While I could not find current statistics on the ratio of Goans to non-Goans in Goa, it appears looking around that one out three people in Goa are non-Goans. If this demographic trend continues, Goa might be the first state in a few years where Goans are a minority in their own land. Bengalis are still a majority in Bengal, Tamilians in Tamilnad, Keralites in Kerala - by a large proportion.
Don't be surprised in a few years when Goans IN Goa are addressed as follows: "So, you are a Goan, how unusual". I leave it to the sociologists to analyze this unique phenomenon. However, will Goans suffer the same fate as minorities - will their rights be at stake? Regards, George
