Dear Tony, Let me try.... If I understand you right, you're asking for a Goan Governor in Goa...
* The Governor is a figurehead. * Politicians and legislators (whose main job is meant to be the framing of apt laws for us all) are the ones which control the decision-making process, even though this should have been regulated by the bureaucracy and executive. * Besides the above, there is a "permanent government" in place, that continues ruling regardless which party is in place. * India's federal structure is based on a strange balance of powers between State and Centre. Which is why the A.L. Diases and the Gen. Sunith F Rodrigueses will become Governors of West Bengal or Punjab, while the S.K. Bannerjees or Gopal Singhs will be sent to Goa. Does that remind you of the British exiling the rulers of Burma to Ratnagiri, and the Bahadur Shah Zafars to Rangoon? Anyway, these guys can control things mainly when the locals don't -- for instance when it comes to forming a new government after a hung assembly is thrown up. (March 3, let's see.) In my view, the more powerful Lt. Governor of the pre-1987 days, together with the more dominated-by-Delhi administration then, helped to keep our own crooks and contradictions more in control than we managed after Statehood. So let's not go by ethnicity alone, please!
