Precisely, crooks have been ruling Goa because the act
of Democracy is a failure. Should partial democracy be
installed in Goa? Our 'think tanks' discuss issues on
this forum which have no relevance to Goa.

Dear Bernardo,
Its over FORTY YEARS since liberation, and Goa has made huge strides in
progress. Goa is nowhere where it was before liberation, and I just cannot
comprehend your thoughts. In a democracy, the government is one chosen by the
people for the people, so where does your friend Nehru come in the picture?
Democracy is not a failure in Goa, in fact, it is one of the great success
stories ever. Sadly it is the fault of the Goan masses when they willingly
choose to elect the representatives they have.
I think its time for all Goans to forget their dreams of Portuguese rule, and
go on forward from there. Like I said earlier, Goa has progressed
tremendously, and if one compare and goes into details I can say that the
progress that Goa achieved in the last 40 years is definitely more than what
happenned in the 100 years before liberation. Let us see the positives and
avoid being pessimistic. See the improvement in educational facilities,
productive industry, among so many other areas where there has been an
advancement. And instead of always complaining, let us do something to
encourage our fellow Goans to do something better.
regards
salus
