“WHAT IS WRONG WITHIN GOA?”
Goa once known for its striking beauty and pristine image is no longer the
same. Although Goa is called India’s paradise for its scenic magnificence of
the ancient temples, Churches, lovely green fields, mountains, beautiful clean
beaches, exotic climate and goan hospitality. But today we find Goa has become
a lawless state, a haven for the drug addicts, rapists and a tourist
destination for feminine starving enthusiasts. All flock to Goa to satisfy
their veiled desires.
Any wrong doings that were once criticized and condemned in the society by all
are today justified by most of the goans who have long forgotten the Ten
Commandments and all other virtues instilled in them by their ancestors. Only
money is what matters in Goa. The high living costs and steady rising inflation
levels have compelled most of the goan housewives to prefer to gain through
employment. Due to which today they are unable to instill moral values in their
children who have adopted the T.V. culture.
The religious preachers and community leaders who instead of preaching values
and practicing morals have confined themselves to preach otherwise and
interfere in policy matters and politicians to prove their support and
supremacy over others thus leading to the destruction of Goa’s social fabric.
And today they have succeeded alongwith all our past and present politicians in
dividing Goans on the plank of religion, casteism and communalism.
To add to Goa’s woes our Goan politicians have left no stone unturned, always
discreetly patronizing antisocial elements and seeking their help in instilling
fear among the educated upper middle class who voice their opinion or are
opposed to their selfish interests. The law enforcers always as usual striving
hard to please their political godfathers’ are too reluctant to file any
complaints against these antisocial elements and most of the times try to
convince the complainant to keep away from these policy makers and to mind
their own business. The coteries formed around these politicians always
castigate and spread false rumours against the ones who oppose their political
masters.
Government jobs instead of being offered on meritorious basis are offered to
the kith and kin of these politicians or at a price to the highest bidder.
Subsequently the deserving highly educated Goan populaces in order to find a
livelihood had to leave their families and seek greener pastures abroad or on
the Ship thereby depriving them of a standard family life.
Statehood was attained not to benefit the common man but only to empower the
elected representatives and to help them to evade accountability for their
ulterior motives. Almost a majority of the politicians have succeeded in
destroying the societal foundation for their selfish interests and personal
financial gains. Most of them are not involved in enriching the state and the
goans. None of the present politicians or their predecessors had any vision for
Goa nor do they have any love for their motherland. All they are interested is
in collecting funds for their respective political parties and concentrating on
how to win the next elections. Most of the developments are confined and
related to internal roads, drains and electrical connections to households six
months prior to the general assembly elections.
Major projects some like the Nylon 66 which could have generated employment to
hundreds of goans was opposed on flimsy grounds by some of these rebel rousing
politicians who used arm twisting tactics with the sole intention of raising
funds for their political parties from these companies who wanted to establish
in Goa due to the taxation benefits. Thereby sending wrong signals to all other
companies and multinationals which wanted to set up in Goa.
Unfortunately for Goa even the Influential elite class and Business community
along with a few members of the Fourth Estate in the past instead of vehemently
opposing and exposing these elected officials from destroying the goanese
ethnicity preferred to please and remain in the good books of all these
conniving politicians so as to obtain personal favours. So to all this and in
addition owing to the callous and lethargic attitude of Goans today everything
within Goa is wrong.
