Bollywood Should Stop Insulting Goans
"Over here liquor is cheap but women are cheaper" this disgustingly unethical summation would be insulting and derogatory to all the women of any locality referred to and should be by all means. When entertainment becomes irrational it becomes the cause of fury and anger, especially when the whole community is targeted, made fun off and offended. The whole world knows that we Goans are peace loving and hospital people but that does not give anyone the right to assume anything irrational about Goans. We ourselves are not irrational people and there is a limit to the irrationality that we can take. Goa has been the hub for Bollywood films and advertisement shoots for ages, Goans have been shown in poor or bad light in many a Bollywood films, but Goans have remained reticent and ignored such presentations but this particular statement has taken the cake and just cannot and should not be taken lightly or ignored. All of Bollywood is crazy about Goa and want to be in sync with Goa, they come, have fun, enjoy and then make fun of and insult Goans ? We Goans have our self respect and are a respected lot all over the world and are not be deemed fit for ridicule by Bollywood or anybody else for that matter. Yes, our culture, traditions and our very way of life may not be in sync with the rest of India, we are a different lot and are proud of it. Liquor may be cheap but our women are definitely not cheap, all our politicians may be crap and corrupt but we the people of Goa are educated, we are honest and we are ethical and should not be portrayed otherwise. I request the Goa government to warn film makers not to be derogatory and insulting to Goans or else the people themselves will take law into their own hands when there is a next film shoot anywhere in Goa, because we Goans too know how to "de gumake" !
