Excellent Article Mr. Philip. Hope the Karnataka Govt. Opens its eyes and takes the right decisions, unlike UP and Assam. Also Udipi district admn.
A wonderful article on current situation backed by facts and statistics and the topic widely being discussed. Author has also touched upon de-growth in Europe. May be such headlines by politicians are used tor diverting attention from burning issues and pandemic effects. Only developing countries have high ratio population growth, though not all. While current ruling is advocating for population control, their ring leaders calling hindus to produce more! What a biased thought process. Today, irrespective of religion couples are having one or two kids mostly with exception. If we think in secular manner all is going to be fine. Such policies may divide India and may trigger negative growth due to disharmony amongst communities and that s what political think tanks target I guess. In general I would sum up that its a wrong strategy(sly) at such a difficult pandemic time.
Itis indeed great pleasure to great Mr Valeran Noronha oa ia a workholic and he will not rest until takes the projects to logical ends. So there is no hesitation that the club will rise to new heights of glory. I wish him and his team all the best and look forward to read their performance through the columns of Belle vision vepiry eagerly. Wishing them goodluck again.

1.What we amazed me about the ‘We Belleans Help Group’ is the speed of the contributions pouring in. Four lakh rupees within a day is just mind-boggling.
Secondly, the number of households in Belle GP jurisdiction is said to be 1300 and the food kits distributed are 750. This means more than half the Belle population is in dire need. A record for people to move from middle class into poverty.
It is worthwhile, if a local researcher or the GP assumed the role of measurement of poverty and urge local body administrators to put in place poverty alleviation programs including work under MRNEGA.

The Congress Party workers have every right to protest the taxation policies of Modi-led BJP government and highlight their hypocrisy while in opposition.
The 2023 assembly elections are not far off. It is time for them to get your act together, win and form the government to change the situation./

Absolutely brilliant article! Sonia is non corrupt for sure! I was amazed to read her great work all done silently to some extent. It is media and some vested political interests portrayed her in negative light and big disregard towards her sacrifices too.
And the Now current rulers slogan is -We need wealth creators(helping few only!?) having little empathy with the unemployed rural folks.. Its one man party with mass followers...situation deteriorating and followers are sleeping instead of demanding changes! Tax is unbearably heavy and common man is getting crushed!.
Very interesting and informative article about Sonia Gandhi. Thanks to Philip Mudartha for his wonderful write up.
"Simple is stylish" Sonia Gandhi, the longest serving President of the Indian National Congress(over 20 yr s) has been described as one of most powerful politicians in the country. She was instrumental in formulating the UPA also responsible for implementation of right-based development and welfare schemes for the underprivileged citizens of India. Also introducing Right to Information Food Security Bill and of course MNREGA.
The legacy of Sonia Gandhi a champion of India s poor and downtrodden is well documented(described) by your article dear Philip Mudartha Sir, your in depth,long
Philip, read your article on Smt Sonia Gandhi. I had always thought Congress needed a Nehruvian to hold them together and Madam Sonia did just that. It was a revelation for me to read her achievements during UPA s rule. Salute to her.
A great article,which acknowledge the great forces behind social reforming policies in India.Most of the contemporary journalists failed to understand this and highlight it.Like Smt Sonia,Mr Rahul and Smt Priyanka also a kind of persons like their mother.
In my opinion,the blended characteristic of her western attitude and indian culture is her force behind her personality. Recently during the second wave of this pandemic we saw the importance of executing a socialist capitalistic unique model in India.The crony capitalism has been failed in all sectors.Present policy makers of india is trying to centralize everything by modeling USA.But USA acheived the success because of the good attitude and implementation of good values in their society.
In my opinion we should not try to overcome china by implementing crony policies..rather we should make policies for all the sectors invluding the marginalized people.Thus a sustainable India will emerge and stand in front of the world in which no one can beat her.....
Very well researched and humanely put together. She has had to endure way too much rabid racism and hindutva, the politically twisted narrative of a power hungry woman who wanted power for herself or her son. MMS having been a choice of a safe place holder for her son.
A true and real picturesque of Soniaji in her capacity as UPA chairperson and her contribution to the peaceful, trouble free and caring the poors. As Phillip Saab pointed out she didn t get required support even from her own party.
The visible changes in the recent incidents are alarming and seems heading towards a chaotic situation. Ket us hope and pray for the peaceful existence of all. Thank you Philip Saab for your lovely and factful writing, as usual.
Clear information on the person Soniaji sitanda for.During Dr.Manmohan Singh/ Sonia time there was tranquility in society.Corruption had gone on the roof and nedia highlighted it.We needed a change but not the One we see it today.
Wow! So beautiful balcony garden indeed! You are an encouragement to the people who are not able to go out especially at this time. May God bless you more as you continue to have the positive outlook despite of what’s going on in our world. Stay safe healthy dattu!

True! It’s complacency and incompetence!! Caught unprepared and kind of operations management failure having been through first wave, live example of UK s second wave of mutation version! Situation looks grim as of now and severe compared to first wave. Wonderful article! Thanks Philip for loads of insight and information.

Francis Sir’s love for the plants is seen in the pics ... The way he has maintained his garden is praiseworthy. Plants look healthy and full of life . It’s a reflection of Francis Sir who is also full of positive energy and his words always motivate others be it sports, gardening or in general - life. He should be rightly called as Dr. for plants in the way he explains about them how to take care and make them grow healthy. Thanks Sir for the wonderful article and inspiring others ..

Good to know that Francis Saldanha has continued his hobby of gardening in spite of his retirement and paucity of space in his balcony in Mangalore. It requires a lot of patience and care to set up a garden in the balcony. But Francis has shown how beautiful plants can be grown in limited space. Thanks Francis for sharing your experience and wonderful pictures.
Glad to see that former Karnataka MLC Ivan D’Souza visited Covid-19 positive patients who are on isolation at their homes, here on Friday, May 7th and helped whatever was possible and whoever was in need. God bless all who were involved. Wishing all a speedy recovery
This article gave me such a big smile! The plants and the article are both so beautiful. So happy to have read this. The plants look as lively as you always do, Uncle Francis! Thank you for this.
