Thanks Vivian for taking up for me.
I cannot just understand why Goans are against migrant labourers. My maid is
a Muslim from Karnataka. Honest to the core. Very clean, unlike some Goan
maids who don't have a bath before coming to work. this is the usual
complain of friends of mine who employed goan maids.
Aren't we Goans to be blamed for migrant labourers. Are the so called
Catholic builders employ all migrant labourers. Why don't they employ goan
labourers. I asked the Bengalie carpenter why did he leave Calcutta for
Goa, and he said he gets double the salary over here. Why do our
electricians, etc. go to the gulf, to get tripple the salary. Aren't they
migrant labourers in the gulf.
Why do Goans migrate to england, australia, etc. Maybe they are not educated
enough to get a job in India or the competition does not favour them. With
lesser education its easier to get a job abroad then India.
In Portugual my cousins lament that most of the people working in the winery
are from Ukraine.
At least 'outsiders' are polite, unlike goans who are not. Get into a bus,
'ladies only'. If there is a goan sitting he will not get up for a lady.
If he is an 'outsider' he will get up. I'v e had first hand experience.
School children will never get up for an elderly person. This does not
happen in Calcutta. a man cannot sit in 'ladies only' section, be in a bus
or metro.
We are all Indians, and secular. There is no difference between Catholics,
Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Budhists, etc.
