You should be knowing better than me who belongs to the Uncivil Society of Goa
that the Western Ghats and mining issue are just a fraction of the Goan
problems. It is worth analysing how Goa has reached to such a stage. As long as
the other crucial aspect of divide and rule is not addressed, signing one
petition is of no consequence. When Goans are denied their fundamental rights
merely on basis of caste and religion, this is as great an evil as the
destruction of the western ghats. If support to every issue is going to be
weighed depending on which segment of Goans has initiated the movement, it is
but fair that Goans reserve the right not to cooperate when such elements are
involved, no matter how serious the problem. Who has decided that only mining
and the Western Ghats are important issues for Goans?
