Thanks JC and Carmen.
Only if JC knew the havoc that alcohol is causing in Goa's villages and its
role in corruption, I do not know if he would still disagree with me.
The good old days of social pressure are no more. The tavern keeper (gadi)
had some ethics then, but no more today. See the state of the youth in the
villages to realise the damge to society.
If only JC could experience the wonders of alcohol in swinging electoral
prospects, I do not know if he would still choose to disagree.
I knew that I was touching a sensitive spot for all goans. I have realised
this all since 1988 and will keep stressing that curbs on alcohol is the one
step desperately needed to Save Goa.
That Goa is not 'nitoll' neither 'jagrut' anymore. There is no 'lok' behind
the 'shakti', except politician and booze bhakti.
Sorry Goans, abstinence from intoxicants has become one of my principles for
consideration of any associations in activism.
