This article makes for depressing reading. The fact of the matter is
that in another couple of decades Goa will be subsumed into the rest of
India, having no distinguishing features other than perhaps some
architectural relics of a bygone age. There are mega demographic changes
occurring as we speak and those who made Goa the laid back place it was
have vanished or are a dying breed.
It is somewhat chillingly ironic that at the bottom of this page we are
urged to 'Protect Goa's Natural Beauty', while all around us men, like
those mentioned in this article, charged with protecting our interests
are the prime movers in it's destruction.
