President's Corner Namaskaru, It gives us immense pleasure to inform that our final event - “Diwali” in 2010 was a grand success. We had over 350 people attend this event in San Jose. The entire KAOCA committee thanks the patrons who helped make this event a huge success. The event started at 4 pm with snacks, which included Masala Puri and Shira. The Entertainment program started at 5 pm and had a variety of programs including a couple of skits. The dinner followed at 8:15 pm and the menu included Valval, Ambe Upkari, Veg Kurma and Chicken Curry. The evening ended on a high note after the DJ music. It is time now for us – the 2010 KAOCA committee to move on and reflect back on the nostalgic journey which started late in 2009. On a personal note, when Sulatha and I were approached to head the committee for 2010, I was not very sure. However, my wife the charmer she is, talked me into it. “Yes we can” was her slogan and that triggered enough adrenaline rush in me to stand up and take the mantle. That is one side of the story. The other is the fabulous committee that made all of this happen. I cannot thank them enough for the dedication, support, commitment and creative infusion they put in to take KAOCA to the next stage. When we met as a committee we decided to do something different, something unique and thus our mission - “Bringing generations together” was born. We wanted to connect together generations of today and tomorrow and create a vibrant and a lively community. On similar lines our entertainment theme was “Something for Everyone”. We had also decided to cook authentic Konkani food for the community. To realize our core mission, we wanted to hear the Pulse of the community, so we conducted a survey. The survey results reflected the community’s voice, which was to add new events for this year namely the Musical Concert and Disco Dandiya. In addition, we wanted to create a financial model that benefits the community at large by not only revisiting the membership fees and other misc costs like Insurance. Our other goal included transferring at least as much money to the next committee as we received from the previous one. 2010 highlights: Event Pricing model that encouraged healthy participation from the community - our events were attended by a large number of Konkani patrons. Dynamic Web presence – Created a reusable and dynamic web presence for KAOCA. KAOCA is also on Facebook. Enagaged in food drive activity. 2 additional events – Musical Concert and Disco Dandiya, which propelled KAOCA into Limelight. Copyright © 2010 Konkani Association of California (KAOCA) 3 All rights reserved. Streamlined Insurance cost (General Liability and Directors and Officers) for KAOCA, which resulted in savings of 1k. KAOCA assets were stored in committee members home at zero cost. KAOCA is green. Contact directory to be published online for community members. Event highlights: Ugadi: Attendees: 400+. Exciting entertainment program which included a Sitar recital by Tim White. Authentic Konkani food included Buns, Shevayi, Narayankatar, gajabaje, jain curry, avanase ambe sasam and Garayi. Talent Day: included several events such as Card Game (Turup), chess, Carrom, Table Tennis, Wii, Basketball hoops and cooking contest. In addition, we had an art and poetry showcase and a food drive for Second Harvest food bank. Picnic: The day-long event with fun activities and food was attended by over 150 Konkanis. The kids enjoyed the inflatable jumps and the popcorn. The food served was an Indianized version of the Chipotle bowl. The afternoon activities included games for both adults and kids. The evening ended on a high note with raffle, bingo and Bhel Puri. Concert: KAOCA this year with a joint venture with Kannada Koota (KKNC) organized a classical music concert by Grammy Award Winner Pt Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and Suben Chatterjee. Dandiya: This event was open to public. Attended and liked by over 200 people. Diwali: Attendees: 375+. Exciting entertainment program, which included couple of skits and variety of programs. Food that included Masala Puri, Shira, Valval, Ambe Upkari, Veg Kurma and Chicken Curry and Date Kheer. How was your money spent? On a final note, we want to thank the community at large for helping us realize our mission. We would also extent our sincere thanks and appreciation to the seniors in the community who offered us advice, all the countless hours put by the volunteers who willingly helped us, the community families that participated in the entertainment programs and who can forget the hardwork put by our committee ladies in the food area to cook Copyright © 2010 Konkani Association of California (KAOCA) 4 All rights reserved. authentic Konkani food. KAOCA 2010 committee members went above and beyond their obligations in serving the community. Hats off to you! Our term serving the community for this year has ended and the baton has been passed in the able hands of Mohan and Rekha Kamath. We are confident that KAOCA will have another stellar year under their leadership. We wish them well. Together we can – Together we will – Make a difference – and make a better community.

Tae Kwon Do, Doing the Impossible By Nivya V. Kamath Hello! My name is Nivya, and I am thirteen years old. I live in Cupertino, CA where I attend Lawson Middle school. My Tae Kwon Do, TKD, school is located in a nearby city, Sunnyvale. I started attending TKD in 2003, when I was five years old. My Mom introduced me to TKD in the school near our house. Little did I know that this sport would thereafter, for good, change my life forever. In the beginning, I was only going there since my parents were interested in putting me through the mixed martial arts training. However over the course of time, I had grown to learn the essence of this art and appreciate it. It teaches us beyond fighting; the life skills and values that help us lead the right way of life. Dharma is what we call it. Tae Kwon Do, which translates into, “Foot, fist, and mind”, originated in Korea thousands of years ago. The masters of our TKD association are Kwan Jang Nim Ernie Reyes and Kwan Jang Nim Tony Thompson. They were students of Grand Master Choi, and after the death of their teacher, continued the tradition of teaching these fine arts to the world even today. Being a 2nd Degree Black Belt and for the last eight years of doing this sport, I have learnt many fighting techniques such as: sparring, forms, weapons, board breaking, kicks, hand movements, and grappling. Sparring is a type of fighting in TKD that cultivates the kicks and hand movements all at one time. Some traditional techniques that we learn in TKD are Forms. Forms are combinations composed of various techniques. Once a student graduates into intermediate training, they are taught forms that include all of the techniques they learned to see if they have mastered them correctly. In TKD, we not only fight with our hands and feet but also with weapons such as: Bo staffs, Nunchucks, and Kamas. Board breaking is when you use one technique, through kicks or hand movements, to break a solid piece of wood. Basic techniques are kicks and hand movements that are used widely in many variations in combat. Surprisingly, not all fighting takes place on your feet. Grappling is a type of fighting that takes place when lying on the ground.

  • Why Dots and Dashes Matter: Writing Bengali in Roman Script Colonial Contexts, of Non-Roman Scripts Generally, Except for Greek
    Carmen Brandt Why Dots and Dashes Matter Writing Bengali in Roman Script A friend recently sent me a photo of an Indian restaurant called “Vagina Tandoori” and asked for my ‘official statement’ as a scholar of South Asian studies. After we had had a good laugh – as many other Internet users had before us – I was not shy of providing an answer, as I explained the potential reason behind this awkward name: the restaurant owners could be of Bengali origin and might have transcribed the Bengali term ভািগনা/bhāginā1 “nephew”2, the way they thought it should be written in Roman script. I have come across this transcription several times in Bangladesh. Beyond that, a male colleague of mine regularly gets emails from his “vagina”, i.e. from a friend in Bangla- desh who is much younger to him and refers to himself as his “nephew”. Even though the awkward restaurant name turned out to be a hoax,3 the writing of South Asian lan- guages – especially Bengali – in Roman script is, nonetheless, often a challenge. Hence, this essay reflects on these challenges, discusses in general why South Asian languages are often written in Roman script, and which options might be best to do so. The Roman Script – a Symbol of Colonial Conquest As I have already discussed in detail (Brandt 2020), in South Asia, the Roman script is often perceived as a symbol of foreign domination in past and present. Its 1 All Bengali words are transliterated according to the rules in Table 4 below. 2 That means the son of one’s sister or the son of one’s husband’s sister.

  • Caste and Communities of the Konkan Coastal Region : a Study of the Social Structure in Medieval Period
    Caste and Communities of the Konkan Coastal Region : A study of the social structure in Medieval Period Deepika Singh Research scholar, Centre for Historical Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, Email id: [email protected] Abstract: The present article attempts to make some contribution to the study of socio-economic condition on the western coastal part of India especially the Konkan coast in the medieval period. The economic condition of any period in Indian history cannot be examined without an understanding of the social life. I have tried to analyse the relationship between the social and economic life. I have examined caste and its phenomena as a basic form of social structure, which characteristizes Konkan society and their livelihood. The attempt has been made to point out the role of caste and communities in the social and economic sphere. Key words: Caste, Communities, Subcaste, Occupation, Land tenures, Konkan Introduction: The Konkan is coastal lowland adjoining the Arabian Sea in the north central parts of the west coast of India. Grant Duff pointed out that the Konkan extended along the coast from the Tapti to Sadashivgad and inland as far as the open plains of the Dakkan and he thus included in it parts of both Gujarat and Kanara and of the country above the Ghats. This latter he called Konkan Ghat Matha as opposed to tal-Konkan or the lowlands and he inferred that the Muslims were the first who set the name to the low country. Ferishta also said of the Konkan under the name of Tal- Ghat and Khafi Khan called it Tal-Konkan.1 The period covered in this study is, chosen in the light of a number of factors.

Coming from northern India to Hyderabad as sanyasis, male ascetics tracing lines of spiritual succession from guru to chela, Goswamis lived in maths, ostensibly without women or biological heirs. Goswami lineages established themselves as banking houses in Begum Bazar and leading Goswamis were termed Rajas because of their participation in the Nizam’s Mughlai administration and court culture. As modern educational and legal systems developed in Hyderabad and north Indian Goswami practices in British India began to influence Hyderabad’s Goswamis, they moved from Goswami law governing guru-chela successions and inheritances to Hindu family law governing marriage and inheritance. The nominally ascetic bankers and their dependents became householders following new occupations, developing an endogamous marriage network and self-identifying as a caste. Evidence about Gosains in Mirzapur and Varanasi strengthens the argument that educational and legal alternatives helped empower the women and children associated with the maths and develop a Goswami caste in Hyderabad.
