In December 1961, Goa was liberated from the Portuguese through the Conquest of Goa by India. We were conquered. Liberated from the Portuguese but Conguered by India. We Goans were eiither too susegard or too inebriated to fight for our freedom. Promises by Nehru to maintain the unique identity of Goa a la Kashmir, were not kept .Non-Kashmiri Indians cannot acquire land in Kashmir but anyone can buy land in Goa. Slowly but surely the Goan identity is being diluted, and the sons of Goa are largely to be blamed for selling their ancestral homes to Delhiites and other foreigners. Our elected officials are also to be blamed for facilitating the process of selling off Goa to enrich themselves. Communidade lands have been usurped by the Government and sold off to Industrialists enriching primarily the elected officials who arrange these deals. Sadly this is the state of affairs in Goa today.
