Marlon: -Perhaps you are deliberately ignorant of the fact that Goan Migrants do not get Citizenship, neither do they influence the Politics as they dont have voting rights - Perhaps you are even more Ignorant of the fact that Arab Government are slowly but surely adopting measure to protect thier identity. -It appears you are more defensive with the objective to protect your immigrant status in you adopted country. Unlike many I could have also given up my citizenship but chose not to..

While so called Goan patriots such as Arvin call for the preservation of Goan culture from the hoards of "outsiders" coming into Goa, folks like him who live in the Gulf, outnumber the local Arab population and are contributing to the destruction of the local Arab cultures. Arwin can contribute to solving both issues by simply moving back to Goa. Unless Arwin is brave enough to do this, he is not a Goan patriot, but a phony hypocrite. Here is a relevant article regarding the issues being faced by the Arab locals, thanks to the "destructive" effects of immigrant workers like Arwin. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
