re: What exactly can anybody do to stop (say for example) the entire population of Bihar from migrating to Goa?

If i may use an anlogy, the US of A too has regions which have economic disparity. no US citizen needs any special permit to migrate into any other state. Does that mean that thousands of poor people from say alabama or arkansas or texas can merely squat on any NYC street? can they merrily shit and pee wherever they feel like ? can they operate businesses with impunity from any sidewalk? [2] Who is stopping CCP in panaji from strictly enforcing laws? general candeth? bhau? tai? nehru? more likely its babush , a niz goenkaar...or maybe even parrikar... we can do the following: [3] refuse to be blinkered in our vision and vote in people who are relatively more honest than the others.. [4] refuse to let outsiders tell us who is communal and who is secular..more often than not these purveyors of falsehoods have their own twisted agenda jc's response: Dear Bhandare, re #1: Interesting that you should bring up the USA which strongly respects the individual property rights i.e. No Mundkar Act. In the US - try staying in an apartment a day after your lease is up, and see what happens In India - try getting a tenant out 10 years after his lease is up. In the US - try putting a tent on someone else's field. In India - try getting him out (especially if he bribes a Sarpanch and gets a certificate that he was there for 1 year) re #2: I do not know the answer to that question. A few years ago, some anarchists went on a rampage in Fontainhas in Panjim. Manohar Parrikar played Pontius Pilate and did nothing. As I believe Manohar Parrikar is an efficient man and even he stayed silent. From that I deduce that nothing can be done. re #3 and #4: Please see answers to #1 and #2 supra good wishes jc Here is an article which I found interesting http://www.colaco.net/1/EthelGangRapeAltinho.htm
