[Goanet]testing time for overseas goans

[michael iglesias]

To all the websites as regards Goa is concerned be it 
UK/USA/NAIROBI/TANZANIA/MOMBASSA/ETC.ETC.

As one can read the articles from the goans overseas wherever they are 
through various webs, I want to ask goans all over the world why can't we 
organise a good political party in goa with the help of all those goans 
overseas and change goa for better, a better place tolive in for our next 
generations to come . With the help of all the goans overseas form a young 
overseas political party get the go getters on the forefront of Goa until 
now it was the old guards who saw and see only for themselves and not for 
goa, a few developments here and there they think we goans are ignorant we 
cant distinguish right and wrong, and we goans overseas are flying our flag 
high outside goa and we can't do anything for goa. The notion of wine dance 
and folklore will always remain but what about employment/ influx of 
outsiders/ outsiders contesting panchayat or some low elections and one day 
they will rule us and amchear bonkar font, before it is too late let's do 
something now otherwise a day will come when our grandchildren/children will 
ask us can we go to GOA and then we may have to explain to them that it no 
longer belongs to us .I have read so many articles on newspapers through 
Navhind times, Oherald , transfers are done by the CM of Goa but if you read 
the best posts are for Hindus and the rest catholics, we goans may be termed 
as sussegad in Goa but overseas we are topmost not sussegad but doing very 
well for our selves, we have committees sub committes be it in 
Kuwait/abhudabi/dubai/USA/UK./Canada, etc, but sorry we come to goa only for 
holidays since it is a place to relax , but excuse me Madam/Sir, can you 
please help in making Goa a better place to live in from what it is going 
today ?

If Goa is to do well it is only with the help of all the goan overseas, 
float a new party with all youngsters intelligent who know the jobs, in the 
field of Politics/economics/history/culture/developement and show to the 
world that time has come for change of guard from old to new and young, not 
those with one leg in the grave and one on the banana skin.

Last but not the least I am proud to be a goan not because of Culture 
language or our history alone but because my father and mother were born 
during the portuguese regime in Goa and no doubt Iam proud to speak and 
write portuguese but love my mother tongue konkani too and believe it or not 
being an indian and possessing and indian passport may give you entry with 
difficulty in india at Bombay airport or other parts of India , but 
possessing a Portuguese passport  can fly without difficulty . which is 
better you decide?
