Hi Benedict,
Only NRI’s? Only if the Government is open about granting proper dual
citizenship will it have much meaning. Of all the Goans listed by you
as living in various countries overseas, can you say how many of these
Goans are NRI’s? I would say very few indeed, if you stop counting
those in the Gulf region.
Here in Australia we have a great example of how the Italians have their
own representatives elected to the Italian Parliament from among
Italians in Australia! Any one of Italian descent can get registered as
a dual Italian citizen with the right to vote.
Only when this happens to Indians who hold other citizenships, will
something really change.
I love Bernard’s idea about an interim Government. After all, Goa was
invaded against the wishes of blue blooded Goans.
Regards
Salus Correia
