Hi
This above titled article is written by Mr. Wendell who alike his other friends are making a strong point towards the migrant influx and how the Goan populace is reducing to a minority, according to NT (dated 12.05.08) out off 13 lakhs Goans 20 % could be the migrant community who has made Goa their home for all the unsruplous reasons. Our land has been sold to the outsiders by the greedy Goans wthout any second tought of keeping Goa for the Goans . In villages we find scores of Goans staying in rented rooms some having owned big and small properties. There is this case of a garder's family who migrated from the north of India to find a job and a rented room in Candolim. They have been working for the last few years with no change in profession but have managed to lure the landlady in selling them her small plot and not only that but have obtained loan and constructed rooms to let for foreigners .They have elevated from the profession of a garderner to a landlord and a hotelier . Howz that for a Goan tenant of the same land lady whose fate has not still changed only thing that has changed for him is that now he has got a new outsider as a batkar.
Things are changing in our small beautiful Goa and unless we start a movement of awareness about the core issues of Land for the Goans and stop the influx of migrants into GOa, we will see a time when a ghanti will call himself a Goan and the minority Goan will have to vote a migrant as a MP , a Chief minister, a local panch and so on( mind you we already have some yallapas as sarpanchas in a few panchayats.
