I would title this article as THE TRAGEDY OF GOANS. Shoba De has touched many issues in this article but all these issues are not new we have been reading them over and over again , listening on BBC.CNN.NDTV etc but no action , only bombardment of words.
Goa has degenerated to the worst as the state is lawless /orderless and ordourless, we goans are to be blamed. The muscle and money power has take charge of all the issues in Goa and a common Goenkar is only Gazing up the sky or ready to take off to middleast or some European country , he/she are less bothered what is happening in and to Goans. As regards Fiona's case ,i blame the mother entirely for such neglect, irresponsibility and careless attitude , why is she waiting to name the people behind the murder now , why did she not name them before, as regards foreigners taking over the state , hatts off to them since our Goenkars are running out , if every goenkar is moving out there must be someone to come in for investment purposes. If outsiders have a sense of solidarity and unity whenever they invest in Goa , why can't Goenkars have the same sense? If outsiders can get positive returns from their investment in Goa why can't we invest and succeed in the same way , why why ? What is the problem with Goenkars , why criticise the outsiders when we Goenkars can't give back positive returns to our motherland , we are ready to settle down overseas and dictate terms as to why , what, how, which etc but not ready to change the mind set of Goenkars and the degrading situation in Goa. Let's act more and talk less. After witnessing the present scenario in Goa i strongly feel that we were better off under the portuguese rule, i don't blame the indian rule but most of the politicans have made a mess and mockery of the democratic system.
