence.

(not problem) cannot be wished away.

It needs to be addressed hands on, with sensitivity and humility. This has not always been the case.

This, despite there being 12 dioceses (10 Latin and 2 of the Syro-Malabar Rite). In sharp contrast the number of educational institutions in the Region is in inverse proportion to the Catholic population. The Cathedral compound in Agra alone has about 8 educational institutions. It is a veritable concrete jungle.

There are three Cs that portray the Catholic Church’s attitude to MMs. They are Control, Conversion and Concern. This is part of Church history.

Before Emperor Constantine’s edict of Milan in the 4th century, the church was being persecuted. One form of protectionism therefore was to ensure that Christians did not marry nonChristians who were considered either heretics or pagans. D’sa therefore says that the attitude of the early Church Fathers to MMs was harsh and prohibitive, aided by their being celibate. However, after Constantine, and the advent of Christendom, later writers like Augustine and Chrysostom had a milder approach.

The official data on Mixed Marriages (MM) is an eye opener. Canonically, MM refers to a marriage between a Catholic and a Christian from a sister church; as distinct from a marriage with a non-Christian, that is referred to as disparity of cult/ worship. However, the MM data includes both categories.

In the 5 years between 2013-2017, there were 3269 marriages in the Region. Of these 1393, or 43% were MMs. This is going only by church records. If we take into account Catholics who get married in a ceremony not held in a Catholic Church one may safely conclude that every second marriage in the Region is an MM. This gigantic phenomenon

We need to here recall that in 1302, the 189th pope, Boniface VIII, had summarily declared that there was no salvation outside the Catholic Church.

In effect all others were going to hell and any association with them, marriage included, was a passport to down under!

89 Veez Konkani

This attitude of supercilious superiority pervaded the Church till the far reaching reforms of Vatican II (1962-65). So understandably, the Old Code of Canon Law (1917) reflected the church’s ecclesiology. For brevity’s sake I shall henceforth refer to it as OC. Hence MMs were “most severely forbidden” (OC 1060). Granting of dispensation was reserved to the authority of the pope. Here too this was mostly granted to the nobility! So there were different norms for the rich and powerful, while the cry of the poor man went unheeded. Even today we find that parish priests are more accommodating when it comes to the well heeled (or high heeled as the case may be)!

Under the guise of safeguarding the “true faith”, the Catholic Church was actually coercively controlling the personal choices of its people.

However, over a period of time societal pressures were brought to bear on the earlier rigid and sanctimonious stand of the Catholic Church. From Control it now switched gears to Convert. So “the Catholic party is bound to prudently procure the conversion of the non-Catholic party” (OC 1062). For this reason the

Catholic party also declared that the children would be brought up as Catholics, and the non-Catholic party would have no objection to the same.

Obviously this went against all norms of freedom of choice, and could jeopardise MMs, or even be an occasion for the Catholic to marry under less restrictive circumstances outside the Church. The Catholic Church’s rigidity was being counterproductive.

To dissuade MMs, they were not to be held in the church but in the sacristy.

D’sa states that the priest could not wear sacred vestments, and no publicity was to be given to such marriages to avoid setting a bad example.

For those of us who take Vatican II for granted, or were born in the post Vatican II era, we need to remind ourselves of how stifling the Catholic Church was before that. Its Decree on Human Dignity states that there should be no coercion (DH No 2). Post Vatican II ecclesiology is reflected in the New Code of Canon Law of 1983 for the Latin Rite and of 1990 for the Eastern Rites. Now it just asks the Catholic party to make a sincere effort

90 Veez Konkani

to baptise the children as Catholics (Latin 1125:1/ Eastern 814). There is no compulsion on the non-Catholic party.

He/she only needs to be informed about this, and instructed accordingly (Latin 1125:2+3). Now marrying a fellow Christian is not an impediment that needs dispensation.

It only requires permission.

However, I object to this for the same reason that we object to anticonversion laws that state that a person seeking conversion must obtain permission from the District Magistrate. If choosing one’s religion is an inalienable right, then so is choosing one’s life partner. As we are seeing in Kerala, especially among the Oriental Rites, bishops and priests can be quite sticky about granting permission or dispensation. It is time that this proviso is also removed. All that should be expected in such cases is that the Catholic party be properly instructed and gives an assurance that it will abide by the faith of the church and make a sincere effort to bring up its offspring in the same manner.

From Control and Conversion the church should now move to Concern.

Earlier its concern was for

safeguarding the faith.

Now its concern should be the welfare and happiness of the couple. By default that will also be the best way of protecting and nurturing the faith.

Instead of blaming the couple (D’sa has identified 28 very valid reasons for MMs), the church needs to look within itself for the reasons. I quote some of the observations D’sa makes.

He says that there is no community feeling among Catholics ... parishes are ritualistic communities that gather every Sunday ... the faith is based on novenas and pilgrimages and the homilies have little relevance to the people ... evangelizing activity has grown cold ... priests are reduced to ritual performers and running English medium educational institutions ...

Catechism ends with High School ...

The church in the Region failed to permeate the ethos of North India. It stagnated in the field of education social works!

This is a scathing indictment from a priest, not a disgruntled layman.

Added to that, the arrival of SyroMalabar missionaries without adequate preparation resulted in

91 Veez Konkani

exaggerated claims of identity and competition among the three Rites.

This is downright shameful.

He therefore observes that the Catholic community in the Region is “Hindu in social life, Christian in religion and Catholic in worship”. Is this good or bad? I am inclined to believe that this is God writing straight with crooked lines.

that all may be one, as Jesus prayed before his imminent death (cf Jn 17:21). Let us hope and pray that the bishops, priests and even the young people of the Region will heed what the Spirit is saying to the Churches (Rev 3:22). This would indeed be Love Jihad, Catholic style!

• The writer was the founder Secretary of the U.P. Regional Youth & Vocations Bureau and later a Resource Person for the CCBI Family Life Commission.

Mixed Marriages are here to stay, and will probably increase by leaps and bounds. Instead of perceiving this as a threat, the Catholic Church needs to see it as an ecumenical opportunity, FEBRUARY 2021 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life has come a full circle for Harold Henry D’Souza. A breath-taking journey from India to White House to Bollywood. From being a near slave in Lady Liberty’s land, he has served at The White House, as U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking with President Barack Obama and President Donald J. Trump.

Talking to media Harold D’Souza emotionally shared; I can still feel the starvation, sleepless nights for years, working 16 hours a day with no Christmas, Thanks Giving, holidays or celebration of birthdays for my sons.

Harold D’Souza’s journey from being a Train Conductors son, whose father slept on Dabhoi railway station to Blockbuster Biopic Film is nothing short of inspirational.

This high-profile movie is being dedicated to my loving father Henry D’Souza. It was my request to the producer directors before signing on the dotted line of ‘Life Right Agreement’. My request was happily accepted by the film producers, spoke Harold D’Souza.

Slavery to The White House, mopping restrooms, dishwashing to busing tables in a restaurant, this common

At one point in my life I was on my knees starving for food, freedom, and family. There is a big difference between starvation and hunger.

Harold says, one should never forget their originality. Americans generously navigated me with food, transportation, medical, status, and finally freedom forever.

This ordinary man is now harvesting extra-ordinary hope to people, across the world to overcome obstacles into opportunities.

It is astonishing to hear from Harold D’Souza who says he is a common man and failure in life. Today he is the hope, courage, voice, and freedom for victims globally.

Touching testimony of one of the victims Paresh Patel now a survivor living in Chicago.

Paresh with tears spoke; “I am from India Gujarat State, Surat District, Madhi Village. I came to USA in 2009 on B1/B2 Visa. As everybody, I have a dream to settle in USA, safe and good life style, earning good income. For status in USA I spent lots of money, but I could not get it. I was very disappointed, thought I failed in life, working 14 to 15 hours getting $1,500 monthly salary. I was in depression. To do suicide, this thought comes to my mind. This time I contact Mr. Harold.

Mr. Harold is my savior, healer, and battery charger. He killed my fear, my negative thought, my feelings of suicide.

Harold D’Souza says, witnessing your son being ‘slapped’ in front of your eyes, is something I cannot tolerate for any child. Kids are angels of God. Harold has left no stone unturned in empowering victims to live with courage and happiness.”

Adding to his journey of freedom Paresh said; “Mr. Harold boost my positive energy. To fight with current

situation and not to lose heart. He is like vaccine and power bank for me.

He told me not to do suicide and not to keep silent. You have to fight for your life and your family. If you help others, then God will help you and to love everybody. When Mr. Harold gave me his book “Frog in a Well”. This book is story of people like me. Now I realize that I am not Frog in a Well. I am not a football so anybody can kick me. I am very special person in USA. Crusader Harold D’Souza has empowered hundreds of vulnerable community members to believe in themselves.

Paresh continued sharing his traumatic experience; I am an undocumented person. I am not an illegal person. Mr. Harold helped me realize that no human being is illegal.

We are all children of God. Life is too short, enjoy it. Now when I am upset, I talk with Mr. Harold D’Souza and he recharge my battery. He is doing great job with Eyes Open International, fighting for human labor trafficking victims. I can see that he will become ‘Father D’Souza.’ We all know ‘Mother Teresa. ’This film is creating ripples in the community. It will inspire millions.

LOVE’S DARK SECRETS # chhotebhai Quite frankly, I must admit that I don’t like the title! How can love be bracketed with dark secrets? It should not, but so often is; hence

this attempt to remove the dark secrets and bring love out into the sunshine.

97 Veez Konkani

Let me begin with the story of Mary and John (not Joseph). They were approaching their twenty fifth wedding anniversary.

In all probability Mary and Joseph did not have that joy, because the last reference to Joseph in the Bible is when Jesus was still 12 years of age.

After that Joseph melted into the shadows.

Mary and John did not believe in “precious metals” like silver and gold, so abjured the commonly used term “silver jubilee”. In the invitation cards they carefully chose the words “A celebration of 25 years of marital bliss”. But the printer’s devil was not so careful. The cards were printed with the words martial bliss, reminding one of the martial arts!

Hey, come on. Marriage is bliss, and

also a martial art, with the emphasis on Art. Indeed, in the complexities of modern life one needs to discover the art of marital bliss.

Together with the arts, marriage also requires a scientific temper.

Art, science, martial, temper – they are all part of marriage. Worth exploring the dark secrets, to uncover the bliss.

Mary and John both loved road trips for their annual family holiday. But their Maruti 800 was now too old for long trips. They couldn’t afford a new car, so they went to a second hand car showroom. They fell in love with a berry red Tata Tiago, but the price seemed beyond their budget. They were crestfallen. The agency said that the car would go to the highest bidder, by e-auction.

The couple felt doubly stressed.

As the date of their anniversary approached the tension was palpable. John’s blood sugar, cholesterol and pressure levels shot up. He had to be hospitalised. The anniversary celebrations were cancelled. On the eve of their

98 Veez Konkani

anniversary both were receiving text messages, to which they were furiously replying. Both took it for granted that the other was replying to congratulatory greetings.

That evening the Tiago was delivered to their doorstep, with a price tag that was 25% more than the agency’s price! Mary and John had been bidding against each other without knowing it. There was no communication between them, only a dark secret. Mary, in her great love, had purchased the car for her husband! He died of shock.

End of story. Unfortunately, the lack of communication in a marriage is one of its darkest secrets, a lesson that needs to be learnt.

There are two classic instances of how love’s dark secrets ended in tragedy.

The best known is Shakespeare’s story of Romeo and Juliet.

Due to a lack of communication (non delivery of a message) Juliet consumed poison and Romeo stabbed himself to death. Love’s dark secret ended in tragedy.

The other, lesser known, classical story is that of the silver fob chain. The young couple were penniless. She had cascading wavy hair that she kept under wraps because she didn’t have a tortoise shell comb to embellish it. He kept his heirloom pocket watch hidden, like another dark secret, because he did not have a silver fob chain to go with it.

Without telling her husband, the woman sold her precious hair to buy the chain for her husband’s watch.

But he had sold his watch to buy the comb to adorn her hair! Another of love’s dark secrets that ended in tragedy.

Years ago when I was into youth ministry I had organized a training programme for youth animators.

The resource person for marriage counselling was Rev Pepe Casasnovas SJ. He told us that communication was the most important thing in a marriage – to attain marital bliss. I have never forgotten his words, and it has held me in good stead in my own marriage. He told us that silence or

99 Veez Konkani

non-communication in a marriage, was like building a wall, one brick at a time.

It reminded me of my own parent’s marriage.

Both were great personalities, and recipients of papal awards from Pope Paul VI. Yet, in many ways, their marriage was a disaster. We had a huge dining table, which was expandable to accommodate twenty people sitting. Even in its constricted form it was about twelve feet long. My father would sit at one end and my mother at the other. If there was a fight there would a stony silence that would extend (like the table) for a month. It was torture. Though still very young at the time, I vowed that I would never let that happen in my family life.

Let the sparks fly, as must they will, but those sparks don’t have to end in a conflagration of silence. I am reminded of these beautiful words from scripture “Even if you are angry, do not sin: never let the sun set on your anger or else you will give the devil a foothold” (Eph 4:26).

This is a powerful lesson for love’s dark secrets. Never go to bed without, in some way, reconciling and talking, or even through nonverbal communication.

I compare it to a glass of milk. If left out overnight on the dining table in the hot summer it will curdle by morning. Many couples don’t fight to avoid conflict.

This is misconstrued logic that is fraught with danger. It is better to argue and fight or to be angry, than to sweep it under the carpet, allowing it to simmer and eventually turn poisonous.

Many couples maintain a pretence of being in marital bliss because they are acutely conscious of what people will say, “The neighbours will hear us arguing and shouting”. As a result, such persons are unaware of what God is saying - that anger, per se, is not wrong. We know that even Jesus got angry several times, but that anger was channelled correctly.

It was justified anger.

As we approached Valentine’s Day

100 Veez Konkani

on Febrary 14, 2020, market forces flooded us with messages of chocolate, hug, kiss or proposal day.

Fine, but? A romantic young man sent this WhatsApp message to his girlfriend, “Sweetest honey, I really love you. I will cross the treacherous Himalayan glaciers, I will brave the tsunamis of the oceans, I will cross the scorching deserts, even without Bisleri water, to see you because you are my oasis. You are my date (pun intended), my shady palm tree. I will be coming with chocolates and a bunch of red roses to take you out for dinner on Valentine’s Day, if it is not raining”!

Tragedy or comical farce? Sure chocolates and roses have their place in a romantic relationship. But if we put conditions to our love relationship, especially to a marital one, then our marriage is doomed to darkness, with secrets out of the bag.

It is not enough to say “I love you”.

One could as easily say that to one’s pet dog. There is more to it than meets the eye (I) – pun intended.

One needs to say “I love you only, I

love always and I love you as you are”. These are the three qualities of marital bliss – a love that is exclusive, eternal and unconditional.

This may seem obvious, but so often we miss the wood for the trees, or the rose in this case.

Interestingly, this is also the official teaching of the church.

While emphasising the unity and indissolubility of marriage (Can 1056) Canon Law defines it as a permanent and exclusive relationship (Can 1134), that does not permit any conditions for the future (Can 1101). There we have it.

The official Catechism of the Catholic Church has these beautiful words: “Sacred Scripture begins with the creation of man and woman in the image and likeness of God and concludes with a vision of the wedding feast of the Lamb” (CCC 1602). And again, “The church attaches great importance to Jesus’ presence at the wedding at Cana.

She sees in it the confirmation of the goodness of marriage” (CCC 1613).

This is in sharp contrast to St Paul’s

101 Veez Konkani

myopic vision, clouded by an imminent end of the world, that “What I mean brothers is that the time has become limited and from now on those who have wives should live as though they had none” (1Cor 7:29). Fortunately, he makes the qualifying statement that “I have no directions from the Lord, but I give my own opinion” (1Cor 7:25).

Unfortunately, in a celibate dominated church, marriage has been denigrated as second class.

Overzealous preachers invariably quote this chapter from St Paul.

They also quote out of context Jesus’ reprimand to Martha, that

Mary had chosen the better part (cf Lk 10:41). This is why quoting Scripture out of context is dangerous. I temper it with the teachings of Vatican II. “From the wedlock of Christians there comes the family ... The family is so to speak the domestic Church” (LG No 11).

So let us dispel the dark secrets and let God’s light shine on all human love.
