The problems that Goa faces today have nothing to do with India or the
Portuguese. They have nothing to do with invasion, colonialism, liberation,
independence, freedom fighters, democracy, religion, intellectuals or lack
thereof. The blame lies entirely with the people of Goa. It boils down to basic
honesty, integrity, concern for fellow human beings, and respect for our
heritage and natural environment, all attributes that reside within the
individual.
Those who are blaming others and finding excuses of one sort or another are
themselves part of the problem in the first place.
Cheers,
