Leader of Opposition
Constituency No/Name: 34 - Cuncolim
This House unanimously and strongly recommends that the contents on "The Chieftains of Cuncolim” be introduced at the appropriate stage in the school and college curriculum consequent on the decision of the Government of Goa to celebrate 15th July 1583 (Cuncolim Revolt) as the National War Memorial Day. The Gaonkar's of Cuncolim stood up to the colonial powers boycotting the colonial decrees and registered their protests by not paying any revenue to the Government centuries before similar protests and boycotts got popularized as the “non- cooperation movement”. These deeds of courage, valiant struggle and sacrifices of Goan's and specially the people of Cuncolim should be learnt and taught as part of Goa’s political struggle against colonial powers strictly as historical facts without fanning xenophobia of any kind.

Concerns in the Minds of the People to the prevalence of unjust customs of widow discrimination, widow abuse and widow isolation in the State. Though there are no registered complaints, the isolation, discrimination and abuse is taken for granted as part of custom, tradition and religious or social practice. A few Village Panchayats in Goa have taken resolutions against such outdated and inhuman customs stating that the widow should be treated on par with Married Woman. Steps be taken in co-ordination with Department of Panchayats and Goa State Women’s Commission to convene Gram Sabhas of Village Panchayats to express solidarity with widow and boost the confidence of all women against such obsolete and archaic practices and mind-set prevailing in the community. Government should contemplate on bringing a Law to stop such unjust practices.
