Dearest Arwin,
Hopefully, your prophetic words will filter through the deaf ears of
hypocritical
goans who matter (any guess as to who?), who could change things for
Goa's betterment, but prefer
to sleep with the worst enemy, that is the CONGRESS, thinking that they
will be protected against
being swallowed head first by the bogey of a SAFFRON enemy, miserably
failing to realize that their seeming friend has already started swallowing
them feet first.
Time has come for us goans to develop our knees instead of our backbones,
so that we are able to stay longer on them to 'beg', rather than to 'fight'
to stay alive.

Subject: [Goanet] Margao Violence (Letter to the Editor)
The recent Margao communal violence should not come as a surprise to any
one. Its a ticking time bomb. Migrants are a significant vote bank of
Goa's
Chief Minister (Mr. Digambar Kamat) for his political survival; a clear
manipulation of Democracy!! How much Goan Taxpayers money/land/housing is
given to maintaining/growing the vote bank? Demographics are rapidly
changing in Margao. Politicians use Migrants for Power; then what? Goans
will pick up the pieces in the future. Margao had disturbances only
because
different communities will have different views; sometimes radically
different. *No community can accept a major demographic change!! * This
Uncontrolled Migrant invasion & subsequent facilitation by politicians is
spreading across Goa e.g. St Inez, Chimbel, Sancoale etc: Are we going to
stop this now in a civilized manner or allow entire Goa to Flareup!!
