GOA IS ON SALE.
On 19th November last year during my vacation in Goa, I was invited by the
organizers to address a public meeting at Moira where Mathanay Saldanha,
Victoria Fernandes, Nirmala Sawant, Maharastra Bar Council Member Adv.
Antonio Lobo, Dr. Boney, members of different political parties, NGO
representatives and many others seated at the dais, attended and addressed
the gathering. Florian Lobo of Suuraj Party as a leading person behind this
public meeting was compering the proceedings. One of the speakers while
delivering his speech stated that according to my confirmed information,
one rich party in Maharastra gave an instruction to his representative in
Goa to purchase any land available for sale anywhere in Goa. This was
shocking news for me and for all Goa lover Goans like me. When my turn came
to address the meeting, I, while referring to this disturbing statement,
described the gathered people how Goa is in the process of another Palestine
making not by the Jews scattered all over the globe but by the non-Goans who
like real Jews, coming to Goa and with the help of our Christian and Hindu
local politicians from BJP & Congress parties purchasing Goan lands and
properties and becoming naturalized Goans. In this way they are capturing
every part of Goa and altering demographic structure of Goa. In late
nineteenth century with the backing of Britain, Jews had their Council in
Basle, Switzerland where they discussed and decided to have them their own
homeland and in the name of Biblical statement of Chosen People by God and
Promised Land they took a decision to make Arab Palestine as their homeland
by uprooting local peace loving Palestinian Arabs from their lands,
settlements and residences. The process then of dePalestianisation of
Palestine started in the beginning of 20th century by way of purchasing the
Palestinian lands by the Jews coming from all around the globe mainly the
West and Africa. The Jews coming to Palestine were very skillful,
intelligent, crooks, cunnings, murderers, traitors, ruthless, hard hearted
as against docile Palestinians and financially richer than Palestinian
Arabs. By the time the last world war got over good portion of Palestine
was purchased by the Jews and thus they became the owners of Palestine. This
helped them to capture full control of Palestine in the process of
establishment of the State of Israel. Later on it is history.
Now coming back to Goa. Our greatest misfortune was not the fact that
Portugal ruled over us till 19th December 1961, our greatest misfortune was
not Nehrus Bharat annexed Goa by force without taking into consideration
the opinion of Goans who mattered the most. Our greatest misfortune was that
in the first general election in Goa MGP came to power and Bandodkar became
the Chief Minister of Goa. From here all our ills started because MGP under
the leadership of Bandodkar decided to deGoanise Goa. The day MGP got the
majority of Seats in the Goa Assembly Election that very first day the
deGoanisation process started in full swing and this process was directed
especially against Christians in Goa. MGP and Bandodkar including all his
MLAs started showing dislike for Goa, its culture, its tradition, its
language, Christians and everything that is genuine Goan. The illegitimate
Son of Goa started legitimizing everything and everyone illegitimate in Goa.
That Bandodkar came on the political scene of Goa and became Chief
Minister of Goa was the only historical mistake that happened in Goa. The
current chief minister of Goa Mr. Rane was Bandodkars colleague and
supporter and being so he is following into the footsteps of his mentor
Bahuji. This Rane will never do anything good for Goa and Goans. He
dislike Goans, he dislike Christians as did Bandodkar and for this reason he
got married to a non-Goan girl and on top of it is taking pride in non-Goan
wife whose real interests are antiGoan and anti-Goa and in this direction
she is pushing her already anti-Goan husband whose ancestry is deeply
embedded in Maharastra/Gujarat.
Dayananda Bandodkar before the first general election in Goa had a secret
meeting, as per the reports available then, with Maharastra leaders to
liquidate Goa as Goa, liquidate Konkani as a language and totally diminish
the influence of Christians in Goa. In this direction he after becoming
the Chief Minister inducted deputationists and Maharastrians into Goas
administration who implanted in our clean, upright and decent administration
and decent way of life everything corrupt. In front of me once he took
pride in talking in Marathi with Pankar proving to me that Marathi is more
superior to Konkani. He allowed the Maharastrians and other non-Goans to
take foothold of Goa and today these very non-Goans and their children in
Goa are dictating terms to us. Bandodkar and his MGP made easy for
non-Goans not only to purchase Goa but also to swallow gradually the entire
Goa and the same thing they and their children are doing now in Goa. The
corruption in uncorrupt Goa was introduced in Goa by the deputationists,
Maharastrians and Malyalis brought in Goa by Bandodkar and his MGP. The
bribing and sex scandal culture thereby degrading morality in public life
was inducted firmly in Goa by the bribery prone non Goans and sex maniacs
from Maharastra, Kerala, Delhi and other parts of Bharat. The gangsters and
criminals coming from Maharastra, Kerala and other parts of Bharat were
allowed freedom to act freely in Goa by MGP and Bandodkar. The first top
criminal in post-Portuguese period in Goa was a non-Goan, Kumar by name and
who was later on hanged at Aguada. When he was hanged, popular Kuwait
tiatrists Tony Call rendered a beatiful song in Kuwait giving full details
of the crime and Kumar.
Today the Goa that we are witnessing is no more what it was earlier.
Outsiders are become kings and queens in Goa, they are capitalizing on the
weaknesses of Goans. They are coming to Goa as slaves and gradually
becoming masters in our lands. Kashmiris are coming to Goa in big number
now. In Mapusa near the market place, in one big field near the Petrol Pump,
one more market place is appeared where the Kashmiris and other North
Indians have purchased lands there and shopping places with exorbitantly
high prices from Goans and they are doing all sorts of businesses there and
we Goans and tourists are buying all sorts of goods from them and fattening
their purses. The Kashmiris coming from disturbed Kashmir are increasing
their number in Goa tremendously, they are rich and smart. In coastal areas
they not only have taken foothold of our lands and properties but also of
our girls who with the lure of good money flirt with them and other
non-Goans while our Church leaders are doing nothing worthwhile. If this
situation is not arrested now then I am afraid Goa may turn out to be
another disturb arear. In the Ferryboats while crossing from Panjim to
Betim, in Buses plying from Calangute to Panjim and Mapusa and other places
you find nobody except non-Goans and they are acting as if they are the
owners of Goa. Our gangsters, our local Christian and Hindu politicians are
fit only to frighten us and rob us while non-Goans are finishing us. Our
leading and ruling politicians are looking everything silently because they
are getting their bribes handsomely. While deGoanisation process is going
on in full swing my non-Christian brothers who earlier in bigger number
supporting MGP are becoming more alert and conscious now, they are now
feeling the sense of insecurity and getting closer to Christians who have
done yeomen services for the cause of protection of Goa, its identity,
history and tradition. Goa can be easily saved only if both the communities
think and work together for the protection of Goa. In the past many of the
battles for the cause of Goa were won only when a good number of
non-Christians joined hands with Christians in common cause. I am happy
that many of my non-Christian brothers who formerly siding and patronizing
non-Goans, during my last visit to Goa were telling me to raise my voice
and do my writings in support of the protection of Goa. If the
intellectually low level non-Christians were to act properly earlier, Goa
would have been a haven for Goans. If United Goans Party had to win the
first general Election in Goa under the leadership of Dr. Jack Sequeia
things would have been better for all the communities in Goa irrespective of
their relious affinity. On the contrary, MGP was treated as the party of
Hindus and UGP of Christians and Nehru's Congress of Hindu Saraswats.
Overwhelming majority of the MGP supporters had their anchestry in
Maharastra. Those who call themselves as Goans but have their ancestry
beyond the borders of Goa will never show patriotism for Goa and its causes.
While concluding it is my request to every expatriate Goan not to sell
his/her land, ancestral houses and properties, not even Khomttis to anyone
even if they are lured with high profit. Christian Goans should take more
note of this because they are become more guilty in selling their lands to
non-Goans with high profits. The day Bharati army entered Goa forcefully,
the entire Goa was into the hands of Goan Bhatkars mainly the Christians.
But gradually instead of developing and creating something there on their
lands, they started selling it to non-Goans and to our enemies from Goa
itself. Similarly in this transaction our Catholic church also got involved
by selling cheaply the prime lands of "Confrarias". Many of the West
settled Christian Goans are guilty of this sacrilege against their mother
land and some of them are hawling abuses thru internet on non-Goans settled
in Goa. Land is fixed and it will finish fast from our hands if we dispose
it off to non-Goans. Those Goans who can afford to purchase Goan lands from
abroad, they should do so. Expatriate Goans can help in the protection of
Goa by way of not selling their lands and properties to non Goans. Our
identity is our land, however small and shabby it may be. After all it is
ours.
