We get information about the return of certain people to Goa by
the arrival of a fresh load of ordure in our inboxes.

It's not just the prejudice and bigotry that is on display -- in
fact, by now I have developed a certain admiration about the
way these attributes are proudly and shamelessly flaunted, as a
kind of badge of honour, to an extent that even Bal Thackeray is
yet to match. "Admire me, I'm more bigoted and abusive than
anybody else," seems to be the mantra here. Truly, nirlajjam sada
sukhi!

They say in a pithy proverb in Marathi (which happens to be the
mother tongue of this particular ghati), 'Hagnara tari lajto
nahi tar baghnara tari lajto' (if the defecator isn't embarrassed,
the watcher is). Well, in the role of 'baghnara', the person who
writes these posts seems to be unfazed and, leave alone feeling
embarrassed, is perpetually heading out in search of more
'hagnaras'. Verily, seek and ye shall find -- in unlimited
quantities, at every turn, all the time. You'll even find yourself
dreaming about it if you persist...

The posts themselves are repellent and abusive loads of crap
about, predictably, shit! But I, as a 'baghnara' in this case, am
by now acutely embarrassed at this outpouring of effluvium and am
in future just going to be pressing the delete button when such
mails appear. In any case, this particular psychological problem
seems to be so deep-rooted that it is more deserving of pity than
censure, and bothering to respond is just a waste of time. But
here are some links that may cast some light on the
problem and maybe help to alleviate it:
