This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. What is the activity of the Bajrang Dal, Jamaat -E-Islam, Rashtriya Swayam Sevak and Shiv Sena against evangelical Christians in Goa? 2. What difficulties do evangelical Christians face in Goa? 3. Would the police in Goa condone and/or be involved in discrimination / persecution against evangelical Christians in Goa by these groups? RESPONSE 1. What is the activity of the above mentioned four groups against evangelical Christians in Goa? 2. What difficulties do evangelical Christians face in Goa? 3. Would the police in Goa condone and/or be involved in discrimination / persecution against evangelical Christians in Goa by these groups? The state of Goa has a significant Christian population.

  • Goa´S Democratic Becoming and the Absence of Mass Political Violence
    Aureliano FERNANDES, Lusotopie 2003 : 331-349 Goa´s Democratic Becoming and the Absence of Mass Political Violence olitical change, it is presumed, especially in transitional or emerging nations of Asia and Africa, is likely to be prefaced by massive political Pviolence. This phenomena, it is believed, not only threatens viability of these nation states, and their capacity to function effectively, but also forces the discipline of comparative politics to evolve new conceptualization in order to understand this crisis (Sloan 1971 : 12). This emasculation occurs as a result of transition « from empire to nation », a price for « liberation » from coloniality. Violence, therefore, becomes one more rationalization for American and Eurocentric formulations of the failure of emerging Asian- Indian nation-states as integrating forces. Clearly, therefore, the post colonial challenge subsists in the entrenchment of new state formations in a colonial past and their potential to redefine society to create a space for the varied culture world of its people, asserting diverse identities. In the case of Goa, a lusotopic space, its historical fashioning, its multicultural ethos, despite its ethnological diversity, and more importantly its democratic political institutions, more specifically its bi-party system have managed political change without the aberration of large scale mass political violence, vindicating the cause of democracy and the fact that orderly change is possible in transitional societies. Ironically the phenomenology of the « new imperialism » of the 21st Century, betrayed by deleterious violence against nations and peoples, seems to suggest that democratic political institutions have met their annihilation in the « land of their birth ». Violence in politics The role of violence as a medium of political discourse has increased strikingly in South Asia, Far East, Africa and South America in the post colonial era.

This argument commences from the postulate that the recognition of Konkani in the Devanagari script as the official language of Goa, determined the boundaries of the state’s civil society.Through an ethnographic study of the contestations around the demand that the Roman script also be officially recognised, the thesis demonstrates how by deliberately excluding the Roman script for the language, the largely lower-caste and lower-class Catholic users of the script were denoted as less than authentic members of the legitimate civil society of the state.

  • Statewide Analysis of the 14Th General Elections in India
    INDIA. ELECTIONS 2004 STATEWIDE ANALYSIS OF THE FOURTEENTH GENERAL ELECTIONS IN INDIA HARYANA CSDS Team with Ashutosh Kumar The Congress swept the polls in Haryana 9 of the 10 Lok Sabha seat and polled 42.1 percent votes, nearly seven percent higher than what the party polled in 1999 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP managed to win the Sonepat seat. The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) could not even open its account and polled 22.4 percent votes. The twin factors, which worked against the ruling INLD in Haryana were, first breaking of the alliance between the BJP and the INLD and the non- performance of the state government. During the 1999 Lok Sabha elections, when, the INLD contested the Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the BJP, they had won all the 10 seats and the alliance had polled 57.9 percent votes. Assuming that these two political parties had contested the 2004 elections as allies, the alliance would have polled 39.6 percent votes. But they would still have remained far been the Congress in terms of votes polled. If BJP-INLD had contested the elections in alliance they would have won only 3 Lok Sabha seats and still Congress would have managed to win 7 seats. It is not only the breaking of the alliance which explains the rout of the INLD, but there is some thing more to explain why voters in Haryana, voted for the Congress in large numbers. High level of dissatisfaction of the people with the Chautala government is the real reason why people turned away from the ruling INLD.
