GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa Tend to Think That Food and Drink in Goa Means the Famous Fish, Curry, Rice and Feni Package
GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa tend to think that food and drink in Goa means the famous fish, curry, rice and feni package. And for most Goans these are indeed the three basic necessities of life -- fish, curry and rice. They combine to make a heavenly daily meal for the average Goan. But Goan cuisine, like the land itself, has many flavours and tastes with its vast treasure trove of culinary delicacies. The long period of Portuguese rule, besides that of the Muslim and Hindu kingdoms, has left an indelible influence on the original style of Goan cooking and this has led to an exotic mix of truly tasty and spicy cuisine. Most people who sample Goan cuisine, enjoy this different and unique style of food which has a distinct and unique combination of spicy flavours. A Goan values his food as much as he does his daily siesta (break). And in his daily meal, seafood always has a pride of place is some form or the other. From fried fish to exotic concoctions like ambot-tik, sea food is usually a must on the menu, except for the occasional break for some religious observance. Goans take pleasure not only in what they eat, but also how they cook it. Although modern conveniences have almost completely taken over in urban areas, the traditional way of cooking in clay pots on firewood continues in most rural areas of Goa. This style of cooking adds an additional smoky flavour to the food, highly valued by Goans. Despite the two schools of cuisine traditions influenced by the respective religions of Hinduism and Christianity; there are some meeting points that present an interesting harmony.

The Denationalisation of Goans
Nishtha DESAI, Lusotopie 2000 : 469-476 The Denationalisation of Goans An Insight into the Construction of Cultural Identity* ristao de Braganza Cunha (1891-1958)1, henceforth referred to as Cunha, authored an essay, The Denationalization of Goans, published in T1944 as a booklet2. This essay gives a sharp critique of the psy- chological dominance of Portuguese culture over the educated people of Goa. It gives an insight into the construction of identities in the context of Portuguese colonial rule from the standpoint of an Indian nationalist. This is the subject matter of this presentation. Cunha, constructed a thesis of denationalisation, identifying it as the main obstacle for the development of nationalism in Goa. As a result of this essay, the term « denationalisation » entered the vocabulary of almost every freedom fighter in Goa. The Use of the Term « Denationalisation » It is not clear how Cunha came to use the term « denationalisation ». It was not a popularly used term, but one has come across being used in two different ways. Keshab Chandra Sen and Aurobindo Ghose have used the term to describe the efforts of the British to alienate the Indian people from their own culture3. The Portuguese state used it to denote those who expressed any dissent against it. In 1914, arguing in favour of imparting primary education in the mother-tongue, konkani, rather than Portuguese, Menezes Braganza asserted that it was the perceived « danger of * This paper contains ideas from my doctoral thesis, Tombat, Nishtha (alias Nishtha Desai), Tristao de Braganza-Cunha (1891-1958) and the Rise of Nationalist Consciousness in Goa, Dept of Sociology, Goa University, February 1995.

Karnataka Making All Efforts to Get Goa Fish Ban Revoked
Karnataka making all efforts to get Goa fish ban revoked The Goa government’s decision to ban sale of fish into the state from neighbouring states for six months has severely affected fishermen from Karnataka due to the fall in fish prices. 15th November 2018 The Goa government has made mandatory that fish transporters should obtain certificates from Food Safety and Drug Administration (Photo | EPS) By Express News Service MANGALURU: The Goa government’s decision to ban sale of fish into the state from neighbouring states for six months has severely affected fishermen from Karnataka due to the fall in fish prices. Now, the Karnataka government is making all efforts to persuade Goa to lift its ban on fish from Karnataka. The Karnataka Fisheries Department has asked its Goa counterpart to give it some time to make fishermen adhere to all the conditions enforced by the latter. Karnataka will also hold a dialogue with Goa for a long-term solution. Director of Fisheries Ramakrishna said the Goa government has made mandatory that fish transporters should obtain certificates from Food Safety and Drug Administration. The transporters who have obtained these certificates are allowed to go while others are not. He said the Goan authorities have raised concern over arrival of fish laced with formalin from Karnataka. “We are closely in touch with Goa officials and through our secretary, we have drafted a letter to the Goa government, asking them to lift the ban on fish from Karnataka,” he said. The stakeholder meetings are called by Deputy Director of Fisheries in Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada and Udupi districts and fish transporters have been instructed to collect the certificates from Food Safety Department and transport licences for their vehicles before transporting fish.

Goans on the Move
Goans on the Move Paul Melo e Castro University of Glasgow Cielo G. Festino Paulista University Hélder Garmes University of São Paulo Robert Newman Independent Scholar Goa has long been a place of transit. Since time immemorial people from across the Indian subcontinent have passed in and out of the territory. Europeans, including the Portuguese who gave Goa the epithet, ‘Rome of the East’, have come, gone and returned again, as have visitors from further afield, along the old Bahia-Lisbon-Goa route of the caravels or down the Hippie trail of the 1970s. Goans themselves have migrated over the ages, whether in flight, forced by economic circumstances, or for personal advancement. Whatever the particular push-and-pull factors in each case might be, these migrations often had common destinations, leading in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the formation of diaspora communities in the main cities of India, principally Mumbai, as well as in the former English and Portuguese colonies of East Africa. After the independence of these colonies in the 1960s and 1970s, many Goan Africans would find themselves again on the move, to Lisbon or Brazil, or to Anglophone countries in the Americas, Europe, Oceania and beyond. The various movements of these Goan subjects, the preservation or deliquescence of ties to home, identity and language, in short, the ever-changing fate of those in diaspora, have given rise to a large body of poems, novels, short stories and personal narratives that represent these experiences as a process of what Leela Gandhi terms “mutual transformation” (129), one affecting destination and origin, host community and migrant, family and society.

DICHOLKAR DIRECTOR DIRECTORATE OF ARCHIVES AND ARCHAEOLOGY GOVERNMENT OF GOA PANAJI-GOA. 403 001. Printed by: Department of Printing & Stationery Government of Goa Panaji-Goa. BRITISH RECORDS AS CORROBORATORY SOURCES IN WRITING THE HISTORY OF GOA. By Dr. N. Shyam Bhat Introduction : Sources or historical facts collated from varieties of literature, inscriptions, monuments, coins, oral source, etc. play a crucial role in history writing. In fact the statement ‘No Fact No History’, beautifully sums up the importance of sources in historical research. The topic of study or research determines the sources to be consulted. There is no doubt that a scholar researching on Indo- Portuguese history should primarily consult the Portuguese and other foreign and indigenous sources. However, as Portuguese Goa had interactions with the rest of India, and particularly the contiguous territories which today form parts of Karnataka and Maharashtra, it is essential to tap the sources of history available outside Goa for the reconstruction o f Goan history. The Portuguese in Goa had political, economic and socio-cultural relations with their neighbours in India. This part of their history can be written better by studying the sources available in the repositories outside Goa also. There are several records in the Tamil Nadu State Archives and Maharashtra State Archives which provide information on Goa and its linkages with the neighbours. The present article is based on such original records preserved in the Tamil Nadu State Archives and this illustrates and provides an example to emphasise their importance as corroboratory sources in 76 writing Goa’s history during the 19 t h century.

DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J. YOUNG Under the Direction of David McCreery ABSTRACT This is an analysis of Goan identity issues in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries using unconventional sources such as novels, short stories, plays, pamphlets, periodical articles, and internet newspapers. The importance of using literature in this analysis is to present how Goans perceive themselves rather than how the government, the tourist industry, or tourists perceive them. Also included is a discussion of post-colonial issues and how they define Goan identity. Chapters include “Goan Identity: A Concept in Transition,” “Goan Identity: Defined by Language,” and “Goan Identity: The Ancestral Home and Expatriates.” The conclusion is that by making Konkani the official state language, Goans have developed a dual Goan/Indian identity. In addition, as the Goan Diaspora becomes more widespread, Goans continue to define themselves with the concept of building or returning to the ancestral home. INDEX WORDS: Goa, India, Goan identity, Goan Literature, Post-colonialism, Identity issues, Goa History, Portuguese Asia, Official languages, Konkani, Diaspora, The ancestral home, Expatriates DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J.

IMT 5-Year Strategic Plan
Message from the Corporate CIO It is with pleasure I present you with the new Government of Alberta's (GoA) Information Management and Technology Plan (IMT), which lays out a vision for the next decade, and a Strategic Road Map and Implementation Plan to help us get there. Success of this IMT Strategic Plan comes from acknowledging the need for cultural change across the government, and embracing change through creative and innovative ways of delivering programs and services. We know to deliver value and support transformational change, we need to think, govern, and act from a government-wide perspective. A government-wide approach is pivotal to success in meeting the GoA's priorities and this IMT Strategic Plan. We also know that change is inevitable. We will need to continually evolve the ways in which we deliver services, and the ways in which we respond to technological trends, changes in business drivers, and the expectations of Albertans. We have heard, seen and experienced the impact of the digital world for years. It is an exciting time to be in IMT. This is our opportunity to influence and transform how the GoA delivers programs and services, and how citizens interact digitally with the GoA. There are many people to thank for being involved in shaping this strategic plan. Over 500 business and IMT staff from across the GoA provided candid and open perspectives, which were used to help build the plan. Special thanks to the CIO Council and IMT Project Execution Steering Committee for their advice, engagement and counsel as the plan was developed.
