 Yes, migrants are resented wherever they go. As
 Mervyn pointed to the Canadian example of the 50s 
 albeit one does run into unsavory comments from 
 time to time directed at FOB's.

Mario observes:

Migrants who are temporarily in a country for their
own benefit are more likely to face resentment.  Those
who become citizens and demonstrate a committment to
their new residence through their attempts to
assimilate and contribute are less likely to do so,
excluding a rare exception.
 
I doubt anyone in Goa could resent a Philip Thomas or
a Suomo Chatterjee, for example, because they seem
more committed to Goa than many ethnic Goans.

Dear Vivian,
In your haste to argue the point, you've made it
personal. Second of all you've assumed certain things
about me which are not true. I don't understand why
debates of this nature always have to end up by taking
potshots at those holding an opposing view.

Be that as it may, I am glad to hear from a Goan
living in Goa with some experience in this field.
Sharing of these experiences can change our perception
of what is ground reality. 

Thank you,
Elisabeth

 We can bemoan the fact that we Goans are becoming a
 minority in our own land, 
 I can do that since I actually live in Goa most of
 the year.  But why are 
 people who have left Goa for good and settled in
 foreign lands bemoaning this 
 fact ? Nature abhors a vacuum, and the vacuum you
 have left behind by your 
 departure is being filled by people from other
   States and other countries. That is life.  Accept
 it or do something about 
 it. Dont just blow hot air.

 Vivian A. D'Souza
