Definitely not a good idea. It would give an excuse for malafide interests to argue that people fight communalism in Goa because "funds come in from overseas".
The time has long come for: 1. Every concerned citizen to fund the purchase of books that help themselves better understand the ideologies of hate, based on every religion and trend (and even non-religions!) 2. For every expat to work to comprehend the news-behind-the-news, and not to get taken in by hardsell that aims to give a gloss to dubious thoughts that fuel divisions and fear of one another. 3. For all people of goodwill to work to keep track of the debate that goes on in diverse languages, so that we are not lulled into believing that a communal polarisation is not happening, when indeed it is. Of course, every religion and ideology has its own bigots, and we need to be even handed in raising issues about these. I can't think of many persons who would do a Gadgil on bigots of their own (specially minority) religions, and it carries most credibility when we start with self-criticism. It is very easy to criticise The Other, I guess.
