Mario Goviea responded: [1] You are a foreigner in the UAE on a work permit. The migrants in Goa are Indians. The last time I checked, Goa was a part of India. [2] You still don't seem to understand the difference between countries and states. jc's response: First of all, Mario is absolutely right. Those who are writing about (pro) migrants are mainly concerned with getting some cheap labour to do work they should be able to do but do not want to do.(Why soil our hands by doing chores like going to the market? Send the famous Chokra-Boy!) In the US (as an example ....do not know about the UAE), able bodied individuals do the work they are physiclly able to do ...themselves. Those who write against migrants coming to Goa ...give examples of other Countries and their immigration law. They still fail to understand that (except for Kashmir and the negotiated antes Art 370) ALL Indian citizens including Kashmiris can come and settle in Goa ....as they wish.....and by right. That was the deal worked out (through spectacular brilliance) by the Goa freedom fighters. That is why Goa celebrates June 18 and Dec 19 with such pomp and circumstance. Those who write against migrants coming to Goa ....tell us that there is a legal instrument in the Indian Constitution which allows them to do so. Apparently Manohar Parrikar is "going to do something about it", and another private member's Bill ill sort it out once and for all. (BTW: Manohar did didly squat about this when he was occupying the chair) On the other hand, Those who are writing about (pro) migrants FAIL to understand that the problem a good percentage of Goans has with this unbridled migration .....is the FILTH. Rajan Parrikar has explained it beautifully. This generation of Goans will pass and the next one will not realise how clean Goa was. They will look at the filth in the other cities of India and say .... 'Goa is the besht only'. They would have come to accept the filth as normal. Eventually .... ALL the pro and anti chaps will go and eat Pani Puri made with 'freshly vitaminised' River Mandovi water ....at the nearest Pani Puri stall run by the migrants. Traffic jam because of the Pani Puri line and rush? ...So what! Let's all blame it on those 4 and a quarter Brits who have (legally) purchased homes in Goa and say ....See Why the prices have shot up now? Hello!! Wake up ...it is time to go home now. This Bar is closed for the night. Enough of drinking for one day. Choll Voss ! jc
