Goa Su-Raj Party was born past 11 years to undo what is rightly or wrongly
happening TODAY.
And will endeavour to do its best to maintain some self-respect for GOA AND
GOANS starting from the 2012 Goa Legislative Assembly Elections.
Therefore the raison d'etre of GRA/GRSP.

The fault dear Antonio if one must call it a fault, is that of Goans
alone.
Like the East Indians who sold their lands, Goans are busy with this kind
of
activity too. Goans are much luckier. They are getting top dollar for
their
paternal legacies while the East Indians sold theirs relatively cheap
because the economic situation in India was not as great then as it is
now.
That is going to be the fate of Goa and no one can prevent it as long as
those in power have no accountability or have bought off that
accountability
with the very money that they have gouged from the very taxpayers they are
supposed to serve as public servants. Goans in Goa have more or less
resigned themselves to that reality. It is the Goans abroad who having
seen
another better reality, want to transplant it on their home soil. That
won't
happen. Not for a long time. And not until something drastic happens, like
the Arab Awakening. And even not then. It will quickly get back to the
same
old, same old after some time. Goans and Indians can make themselves
richer.
Getting them to make their society better is quite another matter.

The progressive and forward looking parents of Goa may have won a victory
for their children to be
educated in primary schools in English language medium of instruction.
But I foresee a situation which may not be to the liking of lovers of Goa.
It is possible that in the decades
that follow there may be an invasion of mothers with children aged
between
five and ten settling in Goa
for a limited period for their children to be educated in the English
language . And many of them could
make their stay permanent. These lower middle class and middle class
families could be mostly from
Maharashtra and Karnataka.
