Bravo Jane Gillian, Your mail is really some explanation to put the arguing heads to rest.
I have been following many of the posts for quite some time, especially the arguments that Ex Goans in UK used to put forward, saying, they have bought houses, property in UK and therefore it is justifiable and should be allowed to purchase lands in Goa by British nationals. UK Goans were equating their purchase of Property in UK on par with land purchases of British National in Goa. So also some British were justifying their purchase of lands in India/Goa by arguing that so many Indians/Goans have bought the lands/houses and any other property in their country - UK, therefore it is right for them to purchase lands in India/Goa. But what these people were not saying is that the British that purchased the lands in India/Goa are infact British Nationals (and Not Indian Nationals) and also the so called Indians/Goans that purchased property in UK are also British Nationals (and no longer Indian Nationals). Once upon a time they have been Goans/Indians but now they given up their nationality and are become UK Subjects, therefore their argument doesn't hold good and same. Ex Indians/Goans who purchased the property/land/houses in UK have done so by their right of being UK Nationals where as the British who bought the lands in Goa are not Indian Nationals yet, therefore they are considered as Foreigners. And those Ex Indian/Goans who bought any property in UK were able to purchase it because they are thecitizens of that country and therefore they are no longer Foreigners to UK but to India yes. I hope I am clear.

(2)The female friend, may have been of Indian origin, but now is a British citizen, so under what laws of the state of Goa, prevalent at the time of purchase, was this British woman allowed to buy property in Goa? (3)The period of "lease" prevalent at the time of purchase by British nationals, was for how many years? (4)What is meant by the words"Those Goans/Indians having foreign passports". I presumed, that once you become a citizen of a foreign country, you can no more be called Indian or Goan, you are henceforth known as Britisher or American, not Goan or Indian. (5)The words "unscruplous lawyers/builders who are taking people for a ride". Really????? Britishers are now "DONKEYS"???? (6)The words "titles are not clear....buyers also are gulliable and are not verifying the papers". Really???? British Buyers are not verifying papers and are gullible??? Could someone on Goanet please explain, how the British ruled the world? ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail message and any attachments to it are for the sole use of the intended recipients and may contain confidential and privileged information.
