Dear all, I have been keenly following the 'GOA FOR GOANS' line of thought, its pros and cons. And I would like to contribute my two bits towards the same.
Goa has had 450 years of Portuguese rule sans corruption, sans manipulations, sans the race towards building vote banks. Goa's liberation saw the Indian so called democratic rule aka self-governance for the last 45 years. This Indian/self-governance rule has outdone the good that was built for the last 450 years in just 45 years. To stop this, which will inevitably destroy Goa completely by making it another Bihar or Gujarat, the helm of Goa's governance must be held in firm hands of Goans, not by Goans dictated to by the national parties like the Congress, the BJP, the NCP or the Janata Party etc. I am talking about Goa's own regional party. The concept of Goa for Goans must be forgotten once and for all. Goa must be made secure under Goa's rule so that outsiders feel really secure to settle down in Goa and prosper, fully knowing that they will enjoy total harmony and peace through the emergence of the RULE OF LAW. In other words, Goa does not need the Portuguese, but needs the Portuguese type disciplined Rule like never before with real Goans in its command and not Goan chamchas of the national parties. It cannot be Goa for Goans. It must be GOANS FIRST.
