<Goan protest is a very complex phenomenon>[FN] OK so there are a whole lot of sore spots which when poked result in an "ouch" from the body politic at some time or other. But why is the threshold of pain so perceptibly low? Is there little or no concern for what a constant state of agitation is doing to the state's reputation and/or well being? There may need to be a more subdued and truly optimistic sense of "we shall overcome" (based on some accepted articulation of priorities) instead of the knee jerk paranoia which seems to prevail currently.
