I cannot match Rajan's brilliance even on matters on which he has not been interrogated by a committee of experts, nor can I match his crudeness. The way I see it is the latter negates any positive influence that the former might have. I agree with Sandeep that it is best to ignore the excessive passion and the ugly rhetoric, and debate the core issues that impact Goa and the principles that we stand for as citizens of a democratic republic. For me that issue is whether amending the Indian constitution to ban the relocation to Goa of Indians from other states would solve the problem of misuse of Goan land and resources. And also, whether there is a shared identity between Rajan, Arwin, Romlo, Remo and Rehman that can be preserved by instituting such a ban. Unfortunately, none of the advocates of this ban have carried this discussion forward in a sober and rational manner. Cheers, Santosh
