Dear Selma, Thanks for stating the truth as it is. It is NOT the "bhaile" who are destroying Goa and the Goans but the likes of Manohar Parrikar ..... who divide Goans on religion and caste, favour their own kind and label those who do not accept this as "Naxalites". It comes as no surprise that Manohar takes up the cause of some Mine operating families that have the worst track record in Environmental Management instead of forcing them to get themselves certified under ISO 14001 as Sesa Goa Ltd and Dempo Mining have done so far. It is not that these two companies are paragons of virtues but , at least, they have some standard.
It is time to end the "Titulo de Concessao" under the Portuguese law and make a fresh start with mining leases as per the Indian laws like Mines and Minerals Development [Regulation] Act. Mog asundi.

George Pinto and Chris Vaz are in total agreement over something. The extreme Right and Ultra Left in warm embrace. This is so touching, I dab my eyes delicately to wipe away the tears. Goa has about as much chance of surviving without the "bhaile", be it in investment or labour, as a child abandoned at birth. That too is a reality, which unfortunately cannot be captured by the camera. All this talk about Goans being overwhelmed by "bhaile" is utter nonsense. Goans are not the only ones in India, who are facing problems of rural migration and sky-rocketing land prices amidst crumbling infrastructures. It is one thing to qualify Goa's problems, it is quite another to suggest solutions that will completely disable it. selma -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
