Hi Elisabeth: You're slanting the debate by saying, "We are given to understand that migration into Goa is not an issue in Goa."
Nobody has said this. It *is* a huge issue in Goa, as in almost all other parts of the globe. It is just a few voices who are questioning whether these issues are the ones that *really* matter, or red herrings meant to distract attention from other more pressing problems -- as the Shiv Sena has been effectively doing for the last four decades in Bombay/Mumbai. It's quite another matter that the case against regional chauvinism -- even if supported by only a very few -- has some strong arguments, which are hard to counter when you're taking on this issue at a rational level. I hope you will accept what I'm saying, without meaning to be offensive.
