Re: [Goanet] Global alert!>Backdoor privatization of heritage monuments-After Reis magos it would be Cabo de Rama (Kholgad) fort

We appreciate the concerns of Nandkumar over the silent privatisation of 
Goa's monuments for commercial purposes. All said and done the people of 
Khola will agitate but in the wrong place. We have the expert service 
providers who will descend in Khola to explore the market for social issues. 
So much time and energy is spent by often not so well to do village people 
but only to give fodder for the newspapers. This gives them a 'feel good 
factor' only till such time as their energies last.  Meanwhile, the looting 
and hooting goes on unceasingly but in the end things are where they were 
and in fact worse. Often, all because they have be enemployed in barking up 
the wrong tree.
We are in an age of  'market economy'. It is an age where social work is no 
more 'social'.  It is as anti-social as the corporate world.
Just like we have corporate tycoons we also have NGO giants. Both claim to 
be 'of the people and for the people'.
This is my Global Alert.
