The indifference of successive governments !
by Dr. Cajetan Coelho on Aug 31, 2006 12:59 PM

"Isn't it ironical that a gas agency can be released to any Tom, Dick or Harry on one recommendation from a Member of Parliament or even a legislator; but a similar request from an artist like me for none other than my own grandson carries no value."

Musicians, sportspersons, artists and such other talented people who keep on entertaining our society spiritually and emotionally seldom get their due reward in their life time. We need to engage ourselves in regular and collective examination of conscience and find out ways and means to uphold and promote the finer and sublime talents of our people. Otherwise how can we expect younger generations to give expression to the talents and blessings, nature has endowed them with. If all their energies and efforts have to be spent for basic survival then we have not progressed far enough. We are still at level one which my late father would call " first Potobha than Vitobha " !
