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.
