  • The Case of Goa, India
    109 ■ Article ■ The Formation of Local Public Spheres in a Multilingual Society: The Case of Goa, India ● Kyoko Matsukawa 1. Introduction It was Jurgen Habermas, in his Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere [1991(1989)], who drew our attention to the relationship between the media and the public sphere. Habermas argued that the public sphere originated from the rational- critical discourse among the reading public of newspapers in the eighteenth century. He further claimed that the expansion of powerful mass media in the nineteenth cen- tury transformed citizens into passive consumers of manipulated public opinions and this situation continues today [Calhoun 1993; Hanada 1996]. Habermas's description of historical changes in the public sphere summarized above is based on his analysis of Europe and seems to come from an assumption that the mass media developed linearly into the present form. However, when this propo- sition is applied to a multicultural and multilingual society like India, diverse forms of media and their distribution among people should be taken into consideration. In other words, the media assumed their own course of historical evolution not only at the national level, but also at the local level. This perspective of focusing on the "lo- cal" should be introduced to the analysis of the public sphere (or rather "public spheres") in India. In doing so, the question of the power of language and its relation to culture comes to the fore. 松 川 恭 子Kyoko Matsukawa, Faculty of Sociology, Nara University. Subject: Cultural Anthropology.

    Title Daily Current Affairs Capsule 19th DecemberTitle 2020 Pakistan approves chemical castration of sex offenders Pakistan has approved the chemical castration of rapists as part of sweeping new legislation sparked by outcry over the gang rape of a mother on a motorway. New laws approved by President Arif Alvi will see rape cases expedited through the courts and create the country’s first national sex offenders register. Pakistan is a deeply conservative and patriarchal nation where victims of sexual abuse often are too afraid to speak out, or where criminal complaints are frequently not investigated seriously. In September, protests erupted after a mother was raped on the side of the road in front of her children when her car broke down near Lahore.

  • Goa Liberation Day
    Goa Liberation Day drishtiias.com/printpdf/goa-liberation-day-1 Why in News The Prime Minister of India greeted the people of Goa on Goa Liberation Day, which falls on 19th December every year. Key Points The day marks the occasion when the Indian armed forces freed Goa in 1961 from 450 years of Portuguese rule. The Portuguese colonised several parts of India in 1510 but by the end of the 19th-century Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Anjediva Island (a part of Goa). As India gained independence on 15th August, 1947, it requested the Portuguese to cede their territories but they refused. The Goa liberation movement started off with small scale revolts, but reached its peak between 1940 to 1960. In 1961, after the failure of diplomatic efforts with Portuguese, the Indian Government launched Operation Vijay and annexed Daman and Diu and Goa with the Indian mainland on 19th December. On 30th May 1987, the territory was split and Goa was formed. Daman and Diu remained a Union Territory. Hence, 30th May is celebrated as the Statehood Day of Goa. Goa 1/3 2/3 It is located on the southwestern coast of India within the region known as the Konkan, and geographically separated from the Deccan highlands by the Western Ghats. Capital: Panji.

  • Operation Vijay-Liberation of Goa
    Operation Vijay-Liberation of Goa December 26, 2020 In news Goa Liberation Day is observed on December 19 every year in India Background The Portuguese colonized several parts of India in 1510 but by the end of the 19th-century Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Anjediva Island. On August 15, 1947, when India gained its Independence, Goa was still under the Portuguese rule. The Portuguese refused to give up their hold over Goa and other Indian territories. Following a myriad of unsuccessful negotiations and diplomatic efforts with the Portuguese, the former prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, decided that military intervention was the only option. The 36-hour military operation, conducted from December 18, 1961, was code-named ‘Operation Vijay’ meaning ‘Operation Victory,’ and involved attacks by the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and Indian Army. Ram Manohar Lohia’s effort In June 1946, Ram Manohar Lohia, an Indian Socialist leader, entered Goa on a visit to his friend, Julião Menezes, a nationalist leader, who had founded the Gomantak Praja Mandal in Bombay and edited the weekly newspaper Gomantak. Ram Manohar Lohia advocated the use of non-violent Gandhian techniques to oppose the government. On 18 June 1946, the Portuguese government disrupted a protest against the suspension of civil liberties in Panajiorganised by Lohia, Cunha and others including Purushottam Kakodkar and Laxmikant Bhembre in defiance of a ban on public gatherings, and arrested them His efforts were followed by diplomatic efforts by Indian government which failed and led to armed action against the Portuguese rule About Operation Vijay: The liberation of Goa Operation Vijay marks the day Indian armed forces(with armed action)freed Goa, Daman & Diu in 1961 following 450 years of Portuguese rule.

  • Liberation Of
    Liberation of Goa The Liberation of Goa was a military action undertaken by the Government of India to liberate the territories of Diu, Daman and Goa from Portuguese rule on 17 -19 December 1961. The "armed action" was code-named Operation Vijay by the Indian Armed Forces. It involved air, sea and land strikes for over 36 hours during which Goa was liberated from 450 years of Portuguese rule. This article will elaborate on the Liberation of Goa within the context of the IAS Exam. Background of the Liberation of Goa The Portuguese enclaves in India were collectively known as Estado da India. Established in the 1400s they were the earliest colonial holding in India. It consisted of the districts of Goa, Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Upon India’s independence from the British Empire in August 1947, Portugal still continued to hold on to its enclaves. Resistance to Portuguese had taken concrete shape in the early 20th century pioneered by Tristão de Bragança Cunha, a French-educated Goan engineer who founded the Goa Congress Committee in Portuguese India in 1928. The Goa Congress was also made affiliate to the Indian National Congress (Formed on December 28, 1885) and Cunha was selected as its first President. Post the 1940s the Portuguese crackdown on the independence movement in Goa became heavy-handed with mass-arrests and police firings. There were many mass demonstration and non-violent protests during the period. Apart from the non-violent protests, armed groups such as the Azad Gomantak Dal and the United Front of Goans carried out violent attacks aimed at weakening Portuguese rule.

The Indian Army, with the commendable courage and heroism, physically took over the control of the territory. It is only appropriate that, on this memorable day, we recall the tremendous efforts made by our freedom fighters, their struggle, sufferings and sacrifices, and also the victorious action of the Army, and express our gratitude to them.
