[1] I guess if all those people so concerned about dirty in India
(and, by extension, in post-1961 Goa) had to stay back at home, ours
would have been a less dirty place!
[2] There was an online question recently: "Why is africa and many
third world countries so dirty and underdeveloped?"
RESPONSE:
Frederick is a step-too-fast ahead of himself wrt # [1] above.
Is he suggesting that IF all Goans, who have emigrated post 1961, had
stayed put in Goa, then Goa would be a less dirty place? Is it his
position under that scenario, these 'bhaille' would not have come to
Goa and would not have filthied up the place. FN must be Churchill's
brother.
wrt # [2] above, the answer can be determined by examining the
following two parts:
(a) If these third world countries were previously colonies, were they
always dirty. As a case and point, ask yourself this Q: Was Bombay
dirty under the British? (BTW: Was Southhall (in W London) always this
dirty?)
(b) Have you checked the Swiss-bank accounts of the leaders of these
third world countries?
BTW: We can always fool ourselves with the notion that Portugal ripped
resources (and personal gold) from Goa; We may, however, wish to check
out the former Portuguese citizens who became post-1961 Freedom
Fighters and owners of newspapers for the Fredericks and Nandkumars of
this world to ply their brilliant revisionism and half-truths.
