1. 44 years post the Invasion / Liberation of Goa : Tell Goans how much
money has been paid for organising the numerous defections between political
parties; in other words - How come the politicians get richer while the
people are struggling. (TGF)
2. Are Goans liberated? - The question is: Are Goans truly liberated?
TGF says: NO!
3. The Big Let down - Goa and Goans would just have been used as pawns in a
political process, their land for the generation of wealth for everybody but
Goans.... and eventually dumped. Nil else (TGF)
4. Goa's Anjediva - Bit by bit, New Delhi has been chipping away at Goa.
First it was the Dabolim civilian airport that was converted into a military
airport, followed by the Beach front that has been, and continues to be
raped by the concrete jungle called "tourist facilities"; not to forget jobs
at all Goa Government offices that have been denied to appropriately
qualified Goans.
Since 1961, Goa continues to become infested by crime, corruption, filth
and chaos; most of which appears to have been imported from outside Goa, or
encouraged by events at the centre in New Delhi.
For the record, despite 55 years of Independence from the British and huge
surpluses of grain and dollars, India is sliding from one multi-billion
dollar scam into another. All this while the infra-structure for basic
health and welfare has gone to the dogs, err to the flies.
Now comes a new shock to the Goan system.
The OLDEST Catholic Church with Goan links has been declared out of bounds
for worshippers after May, 2003. (TGF)
5. Oh Dabolim ! : The year is 1955. Nehru's blockade has started taking
effect. The Portuguese governor, Gen. Paulo Bénard-Guedes, is quite
concerned about the provision of vital supplies to the local populace and
their security. The only modes of transport from Goa to the outside world
and to Damão and Diu are via sea and air. (Gabriel de Figueiredo)
6. Goa in need of a third liberation : to deliver us from the all-pervasive
corruption, plummeting public values and gross misgovernance. Amen!
