Dear Goans,
I am grateful to Mario Rodrigues for taking the time and effort to reply to
my initial mail.I would be obliged if more of you send in your constructive
criticism and/or suggestions.I need to know how many of you agree/disagree
with my core ideas outlined in the original mail.
As far as the methods to achieve the objective of making Goa a model state
are concerned,I have a clear plan/plans and they do not necessarily involve
forming a new political party ( as Mario assumed ) or for that matter none
of us need to get directly involved in politics.I shall reveal details of my
strategy as we go along ( and depending on how much response I get from
Goanet readers.......my concern is that Goa Net is a very valuable forum
which is deteriorating into a platform for voicing differences in personal
beliefs,religious and ideological leanings,political stances and worst of
all conflicts between individuals on a 1 to 1 basis.....when we could
potentially use it to address the central issue----WHAT CAN WE DO TO CHANGE
OUR MOTHERLAND OF GOA ---before it is too late.
Meanwhile,a few details about myself :
1)I am a highly political conscious individual BUT with nil political
ambitions ( i.e. I understand the politics and the social scenario in Goa
pretty well but will never get drawn into entering politics in terms of
holding an official post however remotely connected to Goan administration )
2)I am in my early 40's, a first generation immigrant living in a western
country ,well settled in terms of my personal and professional life. I have
however spent the first half of my life in Goa and owe whatever I am today
to this gem of a land and SHALL NOT let it be raped and plundered.
3)I am a believer in God but not in any particular religion ( on the other
hand I respect and understand those of us who are affiliated to any
particular faith or religion...even fanatically so )
4)I have no specific political affiliation ( but once again respect those
who do )
5)I am open minded (to the extreme) to all suggestions and
criticisms......all I want is for those of you whose core personal agenda is
the betterment of Goa to help me .
6)Above all,i am an extremely determined person ( which makes up for the
fact that i am not highly intelligent or affluent or influential like many
others who have attempted a similar exercise in terms of the Goan dream )
At the risk of sounding "cliched"....I dream with my eyes open.
PLEASE respond to me on Goa Net...or if necessary in confidence to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Luv and regards,
Arjun Eklawya Sadiq-Saldanha
