Swindon Goan festival – Character of Goans
Augusto wrote to Freddy reg. character of Goans:
If such eloquent chaps like you could come to Goa to raise your voice
along with other very eloquent chaps like Jose Colaco, Santosh
Helekar, Mario Gouveia, Arwin Mesquita and so on and so forth, then
maybe we could all do something to change the state of affairs that
prevails over here.
Instead NRI worthies like you love giving sermaos even when you know
that it is your physical presence and not your words that is
important.
Hi Augusto,
Are you suggesting that Goans who have gone abroad for bettering their lives
and future are doing a crime if they voice their opinion on happenings in Goa?
Do we only have to be physically present in Goa to show our love for Goa while
one who is abroad does not love Goa. Maybe you have a point that physical
presence is important but that does not mean one cant have his opinion if
working/living abroad. After all Goa is our homeland and it is only out of
compulsions for a better job/living that one is forced to look for better
opportunities. If we were very off, then maybe we would not be compelled to go
abroad. Just because a Goan is abroad does not make him less of a Goan than a
Goan residing in Goa.
Best wishes,
Camilo Fernandes
