Suprised to see amchem bangarachem Goem in Huffington Post, (and other international media) with photograph.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/02/goa-tourism-chief-links-r_n_445799.html Was not Selma-bai telling us that any potential offender of a Goan woman would be "stripped bare and beaten up with chappals and then left naked in the middle of the street"? Will rape in Goa be a creeping crime, that today victimizes tourists and tomorrow the natives (similar to the drug problem? And then, supposedly the chappals will come out? Granted that Selma-bai was snagged by some unintended phraseology which made her sound self-righteous in defending the native Goan, while she sits safely in her own abode in far-away England. To me it looks like Goa needs a program of "Neighborhood Watch" where local residents help the police in maintaining 'Law and Order' in Goa and more importantly in their own neighborhoods.
