Fr. Pratap Naik's Speech

Dear Friends,

To preserve, promote and seek justice for Konknni in Roman script, I had promoted the concept of establishing Dalgado Konknni Akademi (DKA) in the name of famous Konknni lexicographer Msgr. Sebestiao R. Dalgado, at Piedade Institue, Panaji on 17 July 1988. Subsequently on 28 August 1988, at a meeting held at Loyola High School, Margao, Goa, DKA was formally established.

On 28 August 2012, DKA organized a public function at Ravindr Bhavan, Margao, to inaugurate its Silver Jubilee Year. Mr. Manohar Parrikar, the Chief Minister of Goa was the chief Guest. I was invited as a Guest of Honour. Benaulim M.L.A. Mr Caetano D'Silva was a Special Invitee. On this occasion in my speech, I placed before the CM five demands of people who use Konknni in Roman script. In the past, the present CM who was then the Leader of the Opposition had assured me twice in the presence of Late Ul'las Buyanv by saying "If my government comes to power, I will do justice to Konknni in Roman script". I have attached here my entire speech in Konknni. For the sake of those who do not read Konknni in Roman script, here below I have given the five demands which I had placed before the CM.

Demand 1: Every year Kala Academy (KA), Goa gives awards to a best book in Konknni (Devanagari script) and Marathi. A separate category must be created to give award to books published in Konknni in Roman script.

Demand 2: Whatever financial support and other facilities Goa government gives to Marathi Akademi should also be extended to Dalgado Konknni Akademi.

Demand 3: To perform Tiatr and other stage performances throughout the year, build Modern Ravindra Bhavans at Panaji Bus stand and in Mapusa.

Demand 4: Those who want to study and want to teach Konknni in Roman script as an optional subject from Standard I to XII should be given the necessary permission.

Demand 5: In the Official Language Act 1987 Konknni written in Roman script should be included and the injustice which is prevalent for the last 25 years should be eradicated.

Those who really love Konknni and Goa now should use their influence with the State Government, to fulfil these five demands of the users of Konknni in Roman script. We do not want alms but we demand our rights. We do not want sympathy but justice. We do not want mere words but words articulated into concrete actions. Now the hour has has come for all of us to preserve and promote our identity. Hence arise and act.

If you are convinced of these five demands kindly circulate this mail to Goa Ministers, Members of Legislative assembly (M.L.A), Members of Parliament (M.P.), government officials, government institutions, and to your friends. Together we can achieve what looks like a distant dream.

Fr. Pratap Naik SJ

Jacinto Vaz, Champion Alvares etc come alive at TAG’s Programe today

Remembering Tiatr Artistes of Yester years

‘Somplelea Tiatristancho Ugddas’, the monthly programme of Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG) held on 11^th April 2012 at 4:45 pm at Black Box, Ravindra Bhavan, Margao Goa. The artistes of tiatr stage who were born in the month of April and who are no more living were remembered in the programme. These artistes are Jacinto Vaz, A.S.Conception, Nelson Afonso, Champion Alvares, Fidelis Fernandes, William de Curtorim, Thomas Coogan and Souza Boy.

Jacinto Vaz was one of the best comedians of the Konkani tiatr stage. He earned the nick name ‘Charlie Chaplin’ on account of his brilliant acting in comedy roles. He was also a very good playwright, director and singer.

A.S.Conception was a great ‘character artiste’. He highly entertained the audiences with his impressive acting and singing. Being a part of the famous trio ‘Anthony-Nelson-Conception’, he achieved great fame and their trios kept Goans alert and vigilant on critical issues.

Nelson Afonso was a very good script writer, director, lyricist, and singer. He created history by introducing the ‘Revolving Stage’ in his much acclaimed tiatr ‘Dolorosa’.

Champion Alvares was a script writer, director, lyricist, singer and fine actor. He acted in comedy roles as well as performed female roles with great ability. He is particularly known for composing and singing folk-songs which truly enriched Goan culture.

Goodbye Remmie Colaco

Remmie Colaco died on 22nd March 2012

I remember popular Remmie-Boyer comedy duets where M Boyer used to physically push Remmie to take his mic position and sang his own line and they did it each time they were called back

Remmie usually sang decent songs, even in comedy duets with M Boyer, his role was always as professional like doctor, engineer, empregado etc Boyer’s role being Cook, mechanic, drunkard etc

His career began when he was picked up by C.Alvares, J.P.Souzalin, Minguel Rod, Jacinto Vaz, Dioginho D’Melo, John Claro, M.Boyer and others.

As there were no female artistes then, Remmie Colaco used to play the lead roles of a female. Later on he himself started writing and directing his own plays.

He was a good singer on the tiatr stage having sung songs in all above mentioned tiatrs besides showcasing his acting talent. He was better known for his songs on moral values. His most famous song ‘Ankvar Moriechem Dukh’ was selected as the best Konkani song at the All India Radio during the Portuguese era.
