Dear Arwin,
Nothing else will work to bring about what you aspire for, except 'iron
clad' political will.
And if at all this political will must stamp its brand on GOA to achieve all
those things Goans long for and desire, they (Goans) cannot sit idle by the
wayside and expect it ( the political will) to do the job for them. They
themselves must immerse themselves in that political will from head to toe.
Your personal established stand of remaining apolitical is a disaster, if I
may say so.
BTW, for the iron clad political will, we have the 10 year standing recipe.
Unfortunately there are no takers. Alas! The favourite sports that Goans
like to indulge in is to beat around the bush, never coming closer to what
needs to be beaten blue and black.

Subject: [Goanet] CAN DO'S - SAVE BEAUTIFUL GOA & ITS PRIZED/UNIQUE
GOANIDENTITY
Time is running out; Goa is slowly losing its Prized Unique Identity
and the critical issues include:
(1) Mining (2) Mega Projects (3) Un-Controlled Migrant Influx (4) Large
scale land sales to outsiders including foreigners (Includes a lot of land
that is illegally converted), (5) The Slow death of Konkani, (6)
Destruction of Environment/Ecology (7) Land/Water Contamination (8) Faulty
Employment policy forcing Goans to leave Goa, (9) Illiterate/Corrupt MLA's
in many key ministries of the Goa Government etc
In my view, Goans have three choices:
(1) Give up on Goa, Do nothing and let Goa & its Identity be lost forever,
(2) Discuss what we cannot do; which might as well mean giving up and
doing
nothing.
(3) DISCUSS/AGREE WHAT "*WE CAN DO"* TO SAVE & PRESERVE, OUR BEAUTIFUL GOA
&
ITS PRIZED/UNIQUE GOAN IDENTITY"
