Time is running out; Goa is slowly losing its Prized Unique Identity and the critical issues include: (1) Mining (2) Mega Projects (3) Un-Controlled Migrant Influx (4) Large scale land sales to outsiders including foreigners (Includes a lot of land that is illegally converted), (5) The Slow death of Konkani, (6) Destruction of Environment/Ecology (7) Land/Water Contamination (8) Faulty Employment policy forcing Goans to leave Goa, (9) Illiterate/Corrupt MLA's in many key ministries of the Goa Government etc
In my view, Goans have three choices: (1) Give up on Goa, Do nothing and let Goa & its Identity be lost forever, (2) Discuss what we cannot do; which might as well mean giving up and doing nothing. (3) DISCUSS/AGREE WHAT "*WE CAN DO"* TO SAVE & PRESERVE, OUR BEAUTIFUL GOA & ITS PRIZED/UNIQUE GOAN IDENTITY" Arwin Mesquita
