What else can we do under this new colonial rule. Goans have to undergo the education they give us. Probably under the Portuguese rule we Goans may have had through education. Today's education in Goa is mass like the dump that was off loaded at the Bastora river. This xri is myopic and petulant does not see how much Goa has been subject to being ripped off since 61. The 'highly subsidised' (his words) costs are a drop in the ocean. Goa is left in a 3rd world with no future for development. Thousands of young Goans are now deserting Goa in hope of a better future. What I see is a scarecrow standing solitarily with a torn tricolour among the load which was once the Bastora river. BC
Your protege likes to run down the Indian Government. Yet by his own admission he has studied in Dhempe College - at the time in question he must have been paying fees of something lke around Rupees 350 p.a. University Education is highly subsidized by the Government in India. The measly 350 that he was contributing did not even cover 10 percent of the cost of educating him. Therefore the Indian Goverment has paid substantially towards his education. In Konkani we have an expression for this kind of behaviour: "KHATA TEA PANAR HAGTA" P.S. You think that you are doing a great thing by slurring the whole village of Moira. If it pleases your great mind, go ahead. But then you are never wrong. -- ** "Tony de Sa" < tonydesa at gmail dot com > **
