THE NEWSPAPER YOU CAN ThRUST -- VAMAN'S BACK

Guys, we ought to have mentioned this a while back. But after a week’s absence Dr Vaman Naik’s career column is back in The Navhind Times. But is that really surprising?
We fall back on our usual argument…
A newspaper, which has no qualms carrying editorials written by Arun Sinha -- who’s still facing molestation charges for abusing a minor maid working in his house, a career column by a principal accused of sexual harassment is really no big deal na…
There’s more guys… there are still questions being raised as to why SS Dempo college is not following up the sexual harassment charges as per the Vishakha guidelines on sexual harassment issued by the Supreme Court.
For guys not familiar with this story and the backdrop, here’s a note.

Some months back, Dr Vaman Naik principal of the SS Dempo college of commerce was accused by a lecturer of sexual harassment (read more here). Now the college and the newspaper for which Vaman writes a career column, The Navhind Times is part of the Dempo business empire. The Dempos own a large share of the mining industry in the state and are a part of the high-rollers syndicate, which virtually runs Goa.

And judging by the way things are going around here, it does appear that these mining biggies, who go about abusing the Earth wantonly, wouldn’t brook stopping at anything… molestation, sexual harassment… bah… They know the ‘drill’…

Disgusting! And here is something to ponder about, folks....
Would the Dempos have maintained a 'Dignified(?) Silence' had the molester Waman Naik 'Played Around' with any member of the Dempo family?

Yes they probably would maintain a 'Dignified' silence, based on how pleasurable the experience would be!

About lobbies, corruption and nepotism. It is bad in Goa, but even worse in this African country. The program telecast by CNN is called 'living with corruption'. Its a must see...

That CNN program features Kenya in large part. My family lived there (Nairobi) just prior to its independence.

They tell me that the streets there were lined with flowers and pots, the electricity and water never even once failed, high quality milk was served in schools and there were zero slums.

It's present state is appauling. Goa's garden lined roads, so called 24 hr power & water and school midday meal scheme is 4 decades behind Nairobi of the late 60's.
Goa too had no slums even in the late 70's.

Having watched the program, the characters/fixers, I think Goa can easily relate to that.

Everything from funds being corrupted in the name of children (imagine that!), AIDS and even daily wage...Politicians and their cronies here too seem to have the same slick tongues and greedy attitude.

I think Vaman would have been the perfect actor for the new TV commercial of Lee Jeans.
