Goemchea Saiba,Rakh Goem Xarak.
 
The one time very beautiful state of Goa got ruined at a very rapid pace after 
liberation.Our Green fields have turned into concrete jungles,hills are razed 
into flat surfaces,virgin beaches were miserably raped and we so called niz 
goemkars turned to be mere spectators.Our beautiful green hills which were once 
known for chunnam,charam,kan'dam turned out to be white,a fine example is on NH 
17 between Dandevaddo and Sarzora where one can witness the turning of green 
hills into white on the right while proceeding towards Margao.This is how Goa 
has been miserably raped with the help of elected representatives during broad 
daylight and we the sons of the soils in spite of being fine and fit turn out 
to be handicapped.Let us continue with our same behavior and soon we will turn 
out to be strangers in our own houses.
 
In Goa the book of law is only for the poor and the non-influential.Goan kharvi 
community which forms a great part of our culture is in difficulty at this 
hour,their aged old structures are on the verge on demolition in the name of 
CRZ, is  CRZ is not applicable for the star hotels?The entrance of one of Goa's 
beaches has been blocked by one of the star hotels and nobody dared to 
challenge them,is this not buying of the law?Is this what is called as 
freedom?These elected representatives are not to save Goa but to ruin and loot 
and that's what they have done.They had almost sold Goa in the name of regional 
plan 2011 and they will sell again in the name of RP 2021.
 
The famous River Princess is there as it was.Does our country don't have 
any professionals to remove the same vessel?The entire North Goa coastal belt 
has been polluted by the same but nothing happened.In places like USA, if one 
has been caught for polluting the sea with a drop of oil than the same is in 
trouble but in Goa tonnes of oil was discharged in Goa with regard to River 
Princess,nothing happened,because it's Goa,one can buy the law with money and 
that's what we witness.In Goa things have really changed after liberation but 
not from good to better but from bad to worst.
 
Niz Goemkar's all around the world are known as crabs in a bucket,we ourselves 
will not try get out of the same and will not all others also.We are been very 
good to the world but we are not so to our fellow goemkars  and this is one of 
the major reasons we are on the verge of total loss.We are very well known for 
fights among ourselves in the name Churches,chapels,temples,caste etc but in 
reality unity among ourselves forgetting all the differences is the need of the 
hour.Let us forget what has happened between us in the past and all of us turn 
out to be of one mind with a common intention of saving what is remaining in 
Goa for our next generation.
 
In spite of witnessing so many ugly incidents in Goa,I still say,Viva Goa! Viva 
Goemkar! Goemchea Saiba,rakh amkam,Samball amkam!
