I agree with you by and large. However, . It was necessary sometimes for
Goans to go out of Goa due to lack of jobs, educational facilities in Goa in
earlier days..My own grandfather went off to Africa and bought two beautiful
homes there, but his heart lay in Goa and he returned to his motherland to
retire. Unfortunately many of the others have forgotten their motherland.
There are other factors also. People I know have gone away to places like
Africa and the UK. On returning, they find that their houses are occupied by
strange people (thanks to the Munkar Act, they cannot claim their homes and
property). These are very complex problems unique only in Goa. Nobody wants to
spend years fighting legal battles, which they know they can never win neither
would they want to help financially.
