The mistake I think too many people are making is thinking that Kamat's intentions are good until proven otherwise. The track record clearly indicates that they are bad. It is on this assumption that we have to proceed. Also, GBA's approach is a little too 'middle-class' -- all this endless meetings and discussions, in which they can keep you occupied for ever. It is time once again for a demonstration of people's power, like the 18th December Azad Maidan binge. Rajan's suggestion of using the inaugural of IFFI is very good. Make a mess of it, have a massive morcha and paralyse Panjim. This is the showcase event for the government, there is going to be lots of media here, let the world see that there is a problem in Goa, which the people are no longer going to take lying down. It is necessary in all this to steer clear of politicians. They are ALL the same. Whoever is in opposition now will support this as a matter of convenience, at least tacitly as they did last year, only to turn around and do exactly the same once they are in power. Let us not forget that it was Manohar Parrikar who pushed SEZs, the regional plan, and many of our more horrible projects when he was in power. On this matter, there is no difference between any of the politicians, and we should avoid them all. -- Question everything -- Karl Marx
