Hey Joe, assaults on Goans by migrants are very common. A few weeks ago at the Cansaulim rail station (SWRailway), thee Goichi youngsters walking along bumped into a young migrant.....they were beaten, shirts torn. One could not imagine this happening a few years ago. Times have changed ya.
In Murmagao, apparently you cannot use the word 'ghaati' or you get assaulted (just hear say). A photo studio owner near the Murmagao Harbour (and police photographer) was assaulted not so long ago........a young woman claimed he was not giving her a studio picture...the old man tried to pacify her, saying he would find it. She wanted it NOW. She got on her mobile, called 3-4 goons from New Vaddem. Total Indi movie style. The police came, did nothing. The photograph was finally found.
