The last time I checked, which was a few days ago, Goa was still a part of India, and any Indian could live and work there. Non-Goans are filling jobs that Goans refuse to do. I also happen to know several non-Keralites who have migrated to Kerala and opened businesses there, so it's hardly "impossible". > >From Vagator to Palolem I can confirm that Goa is a thriving resort area, and has all the faults and strengths of any Indian enclave, including the ever-present "corruption" that greases the skids throughout India. I looked long and hard for the infamous piles of garbage and saw no more than what one would expect anywhere else in India. In fact, some parts of Goa are cleaner than I can remember in any previous visit. > The food, drink and personal warmth are still incomparable. > My advice to the naysayers, especially the ones in the diaspora who don't even live there, is "No one but you cares about your paranoia about non-Goans. Get over it. There is still plenty of land and opportunity, especially in any areas that cater to the thriving hospitality industry. Please, join the Goan boom, or shut the hell up, with all due respect of course!" > >
