Hi folks!

Don't you people notice the thread of intolerance common to all these posts? 
What these handful of Goans settled abroad want is a pristine (read 
primitive) Goa where they can throw their weight around and flaunt their 
goodies during vacations and in retirement. They don't mind having a few 
white-skinned guys around to share drinks at the local bar, but they don't 
want any locals who are smarter than them around.

And that's their main grouse:  India made these "country cousins" smarter, 
better educated and more prosperous than these NRIs expected them to be 
through universal education and liberal subsidies. The "village bumpkins" 
are no longer awed by their expensive suits, fancy gizmos and yankee 
accents. How can they tolerate it?

Please note that I'm talking of SOME NRI Goans with deep-seated complexes 
and not of the majoirty of them like Eddie and Mario.

Cheers,
RKN
