Admin Noronha will now claim that the Hindu Nitin Kamat is a BJP agent because in the swamp inhabited by Admin Noronha, a Hindu's concern about a predominantly Catholic village has to be accompanied by an ulterior agenda. Apropos of the outsider Aboobakr - ask yourself if this could ever happen in any other Indian state, where an outsider terrorizes the locals with such impunity. It would be impossible in the coastal villages of Kerala - any outsider who is a menace would have been cut up into pieces and thrown into the Arabian Sea. (I do not advocate this course of action; just saying what would most likely happen there.) The fundamental problem lies with us Goans. When your own house is in disarray, when your own are so goddam corrupt, when your own constantly fight among themselves - why wouldn't the outsider exploit the situation? It would be hard to find as pathetic a people as Goans in India today. Regards, r
