The people of Moira are working to keep the bhaile and the Ghantis out.
We have enough of those in two "Fucot Nagars" in Moira. The Acron people are
putting up a mega project intended for the bhailland the 'goras' (Locals
can't afford Rs. 2.5 cr per bungalow) which is being opposed by the Moira
Action Committee. Frankly, would you want Ghanttis cluttering your door
step? Please treat the presence of Ghanttis in Goa as equivalent to that of
Indians in America and UK - They are needed by the locals yes, but they are
not wanted.

Dear Tony,
1) Will you kindly explain what all measures are being taken by the
people of Moira to keep the bhaile and the Ghantis out.
While you are at it please define:
a) 'the people of Moira' - does this include a majority of the
electorate of Moira?
b) 'bhlaile' - Does this include all outsiders? Or only Indians? Or
Bollywood starlets? Or migrant workers?
c) 'Ghantis' - Does this refer to natives of the Western ghats or any
non-Goan Indians?
2) What exactly is a 'Fucot Nagar'? Where are the two in Moira? In
whose property?
3) How does Celina's purchase of a house connect to Ghantis and Fucot Nagar?
4) Is your opposition to the Acron project only because locals can't
afford to buy or are there more valid reasons? The affordability
reasoning would mean most luxury items and services in Goa should be
banned because the locals can't afford it.
5) What are 'goras'? Foreigners? Whites? Caucasians? Fair skinned
people? Thiose who use Fair & Lovey? Those who use tacum powder?
6) Are you sure that Indians in the America and UK are needed but not wanted?
7) What exactly is your objection to Celina buying and refurbishing a
house in Moira?
8) Who sold the house to Celina?
Awaiting your replies.
Cheers!
Cecil
