Pl read my series “End of the Ethnic Goan” in www.goanspirit.com and more.
“In bigger towns too like Vasco, Margao, Panjim, except (mercifully) in the odd old quarter of town where landholdings are just too tiny to interest greedy developers. Non-Goan builders even hire non-Goan architects which as a cascading effect. The old Goan way of life is fast deteriorating any way you look at it. It’s getting dangerous too as crime grows at a disturbingly fast pace. This is how middle-class Goans, who have been reduced to becoming only armchair critics, see it. To whine about ‘the good old past’ and to do nothing about it, are in equal parts, new-age Goan folklore, if that makes sense.” ………… -- *When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know.
