To:
Dr. A.P.J. ABDUL KALAM,
Honorable PRESIDENT OF INDIA
We, the undersigned citizens of Goa State, users of KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT, crave your Excellencys indulgence and seek your Excellencys kind favourable initiatives, to grant recognition to KONKNNI, in ROMAN SCRIPT, also side by side with KONKNNI, in Devanagiri Script, which stands recognised as the Official Language of the State of Goa.
The difference is only in the SCRIPT, and not in the LANGUAGE. There exists
enormous literature and work of Scholars in KONKNNI language, but in ROMAN
SCRIPT.
As a remarkable contribution to ROMAN SCRIPT KONKNNI, the world famous Khel Teatr of Goa, exclusively produced, rehearsed, and presented to people, can be cited and claimed.
The origin of KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT dates back to 6th SEPTEMBER 1556 when KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT was first presented at the then College of St. Paul at Old Goa (only the PORTAL of the then famous College now exists as a remnant of a HERITAGE MONUMENT, as such proclaimed on the ASIs Boards
installed in front of the Portal for information of tourists and local people, particularly for the new generation). It is remarkable that the FIRST PRINTING PRESS heralded KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT. The first book in KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT, DOUDRINA CRISTA, was published between 1556 and 1561. Such is the HERITAGE of KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT, Sir.
European Missionaries had produced the ROMAN SCRIPT, for the purpose of
communicating with people of Goa then. The Goa Church Scriptures, Prayers, and Rites are in KONKNNI language but EXCLUSIVELY in ROMAN SCRIPT.
Census 1991 had disclosed 29.86\% Christians in the State of Goa, and we can
unhesitatingly claim that the 29.86\% of the population in Goa State used,
and are using KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT, which brings the 29.86\% Christians
under the purview of the PROVISION of Article 347 of the Constitution of
India: "...a substantial proportion of the population of a State desire
the use of language spoken by them to be recognised...."
Your Excellency, therefore there exists incontrovertible evidence of widespread use of KONKNNI in ROMAN SCRIPT by 29.86\% or more of the population of Goa State.
Sir, please satisfy the legitimate aspirations of this large "proportion of the population in the State of Goa", and Goans living outside Goa, all over the world, as contemplated in the Article 347 of the Constitution of India.
In support of this petition, we sign on the enclosures to this petition.
Yours gratefully,
FOR AGCCSJA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

277. John Desa Doha Qatar Roman Script Konkanni books have been printed and in circulation since mid 16th Century. Konkanni and Goa are linked to each other. Goa has given 7 Martyrs for Konkanni. They have died for none other script, but Roman. I beleive any language can be written in any script. However, without prejudice and with due respect to all Konkanni speakers who read/write in other scripts ie. Devnagri, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, etc, Konkanni in Roman Scrpit must be recognized.

106. Winston da Costa Ontario & Goa Canada & India I do speak Konkanni fluently and am fluent in its various accents. I also do write Konkanni in the Devnagari script besides Roman script. However, there is a large population of Goans who have mostly been exposed to Konkanni in the Roman script or for some reason have not had the privilege of learning the Devnagari script. In this new era of acknowledging the contributions of non-resident indians to the economy and culture of India and its regions, it is only fair not to make a large section of patriotic Indians feel alienated just because their particular script for writing their mother tongue is not recognised.
105. ZACHARY DSOUZA ONTARIO CANADA I am a Goan by origin and live in Canada. I would love to see Konkani written in Roman Script. A request from my heart.

If English is goining to continue being spoken/written in India as it should, then Konkani should be scriped in Roman- come on lets be honest,how many people remember to write devnagri once they finish college?

43. GODFREY J I GONSALVES GOA INDIA It was much before the formation of the Konknni Porjecho Avaz(Sept 1985) , i.e. on 21.11.1981 that a 10 member (majority of the Hindu Brahmin community ) which iincluded M/s Ravindra KELEKAR, Uday L BHEMBRE (Adv) Dr Manoharrai L SARDESSAI Mr Bakibab BORKAR Dr D SUKTHANKAR , (from Goa) N Purushottam MALLYA (Kerala)then on the Advisory Board for Konknni Sahitya Academy at New Delhi, India that unanimously resolved without the knowledge of Konknni speaking people that Devanagari will be the natural script for Konknni as earlier postulated by Adv Madhav Manjunath Shanbag (a native of Mangalore ) in 1939 at the 1st All India Konknni Parishad held then in Karwar Karnataka India. This spelt the death knell for all other scripts viz Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu scripts of Konknni Hence it is incumbent GOANS worldwide demand UNITY IN LANGUAGE DIVERSITY IN SCRIPTS. Without Roman script being accorded official status Governments (Centre / State) does not give budgetary support by way of grants nor employment

29. Silviano Barbosa Ontario Canada Goan Catholics born before 1961 can only write Konknni in Romi script and need not be forced to express themselves in Devanagri script to be officially accepted for their literary works. Dont take away their right to express themselves in Romi script. They also deserve to be officially recognized and rewarded for their works expressed in Konkanni in Romi script too just like in Devanagri script.
