The world knows the susegaad Goan, Hindi films have made the perpetually drunk Goan famous, and the hospitable Goan is touted by the tourist industry. But the Goan warrior? Claude Alvares paid tribute to him at the recently held GBA rally at Azad Maidan. He doesn?t look like much. In fact he looks like an ordinary man, but his powers are legendary. He has taken on the might of government, big business and various lobbies and emerged victorious. Even as the state of Goa disheartens us, perhaps it is time to remember that there is hope.
My response: In nut shall, Venita is totally wrong is bestowing 'mighty'; 'warrior' and 'legendary' titles to that Goan. That Goan has proved to be a puppet dancing to the tunes of Digu for past 4 plus years! Only thing is that he is kept alive by IV 'Hope' drips prescribed by Dr. Digu But the founders of that Goan have already achieved their hidden agendas and are ripping the fruits these days - a perfect 'make hay while sun shines' attitudes.
