Re: In To-day's Newspapers
I am sorry if I have misunderstood you.
The point I wanted to make was that Aid and company donations are very different things and come from different sources. I must make it very clear that I do not in any way belittle the 15 million donation to Great Ormond Street and I certainly did not say that in my post.
I think that we perhaps do agree that corruption is a major problem in India and I only hope that enough people oppose it to make a change. I am aware of course that most Indians do not commit infanticide or murder young wives. Many activists are doing sterling work in challenging the mind set of the people that do these things, however, I am shocked that many people appear to accept it without a lot of thought.
Hope that clarifies things

Ruskin you have completely misunderstood my post. I support the letter I just suggested not using those two particular names. I am British my husband is Indian we pay taxes in the UK, we also have a home in India as you do.
Regarding the £15 million donation to Great Ormond Street you may belittle it but those such as ourselves with a grandchild who had open heart surgery in infancy (and given a normal life) for such money we give profound and grateful thanks.
As for corruption, ordinary Indians can only try but when it is from above downwards, ie from government there is not a great deal they can do. My husband's community has no dowry tradition, girl babies are equally, indeed very much, welcomed and equally educated. What do you suggest that we should do?

Thank you Ruskin
The problem with corruption is that it is self perpetuating. Sometimes you have to pay the money to get something essential done, e.g. paying the person who made the careless mistakes on your property Deed money to correct it!! and countless other examples in everyday life.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
The GAURI software was deployed at pilot office at Mapusa on 10 th July 2008
All the rest of the registration process took the traditional form with lots of photocopying, application of photo's, notarisation, writing, signing, initialling, inky finger printing and (I believe) provision of 'chai-pani'.
Anyone know more?

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
According to the Goa govt website
When I tried to get my deeds registered in April 2008 there was some new computer system - you had to fill in an additional form (and maybe an extra copy of your documents - I don'r remember exactly), anyway it all seemed to be treated as a bit of a joke. It was explained to me that it allowed the information to be sent to the Mamlatdar's office to allow your Form I/XIV to be prepared automatically - only it wouldn't be!
All the rest of the registration process took the traditional form with lots of photocopying, application of photo's, notarisation, writing, signing, initialling, inky finger printing and (I believe) provision of 'chai-pani'.

UK Flight Tax likely to jeopardise tourism flow to India
17 Jul: TravelBiz Monitor. The UK government’s move to increase Air Passenger Duty (APD) levied on passengers flying out of UK from November 2010 is likely to affect the forthcoming inbound season in India in a big way. APD to India will increase from £50 in Economy Class to £75 and from £100 in Business Class to £150 ... the effect is likely to reduce charter flights to Goa...

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Purely out of interest (as I am no longer an Expat!), I would say this clearly states that the Goan Government has been obliged to officially stop blocking registration of sales and purchases by foreign nationals who comply with the required terms and conditions. It is an acceptance that their behaviour for the past two years was illegal, as has often been said on this forum!
Will this mean that all the problems disappear overnight? Highly unlikely! There will probably be a long delaying tactic while "notifications" take place (as always Goan politicians/officials will deny all awareness of something that is common knowledge and in all the papers as they have not been "notified").
This protracted period will then probably be used to come up with a different blocking tactic, we already know it doesnt matter if its illegal as it will take at least two years for it to be declared so!
On the other hand, all might be fine from Monday morning and all property owners will get a personal invitation from Kishore to register or sell there properties along with a large cheque as compensation fror the delays and suffering incurred?

This has made me so mad - why on earth do they take money from those injured who have risked their lives for us in Afganistan, and give to immigrants who come over here to live.
